About This Guide
Most organizations test new products in a lab setting prior to making them available for general use.
This guide is designed to help you set up a Novell®Open Enterprise Server 2 SP2 server in a lab
environment, using a specific and simplified configuration. The configuration is limited in scope
and is meant only to acquaint you with OES 2 and provide exposure to the Novell products it
contains.
To help you with your transition from NetWare®to Open Enterprise Server 2 SP2 (OES 2 SP2), this
guide also includes instructions for setting up a NetWare 6.5 SP8 virtual machine running on an
OES 2 SP2 host server.

About the Information Flow in This Guide
The sections in this guide are designed to be accessed sequentially, guiding you through the main
tasks of setting up an OES 2 exploration lab:
1. Installing OES 2 and virtualized NetWare servers in the lab.

10 OES 2 SP2: Lab Guide for Linux and Virtualized NetWare
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
2. Setting up the eDirectory infrastructure: User objects, Group objects, passwords, etc.
3. Reviewing the services featured in the guide and performing all additional setup tasks required
for testing and exploring the features.
4. Testing and exploring the features.
Using This Guide as a Reference
If you want to install additional OES 2 servers, create a different tree structure than the one specified
in this guide, or diverge from the instructions presented, you can still use these instructions as a
basic outline for setting up OES 2 services in a lab environment. However, be aware that any
divergence from the instructions presented or the order they are presented in, can cause ripple effects
through the rest of the guide. If you need to diverge, refer to the information found in the following
guides for assistance:
OES 2 SP1: Planning and Implementation Guide
OES 2 SP2: Installation Guide
OES2 SP1: Linux Tips for NetWare Administrators
OES 2 SP2: Lab Guide for Linux and Virtualized NetWare
Where is Novell Samba?
The Novell Samba service available in previous versions of OES is still available. However, because
it cannot run on the same server as Novell CIFS, instructions for installing and configuring a Samba
service have been removed from this guide.
If you are interested in experimenting with the Novell Samba, refer to the Lab Guide distributed
with the initial release of OES 2 and available from the Previous Releases page on the OES 2
documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/previous-
releases.html#previous-releases).

1.3 Installing the Server Software
Complete the instructions in the following sections.
Section 1.3.1, “Prerequisites,” on page 14
Section 1.3.2, “Procedure,” on page 14
1.3.1 Prerequisites
Before installing OES 2 on your server, you must complete the following tasks:
Ensure that the server computer meets the requirements outlined in Section 1.1, “Lab Setup
Requirements,” on page 11.
Prepare the software for installation as explained in Section 1.2, “Obtaining Installation
Media,” on page 12.
1.3.2 Procedure
WARNING: This procedure permanently erases any data currently on your server’s hard drive.
1Prepare the BIOS on your server machine so that it will boot from the CD-ROM drive first.
2Insert the SLES 10 SP3 CD1 or DVD1 into your server and reboot the machine.
3When the boot selection page appears, immediately press the Down-arrow key to select the
Installation option, then press Enter.
If you don’t respond before the machine starts booting from the hard disk, reboot the server and
repeat this step.
4After the boot process finishes, select an installation language, then click Next.
5Read and agree to the software license agreement, then click Next.
6Select New Installation, select the Include Add-On Products from Separate Menu option, then
click Next.
7On the Add-on Product Installation page, click Add.
8Select CD, then click Next.
9Insert the OES 2 SP2 CD as prompted, then click Continue.
10 After the catalog is added, read and agree to the OES 2 license agreement, then click Next >
Next.
11 Select the time zone for the server, then click Next.
12 On the Installation Settings page, click Partitioning.
If your server has existing partitions, the OES install tries to add new SLES partitions to them.
13 To ensure a clean install, use the following table to navigate the partitioning pages and prepare
your system disk.
IMPORTANT: The steps in the following table prepare the system disk for management by
the EVMS volume manager. This is only required if you want to have NSS volumes on the
system disk, and is not the default use case. We have included the process in the lab guide to
provide exposure to installing NSS volumes on a single-drive server.
