Planning Your OES 2 Implementation
35
3.9.2 Always Double-Check Service Configurations Before
Installing
It is critical and you double-check your service configurations on the Novell Open Enterprise Server
Configuration summary page before proceeding with an installation. One reason for this is explained
in
Section 3.9.3, “Back Button Doesn’t Reset Configuration Settings,” on page 35
.
3.9.3 Back Button Doesn’t Reset Configuration Settings
During an installation, after you configure eDirectory and reach the Novell Open Enterprise Server
Configuration summary screen, service configuration settings have been “seeded” from the
eDirectory configuration.
If you discover at that point that something in the eDirectory configuration needs to change, you can
change the settings by clicking the
eDirectory
link on the summary page or by clicking the Back
button.
In both cases when you return to the summary page, the eDirectory configuration has changed, but
the individual service configurations have the same eDirectory settings you originally entered.
These must each be changed manually.
For example, if you specified the wrong server context while initially configuring eDirectory, the
NSS and LUM configurations still have the wrong context. You must select each service
individually and change the server context in them.
Unless you manually change the services affected by changes to eDirectory, your services will at
best not work as expected and at worst completely fail.
3.9.4 Common Proxy Password Should Usually Be Reset
If you choose to use the Common Proxy User when performing a new server install, you probably
want to reset the Common Proxy User password rather than accepting the system-generated value.
If the system-generated password is retained, you won’t be able to specify the proxy user for
additional installations because you won’t have the user’s password.
For more information about the Common Proxy User, see
Section I.3, “Common Proxy User - New
in SP3,” on page 266
.
3.9.5 Cluster Upgrades Must Be Planned Before Installing OES
2
Because of differences between Novell Cluster Services on NetWare 6.5 SP8 and OES 2, there are
important issues to consider before combining them into a mixed node cluster, as explained in the
following sections.
“Service Failover in a Mixed Cluster” on page 36
