10.3 Mounting NCP Volumes

After creating an NCP volume, you must mount it to make it accessible to users via the Novell Client. Any NCP volume that has been dismounted must also be mounted before it can be accessed.

10.3.1 Using Novell Remote Manager to Mount an NCP Volume

If you create an NCP volume with Novell Remote Manager, the volume is automatically mounted when it is created.

To mount an NCP volume:

In Novell Remote Manager, click Manage NCP Services > Manage Shares, then click the Mount button next to the NCP volume you want to mount.

10.3.2 Using NCPCON to Mount an NCP Volume

Open a terminal console on the Linux server that you want to manage, then log in as the root user.
Use one of the following methods to mount an NCP volume:
- At the terminal console prompt, enter ncpcon to open the NCPCON utility, then enter
```
mount ncp_volume_name
```
- At the terminal console prompt, enter
```
ncpcon mount ncp_volume_name
```
  For example, if volume sys is dismounted, mount it by entering
```
ncpcon mount sys
```
Replace ncp_volume_name with the name of the NCP volume you want to mount. Volume names are not case sensitive. You can also replace ncp_volume_name with all to mount all NCP volumes on the server.
