Novell NetWare 6.5 Administrators Handbook

Managing Logical Volumes

• To create, delete, or enlarge a logical volume, use the volume management options in iManager, or the console-based NSSMU.

• To mount/dismount, or activate/deactivate a logical volume, use the volume management options in iManager, or the console-based NSSMU.

• To move or split a logical volume, use the volume management options in iManager.

• To mount a server's DOS partition as a logical volume, load DOSFAT.NSS at the server console.

Managing Disk Space

• To manage file compression, use NoRM to set file compression SET parameters.

• To limit users' disk space, use volume management options in iManager.

Managing Files

• To salvage or purge deleted files, use the NetWare Utilities option in the Novell client or ConsoleOne.

• To display information about files and directories, use ConsoleOne.

Using Distributed File System

• To create and manage DFS junctions, use ConsoleOne.

Using iSCSI

• Configure iSCSI partitions with NoRM or the console-based NSSMU.

• Configure an iSCSI initiator with the iSCSI Services options in NoRM.

Backing Up and Restoring Files

• To back up and restore network files, use SBCON from the server console (or a remote RConsoleJ session). For a more comprehensive backup/restore solution, use a third-party backup product that is SMS-compliant.

• Use file and pool snapshots to make it much easier to back up network data.
