1.5 Planning for the NOWS SBE Install
When planning your installation of Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition, keep the
following items in mind:
Section 1.5.1, "Server," on page 15
Section 1.5.2, "Firewall (IPTables )," on page 15
Section 1.5.3, "Component Install Order," on page 16
Section 1.5.4, "Creating a New Directory," on page 16
Section 1.5.5, "NetWork Backup (Amanda)," on page 17
Section 1.5.6, "E-Mail and Collaboration (GroupWise)," on page 17
Section 1.5.7, "Helpdesk," on page 17
1.5.1 Server
By accepting the default partitioning information, the installation overwrites all existing files on the
server. Change this configuration if you plan to install NOWS SBE 2.0 on an existing partition.
Verify that the server does not see any partitions or devices that you do not want formatted and
wiped. If components are installed while connected to a Storage Area Network (SAN), there is the
potential to wipe out any partitions and data that it sees.
You also need to make sure that your server is plugged into a network where DHCP is installed.
1.5.2 Firewall (IPTables )
Below is a table with the typical ports that need to be opened on your firewall for each component.
