Installing NetWare Services
There are many steps to installing NetWare(r) Services (NWS) and
operating with client workstations on a network. The first step is to
install and configure UnixWare.
See your UnixWare online documentation for details of structuring your
NetWare Directory tree.
Use this topic to
+ Install NetWare Services.
+ Install NetWare Directory Services(TM).
+ Install NetWare clients.
For an overview of the installation procedures contained here, refer to
``Installation overview''.
If it is desired that NetWare servers and clients operate over TCP/IP
instead of (or in conjunction with) IPX/SPX, the NetWare/IP system should
also be installed.
Finally, administer the NetWare Services as described in your UnixWare
online documentation.
Chapter 2
Introduction
NetWare Services(r) allow UnixWare systems to act as NetWare clients and
UnixWare servers to act as NetWare servers.
The NetWare Services software runs on a UnixWare system and uses UnixWare
resources to provide NetWare services. For NetWare users, a NetWare
Services server looks and behaves like a NetWare server because it
provides the following services:
+ NetWare Directory Services (NDS(TM)).
Provides a global naming service that is distributed across the entire
NetWare network with a single point of administration. NetWare users
log in to the Directory tree and, with appropriate rights, have access
to any resource on the network, regardless of physical location.
+ NetWare file services.
Supports multiple name spaces and a multi-level file access system.
The name space feature allows users to view filenames in the naming
conventions of their workstation's operating system. File access is
controlled through trustee assignments to users and groups, inherited
rights, and file attributes that can restrict rights to specific
files.
+ NetWare print services.
Allows NetWare clients to access printing resources on both NetWare
and UnixWare printers.
+ NetWare client support and utilities.
Allows workstations running DOS/Windows, Windows 95, OS/2 and UnixWare
to log in to the NetWare server and share networked resources. NetWare
provides each client type with a set of NetWare utilities that allow
the users to configure their NetWare environment and to manage some
aspects of the NetWare server.
+ NetWare account security.
Provides secure NDS authentication with private key/public key
encryption as well as numerous login restrictions.
Installation overview
After UnixWare is installed, you can proceed with the NetWare Services
installation as follows:
+ Begin the installation using either the command line or the
Application Installer. (See the topics ``Installing using the command
line'' and ``Installing using the Application Installer'').
+ Either select a default configuration (as specified in ``Installing
with defaults'') or customize (as specified in ``Customizing the
installation'') your installation by doing the following:
- installing your NetWare user license
- configuring the server and SYS: volume parameters
- selecting Client Kit options
+ When NetWare Services installation is complete, enter the following
commands to rebuild the kernel:
cd /
shutdown -y -g0 -i6
+ Install NetWare Directory Services. (See Chapter 4, ``Installing
NetWare Directory Services''.)
+ Install your NetWare clients.
While not mandatory, this is the next phase of installation. If you
selected to install the Client Kit, you have installed the images for
creating NetWare client diskettes. If you choose to make client
diskettes, go to ``Making client diskettes''. Complete the process of
installing clients using the NetWare Client for OS/2 User Guide and
the NetWare Client for DOS and Windows User Guide.
+ Set up your printers. For information on printers, refer to your
UnixWare online documentation.
UnixWare package selections
NetWare Services requires the following UnixWare packages be installed:
_____________________________________________________________
For the server install For viewing documents online install
_____________________________________________________________
nwnet base
cmds
Hardware and software requirements
These are the hardware requirements for NetWare Services:
+ at least a 486/33 system
+ a 3.5 inch diskette drive installed as drive A:
+ the UnixWare system
+ 24MB of physical memory
+ 70MB free for disk space
+ 16MB for the NetWare Client Kit
The installation program
You should be aware of the following procedures as you work in the
installation program.

Chapter 4
Installing NetWare Directory Services
Setting up and administering NetWare Directory Services(TM) requires
planning and record keeping. Use the UnixWare online documentation for
guidelines and suggestions on planning your Directory tree. Make a
thorough record of your Directory tree installation, as this can be
invaluable when recovering from a system crash.
