Section 4: NetWare (NCP)
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Manual 45
Installation as an
NDS Server
If used as an NDS server, the StorPoint CD must first be installed in the NDS
tree. The most convenient way to do this is using the installation wizard
available from the StorPoint CD Web interface, see “Wizard” on page 45.
However, if you do not have a TCP/IP environment, you must use a text editor
and edit the configuration file manually. Refer to “Text Editor” on page 46.
Important! ❏ If you change any of the following parameters after installing the StorPoint
CD in the NDS tree, you might need to repeat the installation:
• IP address
• Internal Net Address
• IPX Enable
• PureIP Enable
• NetWare/IP
Requirements When installing the first StorPoint CD into the NDS tree, it is recommended
that you use an account with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree.
The StorPoint CD will extend the NDS schema with a new attribute called
AXIS:SPcd:rights which will be added to the NCP Server class. The extension
is needed for storing file system access rights.
The new attribute will not affect the operation of your NetWare servers. The
schema extension has been approved by Novell as part of the YES certification of
this product.
Notes: ❏ Adding the schema extension requires Supervisor rights to the [Root] object
of the NDS tree.
❏ If you do not have Supervisor rights to [Root] or if schema extensions are
not allowed in your NDS tree, you can store the access rights in a file on a
NetWare file server. However, you must specify the NDS Rights Storage
and NDS Rights File parameters properly. You will need Supervisor rights
to the Organizational Unit (OU). After the NDS installation, you must
create and assign access rights to the directory on the NetWare file server
where the file is stored.
For subsequent installations, Create rights to the context where you want to
install the StorPoint CD will be sufficient.
Wizard The installation wizard is a convenient way to install your StorPoint CD in the
NetWare environment.
1. Verify that the NDS tree is synchronized. To do that, you load
DSREPAIR.NLM on a NetWare server console in the NDS tree and select
Unattended full repair.
Important! ❏ If the NDS tree is not synchronized, do not continue the installation until
you have solved the problem.
2. Start your Web browser, and enter the name or IP address of the StorPoint CD
in the location/address field.
