6.2 Guidelines for Converting NSS Pool Resources from NetWare to Linux

6.2.1 NSS Pool Cluster Migration

In the mixed-node cluster, NSS pool cluster resources created on NetWare can be failed over or cluster migrated to nodes that are running OES 2 Linux where NSS is installed and running. Some NSS features are not available or work differently on Linux. For information, see Cross-Platform Issues for NSS in the OES 2 SP2: NSS File System Administration Guide.

Pool snapshots use different technologies on NetWare and Linux. Make sure to delete pool snapshots for all clustered pools before you begin the cluster conversion.

6.2.2 NSS File System Migration to NCP Volumes or Linux POSIX File Systems

To move data from NSS file systems on NetWare to NCP volumes or to Linux POSIX file systems on Linux, you must use the OES 2 SP1 Migration tool. For information, see Migrating File System from NetWare, OES 1 or OES 2 to OES 2 SP2 Linux in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration Guide.

6.2.3 Estimated Time Taken to Build the Trustee File on Linux

When you migrate NSS volumes from NetWare to Linux, a trustee.xml file is built at the root of the volume.

Testing found that this process takes about one minute per 50,000 storage objects.Testing was done on the following configuration for the target server:
