Base Installation
Before you begin, you will need the following items:
1. The File System Factory™ is distribution package. This is a single EXE that
may be downloaded from the web site.
2. A license file, LICENSE.DAT, is also required for the specific tree into which
you intend to install.
Running the distribution package executable will guide you through the entire installation
and initial configuration of the product. The first step of the installation allows the option
to view Installation Best Practices. It also has a Check for updates option which is
strongly recommended.
.
If you have completed this step, you are now running File System Factory™.
Creating a Policy
Note: There is a computer-based video that describes the policy creation and assignment
process in the \factory\videos subdirectory on the Engine server.
The following details the creation and association of a File System Factory™ Policy:
1. Attach to the NetWare Remote Manager on the server running the Engine using a
browser. If you are unsure of how to do this, see section 12 of this document, which
describes the management interface and how to attach to it.
2. At the bottom of the page you will see an entry for File System Factory™. Click on
the “Manage” menu link
3. Click on Policy Administration menu link.
4. Select a container into which you have Create rights to hold a Policy object. After
being created, a given Policy may be applied to any container, so the location of the
object in the tree is not very important.
5. Type in the name for a new Policy and click the “Create Policy” button. This will
create the new Policy.
6. When the new Policy is displayed on the screen, click the Policy name. This will
result in the display of the Policy configuration menu. You may define policy
management attributes for users or groups here. We will configure for users.
7. Click on the “User Paths” menu link.
8. Enter the volume and path information for one or more targets. This identifies where
the user home directories will be stored. The paths that you enter here must exist.
9. Click on the “User Properties” menu link.
10. Select or enter the given criteria:
o
Algorithm: Select the distribution algorithm that you would like to use.
o
Quota: Enter the number of megabytes that you would like to be applied to
each home directory as a quota.
