NetStorage can be automatically installed and preconfigured to default settings by choosing the Express Installation option during the Novell Nterprise Linux Services (NNLS) installation. If you want to change the NetStorage configuration from the default settings during the installation, you must use the Custom installation option and choose the Novell Virtual Office component during the NNLS installation. For most networks, you need NetStorage installed on only one server; however, this might vary depending on size and your organization's needs. For example, if your company is geographically dispersed, you might want to install NetStorage on one server in each geographic region.
If you choose the Custom installation option, during the NetStorage installation, you are prompted for configuration information that is necessary for NetStorage to function properly. If you want to change the NetStorage configuration later, you must either reinstall or use Novell® iManager to change the configuration. For more information on iManager, see Administering NetStorage.
