ü The second operation is creating an NDS volume object
for each mounted CD-ROM volume.
ü The third is using the NDS account to determine if a
client running DiscView is a manager, or if a client is
permitted to access a CD-ROM volume.
When the Server Components are loaded for the first time, or
if an NDS login account has not been assigned, the Server
Components will attempt to login to the NDS tree using
CN=Guest. If this login attempt fails, the Server Components
will attempt to login using CN=DiscPort. Both attempts are
initiated from the server's NDS context and no passwords are
included. If both login attempts are unsuccessful, the Server
Components will be granted only the access rights equal to
[Public].
Additional information regarding NDS login accounts can be
found in Appendix B in this manual, and in on-line Help.
Cache Tab (NetWare Only)
Click the Cache tab to view and set information about the
Read Cache on the selected fileserver. The Cache Control
feature permits the NLM installer (any supervisor or
equivalent) to restrict the DiscView Server Components to
using a reserved amount of fileserver cache memory when
mounting volumes. Whenever a volume mount is requested,
the DiscView Server Components verify that server cache
buffers will not drop below this reserved number of buffers.
As a DiscView manager, you can change the size of the cache,
if desired. Cache is set individually for each DiscView
fileserver. Use the Performance Slider to change the size of
the cache used by DiscView when reading CD-ROM titles.
Click and hold on the
cache gauge slider
and move in the
desired direction. A
lower number uses
fewer server
resources (cache
RAM) and will result
in slower
performance. A
higher number uses
more server
resources and results
in faster performance.
