NetWare
As a prerequisite for installing Storage Manager on NetWare,
your network must include at least one client workstation that
supports Storage Manager. Therefore, in addition to installing
Storage Manager on your server, you must also install Storage
Manager on a client workstation. You manage your RAID from
the client.
To install Storage manager for NetWare
1
Mount the CD. For NetWare 5, refer to the Novell
documentation. For NetWare 4.11 or 4.2, type
cd mount adaptecraid_v1 /x=usr
2
Type
adaptecraid_v1\package\netware\5.x\apps\sm\dptinst.nlm
You are prompted to select whether to load the remote
communication support immediately or delay loading until
the server is restarted. If you wait until the server restarts,
you cannot monitor the RAID from a remote client until the
server is shut down and restarted. If you load remote
communication support immediately, the remote
communication support is loaded and available as soon as
you exit the install program.
