6.9 Consolidating Data to or from a NetWare 5.1
Cluster
When a volume is cluster enabled, an object is created in eDirectory with the name of the cluster
followed by an underscore followed by the volume name (for example, cluster1_vol1). For the
Server Consolidation Utility to function properly with a NetWare 5.1 cluster-enabled volume, the
server name followed by an underscore followed by the Volume Name object must be used in the
Project Window instead (for example, server1_vol1).
This substitution can be accomplished by completing the following steps:
1
Start ConsoleOne, and browse to the context where the NCP
TM
Server object resides.
2
Right-click the right pane, select
New
>
Volume
, then type the name of the new object in the
first field.
This should be the server name followed by an underscore followed by the volume name.
3
In the second field, browse and select the appropriate server.
4
In the third field, select the volume from the drop-down menu, then click
OK
.
5
In the Server Consolidation Utility Project Window, refresh the container where the Volume
object is located to make the new object appear.
6
When dragging-and-dropping in the project window, use the newly created Volume object.
If you use the
clustername_volumename
object instead of creating and using the new Volume
object, a critical SMDR error will occur and you won’t be able to complete the consolidation
process.
7
After the consolidation is complete, you can delete the newly created Volume object.
6.10 Consolidating Data to Novell Branch Office
Novell Branch Office (formerly Nterprise Branch Office) server is a business office management
solution that reduces the costs and challenges of managing and using offices in remote locations.
Novell Branch Office is server software that you can deploy on hardware at remote offices and still
have the flexibility to manage from one central location at your corporate offices. Administrators
and users access the features they need through the Internet from a Web browser.
Moving directories, volumes, or users and their associated trustees and rights to a new Branch
Office server is a daunting task made easier by the Server Consolidation Utility. Moving information
with the Server Consolidation Utility is faster and easier than manually entering individual users,
copying files, and manually assigning their rights and trustees on a new Branch Office server.
NOTE:
Anytime that a Branch Office server is rebooted, the sys: volume is recreated on the server.
Because of this, the Server Consolidation Utility will not display the sys: volume on Branch Office
servers.
The Server Consolidation Utility works with Novell Branch Office servers in much the same way it
works with NetWare servers. However, there are a few differences in the way the Server
Consolidation Utility runs in relation to Branch Office servers. This section describes the following:
