Consolidating Data to OES Linux 758.2.7 Enable UTF-8 Encoding on NCP Client for SCUWhen using the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from servers storing double-byte characterset data (Japanese, Korean, and other non-ASCII characters) or extended ASCII character data(multinational characters), you must enable UTF-8 support in the Novell ClientTM 4.91 for Windows2000/XP. (UTF-8 support is turned off by default.) This prevents trustees and ownerships frombeing lost.8.2.8 Understanding the Need for Linux Enabling UsersWhen you use the Server Consolidation Utility to copy data from NetWare servers to NSS volumeson an OES Linux server, it transfers the NetWare trustee rights and supported file and directoryattributes along with the files. However, in order to preserve file ownerships, the users must beLinux enabled (also known as LUM enabled because the process involves the Linux UserManagement service in OES).To become Linux or LUM enabled, an eDirectory User object must be associated with an eDirectoryGroup object, which is in turn associated with an eDirectory Linux Workstation object thatrepresents the physical Linux workstation/server. The Group object is necessary because NSS onLinux uses Virtual File Services (VFS), which requires both a User ID and a Group ID to authorizeaccess.For a more thorough discussion of the issues involved with Linux enabling users for OES Linux, seethe Novell Linux User Management Technology Guide.Maintaining File Ownership InformationTo maintain file ownership information when copying data from NetWare volumes to NSS volumeson 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 youuse the nambulkadd command to Linux enable your users, the user IDs are updated immediatelyupon 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 areupdated. You can have the update ID process occur immediately by running the refreshids commandafter Linux enabling the user. For more information, see the Novell Linux User ManagementTechnology Guide.You can Linux enable users either one user at a time using ConsoleOne® or iManager, or in bulkusing the nambulkadd command.For instructions on Linux enabling individual users in iManager, see the Novell iManager 2.5Administration Guide.For instructions on Linux enabling users with LUM commands, see the Novell Linux UserManagement Technology Guide.
