Linux:

Windows:

c:\ProgramData\novell\groupwise\gwdva

Linux DVA

Windows DVA

Syntax:

  • ‑‑home /directory
  • /home-[drive:]\dir
  • /home-\\svr\sharename\dir

Example:

  • ‑‑home /opt/novell/groupwise/gwdva
  • /home-\Program Files\Novel\GroupWise Server\gwdva
  • /home-m:\temp\gwdva
  • /home-\\server2\c\temp\gwdva

On Windows, if you are running the DVA as a Windows service rather than as an application, the format you use for the path name influences the Windows user account that the DVA service can run under. If you specify a home folder on the local server or on a mapped drive, the DVA service can run under the local system account. If you specify a home folder as a UNC path to a remote server, the DVA service must run as a Windows user that has rights to access the remote home folder.
