13.2 Cleanup Objects

On completion of Transfer ID, some of the objects in eDirectory retain the temporary Linux server hostname. You can manually clean up the following objects from the target server. Even if the objects are not cleaned, they do not impact the performance of the target server.

13.2.1 AFP

If you decide to delete the proxy user name that has the old host name, you must recreate a new proxy user using YaST.

  1. Using iManager, delete the proxy user. The format of the proxy user is cn=afpProxyUser-<new_hostname>.<context_of_server>.

  2. Using YaST, recreate the proxy user.

13.2.2 CIFS

If you decide to delete the proxy user name that has the old host name, you must recreate a new proxy user using YaST.

  1. Using iManager, delete the proxy user. The format of the proxy user is cn=cifsProxyUser-<new_hostname>.<context_of_server>.

  2. Using YaST, recreate the proxy user.

13.2.3 eDirectory

Delete the following objects that are present with the temporary Linux hostname:

  • SAS Service-<temporaryLinuxhostname>

  • DNS AG <temporaryLinuxhostname>

  • IP AG <temporary IP address-temporaryLinuxhostname>

  • SSL CertificateDNS-<temporaryLinuxhostname>

  • SSL CertificateIP-<temporaryLinuxhostname>

13.2.4 NSS

Pools and Volumes

The pools and volumes created on the Linux server before performing Transfer ID are associated with the old host name. After Transfer ID perform the following:

  1. Using iManager, delete the pool and volume object containing the temporary Linux host name.

  2. (Conditional) If the target server contains pools or volumes that are not available on the source server, recreate these objects using Update NDS option from NSSMU.

13.2.5 iPrint

  1. To delete the NDPSPrinter object, run the /opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprintcleanup.pl script.

    For information on how to run the script, see Section 27.8, Cleaning Up Stale Objects.

13.2.6 DHCP, FTP, NTP and iFolder

These services require no additional steps after Transfer ID.
