NetWare 5: At Your Command 3

ECG087.0998

We Have Lift Off!

Finally! It’s here. Novell has successfully launched its high-flying, revolutionary OS, NetWare 5.

With NetWare 5, Novell offers some pretty cool extras, like “pure” IP that exemplifies Novell’s

new strategic direction and commitment to the Internet. NetWare 5 was also designed to be

closer, or integrated, with hardware, and most optimally with the equipment it’s most familiar

with—Compaq equipment, of course. This closeness with hardware results in quicker, more

reliable installations and configurations; powerful debugging tools; dynamic programming with

NLMs (NetWare Loadable Modules); and a higher performing intranet. It’s a network

administrator’s dream.

Unlike some products that have been hyped beyond their capabilities, NetWare 5 is already

attaining its goals and objectives, achieving higher performance records than imagined, and

receiving even more kudos than expected. And as Compaq and Novell engineers continue to

aggressively test NetWare 5, new short cuts and enhanced command capabilities are surfacing

daily. So, we’ve gathered the best of the lot, arranged them by software and hardware, and now

pass them on to our enterprise buddies. It’s your turn to be in the controller’s seat.

To help you find the exact tip or enhanced command that you want, the Hardware and Software

sections have been subdivided into appropriate sub-categories. Since many of the tips fall into

more than one topic or category, we have included reference statements to steer you in the right

direction. To get the most from this paper, first skim this “high-flying”command manual from

front to back, then return to those areas that offer you and your system the greatest benefits. Fact

is, every tip and trick included will decrease your learning curve and boost system productivity.

This document, however, in no way attempts to list all the NetWare 5 commands and intricacies;

rather consider it a documentation upgrade, or booster-supplement, to other NetWare 5 manuals

and documentation. As our engineers and field support teams uncover other pertinent “tricks”

and hot tips, this document will be upgraded and available on the Internet. So keep your eyes

peeled for updates. Until then, enjoy these tidbits and take command of your operations.

Software Tips and Commands

Compaq and Novell continue their winning partnership with the release of NetWare 5 and all its

high-tech, out-of-this-world features—such as, ConsoleOne, Novell Directory Services, and

Novell Storage Services. In NetWare 4.11, Novell had introduced the NetWare Peripheral

Architecture (NWPA) that revolutionized the driver model and now makes upgrading from a

NetWare 4.x environment to a NetWare 5 environment more seamless and less painful. So, if

you’ve been thinking of updating your system, now’s the time. That’s right! In fact, installing

your new NetWare can even be exciting. You just have to pick the right software and hardware,

and then make it soar.

If you’re reading this, you most likely have already chosen the NetWare 5/Compaq-server

platform. Good choice. Now use the tips that follow—especially those focused on Compaq

SmartStart and Management CD-ROMs—to fuel your enterprise network.

General NetWare 5 Software Tips

Did you know that a free, DOS-like shell comes with NetWare 5, as well as NetWare 4.11

(intraNetWare)? Sure does. To enable the DOS-like shell for NetWare 5, just enter the

NETBASIC command. Then enter SHELL at the command prompt. Now you can immediately

NetWare 5: At Your Command 4

ECG087.0998

use NetBasic to browse file systems and copy files. The best part is this: you can use NetBasic

while the server is still up. For another tip on file management, refer to section “Compaq File

Management Utility for NetWare.”

Did you know that the 64-bit Novell Storage Services (NSS) won’t recognize an older 12-bit FAT

system? That’s right. Truly a powerful, indexed-storage solution, NSS shatters current file

limitations and remount times. So, naturally, it requires a more powerful, later model engine, like

(1) Caldera 7.02 or later, (2) MS-DOS 6 or later, or (3) Novell DOS 7 (NDOS7) or later. Simply

put: only 16-bit FAT systems can be used with NetWare 5. Maybe that’s one of the reasons that

Novell has conveniently included Caldera 7.02 (formerly called NDOS7) on its NetWare 5 CD-

ROM.

Did you know that…

•the REMOVE DOS command is no longer available?

•the DOWN command replaces EXIT?

•NWCONFIG.NLM replaces INSTALL.NLM?

•to boot the NetWare 5 Server CD-ROM, Compaq servers require either a ROM BIOS dated

on or after 7/9/98 or the CPQBOOT.EXE SoftPaq?

Well, now you know. In fact, here are more details on the above items.

With server systems growing so quickly, the space occupied by DOS in memory becomes

negligible. Most of you have probably never even worried about removing DOS to free up

memory. That could be why the REMOVE DOS command is no longer a necessity and no longer

available. Think simplicity and one less command to remember.

