Try applying sp2, and there is also a post sp2 update. I believe that the update resolves some utilization problems.

Are you sure the drive has failed? The on-line spares usually do not light up until they actually come into the array. They will briefly light up during POST. Insight manager (available on SmartStart CDs or at Compaq. I like ver.5.5 better than ver 7, but they're pushing 7 ) can tell you the...

The integrated controller is a pretty basic controller and not real speedy. We quit using them here in favor of more powerful ones that have loads of cache. I'm not sure what the specs on them are, but that speed is about what we saw here. You might want to look at the SMART 5300 controllers.

Your back-up software determines a lot of that. I can overwrite an NLM with ArcServe without a problem. The server will be fine, and when you reboot, the new NLMs will load. I don't know about BE, but I assume that you can do the same. If you don't need to restore, don't. You always run the...

Your question has a number of answers, depending on how you have your system configured. I assume that the server is now up and running. The simplest answer is go ahead and restore it. You will need to restore if you install anything except basic Netware on the volume. This includes anything...

Assuming your directory will fit on a floppy, load NWCONFIG> DIRECTORY OPTIONS> DIRECTORY BACKUP AND RESTORE OPTIONS> SAVE LOCAL NDS INFORMATION. This will save the directory that lives on the server you are doing the back up on. You can choose where to save the file, either to a floppy or to...

I run DSREPAIR on some part of my network daily, and we actually recommend that all our managers run it once a week, so it's not a bad idea. However, that said, I do not like the unattended option. I do not think it does all that needs doing. I've been told much the same from Novell. I much...

I'm digging back into my memory here, since I havent used a DOS client for at least 5 years but as I recall, after you load the client, you are given a basic connection to the PUBLIC and LOGIN directories. At that point, you need to authenticate to the server. Try entering LOGIN after you are...

C1 sucks. It has trouble communicating with the servers all the time. A couple of suggestions to make it better when you have to use it: Install it on the workstation, and use version 1.3.3 with all the service packs and related patches. Your problem is not the DS or the server, it is the way C1...

The best suggestion I have is- Don't. If you have to have W2K, put up another box and add nds to it or use the W2K box for apps and keep NW for file storage.

I'm with Lad. Look to the WAN link. Get the provider to look at it, and even monitor it for a while.

Bring the schema in from a server in another tree before upgrading. Build a new server in a dummy tree, import the schema into your production tree. Remove NDS from the dummy and install it into the production tree. Make it a R/W of ROOT. let it sync over the weekend. Promote to master. Let it...

I just ran into that on a test server. Does it get better if you go ahead and log into the BackupExec console on the server? There are several patches at veritas. I ended up installing a new build, bringing it to build #4174.

ArcServe is not as bad as you think, but try Veritas BackUp Exec, www.veritas.com. I just installed a demo, and it installed easily, found the oddball drive I was using, and easily configured to run a back-up. Seems to be a pretty good product.

Also Control + esc will give a menu. Select item # 1, press enter and you're at the console again. Why do you want to go the W2K from the Novell system? The Novell is more stable and secure. It is more reliable, (I reboot at least one of our W2K weekly, while I have some netware boxes that have...

Leslie- While it's been a couple of years since I have done anything with 4.11, I don't recall that it needs or uses NICI. I don't even have a 4 box left to check. When we upgraded to 5 and again to 6, our biggest concern was the schema. What Novell consulting had us do was bring the new...

"VERSION" works, too.

All you have to do is press <ENTER>, then you will be prompted to continue. Be sure to highlight &quot;NO&quot;, then press enter. Then try either Modify Disk Partitions or Netware volume options. Keep in mind that spanning volumes or partitions across different disks is not a good idea. (Unless...

Chewie and I posted at the same time. He raised a good point that I hadn't considered. Your managment abilities will be very limited with just IPX. You'll need some IP for management.

If you have a small network, with no WAN links or links to the outside, IPX is OK. However, NW6 is really made to use IP, and communications are better with IP. The same goes if you need to talk to an NT (or 2000) network. Post a little more info about what your network looks like, and I'm sure...
