VisionFS README
For further information about VisionFS(TM) on UnixWare(r) 7 from SCO(r),
see File and Print Services for Windows clients through VisionFS in
SCOhelp on the UNIX(r) server.
To view SCOhelp documentation from the Windows client, open an HTML
browser and access:
http://server:457
Replace server with the name of the UNIX server.
The manual Introducing SCO VisionFS is available as a PDF file in the
server's visiontools share in the docs subdirectory and is accessible
with an Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) reader. Because this manual is not
platform-specific, please refer to SCOhelp documentation for
installation, licensing, and other information specific to the operating
system.
Here is the latest information for VisionFS Version 2.01:
+ New features with VisionFS Version 2.01
+ NetBIOS conflict with VisionFS and Advanced Server
+ VisionFS and Vision97
+ Installation directory
+ TermLite
+ Known limitations
New features with VisionFS Version 2.01
+ Authenticate users on Windows NT or VisionFS servers
VisionFS can authenticate users on a Windows NT server before they
access the VisionFS server. This provides better integration with
your existing Windows NT servers.
Alternatively, you can authenticate users on a different VisionFS
server. If you have a number of VisionFS servers on your network, you
can use just one of them to authenticate all users. This provides
centralized password storage for all your VisionFS servers.
+ Print to shared printers from UNIX
The versatile visionfs print command lets you use shared printers on
your network from the UNIX command line.
+ New licensing method
Prior to Version 2.01, VisionFS used the Vision License Services from
Vision97 and required a VisionFS license separate from the operating
system.
VisionFS provided with UnixWare uses the SCO License Manager. By
default, VisionFS accepts connections from a number of client
computers equal to the number of user logins licensed for the UNIX
operating system. VisionFS uses its own license pool and will not
reduce the number of UNIX shell logins or network logins allowed. No
special VisionFS licensing is needed.
NetBIOS conflict with VisionFS and Advanced Server
VisionFS and Advanced Server cannot run concurrently over NetBIOS on the
same server because of port conflicts. If Advanced Server is running,
VisionFS will not start and will give errors about port conflicts.
To allow VisionFS to start, you must stop Advanced Server from running
over NetBIOS. For details, see ``Can't start server'' in VisionFS
troubleshooting in SCOhelp on the UNIX server.
VisionFS and Vision97
SCO Vision97 is a suite of Windows-to-UNIX integration products, designed
to bring the benefits of the new Internet computing model to Windows PC
users.
Vision97 includes VisionFS for file and print sharing. Because VisionFS
is part of both Vision97 and UnixWare and might be at different version
levels in each product, you need to be careful when installing.
You can easily install any other Vision97 product, but do not install the
VisionFS from Vision97 until you check the latest documentation and the
version compatibilities.
If you install the version of VisionFS from Vision97, licensing will no
longer work properly. You can correct this by re-installing VisionFS
from the UnixWare CD-ROM. See ``Installing VisionFS'' in SCOhelp on the
UNIX server.
Installation directory
By default, the VisionFS software package provided with UnixWare installs
into the directory /usr/vision.
If the installation software detects an older version of VisionFS on your
UnixWare system (even if it's not in the default installation directory),
an automatic upgrade will take place. The upgrade replaces the older
version in the same directory in which it was found.
TermLite
SCO TermLite is the simple, lightweight Windows terminal emulator from
SCO. It provides fast emulation of SCO ANSI and VT320 terminals.
TermLite has a single executable design that makes it ideal for locating
centrally on a server, providing a zero-footprint on the client.
TermLite is accessible through the VisionFS visiontools share on the
Windows client. Run TermLite directly from the visiontools share by
opening the TermLite folder and double-clicking termlite.exe.
For more information, run TermLite to see Windows Help.
Alternatively, TermLite can be installed locally on the Windows client,
taking up less than 1MB of disk space. To install a pre-licensed version
of TermLite on the local hard drive of the Windows client, double-click
setup.exe directly from the TermLite folder. Do not copy the setup
program to another directory for installation -- if you do, the
installation will not be licensed properly.
Known limitations
Licensing status
The visionfs status command always displays the licensing mode as
``UnixWare 7'' even when the VisionFS server is configured to use the
Vision License Server.
