Installing an OS/2 workstation and starting NetWare administrator

If you want to use the NetWare Administrator graphical utility to set up your Directory tree, follow these instructions to install the NetWare Requester on an OS/2 workstation.

The following list described the prerequisites:

• A workstation cabled to the network and running OS/2 2.x and Microsoft Windows or WIN-OS/2

• At least one NetWare Services server installed

• The WSOS2_1, WSOS2_2,and WSOS2_3, OSUTIL_1, OS2DOC_X, VLMBOOT, and WSDRV_1 diskettes

1. Start the OS/2 workstation and open an OS/2 full screen or window.

2. Insert the WSOS2_1 diskette into your workstation's disk drive.

3. Change to the drive where you inserted the diskette and type

   INSTALL
   

4. Select Requester on client from the Installation menu.

5. Follow the online help and the screen prompts to finish installing the Requester.

   See NetWare Client for OS/2 User Guide if you need more information.

   Because this workstation is being installed to get you started with the network setup, you can do a standard installation with the default settings and configure other options later.

   On the drive you booted OS/2 from, a directory called NETWARE is created for the Requester files during installation.

6. Install VLM Boot.

   For instructions, see Chapter 3 of NetWare Client for OS/2 User Guide.

7. Exit the VLM Boot installation.

8. Remove the diskette from the drive; then select the OS/2 Shutdown feature and reboot the workstation.

9. After your workstation reboots, launch NetWare VLM Boot by choosing the ``VLMBOOT'' icon.

10. From network drive F:, use the LOGIN command to log in to the network as ``ADMIN''.

    The LOGIN command must include your context. Depending on the Directory tree structure you set up for the server during installation, use the name typing sequence of Common Name, Organizational Unit, Organization, and Country.

    For example, if you installed this server in an Organization called ``ABC_Inc.'', with no Organizational Unit or Country defined in the Directory tree, you would type

    LOGIN .ADMIN.ABC_INC
    

    For more information on the LOGIN syntax and options, see ``LOGIN''.

11. Enter a password if prompted; then press <Enter>.

12. Map the next network drive to the PUBLIC directory of volume SYS: by typing

    MAP N SYS:PUBLIC
    

13. Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory.

    For example, if you mapped network drive Z:, you would type

    Z:
    

14. Start Windows or WIN-OS/2.

15. Choose the NetWare program group or, if you prefer, choose another program group you want to start NetWare Administrator from.

16. From the Program Manager File menu, choose New.

17. Select ``Program Item'' and choose OK.

18. Enter ``NWADMIN'' in the ``Description'' field and press <Tab>.

19. Choose ``BROWSE''.

20. From the ``Drives'' drop-down list, select the drive that points to SYS:PUBLIC.

21. From the list under ``File Name'', select NWADMIN.EXE and choose OK.

    The path to the executable file is placed in the ``Command Line'' text box.

22. Again choose OK, and then choose ``Yes''.

    NetWare Administrator is created as a program item icon in the group you selected.

    You can now use NetWare Administrator to complete your network setup.

23. To start NetWare Administrator, choose the ``NWADMIN'' icon.

24. Before exiting Windows, from the Options menu, select Save Settings on Exit.
