B.1 Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux

Use the NetWare Core Protocol™ (NCP™) Server to create an NCP volume on the Open Enterprise Server Linux (OES) server that will be visible from Windows just as a NetWare volume would be.

  1. On the OES Linux server, become root, then enter the following commands:

    ncpcon create volume volume_name directory
    ncpcon set cross_protocol_locks=1
    
  2. From a Windows workstation or server where the Novell® Client™ is installed, use the Novell Map Network Drive feature to map a drive to the volume on your OES Linux server.

    Windows-type file locking is now respected by OES Linux.
