4.4 Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP1

Business Continuity Clustering 2.0 supports OES 11 SP1 with the latest patches applied. The same OES version and patches must be installed and running on each node in every peer cluster that will be part of the business continuity cluster. Apply the latest OES 11 SP1 maintenance patches on all nodes in every peer cluster before you install or upgrade BCC on any of the nodes.

To download OES 11 SP1, go to Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP1 and download the ISO files. Maintenance patches are available through the OES 11 SP1 patch channel and the SLES 11 SP2 patch channel.

See the OES 11 SP1: Installation Guide for information on installing, configuring, and updating (patching) OES 11 SP1. For OES 11 SP1 system requirements, see Preparing to Install OES 11 SP1 in the OES 11 SP1: Installation Guide.

If you are upgrading an existing business continuity cluster to BCC 2.0, you must upgrade the Identity Manager servers in the BCC before you upgrade the peer clusters. See the following resources for upgrade requirements:
