NetWare Licenses and OES 2 Trees
OES doesn’t use Novell Licensing Services ( Section 4.5, “Licensing,” on page 57 ). As a result, OES
servers don’t need a license container in eDirectory as part of the server installation.
In a mixed OES 2 and NetWare eDirectory tree, at least one NetWare server must hold a replica for
each partition where there is a NetWare server object. Without this configuration, It is impossible to
install licenses or to service requests from NetWare servers to consume those licenses.
If you need to install a NetWare server in an OES tree, you must do the following after installing the
first NetWare server in a partition:
1 Install iManager on the NetWare server, or use iManager Workstation.
You can do this during initial installation or later as described in “
Installing iManager ” in the
Novell iManager 2.7 Installation Guide .
2 Add a Read/Write replica to the server as described in “ Adding a Replica ” in the Novell
eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide .
3 Install the NetWare license as described in “ Installing and Removing License Certificates ” in
the NW 6.5 SP8: Licensing Services Administration Guide .
The iManager Licensing plug-in is not installed on OES servers. If you have configured Role-
Based Services, you need to make sure the licensing plug-in is installed and added to the RBS
collection. For more information, see “
Upgrading iManager ” in the Novell iManager 2.7
Installation Guide .
NetWare 6.5 Servers Must Be Running SP3 or Later
If you are installing OES 2 servers into a tree containing NetWare 6.5 servers, be sure that the
following server types have been updated to SP3 or later prior to installing OES 2:
Š
SLP Directory Agents: If the SLP Directory Agents on your network are not running NetWare
6.5 SP3 or later, installing an OES 2 server into the tree can cause the DA servers to abend.
Š
LDAP Servers: If the LDAP servers referenced in your installation are not running NetWare
6.5 SP3 or later, the servers might abend during a schema extension operation.
3.9.14 Novell Distributed Print Services Cannot Migrate to
Linux
NDPS
®
clients are not supported on OES. You must therefore migrate any NDPS clients to iPrint
before you migrate your print services to OES. For more information, see “ Migrating NDPS Printers
to iPrint ” in the NW 6.5 SP8: iPrint Administration Guide .

About New Media Support and Clusters
The new media support for hard links on OES 2 NSS volumes was not available for OES 1 SP2
Linux and earlier, but it was available for NetWare 6.5 SP4 and later.
