Preparing NetWare servers
Several NetWare configuration settings affect the installation of the
Management Agent and anti-virus components. Determine whether these
affect your servers before installation.
SECURE CONSOLE command
During installation, edit the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF (or MSAUTO.NCF for
NetWare 4.x SFTIII servers), to add a call to NAIAV.NCF, which causes the
Management Agent to load.
If you see the SECURE CONSOLE command in AUTOEXEC.NCF, add the call
before it. This is necessary because the Management Agent is loaded from
SYS:SYSTEM\NTME\NAIAV.NCF and adds a server search mapping to this
directory, so that we can still load the agent after SECURE CONSOLE has been
issued.
However, on a first-time installation, if the server is already secured, NetWare
does not let you add a server search path, so you will be unable to load.
Because there is no way to "unsecure" the console, the server must be restarted
before successful loading.
AUTOEXEC.NCF
With NetWare 3.x, under certain situations, it is necessary to move the
AUTOEXEC.NCF from SYS:SYSTEM to the server's DOS partition. This is
often the case when needing to mount large hard disks when the
REGISTER MEMORY command must also be used.
NetWare does not provide any remote access to files on the DOS partition. If
during install, the Management Console is unable to find AUTOEXEC.NCF,
you must manually add a call to NAIAV.NCF to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to
automatically load the Management Agent when the server starts up.
NOTE: If you create a new drive mapping that points to the directory
where the installer resides, do not remove this drive mapping until after
the installer has been run.
