Software Installation
Novell NetWare
Software Installation
The installation process varies depending on whether you are
installing under NetWare Connect™, NIAS/MPR, or a third-party
product. In any event, you must collect the following information and
perform the following steps before beginning the install.
Note: It is not necessary to down the server during installation. In
fact, it is possible to switch VS1000 units in and out on the fly:
for more information, see “Hot Swapping” in the
Troubleshooting section.
Before You Begin
1.
Install the VS1000/VS1100 hardware, as described in the
Installing the Hardware section.
2.
Verify that the VS1000/VS1100 units pass the power-on
diagnostics.
3.
Install NetWare Connect, MPR, or third-party software, if needed.
Note: You must have NetWare Connect, MPR, or a third-party
product installed before proceeding. If such a product is not
already installed, do so before continuing. Instructions for
installing NetWare Connect and/or MPR are found in the
Novell system administrator’s documentation.
4.
Use a text editor or
install.nlm
to determine the device name of the
Ethernet network board (NIC) installed in your Novell server, and
write it down:
Extracting the Files
VS-Link for Novell is distributed as a zipped file (
6612.zip
). Before you
can install the software, you must extract the files. Follow these steps:
1.
Locate
6612.zip
on the installation media, or download it from the
Comtrol ftp site.
2.
On a DOS or Windows client system
, use a utility such as PKUNZIP
or WinZip to extract 6612.zip to a temporary directory.
3.
Login to the Novell server, and copy all VS-Link files to the
system
directory. The
system
directory is found on the
sys
volume.
4.
If you are installing under NetWare Connect, continue with the
instructions that begin on the following page. If you are installing
under MPR, jump to the instructions under NIAS/MPR, later in
this section.
