Do you currently have a CentOS box running KVM?
I have used centos with KVM,brctrl etc.
What does your Netware server currently do?
Just just pure and simple file storage. The worst part of it is The client has to be a DOS6.22 with some custom ISA base hardware.
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.
Indeed. with 802.3 frame etc :)
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
Now, How to access Samba with Dos 6.22? :p
One main thought that first came to my mind is about the NIC Driver under KVM I do understand that the Centos5 can present it as different types of NIC (Intel, Realtek etc.)
I am investigating it further.
Hopefully, you already have significant CentOS experience.
Last 6 years or so I have worked only Fedora/Centos/RHEL. Since then I have tried avoid taking calls windows etc.
But this call I took because I have significant experience in netware too about 10 years 2.2 to 4.10 with NDS etc
The broad wording of your request might just be language barrier.
I realised that.
I will experiment further share my experience sometime later.
