OES Linux DHCP Management Quesiton

Previously, under Netware, I could use the DNS/DHCP console to match ip to machine hostname; however, I'm noticing that I do not have this ability under OES Linux's DHCP management utility. I looked in the leases file on the linux server but to my dismay it only displays the mac address.
What are my options?

Your only option (as far as I am aware--and if I understand you correctly) is to go with OES 2 SP 3, follow TID 7006450, and that is about it. The information is coming from the leases file itself. Unfortunately, you can't get 100% of what you were used to on NetWare on OES. Many things have been ported over, but some things have not.

OES DHCP management

I am working with my first OES Linux DHCP server. I am using the DHCP Java Mgmt console for the configuration. For the Netware DHCP for the other configuration options (i.e. where you can set the settings for DNS, SLP, NDS, etc...) I set those settings at the subnet level. With OES Linux you have a Service level, then the Subnet, then the DHCP pool. I currently set all of these settings at the Service level but it doesn't seem to be working. I look at a client machine do a release/renew and it doesn't the correct stuff. Where should these settings be configured? Should I configure them at the Subnet or the pool level or should the service level be fine?
Thanks for any information.

It doesn't matter where you configure them really, as long as it covers the scope that you want it to. If you want to set them at the service level, then everything gets them. I believe if you set them on a large scope like that, and then configure a more refines scope (such as on a subnet or pool), that the latter will be implemented for the scope it is set for.
It should be working fine. Take a LAN trace, filter on bootp, and watch the DORA (discover offer request ack) and see if the client is getting the options from the dhcp server. Remember that some options, such as slp, will only be given to the client if it is 1) configured on the DHCP server AND 2) the client requests the options in a DHCP INFORM following the DORA. If the client doesn't ask, it wont get them.

Communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager and OES Server

No communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager Console and OES server (status,start,stop)
The screenshot shows the tab "DHCP (OES Linux)" in the DNS / DHCP Manager console
in the bottom of the image it shows the state of the DHCP servers.
allDHCP.JPG
The dhcp service is started on all these servers
You can see that the status is known only for four servers.
The button "start/stop DHCP service" works fine on this servers and
the dhcp service can be canceled and also restarted
But the status of the "dhcp service" is not recognized for all the other DHCP servers
and so we can not start or stop dhcp service on these servers.
All servers were installed at different times (last three years) with OES11 and
are upgraded to OES11SP2 with all patches.
The server keto (DHCP_keto) is a new installation OES11SP2 few days ago.
All OES servers were set up identically from me. LDAP, LUM, DMS, DHCP works fine.
Which service on the OES server is responsible for
communication (status indicator) between the DNS/DHCP Manager and the OES serve?
How the status query is performed by the DNS/DHCP Manager?
How can I test the communication to the server on the client (console)?
Which configurationfiles I should be compare on the server?
Thanks in advance

