If so, you should probably preserve all the rights, metadata, and trustee information associated with the data on those volumes, so it makes sense to stay with Novell Storage Services.

Novell recommends implementing multiple LDAP servers because of the critical nature of the LDAP service. LDAP servers should be fronted with an L4 switch for load sharing and redundancy. If an L4 switch is not available, then DNS round-robin could be used as an alternative. -

Several tools, many of them Web-based, can be used to manage aspects of eDirectory.

All NDS versions should be at the latest version on their respective operating system platforms. If your version of NDS or eDirectory is outdated, download the latest software patch from Novell Directory Services Patches and Files (http://support.novell.com/patches.html).

Depending on your preference, you can perform an eDirectory server health check in several ways: Use the health check utilities in eDirectory 8.8: Novell eDirectory 8.8 runs a health check by default with every upgrade before the actual package upgrade. -

Moving to OES 2 SP2 provides an opportunity to update the tree by starting from scratch. You might consider consolidating more services while adding new OES servers. Some Novell customers have incorporated specialty trees, such as an identity vault on SLES 10 rather than on OES 2 SP2. -
Page 45: Moving, Creating, Or Importing Edirectory Users
Adding a branch to an existing tree Some Novell customers transfer objects to a new OES 2 SP2 branch and then gradually retire the older NetWare branch. By adding a branch, it's easier to drag and drop users and login scripts, certificates, and PKI so they don't need to be re-created. -

If the printer/manager configurations are using IP address assignments rather than DNS, Novell recommends deploying the iPrint agent to all of the workstations and changing the existing iPrint managers to a DNS configuration.

Set up iPrint on OES 2 SP2. Deploy iPrint agents to workstations. Novell's Server Consolidation and Migration Tool or the OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool are available to copy a NetWare-based iPrint/NDPS environment to an OES iPrint infrastructure.

Page 94: Planning To Upgrade Novell Cluster Services
Typically, the primary purpose of a cluster is to provide file and print services. Make sure you check the volume resources because it is easy to overload these services. As a general guideline, Novell recommends that NSS volume resources be kept at a total capacity of 80% or less. If you need to reduce the number of standalone servers in production, the logical approach is to move data and transfer services into the high availability resources of a cluster. -
