5.3 Installing or Configuring OES Components on an Existing Server

IMPORTANT:If you have patched a server, make sure the installation source is pointing to the latest Support Pack media. For procedures on updating the installation source, see Updating Installation Sources Using YaST.

If the server was installed and patched using physical media, make sure to download and insert the media from the latest Support Pack when prompted for the CD.

To post-install or configure OES components on an existing OES Linux server:

  1. Open YaST.

  2. Select the OES component that you want to install from the following YaST categories:

    YaST Category

    OES Component

    Security and Users

    Linux User Management

    Network Services

    eDirectory

    eGuide

    iManager

    iFolder 2.x

    iFolder 3.x

    iFolder 3.x Web Access

    iPrint

    LDAP Servers

    NCP Server

    NetStorage

    Novell Health Monitoring

    Novell Remote Manager

    Novell QuickFinder

    Novell Samba

    System

    Novell Cluster Services (NCS)

    Novell Storage Services (NSS)

    SMS

    Not all OES components require eDirectory to be installed on the local server. Components that have a dependency on eDirectory being installed locally will prompt you to install eDirectory if it is not already installed, but when eDirectory is installed this way, other components with an eDirectory dependency do not recognize that eDirectory has been installed.

    IMPORTANT:If you want the OES components to use a local eDirectory database, we recommend that you post-install eDirectory before installing any other OES component.

    The following services have eDirectory dependencies:

    • Novell eGuide

    • Novell iPrint

    • Novell NCP Server

    • Novell Cluster Services

    • Novell NetStorage

    • Novell NSS

    • Novell iManager (eDirectory must be somewhere in the network)

  3. After selecting the component to install, follow the on-screen prompts for that component until it is completely installed.

  4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each component that you want to post-install.

5.3.1 Installing eDirectory 8.8

IMPORTANT:Failure to deploy eDirectory 8.8 correctly can cause the server to fail. Make sure you read and follow all the specified procedures.

The OES Linux installation program installs eDirectory 8.7.3. If you want to upgrade a server to use eDirectory 8.8, you must update your server to OES SP2, then upgrade to eDirectory 8.8. For procedures, see the following information:
