Installing the NFS Gateway

After meeting the system requirements, you can proceed to install NFS Gateway.

If you have a previous version of the gateway already installed, you still need to reinstall the NFS Gateway for NetWare 6 because an NFS Gateway upgrade from NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6 is not supported.

To install the NFS Gateway:

  1. If Native File Access for UNIX is not installed on the server, skip to Step 2.

    or

    If Native File Access for UNIX is installed on the NetWare server:

    1. Stop the NFS services by entering the nfsstop command at the console prompt.

    2. Unload nfsadmin and pkernel by entering the following commands at the console prompt:

      unload nfsadmin

      unload pkernel

  2. Install the NFS Gateway using either NWCONFIG or the GUI install utility.

    1. Select Install a Product Not Listed.

    2. From the options displayed, select Press <F3> to Specify a Different Path.

    3. Specify the directory path where you extracted the NFS Gateway package and where the product.ni is present. Wait while the required installation files are copied.

    4. In the Welcome page, click Next to display the License agreement.

    5. Read and accept the license agreement.

    6. Install the product license by browsing or specifying the NFS Gateway license filename (*.nlf), then click Next.

      or

      Check the Install without Licenses check box to proceed with the installation and install the license later. You can install the license later using either the nwadmin utility or iManager.

    7. Click Next. Make sure that NFS Gateway for NetWare 6 is displayed, then click Finish.

      Wait while the install copies new files and also backs up the existing files if Native File Access for UNIX is installed.

      NOTE:  To understand and resolve error messages displayed during the install, refer to install.txt located in the product installation directory.

    8. In the authentication screen, provide the User Name (administrator or admin equivalent), password, and context.

      This authenticates the administrator to the eDirectoryTM tree where license is to be installed, the eDirectory schema is extended (if not already extended), and the NIS_Server object is created.

    9. Click View to read the Readme file, or click Close.

The NFS Gateway for NetWare 6 installation is now complete.
