5.2.1 Prerequisites for the Operating System
Novell iFolder 3.2 and earlier is designed to work only on the Novell Open Enterprise Server for
Linux (OES Linux) platform, which is comprised of specific versions of the SUSE
®
Linux
Enterprise Server platform and the basic OES applications and services.
IMPORTANT: iFolder 3.2 server and earlier does not support SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
without the basic OES applications and services. It also does not support OES NetWare.
iFolder 3.x requires the following versions of the OES Linux server:
There is no upgrade or migration path from Novell iFolder 2.1x and earlier versions of iFolder.
For information, see the Novell Open Enterprise Server product site (http://www.novell.com/

5.2.2 Install Guidelines When Using an NSS Volume to Store
iFolder Data
Modify the OES Linux install and configuration to comply with the following guidelines:
• In YaST, on the Installation Settings page, reconfigure the Partitioning settings as needed to
support using NSS.
• Specify a ReiserFS (default) or EXT3 partition as your system device.
• NSS volumes are configured after the install is complete. If you plan to use NSS volumes,
some deployment scenarios require that you modify the partitioning to use EVMS
(Enterprise Volume Management System) as the device manager of the system device
instead of LVM (Linux Volume Manager, default) or a third-party volume manager. Make
sure to compare your storage deployment plan to those listed in “
Installing Linux with
EVMS as the Volume Manager of the System Device ” 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.
• 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.