If you have installed UnixWare and then NetWare Services(r) you are now
ready to plan your NetWare Directory Services tree.
Beginning the installation
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE You must have system administrator privileges to use the
Application Installer.
_________________________________________________________________________
If you selected ``No'' in response to the option ``Start NetWare at Boot
Time'' on the ``Server Parameters'' menu (Step 7 in ``Configuring the
server''), you must start the server before attempting to install NetWare
Directory Services. Refer to ``Starting the server''.
Complete the following steps to install NDS:
1. In either text or graphics mode, start up the Directory Services
Install application using one of the following methods:
+ Enter the command scoadmin. When the scoadmin window appears,
select ``NetWare'' then select ``Directory Services Install''.
+ At the command line, enter the following:
scoadmin directory services install
See the note on the case of characters in scoadmin command lines
in ``Viewing system messages during installation''.
2. Select ``Install Directory Services onto this Server''.
Based on how your network is configured one of the following appears.
Go to the topic indicated.
+ If the prompt ``Is this the first NetWare 4 server?'' appears, go
to ``A nonlocatable Directory tree, or the first server''.
+ If a menu that begins with the option ``Install into tree
TREENAME'' appears, go to ``A single Directory tree is found''.
+ If a list entitled, ''Existing Directory Trees'' appears, go to
``Multiple directory trees are found''.
A nonlocatable Directory tree, or the first server
The following prompt appears if there is no previously installed NetWare
server, or the server you are installing cannot see the previously
installed NetWare server(s):
Is this the first NetWare 4 server?
Complete the steps in the appropriate topic:
+ ``The server cannot locate a Directory tree that was installed
previously''.
+ ``This is the first NetWare 4 server''.
The server cannot locate a Directory tree that was installed previously
1. From the ``Is This the First NetWare 4 Server?'' prompt, choose ``No,
Connect to Existing NetWare 4 Network''.
2. A menu appears.
+ If you have verified that an existing NetWare 4 server is up and
physically connected to this server, and that both servers are
bound to IPX(TM) with the proper LAN driver, frame type, and IPX
external network number, choose the ``Recheck for NetWare 4
Network'' option.
If a single Directory tree is located, go to ``A single Directory
tree is found''.
If multiple Directory trees are located, go to ``Multiple
directory trees are found''.
+ If your network has SAP filtering and you know the IPX internal
network number of an existing NetWare 4 server, choose ``Specify
Address of NetWare 4 Server''.
Enter the name of the Directory tree. Enter the IPX internal
network number of an existing NetWare 4 server in the Directory
tree.
If a single Directory tree is located, go to ``A single Directory
tree is found''.
If multiple Directory trees are located, go to ``Multiple
directory trees are found''.
This is the first NetWare 4 server
1. Choose ``Yes, This Is the First NetWare 4 Server''.
A screen appears, ready for you to name your new Directory tree.
For help on rules for naming a Directory tree, press <F1>.
2. Specify the Directory tree name.
Each Directory tree must have a name that is unique across the
internetwork. (Most organizations have only one Directory tree.)
The tree name enables clients to
+ Access data on multiple servers in a Directory tree without
logging in to each server.
+ Log in to different Directory trees by specifying the tree name.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Each Directory tree has its own database of objects
that is not visible from another tree. Be aware of this
limitation before creating multiple Directory trees.
_________________________________________________________________________
3. Set up time synchronization.
Time synchronization is important to NDS, because it
+ Monitors and adjusts a NetWare server's internal time to ensure
consistency of reported time across the network.
+ Indicates when a server's time is synchronized with the rest of
the network.
+ Provides timestamps to establish the order of events in the
Directory.
_________________________________________________________________________
WARNING Setting up time synchronization incorrectly can
cause network synchronization problems within the Directory
database.
_________________________________________________________________________
For more information on time synchronization, see your UnixWare
online documentation.
To enable time synchronization, you need to specify what type of time
server category this server falls into.
+ At the ``Time Configuration Parameters'' screen, verify or specify
time synchronization parameters. There are four time server types:
- Single Reference
- Reference
- Primary
- Secondary
The default sets the first NetWare Services server in a Directory
tree as a Single Reference server. All other servers default as
Secondary servers.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Do not change the time server defaults without a clear
understanding of time server types. Press <F1> for help.
_________________________________________________________________________
A screen appears. The cursor will be in the ``Time server type''
field.
+ (Conditional) If you want to choose a different time server type,
highlight the ``Time Server Type'' field.
A screen appears, prompting you to specify the server's NDS
context.
4. Specify the server's context (name context).
The server context, or name context, specifies where the server is
located in the hierarchical Directory tree. The context is composed
of
+ A company or organization name (example: O=Your Company).
+ Optional names of organizational units and subunits, such as
divisions or departments (example: OU=Sales).
+ An optional country code (example: C=US).
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE For recommendations on how to lay out your Directory
tree, see your UnixWare online documentation.
_________________________________________________________________________
For example, if your NetWare server were located in the ``Sales_LA''
group of the Sales department of a company called Acme, the server's
context would be OU=Sales_LA.OU=Sales.OU=Acme.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE The [Root] object is created automatically during NDS
installation.
_________________________________________________________________________
For information on context and naming conventions, see your UnixWare
online documentation.
+ In the ``Company or Organization'' field, enter your company or
organization name.
Only valid characters (letters A through Z or a through z, numbers
0 through 9, hyphen, underscore) can be used.
+ (Optional) In the ``Level 1 (Sub)Organizational Unit'' field,
enter an Organizational Unit name (such as a division or a
department).
Use this name to further specify your Directory tree. This could
be a division name, a locality name, a department name, or
anything that reflects your organization's structure.
Notice that the information in the ``Server Context'' field is
updated every time you enter a new name.
+ (Optional) In the ``Level 2 (Sub)Organizational Unit'' field,
enter an additional Organizational Unit name.
+ (Optional) In the ``Level 3 (Sub)Organizational Unit'' field,
enter an additional Organizational Unit name.
You can manually enter more than three levels of Organizational
Units into the ``Server Context'' field. Make sure you enter a
period (.) as a delimiter between the name entries.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE For more information, see your UnixWare online
documentation.
_________________________________________________________________________
5. The default common name (CN) for the administrator of the first
NetWare Services server in a Directory tree is ADMIN. The
installation program creates this User object ADMIN directly under
the Organization (O=) level.
The administrator can
+ Manage this Server object.
+ Manage User objects in this container.
+ Manage the Directory tree (applies only to ADMIN created on the
first NetWare Services server).
You can change the name of user ADMIN using the NETADMIN (or NetWare
Administrator) utility after the server is installed and you have set
up a workstation.
6. Type the administrator's password.
+ At the prompt, reenter the password.
+ (Optionally) Make a record of the password.
7. To save Directory information, press <F10>.
A message appears indicating that NetWare Directory Services is being
installed.
8. Review ``How does the Directory tree appear now?'' and ``What
trustee assignments were created during the installation?''.

``This is the first NetWare 4 server''.
Multiple directory trees are found
If multiple Directory trees are found, the ``Existing Directory Trees''
menu appears.
1. Choose the Directory tree into which you want to install this server.
A list of all Directory trees that are visible from this server
appears. Most organizations have only one Directory tree.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Make sure you choose the correct Directory tree name. If
your organization has more than one tree, attaching to the
wrong tree or creating a new Directory tree will prevent this
server from sharing data within the desired Directory database.
_________________________________________________________________________
Choosing an existing tree makes this new server part of that tree's
NetWare Directory database.
+ (Conditional) If the Directory tree you want is not displayed,
verify that an existing NetWare Services server in that tree is up
and physically connected to this server, and that both servers are
bound to IPX with the proper LAN driver, frame type, and IPX
external network number. Then press <F4> to rebuild the list.
