Netware File System Management - HP StorageWorks S1000 - NAS Administration Manual

NetWare File System
Management
File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is one part of the Microsoft software package
called Services for NetWare. The most common use of the NetWare network operating system
is as a file and print server. Customers using NetWare as the platform to host their file and print
services have become accustomed to its interface from both a user and an administrator point
of view and have built up an investment in NetWare file and print services. File and Print
Services for NetWare helps customers preserve their NetWare skill set while consolidating the
number of platforms. This reduces hardware costs and simplifies file and print server
administration by making the NAS 1000s emulate a NetWare file and print server. FPNW
eases the addition of the NAS 1000s into a mixed infrastructure by providing a NetWare user
interface (UI) to a Windows 2000-based server; administrators and users see their same,
familiar NetWare UI. Additionally, the same logon for clients is maintained without a need for
any client configuration changes.
This service also provides the ability to create Novell volumes, which are actually NTFS
shares, from which users can map drives and access resources. Novell Login scripts are
supported on the NAS 1000s or through an existing NDS (Novell Directory Services) account.
