Accessing NetWare volumes from UnixWare

Configuring a volume in NetWare mode

To configure a NetWare volume to support the NetWare mode only:

  1. Make sure the volume has the NFS name space configured. To do this, enter:

    VOLUMES

    at the NetWare server console prompt. The system displays a list of mounted server volumes and the name space supported, as in this example for the server MUTT:

    MUTT:VOLUMES
    Mounted Volumes	Name Spaces
    SYS	DOS
    DOC	DOS, NFS
    MAC	DOS, MAC, NFS
    MUTT:
    

  2. If the NFS name space is not added to a volume that you want to support the NetWare mode, add it using the ADD NAME SPACE NetWare console command. A typical command looks like this:

    ADD NAME SPACE NFS TO VOLUME SYS

    The NFS.NAM module (included with UnixWare) must be present and accessible in order to add the NFS name space to a volume.

  3. Make sure that neither the volume's name nor the keyword ``all'' appear on the load nuc line in the file UNISTART.NCF.

    To do this, log in to the server from a NetWare workstation as administrator and edit the file SYS:SYSTEM\UNISTART.NCF using your favorite editor or a NetWare utility such as FILER. Look for the line containing the LOAD NUC command.

    If the LOAD NUC line contains the volume's name, simply remove it from the line, making sure to leave all other volume names on the line intact.

    If the LOAD NUC line contains the keyword ``ALL'', remove the all keyword from the line and add the names of all volumes that you want to support in UNIX mode.

    As an example of the latter case, suppose that a server has three volumes, as in Step 1.

    Then, let's say you examine the UNISTART.NCF file, and find the following line:

    LOAD NUC ALL

    which loads UNIX mode support for both the DOC and MAC volumes (it has no effect on the SYS volume, since NFS name space support is not configured for that volume).

    If you wanted to support the MAC volume in NetWare mode instead of UNIX mode, you would change the line to read as follows:

    LOAD NUC DOC

  4. Configure the name mapping files as explained under ``Preparing NetWare mode name mapping files''.

  5. Enter:

    UNISTART

    at the NetWare system console to start NUC.NLM and initialize volumes (if NUC.NLM is already running, enter UNISTOP first and then enter UNISTART to reinitialize the access modes for all volumes).