DHCP - Cannot add text option for VOIP phones in OES Linux

While working through this, I solved the issue, but decided to post this anyway as it may help others to find these sorts of errors.
I'm working on migrating from NetWare 6.5sp8 to OES11sp2. Client has Shoretel VOIP phones. Existing NetWare-based DHCP has no problem. Option 156 has been configured to give out the required text information that Shoretel phones require.
Problem is that I could not get the OES11 DHCP to run with that option. Nor could I migrate the existing option over - the Migration Tool (in OES11) says it successfully migrates DHCP, but I cannot start the dhcpd daemon. Error is that it failed, and in the rc.dhcpd.log file I see an error:
LDAP Line 26: unknown option dhcp.Shoretel_Boot.
LDAP Line 26: unexpected end of file
LDAP: cannot parse dhcpService entry 'cn=newdhcpservice,o=LIBRARY'
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
If I look in the file (created when LDAP reads DHCP config from eDirectory apparently) dhcp-ldap-startup.log I can see the problem entry at line 26:
option Shoretel_Boot "FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,L AYER default-lease-time 259200 ;
This option does NOT show up in the newdhcpservice option when I look at it in ConsoleOne, or DSBROWSE, or DNS/DHCP Management Console.
This option DOES show up in the DNS/DHCPManagement Console if I look at the DHCP (NetWare) tab and look at Other DHCP Options for some of the configured subnets, but it actually has different text from the above, specifically:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER2 TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
Note that it does not have a " character anywhere in the entry. This option is configured as a Global DHCP text option.
Novell TID 7009464 mentions the issue, though not for Option 156. In that TID there is this:
"Situation #2
Migrate a working DHCP server with DHCP options that are of type "Text" to an OES server.
Load the DHCP server service... it fails to load and gives similar errors to the ones listed above."
Under resolution the TID says to delete and recreate the dhcp service object without the text option and it will load. That doesn't work for me as I still get an LDAP error pointing to the Shoretel_Boot unknown option. (I dare not try deleting it from the NetWare DHCP config and risk breaking the client's phone system).
One of the options in the TID to fix this is to re-enter the data using the DNS/DHCP Management Console - but that didn't work.
Here is the answer:
First, the log files are misleading. The error message points to not being able to read the newdhcpservice object entry - but the problem was elsewhere. In fact the problem showed up in the logs even when there were no option 156 entries at all in any object inside the newdhcpservice or the newdhcpservice object itself. The problem existed in the NetWare configuration of the object for one of the dhcp subnets.
Specifically, there was an illegal character in the text entry for option 156 - the # character was in there, like this:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER# 2TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
If you look at the error log entry for syntax error you can see that the option 156 text stopped at the # symbol, and then default-lease-time was appended to the end.
Removing the # symbol got things working.

Viewing Dynamic Leases Under The DNS/DHCP Management Console

My dhcp-server is on oes2 sp3 / sles 10 sp3 and i am trying to set it up for viewing dynamic leases in the DNS/DHCP Management Console.
I am following TID 7006450 and right away i get stuck.
From the TID
1. Launch the DNS/DHCP management console and login to the server
2. Click on the 'DHCP (OES Linux) tab toward the top of the console
3. Find the DHCP Server object at the bottom of the console and select it
4. Toward the top-right hand side of the console select the GENERAL tab and find the section called DHCP SERVER
---- There is no section called DHCP SERVER only Services
5. Click the ADD button and enter the IP address of the DHCP server
NOTE: If doing this step on OES 2 SP 2 the buttons may be greyed out. This is due to the schema not being extended. This option is officially supported on OES 2 SP 3
---- There is no ADD button
6. Click on the SAVE button toward the top, left-hand side of the console (looks like a floppy disk)
---- There is no SAVE button
I have downloaded the latest DNS/DHCP Management Console Version OES2 SP2 october 2009
Is ther a newer version to download

Any error on the failed start that could help troubleshoot it? A coworker
confirmed the TID worked for him so that's a little comforting, though of
course no idea how your two systems differ. A Service Request (SR) with
Novell is always an option to work on this but it'd be useful to know what
your system showed when it wouldn't start dhcpd.
Good luck.

PXE on OES Linux SP2

Trying to get PXE to respond to a client on OES Linux SP2.
Novell-pxydhcp, novell-tftp, and novell-zmgprebootpolicy are all
running. UDP ports 67, 69, 111, 4011, and 18753 are listed in
FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP (and INT_UDP). Firewall has been restarted.
Workstation does not get PXE connection. Previously, this machine did
get a connection to a Netware server running PXE.
Any thoughts on what we're missing?
Thanks.

DNS/DHCP Management Console doesn't start

Folks,
I am running the DNS/DHCP Management Console in an old Windows XP Pro SP2 computer, and it works fine. But when I install it in my XP Pro SP3 computer it refuses to start. It stucks at the welcome screen with the globe animation and doesn't go any further. And there is also no apparent program or process to kill in the Task Manager, and the CPU util is zero. I have to log out and back in again to get rid of the welcome screen.
I am wondering if it may have something to do with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)? I am using the latest version in my SP3 machine, where it doesn't work, and a much older version in my SP2 machine, where it works. I have not upgraded Java in that machine because I am afraid that the Management Console might stop working... If Java is the source of the problem, is it impossible to get it to work with a newer Java?

