You can install the Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology pattern during the OES 11 SP3 installation. For general installation instructions for OES 11 SP3, see the OES 11 SP3: Installation Guide.

  1. Start the YaST install For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and continue to the Installation Mode page.

  3. On the Install Settings page, click Software to open the Software Selection and System Tasks page.

  4. Under Open Enterprise Server, select Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology.

    When you select Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology, the following additional Open Enterprise Server patterns are automatically selected:
