Setup for NetWare (NCP)
The StorPoint NAS emulates both a NetWare 3.x bindery server and a 4.x NDS server. It also
supports NetWare/IP.
NetWare Bindery Mode
If used as a bindery server, no specific installation is required prior to using and accessing your
StorPoint NAS. However, it is recommended that you specify the authentication server.
Installing the StorPoint NAS in NetWare NDS
When used as an NDS server, your StorPoint NAS must first be installed in the NDS tree:
• If you have TCP/IP on your network, the most convenient way to carry out the installation is to
use the NetWare wizard available via the StorPoint NAS Web interface.
• If you do not have TCP/IP, you must use a text editor and edit the configuration file manually.
Notes:
Synchronizing the NDS Tree
Before installing the StorPoint NAS in the NDS tree you need to verify that the NDS tree is
synchronized. To do that, load
DSREPAIR
on the server in the NDS tree and select
Unattended
full repair
.
Important!
• When installing the first StorPoint NAS into the NDS tree, it is recommended that you use
an account with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree. This means that the user specified
in the
NDS Admin Name
parameter must have Supervisor access rights.
• The StorPoint NAS will extend the NDS Schema with a new attribute called
AXIS:SPcd:rights which will be added to the NDS Server object class. The extension is
needed for storing configuration data and has been approved by Novell.
• If you do not have Supervisor rights to [Root] or if schema extensions are not allowed in your
NDS tree, you can store the access rights in a file on a Novell file server. However, you must
specify the
NDS Rights Storage
and
NDS Rights File
parameters properly. You will need
Admin rights to the Organizational Unit (OU). After the NDS installation, you must also
create and assign access rights to the directory on the Novell file server where the file is stored.
If the NDS tree is not synchronized, do not continue the installation until you have solved the
problem.
