21.4 Migrating a Cluster

There are two scenarios for migrating clusters:

21.4.1 NetWare and Linux Clusters Attached to the Same Tree

Run the migration tool from one of the Linux nodes. Perform the tree-level migration with the source and target servers on the same tree.

This ensures that all NetWare DHCP configuration data is available for Linux DHCP.

In this scenario, both the NetWare server and the OES 2 SP3 Linux server are on the same eDirectory tree. The NetWare source server must be running NetWare 5.1 or later. The Linux target server must be running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP4 with OES 2 SP3on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.

21.4.2 NetWare and Linux Clusters Attached to Different Trees

Run the migration tool from one of the Linux nodes. Perform the tree-level migration with the source server (the tree to which NetWare clustered nodes are attached) on one tree and the target server (the tree to which the Linux clustered nodes are attached) on another tree.

This ensures that all NetWare DHCP configuration data is available for Linux DHCP.

In this scenario, the NetWare server and the OES 2 SP3 Linux server are on different eDirectory trees. The NetWare source server must be running NetWare 5.1 or later. The Linux target server must be running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP4 with OES 2 SP3 on either 32-bit or 64-bit hardware.
