CDROM

Purpose

Use at the server console to allow a CD-ROM disk to function as a Novell^® Storage Services^TM (NSS) volume. Your NSS^TM volume will mount immediately.

This version of CDROM replaces the version used in previous NetWare^® releases. (The previous version of CDROM is now named CDINST.NLM and should be used only for NetWare 5 installation.)

The NetWare 6 version of CDROM is a simple NetWare module that loads the following:

• NSS
• CD9660.NSS
• CDHFS.NSS

Syntax

[LOAD] CDROM

You can load NSS, CD9660.NSS, or CDHFS.NSS separately if preferred.

You can use CDINST.NLM as long as CD9660.NSS or CDHFS.NSS are not loaded at the same time.

Using CDROM

IMPORTANT:  Use CD-ROM as a read-only NSS volume. Don't enable block suballocation or use file compression on the volume.

• CDROM won't load unless you have loaded the NWPA.DSK NPA driver (an I/O device-independent driver that interfaces with the Media Manager).
• CDROM autoloads the NSS modules.
• NSS supports CD-ROM volumes mounted with the Macintosh* and ISO 9660 name spaces.
• CD9660.NSS supports High Sierra and ISO 9660 formats. The HFS (Apple*) file system is supported by CDHFS.NSS. To enable HFS support, load CDROM or CDHFS.NSS.
