Maintaining the NetWare Server
Managing NetWare Volumes
NOTE: When changing CD-ROM disks, ensure that you have followed the proper HP-UX
rules for unmounting and remounting a disk. (See “mount” in the Command
Reference for more information.)
NFS-Mounted Volumes
An NFS-mounted volume gives you access to NFS file systems.
To mount a NetWare Services volume (B) using NFS, a user on the NetWare
server (B) cannot write to the base volume (A) unless
• NFS is set up so that nwroot on the NetWare server (B) can write to the base
directory on the original server (A), or
• hybrid_setuid_enabled is set to ON (see “Setting Up a Hybrid User” in chapter
3). This allows hybrid users on the NetWare server (B) to write to files or
directories in the base volume (A) so that it appears that a hybrid user is accessing
the base volume (A) and not the NetWare server which runs as nwroot.
Interdependencies between Partitions and NetWare Volumes
HP-UX is a hierarchical file system; as with NetWare the top of the tree is
called the root node and labeled as /. A file system is mounted at a particular
NetWare® 4.1/9000 directory at or below root and appears as directories to
the users.
NetWare uses a modified hierarchical file system, with multiple root nodes
called volumes. Each volume has its own tree structure, and users must
switch volumes to access the volume’s resources. Figure 7-1 illustrates the
topological differences between the NetWare and HP-UX file systems.
For security reasons, files that control operation of theHP-UX system should
not be included in a NetWare volume.
