An update was made to the following sections:

C.5.1 Installing Open Enterprise Server Linux

The following updates were made to this section:

Location

Change

Setting Up Disk Partitions

Added important information about how to set up partitions if you plan to create NSS volumes on the same devices that contain system partitions, such as boot, swap, or root.

Customizing the Software Selections

Added advisory information to the description of Novell iFolder 3.x, Novell iFolder 3.x Web Access, and Novell Storage Services packages.

Novell iFolder 3.x

When you configure iFolder as part of the OES install and configuration, you can specify only an EXT3 or ReiserFS volume location for the System Store Path, which is where you are storing iFolder data for all your users. You cannot create NSS volumes during the system install.

If you want to use an NSS volume to store iFolder data, you must reconfigure iFolder 3.x and 3.x Web Access after the OES install. To reconfigure, use Novell iManager to create an NSS volume, then go to YaST > Network Services and select iFolder 3.x and iFolder 3.x Web Access to enter new information. All previous configuration information is removed and replaced.

Novell iFolder 3.x Web Access

If you plan to reconfigure iFolder 3.x after the OES configuration to use an NSS volume as the System Store Path, make sure you also reconfigure iFolder 3.x Web Access.

Added the following for iFolder Server URL:

https://IP_address

Specify an HTTPS and an IP address to configure secure SSL exchanges between the Web Access server and the iFolder enterprise server.
