Novell Native File Access Protocols Installation and Administration Guide
To set up the Macintosh portion of Novell Native File Access Protocols in an
environment running Novell Cluster Services, complete the following:
1
Load AFPTCP.NLM on all servers in the cluster by entering LOAD
AFPTCP at the server system console.
HINT:
You can add this command to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file of each server.
2
Cluster-enable the shared-disk volumes by following the procedures
described in the
www.novell.com/documentation/lg/ncs/index.html)
3
(Optional) Rename cluster-enabled volumes so Macintosh users will see
the same volume name regardless of what server has the volume
mounted.
For instructions, see
Volumes are displayed as "ServerName.VolumeName." If the server fails
over, the user sees the next failover server with the same volume name.
For example, Server1.VOL1 becomes Server2.VOL1. Renaming each
ServerName.VolumeName to a common name displays the common
name regardless which server is providing the volume. For example,
renaming Server1.VOL1 to Graphics, Server2.VOL1 to Graphics, and
Server3.VOL1 to Graphics displays Graphics regardless which server is
providing VOL1.
Macintosh clients should now be able to access files on the server cluster by
entering the IP address or server name of the cluster-enabled volume.
NOTE:
Novell Native File Access Protocols does not support automatic reconnect
for Macintosh computers. If the network connection between a Mac computer and
one of the servers in the cluster fails, the user must reconnect using the same IP
address for the cluster-enabled volume.
To set up the Windows portion of Novell Native File Access Protocols in an
environment running Novell Cluster Services, complete the following steps:
1
Remove the CIFSSTRT.NCF command from each server's
AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
2
Create a Cluster Resource object that corresponds with the Novell Native
File Access Protocols support for Windows.
