ConsoleOne 1.3

Installing the NICI Client
Some of the ConsoleOne snap-ins for NetWare 6 require the NICI Client. To
use those snap-ins, you must install NICI on every workstation where you will
use ConsoleOne.
IMPORTANT:
Two versions of NICI are provided for Windows platforms: 1.5.7
and 2.0.2. We recommend that you install both versions.
NICI 1.5.7 is implemented as a kernel driver, while NICI 2.0.2 is implemented as a
shared DLL. Applications using NICI 1.5.7 will not work if only NICI 2.0.2 is
installed. Likewise, new applications will require at least NICI version 2.0.2. Both
NICI versions can be installed on the same Windows workstations, providing
support for all applications.
A Client CD containing the NICI client for Microsoft* Windows operating
systems is included with NetWare 6. NICI clients for Solaris* and Linux* can
be found on the Novell software download page (http://www.novell.com/
download).
To install the NICI client from the Client CD, insert the CD. An autorun
application begins. Select the NICI client from the list.
Running ConsoleOne on the NetWare Server Console
For best performance, we recommend that you install ConsoleOne on a
workstation. Use the NetWare 6 Client CD to install ConsoleOne and snap-ins
onto your workstation.
Losing Connection to ConsoleOne after Cluster
After a node in the cluster dies, you should log out and then log back in to see
the Cluster View in ConsoleOne.
