B.1 UNIX/NFS Issues

Disabling the Software

To disable NFS, complete the following steps on each server running NFS:

  1. Run nfsstop at the server console.

  2. Remove the NFSSTART line from the autoexec.ncf file.

Installing Native File Access for UNIX after the Migration

After completing a NetWare 5.1 to NetWare 6.5 migration using the Migration Wizard, complete the following steps to ensure that Native File Access for UNIX installs correctly:

  1. Delete the NFAUUser object.

  2. Run the schinst utility.

    Syntax:

    schinst -n -w
    

    Schinst takes the administrator’s FDN and password as input for extending the schema.

  3. Run nisinst.

  4. Execute nfsstart.

NFS Server

Using iManager for Administering NFS Server

Error 9600

NDSILIB might not autoload in certain instances. If this happens, it will return Error 9600. To fix this problem, run NFSSTOP at the server console and then execute the operation again.

If the issue is not resolved, log in to ConsoleOne or NWADMIN and do the following:

  1. Make a note of all the nodes that share the NFAUUser object in that context.

  2. Delete the NFAUUser object.

  3. Run schinst -n -w on all the nodes that you made note of in Step 1.

Makenis Issues

Do not use makenis to delete users and groups. Use ConsoleOne instead.

Pkernel Messages

If the pkernel screen displays messages similar to the following after executing yppush, ignore them. They do not affect functionality.

Out of memory, cannot create UDP Client handle.

Removing Users or Groups from the NetWare NIS Slave Server

  1. In the ConsoleOne main menu, right-click the User or Group object.

  2. Click Properties > Other.