+ (Conditional) If your network has SAP filtering and you know the
IPX internal network number of an existing NetWare 4 server, press
<F3> and enter the name of the Directory tree. Then, enter the IPX
internal network number of an existing NetWare 4 server in the
Directory tree.
+ (Conditional) If you need to create a new Directory tree on the
network, press <Ins>. At the confirmation prompt, press <Enter>.
Then follow the procedure given in ``This is the first NetWare 4
server''.
2. Specify time synchronization parameters.
The time configuration defaults for all servers except the first
NetWare Services server appear.
+ (Conditional) If you chose a simple Directory tree (only one
level), a simple ``Admin Password'' prompt appears.
If you want to install this server into the simple Directory tree,
enter the administrator password.
If you want to customize the simple Directory tree to create
multiple levels, press <F4>. If necessary, enter the administrator
name. Type the administrator password. Carry out Step 4 in ``This
is the first NetWare 4 server'' to set up the server's context.
+ In the ``Verify/Enter Time Configuration Information for this
Server'' screen, verify or specify time synchronization
parameters.
Refer to your UnixWare online documentation for information on how
to plan for time synchronization.
See Step 3 in ``This is the first NetWare 4 server'' for
instructions on how to configure time parameters, then return
here.
+ Press <F10> to save and continue.
After you have finished setting up time synchronization, you are
prompted to specify a Directory administrator login name and
password.
3. (Conditional) If the administrator's name is not displayed, enter the
administrator's name.
Enter the complete name of the administrator. This could be
+ your login name
+ the name of any User object with the Supervisor object right to
this context
+ user object ADMIN
For example, enter
CN=ADMIN.O=Your Company
Or, if you specified a country, enter
CN=ADMIN.O=Your Company.C=US
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE For more information about complete context names,
refer to your UnixWare online documentation.
_________________________________________________________________________
When the first NetWare Services server is installed, the
administrator's default name is ADMIN, but this name could have been
changed after the first NetWare Services server was installed.
There also could be more than one administrator in your Directory
tree.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Without supplying the correct name, you cannot install
this server as part of the Directory tree.
_________________________________________________________________________
4. Enter the administrator's password.
This password authenticates the administrator (the user installing
the server) to the Directory. The server context screen appears.
5. Choose an existing NetWare context or specify a new one.
If you want to place this new server into a context that has been
previously defined, press <Enter> at each organizational level to
view existing container objects and choose the object you need.
If you want to define a new context for this server, enter one or
more new Organizations (O=) or Organizational Units (OU=). See the
examples that follow.
You can either place this new server into a previously defined
context or you can specify a new context. By defining a context that
does not exist yet, you ``create'' the context; that is, you create a
new branch in the Directory tree.
Assume the context of the only existing NetWare 4.1 server is
OU=NEW_PRODUCTS.OU=MARKETING.O= YOUR COMPANY
If you specify the new server's context as
OU=SALES.O= YOUR COMPANY
the Directory tree will have a new ``branch'' (Sales). After server
installation, you can view your Directory tree using the NETADMIN or
NetWare Administrator utility.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE By default, the installation utility adds a replica
(duplicate) of the partition that contains the server's context
only if the total number of existing replicas is less than
three.
You can modify partitions with the PARTMGR or NetWare
Administrator utility, after server and workstation
installations are complete.
For more information on Directory partitions, see your UnixWare
online documentation.
_________________________________________________________________________
6. To save the Directory information, press <F10>.
A confirmation box appears.
7. Press <Enter> to select Yes.
8. Review ``How does the Directory tree appear now?'' and ``What
trustee assignments were created during the installation?''.
How does the Directory tree appear now?
The following objects were created in the Directory tree:
+ server object
+ volume objects (servername_SYS: and other volumes you specified)
+ user object ADMIN (the administrator who has Supervisor object rights
to this context); the installation utility places this object directly
under the Organization level
+ user object Supervisor (for bindery services purposes only); this
object can be recognized only from pre-NetWare 4.1 utilities (user
object Supervisor takes on User object ADMIN's password)
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE User object ADMIN is created only once, and only on the
first server in the Directory tree.
