Once you install NetStorage, it will start automatically when you start your NetWare 6 server. If
NetStorage is not accessible, restart the NetWare 6 server where NetStorage is installed. Also,
the date and time on the server running NetStorage should be reasonably close (within a few
hours) of the date and time on the machine being used to access NetStorage.
To access NetStorage, do the following:
1 Start your browser or Microsoft Web Folders and enter the URL for NetStorage.
The URL is http://server_ip_address/oneNet/NetStorage/. Replace server_ip_address with
the IP address or DNS name of the NetWare 6 server where you installed NetStorage or the
IP address you chose for the Apache-based services during the NetWare 6 installation.
If you specified a port number other than port 80 for Apache-based services during the
NetWare 6 installation, you must also specify that port number with the URL.
For example, if the IP address for NetStorage is 127.1.1.1 and the port number is 51080, then
you would specify 127.1.1.1:51080/oneNet/NetStorage/.
2 Enter your username and password.
NetStorage uses your eDirectory username and password, so you don't need to remember or
use a separate username or password.
The NetStorage Web page displays the network files and folders currently accessible for each
user. NetStorage reads the user's NetWare login script to determine drive mappings, reads
eDirectory User object properties to determine the path to the user's home directory, and then
displays a list of files and folders based on mapped drives and home directories.
If you specified alternate IP addresses or DNS names of servers in other eDirectory trees during
the NetStorage installation, NetStorage reads the User object properties in the other eDirectory
trees and displays those home directories also. This is useful if a user normally logs in to more
than one eDirectory tree and you want that user to have access to additional home directories in
different eDirectory trees using NetStorage. The User object name must be the same for each
eDirectory tree.
NetStorage reads the user's login script only from the primary eDirectory server specified during
the installation and displays the user's drive mappings only based on that login script.
You can use many of the same conventions for expanding and contracting folders and opening
files that are available in Windows Explorer. To create new folders or copy, delete, rename,
move, or download existing files or folders using a browser, click the Down arrow next to the file
or folder.
