NetWare Directory Services ). When configured under NDS, the Network Interface Board
will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.
Note: If the Network Interface Board is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery
Services mode is not running, the Network Interface Board can not find its file servers,
and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.
4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context
Before installing the Network Interface Board on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under
Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be
preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Network Interface Board must be installed in the
Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following
steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context:
1.
Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install
2.
Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.
3.
Select NCF Files Options from the menu.
4.
Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu.
5.
Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG
Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the file server context. Use your own file server
context in place of =0U=ENG.
6. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you
entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The
definition in the file takes effect when the server is shut down and then
restarted.
4.2.2 Configure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE
Once you confirm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to
configure the Network Interface Board.
1.
Log into the network as ADMIN.
2.
Type PCONSOLE and press the ENTER key.
