There is a book on this: "Novell Cluster Services for NetWare and Linux". This session was about OES, not OES2. Again, my notes:
- On linux, cluster nodes are added through YaST
- 120 bytes of meta-data per file on NSS
- iPrint volumes could go on non-NSS volumes
- ext3 on OES2 is indexed, not indexed on OES1. Problem for larger directories.
- Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Tool can migrate Netware to Linux
- While running in mixed mode, can not extend or create NSS pools. Reboots all around to make this take.
- In mixed mode, trustee modifications do NOT transfer to the other OS. Migrate your NetWare volumes to OES-Linux, and leave them there!
- In OES-Linux, trustees are kept in a file, not in the file-system.
- In mixed mode, cluster load/unload scripts are kept in /etc/opt/novell/ncs/
- When out of mixed mode, scripts are promoted into edir
- Cluster licenses are not checked in OES-linux, but still 'count' come audit time. So have them.
- The 'cluster convert' command ends mixed-mode operation
- Clustering inside VMWare ESX server: only 2-node Microsoft clusters are supported. All others are not.
