NOVELL storage system that comes bundled with G CD-ROMs can be mounted as NSS volumes, making the NetWare 5 product. Because it features 64-bit operation, the CDs easier and faster to mount. NSS provides the ability to store larger files (up to 8 terabytes), and can mount larger volumes and a greater number of volumes While all of these advantages are certainly practical, what than its predecessor, the 32-bit NetWare File System (NWFS). really makes NSS so revolutionary is its new conceptual design. The NSS architecture also provides significant enhancements By introducing the idea of logical storage to NetWare data over NWFS in both conceptual design and system performance. storage structures, NSS continues to lead network technology This article will explore the benefits you can expect from away from limitations based on physical location and the an NSS implementation, the limitations of NSS in its current characteristics of individual devices. For example, up until now configuration, and what new doors NSS may open for network the size of a NetWare partition was limited by how large a design down the road. single hard drive on that server was.

This sometimes led to a design that was likely prove useful to both large and small NetWare shops. cumbersome to work with and even more difficult to manage.

Unfortunately, the current release of NSS is only capable of locating NSS Partitions available space on server hard drives. However, the full potential of Just as with the standard NetWare file system, NSS uses disk logical storage promises to be realized with future releases of NSS, partitions to hold volumes. The difference is that, as a logical partition for which support of other storage devices is planned. rather than a disk partition, the NSS partition can span multiple hard drives and, in future releases of NSS, several other types of NSS LIMITATIONS storage devices as well. For example, when you set up a standard NetWare file server, you first create a small DOS partition on the file NSS brings with it some liabilities and incompatibilities which server's hard drive with the remaining space on the server's hard drive are common with any new technology. Novell is working on often being allocated as a NetWare partition. One or more NetWare addressing some of these deficiencies, but for the moment NSS volumes are placed in this NetWare partition. NSS works in a similar does not support any of the following functions: manner, though the terminology and mechanisms are different. The process of establishing an NSS partition begins with programs SYS: volume - The SYS: volume cannot reside on an NSS volume. called providers, which search your server's devices to find free This means that you must still have a standard NWFS partition on storage space. There are currently two providers to choose from in your server in order to hold the SYS: volume. NSS, the NSS Media Manager for IBM partitions (MMPRV) and the NSS File Provider for NetWare (NWPRV). The MMPRV FTP - Currently, you cannot place the File Transfer Protocol on an provider will search the storage devices attached to a server looking NSS volume. Novell has stated, however, that future versions of NSS for all of the unallocated free space available in standard IBM- should be modified to support the Novell File Transfer Protocol service. compatible partitions; the NWPRV provider is used for finding free space available in existing NetWare volumes.

Disk striping - NSS does not support disk striping as of yet, As indicated, the NWPRV provider will create your NSS although Novell has announced that future NSS versions might be partition from unused disk space within an existing NetWare modified to provide disk striping support. volume. For example, if the VOL1: NetWare volume on your server contains 4GB of unused space, you can allocate this space Auditing - You cannot use the NetWare auditing facility on NSS to an NSS partition.

NetWare will then recognize that the remaining space in the volume is being taken up by an NSS Obviously, with its inability to host a SYS: volume, NSS is currently partition. You must take a couple of precautions if you elect to designed to exist alongside a functioning NWFS partition. This utilize this facility: means that your server will require at least three partitions if you wish to utilize NSS: the DOS disk partition, the NWFS disk partition G Although technically feasible, you should try to avoid for the SYS: volume, and the NSS logical partition.

  • An Overview of the Netware Operating System
    An Overview of the NetWare Operating System Drew Major Greg Minshall Kyle Powell Novell, Inc. Abstract The NetWare operating system is designed specifically to provide service to clients over a computer network. This design has resulted in a system that differs in several respects from more general-purpose operating systems. In addition to highlighting the design decisions that have led to these differences, this paper provides an overview of the NetWare operating system, with a detailed description of its kernel and its software-based approach to fault tolerance. 1. Introduction The NetWare operating system (NetWare OS) was originally designed in 1982-83 and has had a number of major changes over the intervening ten years, including converting the system from a Motorola 68000-based system to one based on the Intel 80x86 architecture. The most recent re-write of the NetWare OS, which occurred four years ago, resulted in an “open” system, in the sense of one in which independently developed programs could run. Major enhancements have occurred over the past two years, including the addition of an X.500-like directory system for the identification, location, and authentication of users and services. The philosophy has been to start as with as simple a design as possible and try to make it simpler as we gain experience and understand the problems better. The NetWare OS provides a reasonably complete runtime environment for programs ranging from multiprotocol routers to file servers to database servers to utility programs, and so forth. Because of the design tradeoffs made in the NetWare OS and the constraints those tradeoffs impose on the structure of programs developed to run on top of it, the NetWare OS is not suited to all applications.
