7.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x
Novell's NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
and Bindery Services Emulation. For NDS, see section
7.4 on page 112 . These
services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Network Card may
be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate
under NDS (section
7.3). When configured under NDS, the Network Card will also
service older file servers operating in bindery mode.
Note: If the Network Card is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services mode
is not running, the Network Card can not find its file servers, and the status page
indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.
7.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context
Before installing the Network Card on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server
under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be
preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Network Card must be installed in the Bindery
Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to
confirm the server has Bindery Context:
1. Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install
2. Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.
3. Select NCF Files Options from the menu.
4. Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu.
5. Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following
included:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG
Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the file server
context. Use your own file server context in place of =0U=ENG.
6. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT
statement that you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The definition in
the file takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted.
