Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual page 612

System Requirements
If you have met the requirements for NetWare 6 and have NetWare 6 installed, you have met
almost all of the system requirements for NetStorage.
The following list specifies the system requirements for installing and running Novell NetStorage:
At least one NetWare 6 server in the eDirectory
A Netscape* Navigator* 4.7 or later or Internet Explorer 5.0 or later browser or Microsoft
Web Folders
Installing Novell NetStorage during the NetWare 6 Installation
1 Start the NetWare 6 installation and continue through the install until you get to the screen
requiring you to choose either the Express or the Custom installation.
2 Select the Custom installation option.
You must select the Custom installation option to install NetStorage during the NetWare 6
installation. You cannot install NetStorage during an Express installation.
You are given the option of installing a new server or ugrading an existing server. NetStorage
can be installed using either of these options.
Continue through the installation until you get to the screen that lists the components that
can be installed with NetWare 6.
3 Check the box for the NetStorage Component along with the other components you want
installed with NetWare 6, and then click Next.
Continue to the NetStorage Install screen.
4 Specify the IP address or DNS name of a server in your eDirectory tree that has the master
replica or a read/write replica of eDirectory.
The primary eDirectory server URL is required for NetStorage to function properly. This does
not necessarily have to be the IP address or DNS name of the server where NetStorage is to
be installed.
When a user attempts to log in, NetStorage searches the eDirectory database on the server
you specify for the User object. If the User object is found, NetStorage attempts to
authenticate the user to eDirectory.
If you know the eDirectory context for the users that will use NetStorage, you can add that
context to the URL by inserting a colon (:) between the IP address or DNS name and the
eDirectory context. The context is optional. If no context is specified, NetStorage searches
the entire eDirectory tree on the primary eDirectory server for User objects.
For example, if the IP address of the server is 127.0.0.1 and the eDirectory context for your
users is personnel, then you would add 127.0.0.1:personnel to the field.
