After installing NetWare, you can make several changes, including
Installing, Uninstalling, and Configuring a Server or Other Products
Changing time synchronization
For more information on changing time synchronization, see Configuring Timesync on Servers
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Network Time Synchronization Administration Guide.
Adding or changing volumes
For information about creating logical or traditional volumes, see Managing NSS Volumes
in the NW 6.5 SP8: NSS File System Administration Guide or Creating and Mounting a Traditional Volume
in the NW6.5 SP8: Traditional File System Administration Guide.
Modifying the Novell® eDirectory™ tree
For information on designing and modifying the Novell eDirectory, see Designing Your Novell eDirectory Network
in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide.
Before changing the server’s configuration, view the current configuration by entering config at the System Console prompt or by viewing and printing the configuration report in Novell Remote Manager.
The config command displays the following information:
Server name, internal network number, and server uptime.
Hardware settings, node (station) addresses, external network number of the cabling scheme, board name, frame type, and communication protocol for each network board.
The server’s eDirectory tree and bindery context.
On some systems, the config command might display information about NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM™) programs. The kind and amount of NLM program information depends on the system.
For more information about using the config command, see CONFIG
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Utilities Reference.
The configuration report in Novell Remote Manager is much more complete and extensive. Printing or saving a copy of this report is a quick and easy method for documenting your server before you make any changes. For information about and instructions for creating this report, see Configuration Report
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Novell Remote Manager Administration Guide.
