NetWare Configuration 4-7
4.1.7 Installing the EcoLAN 3000E on Multiple File Servers
To install the EcoLAN 3000E on more than one file server, perform the procedures
described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each file server. You must use the same
name and password for the print server (or no password) on all file servers. You set the
password for the EcoLAN 3000E using the MAP program (refer to 4.3 Configuring
the EcoLAN 3000E in NetWare Directory Services ). If you use a password, specify it
on each file server using the Change Password option on the Print Server
Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.
When the EcoLAN 3000E comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the
file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks
propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded
search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file servers beyond this range,
or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers
in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to
operate may be entered into the Print Server Configuration of a "primary" file server.
The primary file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks
propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the
print server locates the primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the
automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers
listed (and to no others).
4.1.8 Primary File Server
To use the primary file server option, use the following procedure on a file server
close to the printer:
1. List the file servers to be serviced by the primary file server by selecting File
Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Configuration Menu.
2. Press the Insert key to display the Available File Servers list.
3. Select the name if each file server to be serviced and press ENTER to add it to the
File Servers To Be Serviced list.
4. When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.
5. Install the EcoLAN 3000E on each of the primary file servers.