_________________________________________________________________________
These objects are placed in the same context you defined for your server.
What trustee assignments were created during the installation?
The following assignments were created:
+ User object ADMIN has the Supervisor object right to the [Root]
object. By inheritance, ADMIN also has the Supervisor right to all
Volume objects in the Directory.
+ [Public] has the Browse right to the [Root] object.
[Public] is equal to the group EVERYONE in the NetWare 3 environment.
+ Any container object has Read and File Scan rights to the PUBLIC
directories of all system volumes in that container.
+ The [Root] object (or security equivalent) of a tree has the Browse
right to all User objects in that tree. This can be blocked by an
Inherited Rights Filter or removed from a container's trustee list
(ACL).
+ The [Root] object has the Read right to the member property of any
Group object.
+ The [Root] object has the Read right to the following properties of
any Volume object: host server name (the server that the physical
volume resides on) and host resource (the physical volume).
+ All User objects have the Read right to their own properties and to
the properties of any profile they belong to. User objects also have
Read and Write rights to their user login script.
For more information, see your UnixWare online documentation.

Installing NetWare clients
This topic provides a basic overview of the procedures for installing a
NetWare client on your network.
Before you can continue setting up your network, you must install a
single client. From a client, you can run either NetWare Administrator or
NETADMIN to start creating objects on your network.
Installing NetWare client software
Before you can install the client software, you must have access to
installation diskettes for NetWare Client(TM) software.
Use the information in ``Making client diskettes'' to make client
diskettes. When you have client installation diskettes available, use the
following information to locate installation procedures for your
particular client operating system:
+ If you want to install NetWare client software for DOS and Windows
clients, refer to ``Installing a DOS and Windows Client''.
+ If you want to install NetWare client software for OS/2 clients, see
``Installing an OS/2 client''
Installing a DOS and Windows Client
DOS and Windows clients share the same installation program. The
installation program runs within the DOS environment. The following list
describes the prerequisites:
+ An IBM PC (or compatible) with an XT, AT, 386, 486, or higher (SX or
DX) processor.
+ A hard drive or a floppy drive and diskette with the following amount
of available disk space:
- DOS only: 1.2MB
- DOS and Windows: 4MB
+ A network board installed in your client computer.
+ Network cabling.
+ (Optional) A computer cabled to the network and running Windows 3.1.
If you are using Windows, close Windows before loading the
installation program. The client installation program modifies some
Windows files that are used when in Windows.
+ At least one UnixWare NetWare Services server installed.
+ The appropriate number of diskettes labeled as specified when you
created the client diskettes.
Complete these steps to install the client:
1. Exit Windows.
2. Insert the NetWare Client for DOS and Windows Installation Diskette
#1 into your diskette drive.
3. Change to the drive containing the installation diskette.
For example, to install from drive A:, enter
A:
4. Load the installation utility by typing
INSTALL
5. Follow the installation instructions on your screen.
Default settings for the NetWare Client software should be sufficient
for an initial connection. You can do a standard installation with
the default settings and configure other options later.
Use the arrow keys to move between the fields. Press <Enter> to
modify a particular field.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Diskette #5 contains additional network drivers. If you
are not prompted to insert the fifth diskette, your system does
not require it.
_________________________________________________________________________
6. Exit the installation utility by pressing the <Esc> key.
7. Reboot your computer.
For your modifications or new installation to take effect, you need
to reboot your computer.
Installing an OS/2 client
Review the following checklist to make sure you are prepared to install
the NetWare Client software for OS/2. The following list describes the
prerequisites:
+ An IBM PC (or compatible) with a 386 or 486 (SX or DX) processor. OS/2
v2.x operates only with 386 (SX and DX) processors and above because
of its 32-bit architecture.
+ A hard disk with 4.5MB of storage.
