Description
The Novell backup infrastructure (called Storage Management Services
SMS) provides backup applications with the framework to develop a complete
backup and restore solution.
SMS helps back up file systems (such as NSS) or application data (such as
®
data from GroupWise ) on NetWare and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
(SLES) to removable tape media or other media for off-site storage. It provides
a single consistent interface for all file systems and applications across
NetWare and SLES.

Novell Linux User Management (LUM)
Novell Remote Manager (NRM)
CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a network sharing protocol. Novell
CIFS enables Windows, Linux, and UNIX* client workstations to copy, delete,
move, save, and open files on an OES 2 server. CIFS allows read and write
access from multiple client systems simultaneously.

Novell Backup / Storage Management Services (SMS)

Novell Cluster Services is a server clustering system that ensures high
availability and manageability of critical network resources including data,
applications, and services. It is a multinode clustering product for Linux that is
enabled for Novell eDirectory and supports failover, failback, and migration
(load balancing) of individually managed cluster resources.
Novell Cluster Services lets you add Linux nodes to an existing NetWare 6.5
cluster without bringing down the cluster, or it lets you create an all-Linux
cluster. With a mixed cluster, you can migrate services between OS kernels,
and if services are alike on both platforms (such as NSS), you can set the
services to fail over across platforms.
Using Novell Cluster Services with iSCSI technologies included in OES, you
can build inexpensive clustered SANs on commodity gigabit Ethernet
hardware. You can leverage existing hardware into a high availability solution
supporting Linux and NetWare clusters.
