Configuring NetWare ConsoleOne

NetWare 6.x
Novell NetWare v6.x requires a tool called ConsoleOne to work in a storage environment. ConsoleOne
is a free Java utility used to manage network resources. Configure ConsoleOne as follows:
1. Ensure NetWare Client software is already installed.
2. Install ConsoleOne on the NetWare 6.x server.
3. From the NetWare Client, run ConsoleOne:
z:public/mgmt/consoleOne/1.2/bin/ConsoleOne
4. Right-click the Server icon, and select Disk Management Devices.
5. Scroll left to the Media tab.
6. Click Partitions, New, and select a device.
7. Click Create, click NSS pools, click New, and name the pool. The pool name and volume name
can be the same.
8. Click Create, click NSS Logical Volume, select New, name the volume, then select the pool.
9. Select Allow volume quota to grow to pool size.
10. Leave the default settings on the next page and click Finish.

Clustering and fabric zoning

If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software on the servers.
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each server is a node.
Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following example shows a multi-cluster
environment with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access to the disk array.
