6.2 Configuring the Log Partition on the NetWare Access Gateway

When the NetWare Access Gateway is installed, the log: volume is configured to share a 4 GB partition with the sys: volume. The log: volume is limited to 2 GB. You can change these limits, if you have the disk space to create a larger log: volume, but the change must be made at the NetWare Access Gateway console and not from the Administration Console. It also requires a reboot of the NetWare Access Gateway to allow access to the NetWare operating system.

  1. Boot the NetWare Access Gateway with the -NetWareOnly option. See Additional Options During the Boot Process in the Novell Access Manager 3.0 SP4 Administration Guide.

  2. At the NetWare command prompt, unload autovol.

  3. Load nssmu.

    For more information about this console utility, see NSSMU.

  4. In nssmu, delete the log: volume.

    Note the drive (device) of the log: volume.

  5. Delete the FastCache partition on same drive (device) as the log: volume you deleted.

  6. Create a partition for the log: volume.

    Make it as large as you want the log: volume, but no larger. This partition should not take all the space on the drive. On reboot, the FastCache partition for the log: volume is automatically created for you on the same device as the log: volume. You want to reserve as much space as possible for the FastCache partition.

  7. Create a log: volume on the newly created partition.

    Ignore the error on creation.

  8. Reboot the NetWare Access Gateway.