I wrote a TID on this, but it hasn't shown up yet. It is TID 7016049
As I am still waiting for it to show up on the public site, I will populate the resolution portion of the TID here. Hope it helps:
Despite uninstalling all older versions of Java, a remnant of the old install still exists. The offending file is javaw.exe, but there may also be a java.exe in the same location.
In the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory there may be a javaw.exe and java.exe from a previous installation. Check the properties > details tab of the file to confirm the version. If this javaw.exe is found first then Windows is directed to look in the wrong location in the registry for the Java Runtime Environment key. Once removed the javaw.exe from C:\Program Files\Java\JRE1.8.0_25\bin directory is found, which sends Windows down the correct path to find the necessary key in the registry.
Once the older version of javaw.exe is removed, the JMC should load.
The SysWOW64 directory is for 64-bit machines. If this error is being encountered on a 32 bit machine, then the superfluous javaw.exe must be found and removed. Process Monitor for Windows can be downloaded and utilized to track down the superfluous javaw.exe. As the java.exe is also superfluous, we recommend removing it to (or copy it out to a backup directory until testing is complete).

OES Linux, Print Solutions

Hello all,
I am currently using Netware 6.5 SP5(OES Netware SP2), and wandering what
print solutions are available for the OES Linux platform. Specifically, is
NPDS available on OES Linux? If so is it the primary solution or is there
a different solution?
A direction to documentation would be more helpful. Any assistance is
appreciated.
Regards,
Matt Rigor

Matt,
NDPS isn't really state of the art on NW6.5.
iPrint is, as well on Netware as on OES Linux. Check the manuals.

Moving a NetWare iPrint installation to an OES/Linux cluster

Hi folks,
I have an iPrint installation on my NetWare 6.5 cluster that i want to
move to my OES/Linux cluster. The two clusters are completely
independent at present, and need to remain that way. Is there any way i
can move printers and drivers without recreating them and manually
duplicating the settings?
Thanks,
Paul

Windows XP and OES Linux

We are running a NetWare 5.1, 6.0, 6.5, OES 6.5 and now OES Linux shop. I
have just built and installed the OES Linux server into a new tree until I
can figure it out. Our workstations are all Windows 2000 and XP SP2 with
Novell Client 32 4.91.
Being that I'm new to Linux, how do our users connect to the server? If you
could point me to a tid, that would be great!
Thanks.

I am confused with your comments. If you have a user running Windows XP
with the 4.91 windows client, he will have a login popup. The Login window
will ask for the username and password. If you hit the advanced button, it
will show you the tree, context, and server fields. Currently you will
have your tree, context and server from your previous login populated. If
you want to log into the OES Linux server, you can change the server field
to point to the OES Linux server's IP or server name. There is nothing
different when accessing the NSS volumes on a OES Linux from a windows
workstation.

DNS/DHCP Managment Console- IP Addresses not releasing

Hello,
I have added a new subnet on our network so we can add more wireless devices (iPads, Cellphones, etc. are all now needing IP addresses)
Everything is working fine except that the addresses are not releasing after 3 days. If someone with a Laptop comes into our building with a cell phone or laptop they are picking up an IP address automatically. Then once they leave (and the 3 day lease time expires) DNS/DHCP is not making that address available for another device.
Now we are quickly running out of local IP addresses on this new subnet. How can I get DNS/DHCP management console to hand out previously used expired IP addresses to new devices?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
No we haven't run out yet so that my very well be the case.
We do have two subnets in the same building .30 subnet and .32 subnet
They both work, and any client can pickup an IP on either subnet.
The .30 subnet was the old one and the .32 subnet has just been created. Now all new clients pickup an address on the .32 subnet.
Is there any way to figure out why all the clients want to pull a .32 address now?
Thanks
