Make sure to compare your storage deployment plan to those listed in “ Using EVMS to
Manage Devices with NSS Volumes (Linux) ” in the OES Linux Installation Guide to
determine if you need to do this.
For example, if you have only a single device on the server (such as a single physical disk
or a hardware RAID 1 or RAID 5 device) and you plan to configure an NSS volume to use
as your iFolder data volume, you must modify your partitioning to use EVMS to manage
the device.
Š
In YaST, on the Installation Settings page, modify the Software components to add the NSS
package to the install. Plan to install iFolder after your OES Linux server is set up and you have
created an NSS volume to use.
Š
In YaST, on the Installation Settings page, make sure you do not add the iFolder 3 or iFolder 3
Web Access components to the install. You will install them later.
Š
After the OES Linux system is up and running, use the Storage plug-in to iManager to create
the NSS volume, create a directory at the volume root, then use YaST to install and configure
iFolder. Make sure to specify the path to the directory as the iFolder data store during the
iFolder configuration.
5.2.3 Install Guidelines When Using a Linux POSIX Volume to
Store iFolder Data
Š
In YaST, specify an Ext3 or ReiserFS partition as your system device.
Š (Optional) Modify the Software components to add the iFolder 3 components to the install.
If you install iFolder at this time, be prepared to configure iFolder as part of the install process.
For more information, see
Section 6.2, “Deploying iFolder Server,” on page 55 .
5.2.4 Install Guidelines for Other Components
We recommend that your iFolder enterprise server, Web Admin server and Web Access server run
on separate dedicated servers. For small office use, both enterprise server, Web Admin server and
Web access server can run on the same server without degraded performance. For best performance,
configure your iFolder server as an independent system with, at most, the following services:
Š OES 2.0 Linux SP1(Minimum predefined server plus graphics support and NSS if desired)
Š
Novell eDirectory 8.8 (can be configured on a different OES 2.0 Linux SP1 server)
Š Novell iManager 2.7 (can be configured on a different OES 2.0 Linux SP1 server)
Š
Novell iFolder 3.7 (typically post-installed on an OES 2.0 Linux SP1 server)
Š Enterprise server
Š
Web Access server (can be installed and configured on a different OES 2.0 Linux SP1
server)
Š
Web Admin server (can be installed and configured on a different OES 2.0 Linux SP1
server)
Š Mono 1.2. x (The Mono package is required for iFolder 3.7 enterprise server, Web Admin
server and Web Access server.)
