Client Access to Discs

The procedures for accessing your HP CD/DVD-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 discs 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 discs (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
workstation by one administrator or installer first. Then any
configuration tasks for the server setup can be done (described later
in "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. Then, the administrator may
want to set up all the clients with access to the discs, bypassing the
configuration files stored on the server. Choices for the latter setup
include mapping all the discs in the server and mapping each drive
or disc volume separately.
The procedures for mapping drives require you to select an access
point. We recommend using the description of access points and the
server's file system, in the reference chapter starting on page 7-1,
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 that you have not changed the
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 (see page 5-10) or if you are using NetWare/IP.
