Network Settings
The StorPoint NAS emulates both a 4.x NDS server and a NetWare 3.x
bindery server. It also supports NetWare/IP. In NetWare 5
environments, the StorPoint NAS can be integrated as any other 4.10
server accessed via IPX or NetWare/IP.
If your network supports TCP/IP, you can use the Administration Web
pages to configure the StorPoint NAS.
NetWare Server
Name
The default NetWare server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>_NW, where
<nnnnnn> are the last six digits of the StorPoint NAS serial number.
This is the name that will be presented to the NetWare clients on the
network. You can change that name by editing the NetWare Server
Name parameter. It can be useful to choose a more descriptive name,
e.g. in order to indicate where the unit is located.
Installation as an
NDS Server
If used as an NDS server, the StorPoint NAS must first be installed in
the NDS tree. The most convenient way to do this is using the
installation wizard available from the StorPoint NAS Web interface, see
“
However, if you do not have TCP/IP, you must use a text editor and
edit the configuration file manually. Refer to “
Requirements
When installing the first StorPoint NAS into the NDS tree, it is
recommended that you use an account with Supervisor rights to the
[Root] of the tree. This means that the user specified in the NDS
Admin Name parameter must have Supervisor access rights.
The StorPoint NAS will extend the NDS Schema with a new attribute
called
AXIS:SPcd:rights
which will be added to the NDS Server
object class. The extension is needed for storing configuration data. The
StorPoint NAS also becomes easier to administrate and more fault
tolerant to changes in your NDS tree.
The new attribute will not affect the operation of your NetWare servers.
Notes:
❏
Adding the schema extension requires Supervisor rights to the
[Root] object of the NDS directory tree.
