NetWare 5: At Your Command
will still function with the DOWN command since DOWN alone now triggers the EXIT
events.
To access infrequently used options and make last-minute changes in your server installation,
click the Customize button on the Server Summary screen. Now breathe a sigh of relief
because here's where you can easily modify any prior incomplete or incorrect options. You
can also access options—such as, the SNMP parameters—that aren't necessary in every
installation.
Some NLMs are contained inside the SERVER.EXE file. These NLMs are called Bound-In
and are loaded in a predetermined order when the server is started. Here are a few specifics
about these bound-in characters:
Just like ordinary NLMs, a Bound-In NLM can be unloaded by entering UNLOAD
FILENAME.NLM.
To load an internal NLM, you must add an asterisk to the filename to indicate that the file
is located in SERVER.EXE. For example *FILENAME.NLM.
Should a newer version of an internal NLM ever be released, placing the newer version in
the SERVER.EXE startup directory will force the server to use the newer version.
SERVER.EXE also has several command-line parameters that may be helpful in debugging
driver and server configuration issues.
SERVER –NA starts the server without executing the AUTOEXEC.NCF.
SERVER –NS starts the server without executing STARTUP.NCF. Generally, this
command also stops the execution of the AUTOEXEC.NCF since SYS: is not mounted.
Note: However, if there is an AUTOEXEC.NCF in the C:\NWSERVER directory when you use
the SERVER –NS command, AUTOEXEC.NCF will execute.
SERVER –NL prevents the server from showing Novell's splash screen; SERVER –L
forces the server to show the splash screen. Also see "General NetWare 5 Software Tips."
SERVER –ND will allow the server to boot without loading NDS. Also see "Using
Novell Directory Services with NetWare 5."
Make certain that the latest versions of disk drivers and NLMs are located in both
C:\NWSERVER and C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS. Why? Because NetWare 5 searches
C:\NWSERVER and C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS for drivers when a new hot-pluggable
device is detected.
Take heed!
To view all detected processors and their statuses, enter the command DISPLAY
PROCESSORS. In NetWare 5, this command shows how many processors are detected and
their current state.
The STOP PROCESSORS command will change the state of all SMP processors to
offline.
The START PROCESSORS command will enable all available processors in the server.

If the server finds a different version of the driver in each location, the file in
C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS will be used for the new device and will replace
(overwrite) the one in C:\NWSERVER.
