Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
Is there a limitation on the number of partitions per disk in Netware 6? Netware 5 has a limit of 4 partitions per disk.When upgrading from Netware 5 to Netware 6, is it possible to convert to NSS in the process? Is there a limitation of partitions per disk in NSS?
A:
NetWare is not the limiting factor, but yes there is a limit of 4 partitions per disk. There is an option to convert...and there is still a partition limit per disk. But it can look like one large disk with the storage pooling options in NSS.
The documentation for NetWare 6 has some juicy details on migration and configuration.
