Moving Data From Nss On Netware To Nss On Oes 2 Sp2; Moving Data From Nss To Other Volume Types; Planning To Upgrade Nss; Identify Nss Coexistence And Migration Issues - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2.0 SP2 - UPGRADING TO OES-PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 12-2009 Implementation Manual

4.3.2 Moving Data from NSS on NetWare to NSS on OES 2 SP2

The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool supports transferring data from a source NSS volume on NetWare to
a target NSS volume on OES 2 SP2. This method preserves both the Novell Trustee Rights for
eDirectory users and the NSS directory and file attributes supported by only the NSS file system.
For more instructions, see
Linux" in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration

4.3.3 Moving Data from NSS to Other Volume Types

The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool also supports moving data from an NSS volume on NetWare to a
Linux POSIX volume on OES 2 SP2.
If you configure the target Linux POSIX volume as an NCP volume and carefully follow the
instructions, the Novell Trustee Rights are retained and only the NSS file and directory
attributes are lost.
If you move the data to a Linux POSIX volume target without configuring it as an NCP
volume, the POSIX access model applies. eDirectory users must be enabled for Linux User
Management to access data on Linux POSIX volumes.
If you are unsure about the implications briefly stated above, you should read the following sections