Novell also simplified other areas. For NetWare 5, Novell combined the former DOWN and

EXIT command functions into just one command: DOWN. The DOWN command’s job

description now includes three functions: (1) disconnecting the server from its clients, (2)

unloading NetWare 5, and (3) returning you to the DOS prompt. Slick and fast! And not to worry

because any events formerly triggered by the retired EXIT event will still occur when now using

just the DOWN command.

But let’s not worry about downing the server until we get it up and running. If you can’t seem to

start (boot) the NetWare 5 Server CD-ROM from your Compaq server, check the ROM BIOS

date. If the date is prior to 7/9/98 you need to take a slight detour. You must either update your

ROM BIOS or use CPQBOOT.EXE. Decisions. Decisions.

Choice #1: Update your system with the latest version of the ROM BIOS, available on

the SmartStart CD-ROM mentioned in the next section as well as on the Compaq

website.

Choice #2: If your server doesn’t have a BIOS update or flashing the BIOS is not

convenient, use the file CPQBOOT.EXE to create a floppy diskette that will enable you to

boot the NetWare 5 Server CD-ROM and begin the installation. CPQBOOT.EXE can be

found on the NetWare 5 Server CD-ROM (in \INSTALL) and requires one blank, non-

write-protected floppy diskette to create the bootable diskette. There’s just a

little catch with this second choice: Since CPQBOOT.EXE writes an image

file to the diskette, any data on the floppy will be overwritten.

The choice is yours.

Remember to use a blank

diskette.

NetWare 5: At Your Command 5

ECG087.0998

Here are a few more generic NetWare 5 commands and tips that you may not know off the top of

your head. They are sure to optimize your new OS and impress your boss.

•If updated drivers and components become available after your NetWare 5 purchase but

before installation, you can still use the updated versions rather than the ones that came with

NetWare 5. Just place the new versions in C:\NWUPDATE; then run INSTALL.BAT, as

usual. Running INSTALL.BAT will first check this directory for any newer versions of drivers

and system components and then automatically replace the older versions.

•To make your NetWare 5 installation a breeze, begin with Compaq SmartStart software.

Don’t wait until later and wished you had. If you start off on the right foot, components—

such as, the hardware agents, server maintenance utilities, and Compaq Support Software for

Novell Products (Novell SSD)—will be seamlessly integrated with your NetWare 5 install.

For more information on SmartStart, look at section “Compaq Value-Added Software for

NetWare 5.”

•To switch between applications, just press Ctrl+Esc. This quick click (easier done than said)

brings up the Task Manager that aids in application switching. Whenever you want to return

to the system console, just click Ctrl+Esc, then Esc once more. Also refer to the section

“Using Java Applications with NetWare 5.”

•To use the free Novell LAN Workplace for DOS, check out the

NetWare Client CD-ROM in \PRODUCTS\DOSWin32. LAN Workplace

is a DOS-based TCP/IP stack used to communicate with the server from a DOS or Windows

3.x-based client.

•Don’t like Novell’s splash screen, or just tired of seeing it today? Remember, you’re in

command of your network. Here are your options:

•To prevent the Novell splash screen from appearing, you can create an empty text file

called SHOWLOGO.NLM and save it in C:\NWSERVER.

•If you like simplicity and simple keystrokes, just type SERVER -NL at the DOS prompt

when starting the server; the server obeys without any back talk and permanently

prevents the splash screen from appearing.

•Love the Novell splash screen? Well, when it’s your turn to start the server, just type

SERVER –L, which forces the server to display the splash screen from then on.

•And since we’re now discussing the visual aesthetics of your server, we have some good

news and some bad news about the “Snakes” screensaver. If you’re a former NetWare 3.x or

4.x user, you won’t find your wriggily, mobile snakes in NetWare 5’s MONITOR.NLM.

However, to activate those reptiles, you won’t have to perform two separate functions:

(1) locking the console and (2) activating your screensaver. To do both functions in one

command, simply enter SCRSAVER ACTIVATE. Voila! Snakes. (Like most screen savers,

SCRSAVER can also be configured to activate automatically, locking the console at the same

time.)

•To deactivate the screen saver and unlock the console, use your password and log in as the

administrator. Then enter UNLOAD SCRSAVER.

Now we’ll get back to some configuration tips.

To prevent the NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NWPA) from autoloading drivers, use the

NWPA \NALOAD command in the STARTUP.NCF file. Without autoload, the system will load

only the custom device modules (CDMs) that are manually loaded in the STARTUP.NCF file. By

Here comes a great freebie!

