20.18 Creating a DFS Junction Manually with ConsoleOne

You can create DFS junctions manually with ConsoleOne to impose a logical overlay for your storage structure. When you use Novell iManager to split volumes, the process automatically creates DFS junctions to replace the directory where you split the volume.

  1. (Conditional) If it does not already exist, you must create a DFS Management context and make sure the VLDB service is up and running. For information, see Section 20.3, Creating a DFS Management Context.

  2. In ConsoleOne, create a subdirectory or use an existing subdirectory of any NetWare 6.5 or later NSS volume.

  3. Right-click the subdirectory, then click New>Shortcut>Junction.

    You can also create a junction at the root of a volume. However, to do this, instead of right-clicking the subdirectory, select the volume, then click the up-arrow in the ConsoleOne toolbar.

  4. Verify that the eDirectory tree name is correct, browse to the volume that you are pointing to from the junction, then click Next.

  5. Name the junction, then click Finish.

  6. To view the newly created junction, from the Console One toolbar, click View>Refresh.
