Creating Volume Sys - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Creating Volume SYS:

When removing volume SYS: during a new server installation, you must
choose one of the following options:
Replace Volume SYS: and its NetWare Partition—This removes the
existing volume SYS: as well as the entire NetWare partition containing
volume SYS:. Any volume that is part of the NetWare partition that
contains volume SYS: is also removed—even if the volume spans to
other NetWare partitions.
Remove All NetWare Volumes and NetWare/NSS Partitions—This
removes all NetWare volumes and all NetWare/NSS partitions.
Remove All but Shared Volumes and Partitions—This option is
available only if shared storage has been detected on the server.
Any option will remove only NetWare partitions. Other types of partitions,
such as DOS, UNIX, and system/utility partitions will not be removed.
During the initial stages of installation, the installation program guides you
through the steps to create a single NetWare partition containing volume
SYS:. It is created as a Novell Storage Services (NSS) volume, which has
many advantages over a traditional volume.
The NetWare 6 operating system requires a volume SYS: that meets the
requirements specified in "System Requirements" on page 27.
