1.4.1 Server

By accepting the default partitioning information, the installation overwrites all existing files on the server. Change this configuration if you plan to install NOWS SBE on an existing partition. Verify that the server does not see any partitions or devices that you do not want to be formatted and wiped. If components are installed while connected to a Storage Area Network (SAN), it has the potential to wipe out any partitions and data that it sees.

You also need to make sure that your server is plugged into a network where DHCP is installed.

1.4.2 Installing Two NICs with NOWS SBE

When you install and configure a NOWS SBE server, do not configure the second network interface card (NIC) until you have completed the installation and configured the primary NIC through the Web configuration tool. After the initial Web configuration is complete, you can then use YaST to configure the second NIC.

NOTE: Because you will be routing traffic through the server, be sure to enable IP Forwarding when configuring the second NIC.

1.4.4 Component Install Order

Begin component installation with eDirectory, then install iManager. You need iManager to manage iPrint, iFolder, and Helpdesk, as well as GroupWise.

If you are choosing to install MailScanner and GroupWise, be sure to install in this order:

1. GroupWise

2. MailScanner

1.4.5 Creating a New Directory

novdocx (en) 11 December 2007

Before you create a new eDirectory tree, you should define a naming standard. A consistent naming scheme provides a guideline for network administrators who will add, modify, or move objects within the eDirectory tree. For additional information, see the eDirectory Documentation Web site

(http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/index.html?page=/documentation/edir88/edir88/ data/acavuil.html).

1.4.6 NetWork Backup (Amanda)

This component requires a tape drive to send your backups. For information about supported tape drives, see the Amanda Documentation Web site (http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fomserve/cache/

1.html).

1.4.7 E-Mail and Collaboration (GroupWise)

If you are installing GroupWise and MailScanner, when you install the GroupWise Internet Assistant (GWIA) you are given the opportunity to assign GWIA a different port (the default is 26) so that the two programs do not conflict. Incoming mail from the Internet to the GroupWise system is then accepted by MailScanner on port 25 (SMRP’s default), scanned, and delivered to GWIA, which accepts non-standard mail on port 26.

1.4.8 Helpdesk

You need an e-mail account designated for notifications and workflows for the Helpdesk component. You can use an existing account or create one named support@yourdomain.com or helpdesk@yourdomain.com.

14 On the User Information page, specify the password information for the administrator login.

You have two options:

 Basic setup. Specify a password for the NOWS SBE Administrator. The server root

password is set to be the same.

 Advanced Mode. Click the link labeled Advanced Mode, which allows you to specify a

separate password for the NOWS SBE Administrator (sbsadmin) and for the server admin (root).

The difference between these two passwords is that the NOWS SBE Administrator password enables you to add, remove, and configure components on your NOWS SBE server from the NOWS SBE administration console. The server (root) password is what you use to configure or update your server from the console. If you do not choose to make each password different, then the passwords are the same as the NOWS SBE Administrator password you have chosen. Passwords must be at least five characters long and cannot include any special characters.

15 Click Next to continue with installation.

You are now directed to the Available Software page. This section is optional. You are not required to install any of the components at this time. If you do not install the components, you will have the opportunity to add components from the NOWS SBE administration console later. The components have been grouped together with similar software types for easy location of what you need to install.

16 Click Next, then click Install to proceed to the NOWS SBE administration login.

17 Click the Continue to Administration button.

18 To log in to the administration page, specify the username of the administrator and the

password you chose during the installation, then click Login.

Getting Started 19
