Product Description

Novell Storage Manager for eDirectory introduces management and structure to an unmanaged and unstructured Novell network storage system. In the process, it automates the full life-cycle management of user and group storage. Leveraging directory services (commonly referred to as “the directory”), Novell Storage Manager automates a comprehensive set of storage management tasks based on events, identity, and policies that reside in the directory.

This update to Novell Storage Manager 4.0 for eDirectory is a maintenance release that offers new functionality and addresses several bug fixes.

Important: As of December 31, 2014, Novell discontinued Extended Support for Open Enterprise Server 2. As a result, the components located in the SLES10 folder of the Novell Storage Manager 4.0 ISO are included as a courtesy for Open Enterprise Server 2 customers who have not yet upgraded to a supported version of Open Enterprise Server. These components are not supported, and their inclusion is not an indication that they are supported. Novell Storage Manager will continue to support Open Enterprise Server 2 as a storage target.

New to Novell Storage Manager 4.0.0.1 for eDirectory:

  • Bug Fixes
