Accessing NetWare volumes from UnixWare

Configuring a volume in DOS mode

When accessing a NetWare volume, the NUC looks to see which name spaces the volume supports. It first looks for the NFS (UNIX) name space, and uses it if it finds it. If NFS is not present, however, the NUC will use the DOS name space (the default name space for NetWare volumes). Other name space support may be added on the volume, but the UnixWare NUC does not use them and ignores them.

To configure a NetWare volume to be accessible to UnixWare users in DOS mode only, you need to remove the NFS name space (if it exists) from the volume, as shown in the procedure below. This procedure uses the VREPAIR NetWare utility to remove the NFS name space from a NetWare volume.

NOTE: Be sure that no other NetWare users depend on the NFS name space (or any other name space) before you remove the name space from the volume. Any information kept privately by the name space module will be lost once the name space is removed.

Carry out the following steps:

Get access to the NetWare console. You can do this directly on the dedicated NetWare console, or from UnixWare using the XCONSOLE application. See ``Using the NetWare console from UnixWare'' for more information on using XCONSOLE.
Determine the name spaces loaded for the server's volumes. To do this, enter:

VOLUMES
at the NetWare server console prompt. The system displays a list of mounted server volumes and the name spaces supported, as in this example:
```
Mounted Volumes	Name Spaces
SYS	DOS
DOC	DOS, NFS
MAC	DOS, MAC, NFS
```
If you wanted, for example, to make the DOC volume accessible only in DOS mode, you would need to remove the NFS name space from the volume.
If you wanted to make the MAC volume accessible to UnixWare users only in DOS mode, you would only need to remove the NFS name space from the MAC volume, not the MAC name space. This is because the NUC software on UnixWare ignores all name spaces except NFS and DOS.
Use the VREPAIR NetWare utility to remove the NFS name space from any volumes that you want to be accessible only in DOS mode.
To load the VREPAIR utility, enter:

LOAD VREPAIR volume-name
at the NetWare console prompt, where volume-name is the name of the volume from which you want to remove the NFS name space.
Choose the Remove Name Space Support from the Volume option, and then select the NFS name space to delete it.
The VREPAIR utility has a number of configuration options and should be used with care.
