With NetWare , you can create up to four NetWare (or other) partitions on one
hard disk. The primary storage and file system for NetWare is Novell
Services (NSS). For information about the NSS file system, see
TM
Novell Storage Services
After you create partitions on your storage devices, you can create volumes
where you place your data files. There are two types of volumes you can
create: traditional NetWare volumes and NSS logical volumes. For more
information about NSS logical volumes see
Novell Storage Services Administration Guide.
To maintain and modify your storage and file system, you use your server
console, ConsoleOne
create, modify, and purge partitions and volumes. MONITOR provides
important disk use and file statistics. You can use MONITOR to review disk
usage and availability. You can also use it to review data block placement and
redirection. For instructions on using MONITOR, see
Reference.
To optimize your server's storage devices, follow the general
recommendations found in
page 21.
