Setting up iXOS-JUKEMAN
iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/9778
All views you set up in addition must be explicitly shared. This can be
easily done with the Windows NT Explorer. For example, if you configured
a view which is mapped to drive letter W::
In the Explorer, move the mouse pointer to the drive letter or directory you
wish to share and click the right mouse button. Select [SHARING] from
the pop-up menu. A dialog will pop up in which the drive letter or directory
can be shared to the clients.
The following problems may occur in some cases:
• Sometimes a PC client has to deal with long file names (e. g., if a Rock
Ridge view is mounted — the PC format view automatically converts
the file names to 8.3) and cannot handle it. The solution to this prob-
lem is to rename the disks on the server. This can be done with the
Windows NT Explorer, with a dialog of the administration client (see
“Rename disks” on page 119) or with the command cdadm rename,
described on page 225.
• Some CD software assume the root directory of a disk to be the same
as the root directory of the drive, not taking into account the disk name
as part of the path. As a result an installation may fail, because the
appropriate files cannot be located. If this happens, share the corre-
sponding subdirectory, map it as a network drive on the client PC and
the installation will work.
• To execute programs on the server from the iXOS-JUKEMAN file sys-
tem the disks have to be mapped as a network drive on the server. It is
not possible to start these programs from the drive letters created with
the views set-up.
