2.2 Supported Mixed-Node Clusters

During the conversion, the intermediate cluster is referred to as a mixed-node cluster because the cluster contains both NetWare and Linux nodes. This is a temporary configuration that is supported for the purpose of converting the cluster and is not supported as a long-term operational state of the cluster.

A mixed cluster made up of NetWare 6.5 SP8 nodes and OES 2 SP3 Linux nodes is supported for the purpose of converting the cluster from NetWare 6.5 SP8 (with the latest support packs and patches) to OES 2 SP3 Linux or later.

A mixed cluster made up of NetWare 6.5 SP7 or earlier nodes and OES 2 SP3 Linux nodes is not supported.
