Problem: No data appears in the Volume object after dropping a container into a volume
that has not been opened.

(TSA) are not loaded on either the source or the destination server, or the
sys:etc/hosts file does not contain the server IP addresses, or Service
Location Protocol (SLP) is not properly configured.
Action: Check to see if smdr.nlm is running on a NetWare
smdr at the server console.
To check if the SMDR module is running on an OES Linux server, enter
pgrep smdr at the shell prompt.
If SMDR is not loaded on the source or destination server, manually load it.
On a NetWare server, enter load smdr. On an OES Linux server, enter /
etc/init.d/novell-smdrd start.
Action: Check to see if tsafs.nlm is running on a NetWare server by entering m tsa*
at the server console.
To check if the TSAFS module is running on an OES Linux server, enter /
opt/novell sms/bin/smsconfig -t at the shell prompt.
If TSAFS is not loaded on the source or destination server, manually load it.
On a NetWare server, enter load tsafs. On an OES Linux server, enter /
opt/novell/sms/bin/smsconfig -l tsafs.
Action: On a small network with three or fewer servers, you do not need to configure
SLP. Instead, edit the sys:etc/hosts file on the source server to contain the IP
address and DNS name of the destination server, and vice versa on the
destination server.
After editing the sys:etc/hosts files, you might need to reload smdr.nlm and
tsafs.nlm on your NetWare servers.
Action: Enter display slp services smdr.novell//(svcname-
ws==source_ server_name) (replace source_server_name with the
name of your source server) at the destination server console.
If it appears there is a problem with SLP, go to
