NetWare Client Agent Configuration
34 Client Agents Guide
To edit the ASCONFIG.INI file
1.
From a text editor, open the ASCONFIG.INI file located in the client agent
home directory.
2.
Add the following line to the NetWare Agent section of the file, specifying the
IP address that you want the client agent to use:
IPAddress = nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
If a NetWare Agent section does not exist, create one by adding the following
line to the end of the ASCONFIG.INI file:
[NetWare Agent]
3.
Save the file and exit from the editor.
4.
Unload and restart the client agent.Unloading is required for changes to the
ASCONFIG.INI file to take effect. To unload the client agent, use the
NetWare client agent’s Unload & Exit menu option. Alternatively, you can
enter the following command at the server console:
unload nwagent
5.
When the client agent has been unloaded, restart the client agent (that is,
reload the agent) at the server prompt by issuing the following command:
nwagent
A message appears at the server prompt, confirming the use of the IP
address specified in the ASCONFIG.INI file:
IP Address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn from ASCONFIG.INI file will be used.
A similar message is displayed on the client agent runtime message screen:
IP Address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is bound for use by NetWare Push Agent.
The client agent is now ready to service backup and restore jobs using the IP
address specified in the ASCONFIG.INI file.
Back Up Novell Directory Services
To properly back up Novell Directory Services (NDS), you must enter the full
NDS name in the NDS Login name field. For example:
.cn=admin.o=organization_name
When restoring any NetWare sessions, you must supply the full NDS name when
prompted for security information.
