The following sources provide information about Novell® Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2.5 (NOWS SBE 2.5):
To check the version of the server, run rpm -q simba. The version number is helpful information to include when posting bugs or service requests.
The server log is located in /var/log/simba/server.log. Be sure to include information from the log when posting bugs or any service requests.
If you install NOWS SBE 2.5 with YaST*, the Web-based tools are no longer supported.
The NOWS SBE 2.5 server allows you to create NCP volumes on Linux* file systems.
For more information about migrating data from a traditional NetWare® server to a NOWS SBE 2.5 Linux server, see TID 3219860.
The pre-configured partitions selected by the install are currently the only supported partitions available. Although you can change file system types to increase swap partition size, new partitions are not supported.
To set up software RAID in RAID1 (mirrored), follow these steps:
Change the booting option to point to boot from md0 “/”
Go to the Installation Settings screen > > to boot.
Select for the first item and change the root device to /dev/md0
After you have performed the installation, but before you begin to configure, remove the CD/DVD and reboot.
For more information, see TID 7000012 and TID 3099959
All user creation and user management for components is performed at the page.
Use the versions of clients that ship with NOWS SBE 2.5 and are available in Desktop Downloads. These clients have been tested and verified to work properly with the server components on the system.
The NOWS SBE 2.5 interface is built by using Simba*, which is an application server similar to Tomcat or JBoss*. However, Simba is designed specifically for system installation and administrative tasks.
Simba files are located in the /var/lib/simba folder.
To stop Simba, use the following command: /etc/init.d/simba stop
To restart Simba, use the following command: /etc/init.d/simba start
The Simba server troubleshooting log is located at /var/log/simba/server.log

When upgrading a NOWS SBE server with Help Desk installed, you will need to reinstall Help Desk once the upgrade has been completed. This will not affect your existing Help Desk database.
If you need to uninstall eDirectory then first you must uninstall iManager first, otherwise your iManager instance will no longer function. Once you uninstall eDirectory, iManager can be installed if still required.
When installing GroupWise and Mailscanner on the same server GroupWise should be installed first. In the event that Mailscanner is installed first you will need to update the SMTP port for GroupWise to ensure the proper flow of outgoing email.
Locate the GroupWise configuration file on the server. This file is located opt/novell/groupwise/agents/share/gwia.cfg.
Within the file update smtpport entry with port number 26 and remove the comment out to ensure the change is read on restart of the agent.
Restart the GroupWise internet agent by entering the command /etc/initd/grpwise restart gwia.gwdom
During the installation of GroupWise there is not an Internet domain address defined within the GroupWise domain. Without this configuration your Help Desk instance will not be able to send out email notifications.
Launch ConsoleOne and click on the [ROOT] of your tree.
From the menu bar go to Tools > GroupWise System Operations > Internet Addressing
Click on the Create button and add your domain address (yourdomain.com) and click Ok.
Restart GroupWise by entering the command /etc/init.d/grpwise restart
The following commands need to be run once the installation of ClamAV has been completed successfully.
At the server you will need to run the following commands
dos2unix /etc/freshclam.conf
dos2unix /etc/clamd.conf
freshclam
Start ClamAV by entering the following command: /etc/init.d/clamd start
When upgrading a NOWS SBE server with TightVNC installed, you will need to reinstall TightVNC once the upgrade has been completed. This will not affect your existing TightVNC configuration.
