NetWare Loadable Modules

NetWare Loadable Modules

Once you install the NetWare-related packages on UnixWare, you will be able to use NetWare services to the extent that support is configured on the NetWare server.

Without the UnixWare NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) installed on NetWare, you can:

use NetWare volumes from UnixWare in the DOS access mode
use NetWare printers from UnixWare
attach UnixWare printers to NetWare print queues
log in to both bindery and NDS environments using the UnixWare scoadmin(1M) utility or the nwlogin(1nuc) command
browse NDS and change your NDS context (using nwcx(1nuc))

With the UnixWare NLMs installed on NetWare you can additionally:

use NetWare volumes from UnixWare in the NetWare and UNIX access modes
backup UnixWare file systems from NetWare using the SBACKUP or other Storage Management System-compliant backup engine
use the NetWare console remotely from UnixWare (using the XCONSOLE NLM)
get better performance from DOS mode volumes
