C.1 January 2014 (OES 11 SP2)

C.1.1 Apache HTTP Server

Section 6.0, Apache HTTP Server was updated to describe key considerations for using Apache 2 on Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 and later servers.

When you install OES services on the server, Novell-ready versions of Apache 2 HTTP Server software (Prefork, 64-bit) and Tomcat 6 are automatically installed. Apache and the OES Welcome website are automatically configured for non-secure port 80 and secure port 443. The Apache HTTP Server daemon (httpd2) starts automatically on server restart.

To set up personalized websites, you must manually create a virtual host configuration file for each website. Templates for secure SSL virtual host and non-secure virtual host configuration files are available in the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ directory. Use a text editor to create or modify the configuration files, then gracefully restart the Apache daemon (rcapache2 graceful) to apply the changes.

WARNING:Do not install the SUSE Linux Web and Lamp Server pattern. Do not use the HTTP Server option in YaST to manage Apache or virtual host settings on an OES server. It overwrites essential OES settings for Apache and breaks the existing setup. For recovery information, see Section 6.4.1, Apache Server Errors after Using the HTTP Server Option in YaST.

C.1.2 Archive and Version Services

Beginning with OES 11 SP2, there is no active development or enhancement to Archive and Version Services, and support will be limited to security fixes. You can continue to use AV resources with Novell Cluster Services.

C.1.6 Novell CIFS

Location

Change

Section 9.0, Novell CIFS

You can add a sleep command of 5 or more seconds before the novcifs -add command to resolve timing issues that cause the resource to go comatose.

C.1.7 Novell iPrint

Location

Change

Section 13.2.4, Editing the Load and Unload Scripts for the OES iPrint Cluster Resource

The daemons can also be started by using the file path /etc/init.d/novell-idsd start and /etc/init.d/novell-ipsmd start.

The daemons can also be stopped by using the file path /etc/init.d/novell-ipsmd stop and /etc/init.d/novell-idsd stop.

C.1.8 Planning the Conversion of Cluster Resources

C.1.9 Planning the Conversion of Load and Unload Scripts

Location

Change

Section 3.8, Adding Monitor Scripts on Linux

After the conversion is finalized, you can enable monitoring independently for each cluster resource, and configure the resource’s monitor script. You must take the resource offline and bring it online to apply the new settings. See Enabling Monitoring and Configuring the Monitor Script in the OES 11 SP3: Novell Cluster Services for Linux Administration Guide.

C.1.10 QuickFinder Server

Beginning with OES 11 SP2, there is no active development or enhancement to QuickFinder, and support will be limited to security fixes. You can continue to store QuickFinder information on clustered data resources with Novell Cluster Services.
