Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP 2 - CLUSTER SERVICES 1.8.7 FOR LINUX Manual page 70

Novell DHCP Server for Linux supports using a shared Linux POSIX file system or a shared NSS
file system for the cluster resource. For information, see
Services for the NSS File
Linux File
After you set up Novell DHCP Server on the Linux server, you can use the DHCP Migration utility
to convert the configuration from NetWare to Linux. You cannot directly reuse the data. Use one of
the following scenarios to migrate your DNS server data, then perform the post-migration tasks to
set up clustering.
For information about prerequisites, see
the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration
"NetWare and Linux Clusters Are in the Same Tree" on page 70
"NetWare and Linux Clusters Are in Different Trees" on page 70
"Post-Migration Tasks" on page 71
NetWare and Linux Clusters Are in the Same Tree
In this scenario, both the NetWare server and the OES 2 SP1 Linux server are in the same eDirectory
tree. The NetWare source server must be running NetWare 5.1 or later versions. The Linux target
server must be running OES 2 SP1 Linux on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.
Run the DHCP migration tool from one of the Linux nodes. Perform the Tree Level Migration with
the same Source server (tree to which NetWare clustered nodes are attached) and Target server (tree
to which the Linux clustered nodes are attached). This ensures that the entire NetWare DHCP
configuration data is available for Linux DHCP. For information see
Attached to the Same
IMPORTANT: Before starting the DHCP server on the Linux cluster, stop the DHCP server on the
Netware cluster.
NetWare and Linux Clusters Are in Different Trees
In this scenario, the NetWare server and the OES 2 SP1 Linux server are on different eDirectory
trees. The NetWare source server must be running NetWare 5.1 or later versions. The Linux target
server must be running OES 2 SP1 Linux on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.
Run the DHCP migration tool from one of the Linux nodes. Perform the Tree Level Migration with
a different Source server (tree to which NetWare clustered nodes are attached) and Target server
(tree to which the Linux clustered nodes are attached). This ensures that the entire NetWare DHCP
configuration data is available for Linux DHCP. For information, see
Attached to Different
IMPORTANT: Before starting the DHCP server on the Linux cluster, stop the DHCP server on the
Netware cluster.