NetWare 5: At Your Command 6

ECG087.0998

manually loading CDMs, you can be certain that a specific value-added feature provided by the

manufacturer is available. If you don’t disable autoload, NetWare 5 will merrily chug along and

load the default CDMs for all devices detected by NWPA as well as those CDMs that are

manually loaded.

Some issues, however, have been found with devices where only the manufacturer provided

CDMs should have been used, but other default CDMs had been loaded. Specifically, when using

a SCSI tape drive to make a backup, you should use the CDM that is recommended by the backup

application manufacturer.

Note: When using NWTAPE.CDM, any applications that use Advanced SCSI programming

Interface (ASPI) will not work properly; instead, to make your backup, you should use the

SBACKUP program provided with NetWare 5.

To configure the virtual memory usage for NetWare 5, enter the SWAP command at the console.

You would think that this command immediately swapped some memory. You might even be a

little hesitant to use it. No horror stories with this one. SWAP simply produces a complete list of

commands that allow you to take control and configure the virtual memory for your server.

A word of caution: any programs that make use of virtual memory will be

affected by these settings.

Troubleshooting server issues could take a lot of time. Wouldn’t you like to have your system’s

configuration specifics right at your fingertips? Well, Novell thought you would and,

consequently, added two new command options just for this purpose. The DISPLAY

ENVIRONMENT command lists all your system’s configuration default (straight-from-the-

factory) parameters. To see what you’ve tweaked since the server landed, type DISPLAY

MODIFIED ENVIRONMENT. Usually it’s a much smaller list.

Here you have it: the scoop on those NLMs.

NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) are powerful code packages, or programs, that give you

more control of your system. If you really want to make your system fly, learn which ones exist

and how to use them. For simplicity, in NetWare 5 Novell even removed the LOAD command so

you can save some keystrokes. To launch NLMs without the LOAD command, simply enter the

module name. (In a year’s time this saves a lot of keystrokes.)

•To check if a specific module has been loaded, enter the MODULES command, followed by

the name of the module: [MODULE_NAME]. Wildcards are allowed when searching for a

particular module. If you forget the module’s name, you can just enter MODULES. You can

then view the list of every NLM that has been loaded since the server started.

•Some NLMs are contained inside the SERVER.EXE file. These NLMs are called Bound-In

and are loaded in a predetermined order when the server is started.

•JAR.NLM, TAR.NLM, and ZIP.NLM are included with NetWare 5 and give you command-

line access to compression utilities. There is no need to download the files separately.

For more NLM tips, refer to section “Compaq Value-Added Server Tips.”

Let’s clarify the CSET and SET commands.

Well, this is a great tip for those of us who can’t remember more than

three items in a row.

To manipulate OS environment parameters on the fly, without having to

memorize all their names, use the CSET [CLASS] console command. A list of [CLASS]

Look before you leap!

Don’t stop yet! Stay-tuned for one

of the top tips so far.

NetWare 5: At Your Command 7

ECG087.0998

parameters will pop onto the screen. CSET will then walk through each variable in the class. No

more boring memorization games or scratching parameters on small sheets of paper that always

disappear when you need them. Isn’t that great? We think so.

After examining the parameters, you can proceed as usual with the SET command. Two tips

about SET:

•SET parameters are stored in the NETWARE CONFIGURATION file and don’t need to be

added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF or STARTUP.NCF files.

•The SET command still works for altering any common parameters that are changed often.

MONITOR.NLM also has the ability to modify your SET parameters. In

the old NetWare 4.x days, you used the SERVMAN utility. However,

MONITOR.NLM is more convenient. Just use these three simple steps:

(1) Start MONITOR.NLM.

(2) Select the last choice in the menu listing.

(3) Select the desired parameter from the list.

IMPORTANT: MONITOR.NLM must be loaded as the last NLM in the AUTOEXEC.NCF.

This ensures an accurate read of the configured network server information. If changes are made

to the console, unload MONITOR.NLM and reload after the change has been made.

We hope you have enjoyed the first section of general NetWare 5 tips and commands. And we

hope that installing and maintaining your system will be a little easier. But don’t hop out of your

controller seat just yet. There are many more commands and tips that follow.

Compaq Value-Add Software Tips

SmartStart and Support Software CD-ROM for Compaq Server Products

Good news! If you can remember the long name of this compact disc, you‘re halfway to grasping

its powerful applications. The other half is even easier. Just sign up for the Compaq SmartStart

subscription service (Product No. 195654-001); it’s such a vital link to our customers. (Need the

web address? Read a little further.)

In order to ensure that Compaq servers are equipped with the latest features and drivers, the

SmartStart and Support Software for Compaq Server Products is periodically released, not on a

calendar system, but as new products and files become available. Each disc contains BIOS

updates; the latest version of value-added drivers; powerful, custom NLMs; and firmware

updates. More specifically, SmartStart contains the following programs for NetWare/Compaq

systems:

•Compaq Support Software for Novell Products (Novell SSD) – NetWare drivers, NLMs,

utilities, patches, and information for enhancing NetWare 5 on Compaq systems.

•Novell Support Pack – Updates for all services contained in the NetWare box. Features an

improved installation, available through NWCONFIG.NLM.

•Compaq System Configuration Utility – Configurations for the server and its expansion

boards. Automatically allocates system resources—such as, interrupts, DMA channels,

memory, and I/O ports—among the installed expansion boards.

A great way to learn all those

NetWare settings.

NetWare 5: At Your Command 8

ECG087.0998

•Compaq Array Configuration Utility – Setup program for Compaq array controllers.

Configures physical drives attached to the controller into arrays and logical drives that the OS

uses.

•Compaq Diagnostics Systems ROMPaq – ROM BIOS updates for Compaq ProSignia and

ProLiant servers.

To obtain your can’t-live-without-it subscription to the SmartStart CD-ROM program, visit our

website: http://www.compaq.com/smartstart.html. If you already have your CD-ROM and want

to immediately reap benefits, just follow the command sequence that follows:

•To install components of the SmartStart CD-ROM, insert the disk and mount the drive. The

CD-ROM drive may be mounted either as a DOS drive or a NetWare volume.

IMPORTANT: The method of mounting is important because the path to the CD-ROM is

needed to run the installation. If the drive was mounted using the DOS driver, the CD-ROM drive

will be accessed as a drive letter, for example, D: However, if the drive was mounted as a

volume, then the system will use the volume label assigned to the CD-ROM drive, for example,

CPQSMST400:

Understand all that? Good! Because these instructions apply whenever you need to access

information or install software from a compact disc. Consequently, to save space and resources,

we’ll not repeat the details each time. Let’s continue.

•Run NWCONFIG on the server, and select Product Options.

•Since the CD-ROM contains a newer version than the installation is aware of, you should

select Products Not Listed.

•Press F3 to indicate the path to the CD-ROM. The path will appear as follows, where

[VOL_NAME] is either the volume name or drive letter that refers to location of the

SmartStart CD-ROM.

•[VOL_NAME]:\CPQSUPSW\NSSD installs the latest Compaq device drivers.

•[VOL_NAME]:\IWSPACK\ENGLISH installs the intraNetWare Novell Support Pack.

•[VOL_NAME]:\NW5PACK\ENGLISH will install the new NetWare 5 Novell Support

Pack when available. (Projected availability date: First Quarter 99.)

•Use CPQNSSU.NLM to install Novell SSD v5.01 across the network. By independently

changing the source and destination from the installer menu, the Novell SSD can be installed

from any server on the network to any other server without requiring the administrator to be

at either location. The Novell SSD is also available from the Compaq website.

Compaq Management CD-ROM

Use the Compaq Management CD-ROM to easily manage your Compaq

servers, workstations, desktops, and portables. In other words, this disc

explains how to get the most performance from your Compaq hardware.

Here’s another super freebie!

Contents include

•Compaq Insight Manager – Industry-leading application for efficiently managing network

desktops and servers.

•Compaq Insight Management Server Agents – Data collection and repository tool that

provides in-depth subsystem information concerning statuses and faults on Compaq servers,

workstations, desktops, and portables.

•Compaq Survey Utility – Enhanced serviceability tool that delivers on-line configuration

capture and comparison.

•Systems Management Toolkit – Integration tool that unifies third-party management

products with Compaq Insight Manager.

•Diskette Builder Management – Utility that automates the creation of installation diskettes

for products on this management disc.

For more information about Compaq Server Management, in particular, Compaq Insight

Manager, visit our website: http://www.compaq.com. If you already have your copy of the

Management CD-ROM, then let’s waste no time.

To install and mount the disc…. Do you remember? For information on mounting the CD-ROM,

look back at the IMPORTANT tip under the SmartStart install.

