At the File System Creation Operations page, specify the type of volume you want to create, and click the creation operation you want to perform. Based on your choice, you will see different options for proceeding with the partition creation process.
It's easier to work with NSS partitions through iManager because all the tools for pool and volume management are there as well. For more information on traditional NetWare volumes, see the NetWare 6. A storage pool is a specific amount of space you obtain from one or more storage devices in your server. NetWare 6. They can be created to span one or multiple partitions on the hardware side, and can be divided into one or multiple logical volumes on the user side.
After a pool is created, you can add storage devices to your server and then expand the pool to include the space available on the new storage device. To create a new storage pool, complete the following steps:. Launch iManager, open the Storage link, and select Pools in the left navigation frame. At the Pool Management page, specify the server with which you want to work. This will bring up the storage pool information for that server, as shown in Figure 8. Specify the name of the storage pool and click Next.
Make sure to follow the naming conventions as outlined. At the Select Device and Space page, choose the storage device s from which the new storage pool will get its space, and specify the amount of space for each device, and then click Finish.
Check Activate on Creation if you want the pool to be available as soon as it is created. Once created, you will be returned to the Pool Management page, from which you can perform various configuration tasks on storage pools and view the characteristics of pools that have been created.
Configuration options include the following:. Delete: Lets you delete an existing storage pool. Activate: Makes a pool, and all volumes associated with that pool, available for use. Deactivate: Removes a pool, and all volumes associated with that pool, from service. Users cannot access data on an inactive pool.
This might be done so you can perform maintenance on the pool or its associated volumes. Snapshot: Creates a point-in-time view of an active storage pool. This is very helpful for backing up pool data because your backup application can back up the snapshot so you do not have to worry about open file issues and other snags that can make backing up network data so difficult. A pool snapshot will be visible from the Pools view in iManager as a separate storage pool.
Update eDirectory: If you have modified or renamed a storage pool, use this option to update the eDirectory pool object with the new information and characteristics. Conditional Deleted Volumes: If you have deleted volumes from a storage pool, you can use this option to salvage or purge those deleted volumes.
Conditional Offline: If you select a pool snapshot, this option is available to take the selected snapshot offline. These options give you granular control over the management and performance of the storage pools on your NetWare server. Once a storage pool has been created, you are ready for NSS logical volumes.
NSS volumes can be set to a specific size or set to grow dynamically within the storage pool according to the amount of storage space that is needed over time. When set to grow dynamically, NSS volumes can automatically take advantage of new storage devices once their space is added to their associated storage pool. After you've created the volume, you must mount it before network users can access it. To create and mount a new NSS volume, complete the following steps:.
Launch iManager, open the Storage link, and select Volumes in the left navigation frame. At the Volume Management page, specify the server with which you want to work. This will bring up the volume information for that server, as shown in Figure 8. Specify the name of the volume and click Next. Storage pool: Check the box next to the storage pool from which the volume will be created.
You can also click the New Pool button to create a new storage pool for this volume. Doing this will drop you into step 4 of the storage pool creation process, discussed previously. Allow Volume Quota to Grow to Pool Size: If you don't want to specify a volume quota, check this box to let the volume grow dynamically to fit the available pool space. At the Attribute Information page, make your desired selections and click Finish.
Backup: This option marks the volume data for backup, similar to setting the Archive bit on a file or directory. Compression: Turns data compression on for this volume. Compression will use volume space much more efficiently at the cost of read performance. If volume data is not used constantly, compression can be a good idea. Data shredding : Instructs NetWare to overwrite deleted data with random characters to prevent recovery with disk reader software.
Microsoft Networks provides remote access to files as well as access to remote printers and plotters. AppleTalk file and printer sharing supports connections from Macintosh clients to systems running Windows Server and Windows Server. Remote file systems are implemented by a collection of software components.
The number and complexity of the software components required varies based on the design and complexity of the remote file system. Software on the client system provides remote file and resource access. This client software functions as a "network redirector" forwarding local calls for file operations to some remote server. This network redirector makes the remote resources appear as if they are local. Software on the server system implements the remote file server operations that access local file storage or resources on the server.
Requests are received from client network redirectors that are processed on the file server, and the responses are sent back to the client. Implementing these components makes your job easier and provides your users with more reliable network access. Welcome to anytime, anywhere advanced administration via NetWare 6. As a network administrator, it's your responsibility to focus on the NetWare 6 network to ensure that it stays fine-tuned and in peak condition.
Now it's time to supercharge the network. This discussion tackles Remote Manager, iManager, and iMonitor. NSS is the answer. NSS is a file storage system that enables you to configure, mount, and maintain large volumes.
We'll take a look at those services as well as some strategies and procedures for using them. NetWare 6 has broken down the walls of the IT server room. As a result, you're no longer trapped in the dungeon of server console administration. In fact, NetWare 6 includes three very powerful management utilities that enable you to securely administer your network anytime, anywhere:.
NetWare 6 includes a prerelease version of iManager. Although iManage was the name of the product prior to Service Pack 1, the term iManager is used in both the official Novell courseware and on the certification exam.
In this lesson, we'll learn how to use these three anytime, anywhere administration tools to break the shackles of server-based management. Now let's start with the most robust of the three: Remote Manager. I would like to receive exclusive offers and hear about products from InformIT and its family of brands.
