Volume Configuration

To conﬁgure NetWare volumes, use the “NetWare Volume Setup” graphical

utility to set the following volume properties:

• Volume Name. Specifies the name NetWare clients use to access the volume. The

first volume is always SYS. Other volumes may have the same name as the HP-

UX directory, or may be different. Names must be from 2 to 15 characters long.

• Type. Specifies whether the volume is Standard (portable to non-HP-UX

systems), Extended (a kernel implementation of the NetWare file system that

exists on an Extended type partition), or CDROM (volume is a CDROM and

cannot be modified by NetWare or HP-UX users).

• Name Spaces. Specifies the client types the volume will support. DOS and UNIX

name spaces are always supported.

• Mount Point. Specifies the path from the UNIX root to the directory where the

volume begins.

• Control Directory. Specifies the location of the volume’s trustee database files

and the desktop database. For Standard volumes, this specifies the location of the

volume’s inodes, the extended file names, and the last mount log. Once modified,

the NetWare inodes are moved to the new control path.

• Attributes. Specifies if the volume is Read and Write or Read Only.

• File Access Control. Determines which users have access to the files and

directories. Can be NetWare (trustee assignments control a NetWare user’s

access), UNIX (HP-UX permissions control a NetWare user’s access), Both

(both NetWare trustee assignments and HP-UX permissions control access),

None (all NetWare users can access the files and directories as if they had

Supervisor rights.).
