1.5.1 Dynamic Storage Technology
OES 2 introduces Novell Dynamic Storage Technology, a unique storage solution that lets you
combine a primary file tree and a shadow file tree so that they appear to NCP and Samba/CIFS users
as one file tree. The primary and shadow trees can be located on different file systems, different
servers, or even different types of storage.
This lets you manage storage costs in new and efficient ways that were not previously possible.
For more information, see the related sections in Chapter 13, “Storage and File Systems,” on
page 123 and the OES 2 SP2: Dynamic Storage Technology Administration Guide .
1.5.2 OES 2 Migration Tools
In addition to the legacy Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, OES 2 includes new migration
tools for migrating data and services from NetWare to OES 2.
For more information, see Chapter 8, “Migrating and Consolidating Existing Servers and Data,” on
page 75 .
1.5.3 Xen Virtualization Technology
Both OES 2 and NetWare 6.5 SP8 can run in virtual machines on either an OES 2 or a SUSE
®
Linux
Enterprise Server 10 SP1 or later server. This is especially valuable to those organizations that are
deploying new hardware that doesn’t run NetWare as a physical installation.
For more information, see Chapter 9, “Virtualization in OES 2,” on page 77 .
