Maintaining the NetWare Server

Managing the Server

Prerequisites

• Access to the server console

• Superuser permission to shut down a NetWare server

Procedure

1 Start the NetWare transport using the command:

startnps

Start NetWare services using the command:

startnw

In order to start the NetWare server process, the IPX protocol stack must be

active.

There are several ways to check at the HP-UX server console command line

whether the stack is active:

• Type ps -ef | grep IPX. If the transport is UP , it should display the two stack

daemons npsd (IPX Protocol Stack Daemon) and sapd (IPX Sap Daemon).

• Type ipxinfo. A Resource temporarily unavailable message may appear. This

indicates that the stack is not active.

• Type nwsapinfo or statnps. nwsapinfo may display an “unable to attach to

shared memory” message if the transport is down.

• statnps -i will display UP or DOWN to indicate the status of the transport.

To start the stack again, type startnps at the command line.
