Extending the Schema While Installing OES 2

The simplest way to extend the schema for OES 2 servers is to have a tree admin install the first
OES 2 server and the first instance of each OES 2 service that you plan to run on your network.
After this initial installation, you can assign subcontainer admins with the required rights to install
additional servers and services. For more information on the required rights for the various OES
services, see "Rights Required for Subcontainer Administrators" on page

Using the YaST Plug-In to Extend the Schema

If you want a subcontainer admin to install the first OES 2 server or the first instance of an OES 2
service in an existing tree, and you don't want to grant that admin the Supervisor right to the [Root]
of the tree, you can extend the schema by using YaST from any of the following locations:
An OES 2 SP2 server running in another tree
An OES 2 SP2 server that was installed without any OES 2 services added (the YaST plug-in is
a default OES 2 component)
or
A SLES 10 SP3 server with the
available on the OES 2 SP2 installation media and can be launched at a terminal prompt
following installation by entering
To run the Novell Schema Tool:
1 On the server's desktop, click Computer and open the YaST Control Center.
2 Click Open Enterprise Server > Novell Schema Tool.
3 Depending on the installation method you used, you might be required to insert your OES 2
installation media.
4 On the Novell eDirectory Extension Utility page, specify the information for an eDirectory
server with a Read/Write replica of the Root partition.
Be sure to provide the correct information to authenticate as an admin user with the Supervisor
right at the [Root] of the target tree. Otherwise, the schema extension fails.
5 If you are preparing the tree so that a subcontainer admin can install the first OES 2 SP1 or later
server, select the services marked with an asterisk (*) in
Schema Extension?" on page
Although this step is not required if the tree already has an OES 2 SP1 or later server installed,
selecting the marked services won't cause any problems.
6 Select all of the other services you plan to run on any of the OES 2 servers in the tree.
7 Click Next.
The schema is extended.
