Copy The Files And Mount Them As Nss Volumes - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER 2 SP2 Installation Manual

C.2 Copy the Files and Mount Them as NSS
Volumes
The following instructions create unrestricted access to OES 2 SP2 installation files on a NetWare
server on your network. Restricting access to the installation files requires additional configuration
through Apache Manager or manual editing of the Apache configuration files.
For more information on restricting access, see information about the Options, Order, Deny, Allow,
and other directives on the
directives.html).
To provide unrestricted access to the OES 2 SP2 image files:
1 Create a directory at the root of a server volume with at least 6 GB of free disk space.
For example, you might create a directory named
2 Restrict access to the directory to only those administrators who copy image files to the
directory.
This is important because if someone attempts to access these files after they are mounted as
NSS volumes, the volumes are immediately dismounted and are no longer available.
3 Copy the DVD image files listed in
created.
4 At the server console, mount each image file as an NSS volume:
4a Enter the following command:
nss /MountImageVolume=volume:directory/filename.iso
where volume is the NSS volume name, directory is the directory you created in
and filename is the name of the ISO file.
For example:
nss /MountImageVolume=TOOLS:OES2_INSTALL/SLES-10-SP2-i386-DVD1.iso
4b Note the assigned volume name.
For the first SLES DVD you mount (either 32-bit or 64-bit), the name is
which is the actual volume name in the image file. For the second image you mount, the
assigned name is CD_ followed by a four-digit number, starting with 0000.
The same principle applies to the OES 2 SP2 image files. The first file mounted is the
actual OES 2 SP2 volume name, but the second image is assigned a CD_xxxx name.
Knowing which volume is for which platform is critical as you create an access URL to
the volume in Apache Manager.
5 In a supported browser, start Apache Manager by entering the following URL:
https://server_ip_address:2200/apacheadmin/login.jsp
Replace server_ip_address with the IP address of the NetWare server.
6 Log in as the Admin user or a user with administrative rights to the Apache server.
7 Click the Content Manager icon
8 Click Additional Document Directories.
9 In the URL Prefix field, specify an alias name you want people to use to access one of the
mounted volumes.
