Client Access to CDs

The procedures for accessing your HP CD-ROM server are
similar to accessing any other NetWare file server. Users at
workstations (clients) on the network use the same procedures
to access both types of servers, For easy access to the CDs from
applications, the server should be made available to each client
system—"mapped" to a drive letter on PC systems. After the
server is mapped, the client accesses the server, with its
CD-ROMs (and optionally its configuration parameters) just like
any other attached disk drive or networked file server.
The mapping described in this section can be done on one work-
station by one administrator or installer first. Then any configu-
ration tasks for the server setup can be done (described later
"Configuring the Server" on page 5-9), before setting up all the
network clients according to the procedures in this section.
Different workstations need different points of access to the
server. The network administrator or installer, for example,
needs access to configure and monitor the server and to config-
ure access rights. Then, the administrator may want to set up all
the clients with access to the CDs, bypassing the configuration
and security files stored on the server. Choices for the latter
setup include mapping all the CDs in the server and mapping
each drive or CD separately.
The procedures for mapping drives require you to select an
access point. We recommend using the description of access
points and the file system used on the server, in the reference
chapter starting on page 7-2, before proceeding.
The examples in this section are for Microsoft client software on
Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, and
DOS. For use of Client 32, you may need to make substitutions
in these procedures.
The examples below assume a default CD-ROM server name
for NetWare: HP hhhhhh _NW, where hhhhhh are the last six
digits of the server's LAN hardware (MAC) address. Your
server name will be different if you have changed the server
name or if you are using NetWare/IP.
