Do you currently have a CentOS box running KVM? If no, this is your first step. Since a virtual server can run multiple virtual machines, it is only useful if you intend to run multiple virtual machines. What does your Netware server currently do? If it does more than file and print services, you will have to determine how you would replace those other services. Netware 3 defaulted to using the IPX protocol for sharing file and print services. Are you still using IPX? If so, you are looking at a significant network reconfiguration. Netware 3 could integrate with a variety of client OS's; Unix, DOS, OS/2 and MS windows. What method is your server using to provide services? There might be lots of changes to client setup and software, but look at Samba. It can be setup with a workgroup for file and print services that might be sufficiently similar to how you are currently working. The differences between a physical CentOS server with Samba and a virtualized CentOS server running Samba are minimal and don't directly effect Samba configuration. There might not be a simple document or a series of simple documents to point you at. It might be easier to setup a new network with the new server and a few clients to work out the concepts and any issues you're going to run into. Once you have everything working well on your new network, do a last copy of current data and migrate all your workstations. I hope I'm mentioning use cases that don't apply. Hopefully, you already have significant CentOS experience. Hopefully, this might be a simple file and print server migration for MS Windows clients. The broad wording of your request might just be language barrier. _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
