Chapter One – Using DiscView PRO

5. In the Title field, type a brief description of the

CD-ROM. This makes it easier for users to recognize the

CD-ROM volume they are looking for.

6. You can indicate this volume is to be mounted

automatically every time it is loaded by clicking on the

Auto Mount checkbox. Automated volume mounting can

also be addressed on a fileserver basis in the Fileserver

Configuration dialog.

7. To enable automatic drive locking (NetWare only) click on

the Automatically lock this CD-ROM volume every time it

is mounted checkbox. This prevents the CD from being

accidentally ejected from the drive while in use, possibly

causing read errors and workstation lock-ups. See the CD-

ROM Drive Locking section in Chapter 2 for details.

8. The Allow users to mount this CD-ROM volume feature is

enabled by default. Click on the checkbox to disable it.

This feature allows users to mount the volume when

SmartLaunch requires it.

If the CD-ROM whose configuration is being changed has a

Joliet format, and it is in a drive on a server with Long File

Name support installed, the Enable Long File Name support

for this CD-ROM volume option will not be grayed out. It

will be active, giving you the option of enabling support for

long file names by clicking on the checkbox. If you enable

long file name support, anyone viewing the directory in

which this volume appears will see file and directory names

of up to 64 characters. If the option is not enabled, the long

file names will be truncated to an 8 dot 3 format.

The DiscView Server Components also provide Macintosh

Client support when they encounter CDs with the following

formats: NT: ISO 9660, NetWare: ISO 9660 and HFS format

– the most common for Macintosh CDs. This facility allows

Macintosh users running on Novell networks access to

DiscView-based CD-ROMs that contain Macintosh formatted

files.

This does not mean that the CD-ROM host supports

AppleTalk protocol. However, if AppleTalk is loaded on the

NetWare server, Mac users running AFP can access the CDs

configured for Mac support. Macintosh users running in a

NetWare or NT environment with an IPX/SPX protocol,

using the Macintosh client on the fileserver, can access CDs.

Mac users can access the Macintosh files on the CD-ROM
