NSS devices and storage can be managed in the Web-based Novell iManager utility. NSS also
supports third-party tools on both platforms for advanced data protection and management,
virus scanning, and traditional archive and backup solutions.
In a mixed-platform cluster with Novell Cluster Services
OES and NetWare, allowing for full data, trustee, and file system feature preservation when
moving data to OES. However, best practice requires that you create all of the NSS volumes
you need in the cluster on NetWare before you join any OES nodes to the cluster. After that
point, you should not create additional NSS volumes or modify any of them until the cluster
has only OES servers remaining.
In addition, NSS on OES 2 SP2:
Retains all files, rights, metadata, restrictions, etc.
Includes NetWare Trustee access control (richer than POSIX)
Retains file system access (NCP
Retains all file system administration and management features
Can be easily clustered with Novell Cluster Services (NCS)
Is best for shared LAN file serving: excellent scalability in number of files; scales to
millions of files in a single directory
Supports multiple data streams and rich metadata (its features are a superset of existing
file systems on the market for data stream, metadata, namespace, and attribute support)

4.2 Platform Differences in NSS
Most NSS features that have been available on NetWare are now also available on OES 2 SP2.

4.3.1 Moving Devices from NetWare to OES 2
This is arguably the simplest method of all. NSS supports moving devices containing NSS volumes
between any servers that support a compatible media format, including moves between NetWare
servers and OES 2 SP2 servers.
