Reconfigure Existing Disks

This section provides instructions for reconfiguring a server that uses one or more hard disks. This procedure only applies if you need to allocate some space on your hard disk for NSS and you haven't already loaded and configured NSS. If you do not have enough disk space to run NSS, you can add a new hard disk or reinstall NetWare 5 to recofigure your existing space.


Reconfigure a Single Disk for NSS

This procedure applies if you have only one hard drive that contains Sys and you have no unpartitioned space available for NSS.

  1. Use the NWCONFIG utility to remove the current NetWare partition.

    1. At the server console, enter nwconfig.

    2. Dismount the NetWare volume.

    3. Select Standard Disk Options > Modify disk partitions and Hot Fix > Delete any disk partition.

    4. Select the partition to delete, and delete the partition.

  2. Reinstall NetWare 5 and create a smaller NetWare partition, leaving enough unpartitioned space for the NSS volume.

  3. Restore the data if you have enough space left in your NetWare partition.


Reconfigure Multiple Disks for NSS

This procedure applies if you have many hard drives, but you have no unpartitioned space available for NSS.

  1. Select a disk to hold the NSS partition. Use any disk except the one that contains the Sys volume.

  2. Use the NWCONFIG utility to delete or resize the current NetWare partition to create enough space to accommodate the NSS partition.

    1. At the server console, enter nwconfig.

    2. Select Standard Disk Options > Modify disk partitions and Hot Fix > Delete any disk partition.

    3. Select the partition to delete.

    4. Delete the partition.

    5. Either re-create the NetWare partition and a NetWare volume leaving space in the volume for NSS, or do not create a NetWare partition and leave the available space for NSS. Make sure the NetWare volume does not contain Sys.

    6. Restore the data.
