1.3 What’s New or Changed (OES 2018 SP1)

This section describes enhancements to the installation program for Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2018 SP1

Business Continuity Cluster (BCC)

Beginning with OES 2018 SP1, Novell Business Continuity Cluster (BCC) is available as one of the patterns in the OES installation pattern list. This eases the distribution and delivery of BCC for OES customers. However, BCC continues to be a separate product with its own license.

Novell Samba

Beginning with OES 2018 SP1, Novell Samba is deprecated. New installations of OES 2018 SP1 will not include the pattern to install Novell Samba.

If you are upgrading to OES 2018 SP1 from an earlier OES version that includes Novell Samba, the package and configuration will be removed during the upgrade process. It is recommended to install and use Novell CIFS to access the data that was earlier accessed from Samba shares.

The iManager plug-in for Novell Samba is still available post upgrade to manage the DSfW shares.
