Novell Distributed File Services is not supported for NSS on OES 1 servers. Thus, there are no existing DFS services installed on OES 1. After upgrading the OES server to OES 2 or later, the DFS capability is available when NSS is installed.
If NSS is installed on an OES 11 SP3 server, the DFS capability is added automatically as part of the NSS services upgrade.
If NSS is not installed on the OES 11 SP3 server, you must install NSS on the OES 11 SP3 server after the upgrade by using the Software Management option in YaST.
Ensure that the OES 11 SP3 server meets the requirements as specified in Section 3.1, Requirements for OES 11 SP3 Services before you add the server as a replica site or create junctions on its NSS volumes.
IMPORTANT:Verify that the /var/opt/novell/dfs directory was created during the upgrade process. If the directory does not exist, create the directory as the root user, and set its POSIX permissions to mode 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
