You use the Novell Client for Linux to log in to the remote server. This mounts the remote NSS volume on the DST server. If there are multiple NSS volumes on the remote server, you need to log in only one time. Ensure that the login user name is assigned as a trustee and given the Supervisor right for each of those volumes. You can log in to multiple remote servers by using the same user name or a different user name for each server.
Log in to the DST server as the root user, then open a terminal console.
Open the Novell Client for Linux by entering
nwlogin
Log in to the remote server by providing the following information in response to the prompts:
|
Parameter |
Action |
Sample Value |
|---|---|---|
|
Tree |
Enter the tree name. |
EAST_TREE |
|
Server |
Enter the IP address or hostname of the remote server. If the remote volume is on a shared pool, enter the IP address of the pool cluster resource. This can create an oddly named file in the mount point that is a shortened version of the cluster virtual NCP servername. |
10.10.10.41 server41 |
|
User Name |
Enter the eDirectory user name of a user that is a file system trustee of the remote volume with the Supervisor right. |
dstuser |
|
Context |
Enter the context of the specified login user. |
users.boston.novell |
|
Password |
Enter the password of the specified login user. |

On successful login, the response is:
Logged in
After a successful login, verify that the volume was successfully mounted by navigating to the default mount location for the volume.
The remote NSS volume is mounted by default on the DST server at
/var/opt/novell/nclmnt/.Servers/<remote_servername>/<remote_volumename>
For example:
/var/opt/novell/nclmnt/.Servers/SERVER41/DSTVOL1
Do one of the following:
Remote NetWare Server: If the volume contains data, collect the trustee and file system access settings so that you can reset them later from the merged view of the DST shadow volume. Continue with Section C.5, Creating a Shadow Volume with a Remote Secondary NSS Volume.
Remote Linux Server: If the remote NSS volume is on an OES 1 Linux or OES 2 Linux server, continue with Section C.4, Copying a Remote Linux NSS Volume’s Trustee Database to the Primary NSS Volume.
