Quick update as I've had to turn my attention to the other things that got left on Mon & Tues...
The drivers are different, in that they are updated ones from Adaptec. However, I think you might be right in your assessment.
I did have a look at INSTALL.NLM yesterday and from what I remember...
Hi Jock,
I'm running the backup on VOL1 and SYS at the moment and I won't be touching it until I know I've got that nice and safe. I also want to do some testing to see if I can run the legacy system from an NT server.
Don't know whether I'm just being naively optimistic here, but the server...
Unfortunately for me, as Murphy's law would dictate, the backups don't appear to have been working properly for some time now.
However, the most important stuff is on Vol1 and I'll do a full backup of that tonight. It's a legacy system which I really want to move off Novell so I've got an...
MOUNT VOL2 (I'm assuming that is the name of the second volume). It sounds like it is just not mounted."
OK, tried that and I get the messages:-
Volume VOL2 is missing segment 0
Volume VOL2 first segment (1) does not start at block 0
Definition for sync 1 of volume VOL2 removed
Definition for...
Just a bit more information... when I look at the Disk Information on the Console Monitor, it lists all four drives and shows their disk sizes.
However, only the first one shows as having partitions.
Good News :D and Bad News :(
I followed what you said and found the driver settings for the HP board had been commented out in the AUTOEXEC.NCF, so I 'uncommented' them and after a bit of fiddling, rebooted the server and have successfully connected to it! YIPPEE!!!
Now the bad news.... When...
I've managed to get my firm's old Netware 4.11 server up and running after changing the motherboard, but the original board had an RJ45 socket onboard, whereas its replacement doesn't, so I'm trying to install an old network card.
There was already an old HP card plugged into the ISA slot of...
Hallelujah!!! :D
OK, after doing a bit of digging, I discovered that the drivers I was using were quite old and that the SLOT Number wasn't necessary if you had the latest drivers, so I downloaded and installed them, and after taking out the SLOT Numbers from the STARTUP.NCF, it booted up...
OK, didn't make any difference, so I went into the SCSI BIOS settings and the Host Adapter SCSI ID is set to 7 - would that make any difference? I'm not going to change anything just yet.
Cheers for your help Jock! :)
OK, done that, but the files MONITOR.NLM, CONFIG.NCF & AUTOEXEC.NCF aren't there.
C:\NWSERVER is the directory where the SERVER files are kept.
However, there is a STARTUP.NCF. Here's the contents:-
LOAD C:\NWSERVER\PX411.NLM
SET RESERVED BUFFERS BELOW 16 MEG=200
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE...
Thanks for your help Jock. I can't do a DIR on the C: drive and I don't know how to pause the screen messages... do you know how to do this? It scrolls off too quickly for me to read the messages. The other potential issues might be that the processor is now a PII 400 whereas it was a PII...
I have 4 SCSI drives attached to an Adaptec driver card. When I first set this up, it worked fine, so I can't see what might cause the problem, but I'll explain anyhow...
4 SCSA drives,
0 - C: (80h)
1 - D: (81h)
2 - (82h)
3 - (83h)
According to the physical labels on the drives themselves...
Thanks Jock.
I did MOUNT SYS and the error I get is :-
There are no accessible disk drives with NetWare partitions
Check to see that the needed disk drives have been loaded, etc
The drives all listed on the SCSI test.. I've got a C: and a D: drive and then mirror drives of them. The only...
Firstly, I must confess that I'm completely clueless when it comes to Novell. I joined my company about 4 yrs ago and they've had this Novell 4.11 server running a legacy system that, apart from having to reboot it ocassionally, hasn't given me too much grief. However, I came in today (Monday)...
