4.2 Installing DST on an Existing OES Server

You can install the Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology pattern at any time after the initial OES installation by using YaST > Open Enterprise Server > OES Install and Configuration. For general instructions for installing OES services on an existing OES server, see Installing or Configuring OES Services on an Existing OES Server in the OES 2023: Installation Guide.

  1. Log in to the server as the root user, then launch YaST 2.

  2. In YaST, select Open Enterprise Server > OES Install and Configuration.

    Wait for the Package Manager to load the Software Selection page. The Open Enterprise Server patterns appear at the end of the list.

  3. On the Software Selection page under Open Enterprise Server, select Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology and any other compatible OES patterns that you want to install.

    IMPORTANT:Services that are already installed are indicated by a check mark in a blue status check box next to the service. If a service is already installed, do not select it again.

    When you select Novell NCP Server / Dynamic Storage Technology, the following additional Open Enterprise Server patterns are automatically selected if they are not already installed:

    • Novell Backup / Storage Management Services

    • NetIQ eDirectory

    • OES Linux User Management

    • OES Remote Manager (NRM)

  4. If it is not already installed, select OES Storage Services from the Open Enterprise Server patterns.

    NSS is required because DST shadow volume pairs are supported only for NSS volumes.

  5. (Optional) If it is not already installed, select Novell iManager from the Open Enterprise Server patterns.

    You must install Novell iManager somewhere in your network, but it is not necessary to install it on every server.

  6. (Optional) If it is not already installed, and if you plan to configure shared DST shadow volume pairs, select OES Cluster Services (NCS) from the Open Enterprise Server patterns.

    For information about configuring the server for clustering, see Configuring OES Cluster Services in the OES 2023: OES Cluster Services for Linux Administration Guide.

  7. (Optional) If you plan to provide access to DST shadow volumes for CIFS users, select OES CIFS from the Open Enterprise Server patterns if not installed.

  8. Click Accept to install the selected patterns.

    Wait while the patterns’ packages are installed and the server is configured for the added software.

  9. On the Open Enterprise Server Configuration page, click Next.

  10. After the installation is completed, click Finish, then continue with Section 7.0, Configuring DST Global Policies.
