3.2 Comparing Script Length Limits for NetWare and Linux

Scripts have different size limits on NetWare and OES. In a mixed-mode cluster, the scripts for NetWare resources that are cluster migrated to OES nodes are restricted to the NetWare script-size limits until the final cluster convert command is issued.

The maximum supported lengths for cluster scripts’ content are as follows:

Script

NetWare 6.5 Resources on NetWare Nodes

NetWare 6.5 Resources on OES 11 or Later Nodes

After the Final Conversion to OES 11 or Later

Load script

924 bytes

924 bytes

3200 bytes

Unload script

924 bytes

924 bytes

3200 bytes

Monitor script

Not supported

Not supported

3200 bytes

In cases where a Linux converted script exceeds the imposed NetWare script size limit, it is best to avoid bringing the resource online on OES nodes until the final cluster convert command has been run.

IMPORTANT:Because the Linux script for GroupWise exceeds the length limit for NetWare scripts, we recommend that you do not online GroupWise resources while running in mixed-mode clusters.
