This topic provides a step-by-step procedure for installing the NetWare®
Services software. Keep a thorough record of the details of your
installation: this can be invaluable if you need to recover from a
system crash.
NOTE:
Use the scoadmin System Time Manager to set the computer's time
and time zone. (The time synchronization feature in NetWare Directory
Services uses the computer's time setting.) Access this utility as
follows:
The ``Application Installer'' window appears and catalogs all the
applications you currently have installed on your system, displaying
them in the bottom part of the window.
Click on the selection box next to the ``Install From:'' option.
A list of installation media appears.
Click on the medium that contains the NetWare Services software.
Choose ``Network'' to install from a remote UnixWare install server, or
``Tape'' to install from a QIC tape, or ``CD-ROM''
to install from a CD-ROM.
Packages available on the medium are displayed.
(Conditional) For a network installation, enter the name of the remote
UnixWare server, then click on Update View to see the packages
available.
Click on the uninstalled application or application set icon(s).
Click on Install.
The ``Add Application'' window appears and may require your response. The
new application or application set is installed on your system.
NOTE:
When you install applications, a mail message is sent to your mailbox. You
can read this message from the ``Mail'' window or by using the
mailx(1)
command.
Installing NetWare Services
Regardless of whether you initiated the installation from the command line
or from the Application Installer, a menu is displayed. Use the menu options
as follows:
To read the help screens associated with installation, select the ``Learn
about the installation procedure'' option.
To view a list of hardware and software requirements, select the ``View
system requirements'' option.
To continue the installation process, select the ``Continue installation''
option.
To stop the installation, select the ``Exit without installing'' option.
To install NetWare Services, do the following:
Select ``Continue installation''.
A menu appears.
Choose either ''Accept all settings and install now'' (to use the default
settings) or ``View or change default configuration'' (to customize your
installation).
You can also choose to return to the previous menu.
If you select ``View or change default configuration'' from the Installation
Main Menu, a menu appears.
You can select any or all of the menu options. If you choose not to install
a particular component at this time, you can install it later by running
the installation program again and selecting the component you want to
install. Make sure there is no asterisk inside the parentheses of the
components you don't want to select or have already installed, or they
will be reinstalled.
Use the following information to determine your installation path:

This selection allows you to install user licenses and configure server
and volume parameters. Continue with the instructions in
``Configuring the server''.
Only the Client Kit
NetWare Services Client Kit
This selection allows you to install diskette images for making NetWare client
diskettes at a later time. See
``Installing the client kit''.
NetWare Services, the Client Kit
NetWare Services, NetWare Services Client Kit
These selections allow you to install all components at one time.
Information on each of these components follows. Continue with the
instructions in
``Configuring the server''.
To install the user license and configure server and volume information,
complete these steps:
From the Software Component Selection Menu, select ``NetWare Services''.
A menu appears.
NOTE:
If you prefer, you can install the server license at another time. In this
case, your server defaults to a zero-user system. For information on adding
licenses after installation, refer to
``Adding and deleting licenses''.
Insert your Server Connection License diskette into the
appropriate drive.
Select ``Install NetWare user license''.
You can add another license diskette or continue the installation. After the
licenses are installed, the License Menu reappears.
Select ``Continue installation'' or ''Install another license''.
A menu appears.
Enter the server name.
This is the name by which the server is known on the NetWare network.
It must be from 2 to 47 characters long and can include alphanumeric
characters, hyphens, and underscores. The default is the name of the
UnixWare system on which the NetWare Services software is installed.
Enter your internal IPX address.
This is the internal network number for this NetWare server. It must be
expressed in hexadecimal notation (0-9, A-F) and is limited to eight
digits. It must not conflict with the external network number (which
you can view using the NetWare Setup icon in the Networking folder) and
must be unique within all interconnected networks. The default is
determined by a random-number generator.
Select Yes or No to indicate whether you want to start NetWare Services
during the UnixWare boot process.
Select Yes if you want the server to start automatically when you start
UnixWare. Select No if you prefer to start the server yourself. The
default is Yes.
Press <F10> to save your changes and continue with the installation.
A menu appears.
Use the following information to make your selections:
The ``Mount point'' field specifies the root of this volume on the UnixWare
filesystem. It can be anywhere on the UNIX filesystem, except on a control
directory. The default is /SYS:.
Although the minimum space required is 31MB, we recommend a
filesystem size of 50MB or 60MB for expansions such
as queues, the NetWare Directory Services database, and users' directories.
The ``Control directory'' field specifies the UNIX directory that contains
control information (such as NetWare trustee information, the NetWare
inodes file, and extended name files) for this volume. It can be anywhere
on the UNIX file system except on any other NetWare volume. At least 20%
of the maximum volume space must be available in this directory. The
default is /etc/netware/control/SYS.
The ``Name spaces'' field specifies the client name spaces enabled for
this volume. Values are ``DOS, UNIX'', or ``DOS,
UNIX, OS2''.
Select ``DOS, UNIX'' if only DOS and UNIX clients will
access this volume.
Select ``DOS, UNIX, OS2'' if OS/2 clients
will also access this volume. The default value is ``DOS, UNIX''.
Enter the mount point path.
NOTE:
If mount point is specified on the root file system, it is important that
users not fill up the volume (and hence fill up the root file system under
UNIX) or UNIX will not be able to run.
From the Software Components Selections menu, select ''NetWare Services
Client Kit''.
The Client Kit Options menu appears.
Enter the name of the operating system(s) for which you want disk images made
for NetWare Clients.
Use the following information to help make your selection.
If you plan to create NetWare clients only on DOS/Windows systems,
select the ``MS-DOS/Win'' option.
If you plan to create NetWare clients only on OS/2 systems, select
the ``OS/2'' option.
If you plan to create NetWare clients on DOS/Windows and
OS/2 systems, select the ``MS-DOS/Win and
OS/2'' option.
The actual diskettes are made when you use the scoadmin NetWare
Client Disks utility. For information on using this application, refer to
``Making client diskettes''.
Enter the path to the location where you want the disk images stored.
The disk images require 16MB of disk space.
Press <F10> to save and continue.
Completing the installation
You must shut down your system to complete the installation. Enter the
following commands to do this:
