NOTE: For information on exiting the installation, refer to ``Exiting the installation''.

Configuring the server

To install the user license and configure server and volume information, complete these steps:

  1. From the Software Component Selection Menu, select ``NetWare Services''.

    A menu appears.


    NOTE: If you prefer, you can install the server license at another time. In this case, your server defaults to a two-user system. For information on adding licenses after installation, refer to ``Adding and deleting licenses''.

  2. Insert your Server Connection License diskette into the appropriate drive.

  3. Select ``Install NetWare user license''.

    You can add another license diskette or continue the installation. After the licenses are installed, the License Menu reappears.

  4. Select ``Continue installation'' or ''Install another license''.

    A menu appears.

  5. Enter the server name.

    This is the name by which the server is known on the NetWare network. It must be from 2 to 47 characters long and can include alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. The default is the name of the UnixWare system on which the NetWare Services software is installed.

  6. Enter your internal IPX address.

    This is the internal network number for this NetWare server. It must be expressed in hexadecimal notation (0-9, A-F) and is limited to eight digits. It must not conflict with the external network number (which you can view using the NetWare Setup icon in the Networking folder) and must be unique within all interconnected networks. The default is determined by a random-number generator.

  7. Select Yes or No to indicate whether you want to start NetWare Services during the UnixWare boot process.

    Select Yes if you want the server to start automatically when you start UnixWare. Select No if you prefer to start the server yourself. The default is Yes.

  8. Press <F10> to save your changes and continue with the installation.

    A menu appears.

    Use the following information to make your selections:

  9. Enter the mount point path.


    NOTE: If mount point is specified on the root file system, it is important that users not fill up the volume (and hence fill up the root file system under UNIX) or UNIX will not be able to run.

  10. Enter the path to the control directory.

  11. Specify Name spaces.

  12. Press <F10> to save and continue.
If you chose to install the Client Kit, continue with the instructions in ``Installing the client kit''. If you chose to install only NetWare Services, go to ``Completing the installation''.

Installing the client kit

To install the Client Kit, complete these steps:

  1. From the Software Components Selections menu, select ''NetWare Services Client Kit''.

    The Client Kit Options menu appears.

  2. Enter the name of the operating system(s) for which you want disk images made for NetWare Clients.

    Use the following information to help make your selection.

    The actual diskettes are made when you use the scoadmin NetWare Client Disks utility. For information on using this application, refer to ``Making client diskettes''.

  3. Enter the path to the location where you want the disk images stored.

    The disk images require 16MB of disk space.

  4. Press <F10> to save and continue.

Completing the installation

You must shut down your system to complete the installation. Enter the following commands to do this:

cd /
shutdown -y -g0 -i6

Installation is complete but NetWare Directory Services still must be installed. See ``Installing NetWare Directory Services'' for details.

For information on removing NetWare Services, refer to ``Removing NetWare Services''.
