NetWare (NCP)
The StorPoint CD emulates both a 5.x NDS server and a NetWare 3.x bindery server.
It also supports NetWare/IP and PureIP. In NetWare 5 environments, the StorPoint
CD can be integrated as any other 5.0 server simultaneously accessed via IPX,
NetWare/IP and PureIP. All protocols are enabled by default.
Installing the StorPoint CD in NetWare NDS
When used as an NDS server, your StorPoint CD must first be installed in the NDS
tree:
• If you have TCP/IP on your network, the most convenient way to carry out the installation is to
use the NetWare wizard available via the StorPoint CD Web interface. See “Using the
Installation Wizard ” on page 23.
• If you do not have TCP/IP, you must use a text editor and edit the configuration file manually.
See “Using a Text Editor ” on page 23.
Notes:
Synchronizing the NDS Tree
Before installing the StorPoint CD in the NDS tree you need to verify that the NDS tree is
synchronized. To do that, load
DSREPAIR.NML on any NetWare server console within the NDS
tree and select
Unattended full repair.
Important!
• When installing the first StorPoint CD into the NDS tree, it is recommended that you use an
account with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree.
• The StorPoint CD will extend the NDS schema with a new attribute called
AXIS:SPcd:rights which will be added to the NCP Server object class. The extension is
needed for storing configuration data and has been approved by Novell.
• If you do not have Supervisor rights to [Root] or if schema extensions are not allowed in your
NDS tree, you can store the access rights in a file on a NetWare file server. However, you
must specify the NDS Rights Storage and NDS Rights File parameters properly. You will
need Supervisor rights to the container where the StorPoint CD is to be installed. After the
NDS installation, you must also create and assign access rights to the directory on the
NetWare file server where the file is stored.
If the NDS tree is not synchronized, do not continue the installation until you have solved the
problem.
