Plan Edirectory Before You Install; Samba Enabling Disables Ssh Access; Unsupported Service Combinations - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 - PLANING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 11-10-2009 Implementation Manual

If you've already upgraded the media format of the volume, you cannot fail over to a node that is
running OES 1 SP2 until you have upgraded the node to OES 2.
Removable Media Cannot Be Mounted on OES 2
CD and DVD media and image files cannot be mounted as NSS volumes on OES; instead, they are
mounted as Linux POSIX file systems.
For more details about NSS compatibility, see "Cross-Platform Issues for NSS Volumes" in the OES
2 SP2: NSS File System Administration Guide.

3.9.16 Plan eDirectory Before You Install

Although the default eDirectory settings work for simple trees, they are not usually practical for a
production implementation. For example, by default the tree Admin user and the server are installed
in the same context.
Some administrators, when they discover that the tree structure doesn't meet their needs, assume
they can rectify the situation by uninstalling and then reinstalling eDirectory. This simply cannot be
done.
In fact, OES services cannot be uninstalled. For more information, see "Disabling OES 2 Services"
in the OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide.

3.9.17 Samba Enabling Disables SSH Access

Enabling users for Samba automatically disables SSH access for them. However, this default
configuration can be changed. For more information, see Section 11.4, "SSH Services on OES 2,"
on page 93.

3.9.18 Unsupported Service Combinations

Do not install any of the following service combinations on the same server. Although not all of the
combinations shown in Table 3-2 cause pattern conflict warnings, Novell does not support any of
them.
