Upgrading NSS and Data Storage to OES 53novdocx (en) 7 January 20104.3.2 Moving Data from NSS on NetWare to NSS on OES 2 SP2The OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool supports transferring data from a source NSS volume on NetWare toa target NSS volume on OES 2 SP2. This method preserves both the Novell Trustee Rights foreDirectory users and the NSS directory and file attributes supported by only the NSS file system.For more instructions, see “Migrating File System from NetWare, OES 1 or OES 2 to OES 2 SP2Linux” in the OES 2 SP2: Migration Tool Administration Guide.4.3.3 Moving Data from NSS to Other Volume TypesThe OES 2 SP2 Migration Tool also supports moving data from an NSS volume on NetWare to aLinux POSIX volume on OES 2 SP2. If you configure the target Linux POSIX volume as an NCP volume and carefully follow theinstructions, the Novell Trustee Rights are retained and only the NSS file and directoryattributes are lost. If you move the data to a Linux POSIX volume target without configuring it as an NCPvolume, the POSIX access model applies. eDirectory users must be enabled for Linux UserManagement to access data on Linux POSIX volumes.If you are unsure about the implications briefly stated above, you should read the following sectionsin the OES 2 documentation: OES 2 SP2: Planning and Implementation Guide “The Traditional Novell Access Control Model” “NSS Access Control on OES” “Novell Client (NCP File Services) Access” “eDirectory User Access to OES 2 Servers” OES 2 SP2: File Systems Management Guide “Understanding File System Access Control Using Trustees” “Coexistence and Migration Issues”4.4 Planning to Upgrade NSSAs you plan your NSS implementation, the following file system guidelines should be noted: Section 4.4.1, “Identify NSS Coexistence and Migration Issues,” on page 53 Section 4.4.2, “Limitations,” on page 544.4.1 Identify NSS Coexistence and Migration IssuesFor a complete discussion of the issues involved in the coexistence and migration of Novell StorageServices for OES 2 that might affect your planning, see the following sections in the OES 2 SP2:NSS File System Administration Guide: “Cross-Platform Issues for NSS”Discusses pool snapshots, NSS volumes and features, file access, and management tools