•To install the Compaq Insight Management Server Agents and update all Agents in memory

and on the hard drive, enter

[VOL_NAME]:\AGENTS\NETWARE\ENG\COMPAQ\CPQAGIN.NLM.

•To install the Compaq Survey Utility, enter [VOL_NAME]:\SURVEY\NETWARE\ENG\

SINSTALL.NLM. Do you want the utility to automatically load during server startup and

perform its system logging? Use the option SINSTALL –IAUTO_INST. In fact, when you

use this option, the utility will automatically perform system logging every Wednesday at

noon.

In both cases, [VOL_NAME] is either the volume name or drive letter that refers to the CD-ROM

drive.

Compaq File Management Utility for NetWare (CPQFM.NLM)

CPQFM.NLM incorporates many common commands in a familiar, graphical, menu-driven

interface. Not only a timesaver, it’s free. That’s right. Unlike many commercial products that

offer less functionality, CPQFM.NLM is available free-of-charge from the Compaq and Novell

Power Resource Paq: the snazzy Compaq and Novell Partnership CD-ROM with the bolt of

lightening on the cover and lots of multi-media information packed inside. By the way, you can

order the resource kit from their Partnership website: http://www.compaq.com/partners/novell.

What an offer! Compaq is providing you access to the same homegrown tools that we use in our

labs, just in case you need to do some of the fun stuff we do. But remember: these are just lab

tools and not production products. They’re only intended for use in a lab environment.

Now, let’s get back to the management utility. By using CPQFM.NLM,

you can save precious time when you (1) search for files, (2) change file

attributes, (3) edit files, (4) get file version and date information, and (5)

delete files and directories. Want to know more?

If you haven’t already done so,

you really need to check out the

Compaq and Novell Power

Resource Paq.

NetWare 5: At Your Command 10

ECG087.0998

•To launch any NLM or to connect to remote servers for file manipulations, this management

utility’s commands are extended and also apply to the remote file system.

•To view all version and date information for a specific CDM, DSK, HAM (Host Adapter

Module), LAN, NLM, or PSM (Platform Support Module) file, just highlight the file and press

Enter.

•To delete the highlighted file or directory tree, just press Del.

•To view a menu of appropriate file or directory commands and functions, highlight the file or

directory and press Tab (the majority of CPQFM.NLM functions are under the Tab menu).

Using Novell Directory Services (NDS) with NetWare 5

A well-integrated family of directory-based services, NDS helps you to centrally manage user

access privileges and security across the Internet and your enterprise intranets and extranets. Of

prime importance, it provides proxy, firewall, and virtual private network services. And, even if

you don’t install NetWare 5, you can use this great directory service on most networking systems.

But you probably already know all that.

What you might not know is that to install NDS, as well as NetWare 5 itself, you must have a

Network Interface Controller (NIC) already installed with the proper driver. Without a functional

NIC, your NDS installation is doomed for failure. So plan ahead for this installation.

Using the XWindows GUI with NetWare 5

To add items to the XWindows menu, edit SYS:JAVA\NWGFX\

FVWM2\FVW2RC5XX. This file contains menus and menu items

displayed when the Novell button is pushed. The syntax of menu items is

a little tricky, but there are many examples in the file itself. With some experimenting you should

be able to launch your favorite programs with only a few clicks on the XWindows menu.

Note: Just to be safe, we recommend that you first make a backup of a working FVW2RC5XX.

To prevent XWindows from loading at startup, remark, or comment out, the STARTX.NCF line

from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file by adding REM or (#) or (;) to the beginning of the line.

To kill the XWindows GUI and immediately return to the command prompt, press and hold the

Ctrl and Alt keys while simultaneously pressing the Backspace key.

Think about this last XWindows GUI tip for a minute. The ability to easily load and unload the

GUI while the system keeps churning away is a tremendous boost to your systems’ performance.

Using ConsoleOne with NetWare 5

Whew! There’s a lot of confusion with ConsoleOne, the ConsoleOne GUI, the Java Console, the

Java GUI, the Java X-GUI, and the XWindows GUI. Maybe it’s because Java is the buzzword of

the Internet, and we all love to drop those buzzwords amongst our Internet buddies. Right? GUI is

also a great buzzword. And face facts, GUI just sounds like state-of-the-art computerese.

However, we often misuse this terminology until it becomes an imbedded definitions in our

personal technology database. So let’s clear the air and start speaking the same lingo.

First of all, ConsoleOne is Novell’s management application software—written in Java—that

brings data closer to the user with no loss of control. Java is an Internet–standard programming

Do you have any other advice in

this area? It looks a little scrawny.
