Managing the NetWare Directory Services Tree
Creating and Managing Directory Services Partitions
installed?
• Which server is Single Reference, which is Primary, and which servers are
Secondary?
• How are the replicas set up? How many are there? On which servers do they
exist? Which replicas are master? Read/write? Read-only? Subordinate?
• How are your partitions set up? Which partitions are the parents? Which
partitions are the children?
After all of your partitions and replicas are set up, you can view your data
and make a note of it. To do this, see “Viewing a List of Partitions Stored on
a NetWare Server” in this chapter or “Viewing a List of Replicas in a
Partition” or “Viewing a List of Partitions in a Directory Tree” in this
chapter.
Make a note every time changes are made to the servers, partitions, or
replicas. That way, if disaster occurs to your NDS tree, you or another
system administrator can easily check the server configurations.
For information on how to restore NDS in case of failure, see “Backing Up
and Restoring NetWare Directory Services™” in Chapter 7.
Restricting Access to Partition Manager
As administrator, you may want to limit which users in your network can
access the Partition Manager that can be launched from NetWare
Administrator.
There are two ways you can limit access to Partition Manager:
• Restrict rights to NWPAR.DLL (found in SYS:PUBLIC) by giving Read and File
Scan rights only to those who you want to have access to Partition Manager.
• Remove NWPAR.DLL from SYS:PUBLIC and place it in your path or in a
directory where you have a search drive mapped.
This allows only you to see Partition Manager under the “Tools” menu in
System Administrator.
