Consolidating Data to OES Linux 75
8.2.7 Enable UTF-8 Encoding on NCP Client for SCU
When using the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from servers storing double-byte character
set data (Japanese, Korean, and other non-ASCII characters) or extended ASCII character data
(multinational characters), you must enable UTF-8 support in the Novell Client
TM
4.91 for Windows
2000/XP. (UTF-8 support is turned off by default.) This prevents trustees and ownerships from
being lost.
8.2.8 Understanding the Need for Linux Enabling Users
When you use the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from NetWare servers to NSS volumes
on an OES Linux server, it transfers the NetWare trustee rights and supported file and directory
attributes along with the files. However, in order to preserve file ownerships, the users must be
Linux enabled (also known as LUM enabled because the process involves the Linux User
Management service in OES).
To become Linux or LUM enabled, an eDirectory User object must be associated with an eDirectory
Group object, which is in turn associated with an eDirectory Linux Workstation object that
represents the physical Linux workstation/server. The Group object is necessary because NSS on
Linux uses Virtual File Services (VFS), which requires both a User ID and a Group ID to authorize
access.
For a more thorough discussion of the issues involved with Linux enabling users for OES Linux, see
the
Novell Linux User Management Technology Guide .
Maintaining File Ownership Information
To maintain file ownership information when copying data from NetWare volumes to NSS volumes
on OES Linux, Novell recommends that you Linux enable your users before copying their data.
IMPORTANT: If you Linux enable users after their data has been copied to an OES Linux server,
the file ownerships might not be re-established immediately on the destination NSS volume. If you
use the nambulkadd command to Linux enable your users, the user IDs are updated immediately
upon completion of the command. However, if you Linux enable users individually with iManager,
ConsoleOne, or the namuseradd command, it could take up to four hours before the user IDs are
updated. You can have the update ID process occur immediately by running the refreshids command
after Linux enabling the user. For more information, see the
Novell Linux User Management
Technology Guide .
You can Linux enable users either one user at a time using ConsoleOne
®
or iManager, or in bulk
using the
nambulkadd
command.
For instructions on Linux enabling individual users in iManager, see the Novell iManager 2.5
Administration Guide .
For instructions on Linux enabling users with LUM commands, see the Novell Linux User
Management Technology Guide .
