12.3.3 Coexistence and Migration of Time Synchronization
Services
The time synchronization modules in OES have been designed to ensure that new OES 2 servers can
be introduced into an existing network environment without disrupting any of the products and
services that are in place.
This section discusses the issues involved in the coexistence and migration of time synchronization
in OES in the following sections:
Š
“Coexistence” on page 108

“Upgrading from NetWare to OES 2” on page 109
Coexistence
This section provides information regarding the coexistence of the OES time synchronization
modules with existing NetWare or Linux networks, and with previous versions of the TIMESYNC
NLM. This information can help you confidently install new OES 2 servers into your current
network.

Compatibility
The following table summarizes the compatibility of OES time synchronization modules with other
time synchronization modules and eDirectory. These compatibilities are illustrated in
Figure 12-5 on
page 104 and Figure 12-6 on page 105 .
