4.23 NetStorage Install

If you did not select Novell NetStorage on the Components page, continue with Section 4.24, Completing the Server Installation.

If Novell NetStorage was one of the products you selected to install on the Components page, or if you selected a pattern installation that installs NetStorage, you now see the NetStorage Install page. NetStorage provides simple access to file storage on a Novell network from any Internet-enabled machine.

  1. Type the IP address or DNS name of a server in your eDirectory tree that has the master replica or a read/write replica of eDirectory in the field provided.

  2. (Optional) Type the IP addresses or DNS names of servers in other eDirectory trees that have at least read/write eDirectory replicas, or specify the same IP address or DNS name you used for the primary eDirectory server but with a different context.

    You can add two alternate eDirectory server URL and context settings. These alternate settings are used to allow NetStorage to find User objects that exist in contexts other than what you specified for the primary eDirectory server. The alternate settings also allow NetStorage to find user objects with the same name in different eDirectory trees. The alternate URL and context settings are optional, but can help provide users with an additional level of access to netstorage.

  3. (Optional) Type the IP address or DNS name and the port number that you assigned to Novell iFolder in the fields provided.

    The iFolder DNS name or IP address and the port number are optional, but if they are specified, they allow NetStorage users to access and manipulate files and directories on the iFolder server.
