6. CPQDAOPT displays the registered disk devices it has located. Select
the device where you will create a partition by using the cursor keys
and press Enter.
7. CPQDAOPT determines if it is possible to optimize the alignment of
data on the selected device. If so, it provides you with a formula for
determining the size of the Hot Fix Redirection Area you should select
when creating this partition. Make a note of the formula: even, odd,
and so on.
8. In some cases, it may not be possible to optimally align the data on the
partition by sizing the Hot Fix Redirection Area alone. CPQDAOPT
may instruct you to create a small DOS partition on the device. If so:
a. Exit from NetWare/intraNetWare before creating the partition.
b. Use the DOS FDISK utility to create the smallest DOS
partition allowed.
c. Start the server and load CPQDAOPT.NLM again.
9. Use the Alt+Esc keys to return to the NetWare/intraNetWare
installation process and select the option to create disk partitions. Use
the formula recommended by CPQDAOPT to determine the number of
Hot Fix Redirection Blocks for the partition installed on the selected
device. Make sure that the number of blocks is the same as described
by the formula. For example, if the formula was "even", any number
that is even will work.
10. After the SYS volume is optimized and the NetWare/intraNetWare
files are installed, copy the CPQDAOPT.NLM to the server's SYSTEM
partition so that it is easily accessible for future optimizations. In the
following example, F: is mapped to the server's SYSTEM partition.
From a client logged into the server, type:
copy A:\drv_arry\cpqdaopt.nlm f:\system\cpqdaopt.nlm
