Novell iManager 2.7.7 for Linux is required for managing eDirectory users. It can also be used to manage the Novell Storage Services pools and volumes, Novell Cluster Services for Linux clusters and cluster resources, Novell CIFS, Novell Samba, and Linux User Management.
It is not necessary to install iManager on every server, but it must be installed somewhere in the same eDirectory tree. For information about installing and using Novell iManager, see the NetIQ® iManager Administration Guide.
You use the Storage plug-in for Novell iManager to share devices and to create and manage NSS pools and volumes. For information, see Storage Plug-In Quick Reference
in the OES 11 SP3: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux. You can alternatively use NSSMU to manage NSS pools and volumes.
You use the Clusters plug-in for Novell iManager to manage the DST pool cluster resource, and to modify the resource load script, unload script, and monitor script. For information, see Configuring and Managing Cluster Resources
in the OES 11 SP3: Novell Cluster Services for Linux Administration Guide.
