How to Recover the NetWare Operating System
This section describes how to recover the NetWare operating system using the
NetWorker software. Use this process to recover the NetWare operating
system back to the original computer, or to a different computer with the same
name.
You can recover the operating system by performing:
• A complete installation using install or nwconfig. In this instance, you
perform a complete reinstallation and configuration of the operating
system.
• Alternatively, perform a partial installation using install or nwconfig. In
this case, install and configure only those files that enable the computer to
communicate over the network. Then, recover the remaining operating
system and configuration files using the NetWorker software.
To recover the operating system, complete the following tasks:
• “Task 1: Install the Operating System” on page 92
• “Task 2: Configure the Operating System” on page 93
• “Task 3: Test the Operating System and Configure Devices” on page 94