+ A network board installed in your client computer.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE If you specify an interrupt for the network board that is
already being used by another device, you can still install the
network board, but the network software will not run
successfully.
_________________________________________________________________________
+ Network cabling.
+ At least one UnixWare NetWare Services server installed.
+ The appropriate number of diskettes labeled as specified when you
created the client diskettes.
Complete these steps to install the client:
1. Start the OS/2 client and open an OS/2 full screen or window.
2. Insert the WSOS2_1 diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Change to the drive where you inserted the diskette and enter
INSTALL
4. From the Installation menu, select ``Requester on Client''.
5. Follow the screen prompts and the online help to finish installing
the Requester.
Because this computer is being installed to get you started with the
network setup, you can do a standard installation with the default
settings and configure other options later.
During installation, a directory called NETWARE is created for the
Requester files on the drive you booted OS/2 from.
6. Exit the installation program by selecting ``Exit'' from the
Installation menu.
7. Remove the diskette from the drive, and then select the OS/2 shutdown
feature to reboot the computer.
For your modifications or new installation to take effect, you need
to reboot your computer.
Chapter 7
Installing NetWare/IP
This topic provides installation and configuration of NetWare/IP (NWIP),
which enables users of NetWare servers and clients to use TCP/IP as their
transport protocol.
NWIP can coexist with IPX/SPX on the standard NetWare network, Any system
can be configured to use the NWIP and IPX/SPX stacks simultaneously.
For a description of the NWIP protocol, see your UnixWare online
documentation.
Installation
NetWare/IP is installed automatically as a part of the ``nwnet'' package,
but it is not selected as the default transport protocol of choice. You
must also install the ``inet'' package to be able to use the TCP/IP
protocol stack. This is required so that IPX/SPX can be tunneled over
UDP/IP.
Before NetWare/IP can be used, you must use the Network Configuration
Manager in Configuring LAN connections to configure TCP/IP over the
network interface(s), and then to configure IPX/SPX over TCP/IP. See
your UnixWare online documentation for a description of the NWIP
configuration parameters.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE Only root or the owner of the system can use the Network
Configuration Manager.
_________________________________________________________________________
Once NetWare/IP has been installed and configured, the system must be
rebooted for the changes to become effective.
Configuration
NWIP configuration can be carried out using the Network Configuration
Manager. See your UnixWare online documentation for a description of the
NWIP configuration parameters.
_________________________________________________________________________
NOTE NWIP does not function as a forwarding gateway. While all of
the SAP/RIP information received from the IPX stack will not yet be
sent to the NWIP database, all of the SAP/RIP information received
from the NWIP database will be forwarded to the IPX side.
_________________________________________________________________________
Deconfiguration
To deconfigure NWIP, use the Network Configuration Manager to remove
IPX/SPX from over TCP/IP.
The system must be rebooted for the changes to take effect.
Logging and tracing
The NWIP daemon logs all of its activities, warnings and errors in the
log file nwipd.log in the standard log directory, /var/adm/log. These are
also all displayed on the console.
Four levels of message are logged by the daemon:
+ ERROR
+ WARNING
+ INFO
+ DEBUG
The command line switch can be used for setting the level of messages to
be logged. When logging to the file, the existing log file is renamed to
nwipd.log.old after a pre-determined number (300) lines have been
accumulated, and a new log file created for subsequent lines. This
prevents the log file from growing too large.
Messages logged to the file have the following format:
Label: Date: Type: Message
Label always reads ``UX:nwipd'', Date gives the date and time at which
the message was generated and Type is one of ERROR, WARNING or INFO
(DEBUG is logged as type INFO).
The following are examples of logged messages. All messages are read from
message catalogs, and are thereby locale-dependent.
UX:nwipd: Fri Aug 6 12:09:43 1997: ERROR: No device
configured (lan_1_adapter) for NW/IP
UX:nwipd: Fri Aug 6 12:09:43 1997: ERROR: Exiting with
error code 1
