DiscView PRO User Guide
x
For common management, DiscView PRO allows you to per-
form the following types of operations on your CD-ROM and
DVD-ROM devices (references to CD-ROM devices in this
manual apply also to DVD-ROM devices):
1. Configure the CD-ROM as a network volume or share
(from now on, we will use the term volumes to describe
both NetWare volumes and NT shares).
2. Mount and dismount the CD-ROM to bring it on-line or
off-line, respectively (NetWare only).
3. Set security and access control for DiscView hosts.
4. Reconnect hosts to different servers.
5. Monitor the statistics for specific CD-ROMs.
6. Analyze the SCSI bus and any errors.
7. Lock and unlock CD-ROM drives so users can’t acciden-
tally eject discs (NetWare only).
8. View the users who currently have open files on a particu-
lar CD-ROM (NetWare only).
9. View your CD-ROM library showing the CD-ROMs on
your network.
For your users, DiscView PRO is optional. Once your
CD-ROMs are published, or mounted, network users do not
have to use DiscView PRO. Since the CD-ROMs are presented
as network volumes or subdirectories, your network users
simply map a DOS drive letter to the CD-ROMs, and then
access the CD-ROM files in the same way they would access a
