Using CPQDAOPT on NetWare Servers
NOTE: Back up existing data before applying new settings to data volumes.
1. Start your NetWare server.
NOTE: The following steps are meant as an example.
2. Copy the CLIB.NLM and STREAMS.NLM files from the NetWare
Installation CD-ROM (D:\ NETWARE.312\________\C where the line
represents eight underscores) to the server’s DOS partition before you
begin installation.
NOTE:
CLIB.NLM
must be v3.11c or later.
3. Be sure you load CPQDA386.DSK (version 3.10 or later).
4. When the Create NetWare Partition option appears during a new
NetWare installation, use the Alt+Esc key sequence to change to the
console prompt and load CLIB:
Load clib.nlm
5. Load CPQDAOPT.NLM from Novell SSD Disk 4:
Load A:\drv_arry\cpqdaopt
6. CPQDAOPT displays the registered disk devices it has located. Select
the device where you will create a partition by using the cursor keys.
Press Enter.
CPQDAOPT determines if it is possible to optimize the alignment of
data on the selected device. If so, it provides a formula to determine the
size of the Hot Fix Redirection Area you should select when creating this
partition. Note the formula: even, odd, and so on.
7. In some cases, it may not be possible to optimally align the data on the
partition by sizing the Hot Fix Redirection Area alone. CPQDAOPT may
instruct you to create a small DOS partition on the device. If so:
a. Exit NetWare before creating the partition.
b. Use the DOS FDISK utility to create the smallest DOS partition
allowed.
c. Start the server and load CPQDAOPT.NLM again.
