This section provides procedures for performing common NetWare/IP server management tasks.
Before you can start the NetWare/IP service, you must have both DNS and DSS servers running on the network.
From NWIPCFG's NetWare/IP Administration menu, choose the following:
When prompted, press <Esc> to return to the NetWare/IP Administration menu.
From UNICON's Main Menu, choose the following:
From the Running Services list, choose the NetWare/IP Server entry and press <Delete> .
If the NetWare/IP Server entry does not appear in the list, the service is not running on this server.
When prompted, choose Yes to stop the NetWare/IP service.
To return to UNICON's Main Menu, press <Esc> .
When you stop a NetWare/IP server, the server reports its status to a DSS server. If the NetWare/IP server and the DSS server are running on the same machine, the NetWare/IP server will most likely report its status to the local DSS server. This results in a problem if you immediately stop the DSS server after stopping the NetWare/IP server, because the rest of the network will not learn about the down status of the NetWare/IP server.
To avoid this situation, type the following command at the server's console prompt after stopping the NetWare/IP server and before stopping the DSS server:
LOAD DSS /SYNC
<Enter>
To remove a NetWare/IP server, you must delete its NetWare/IP configuration. You do this using the UNICON utility.
IMPORTANT: Before removing a NetWare/IP server, be sure to reconfigure all NetWare/IP client systems that use this server as the nearest NetWare/IP server.
From UNICON's Main Menu, choose the following:
Press <Enter> to clear the warning message.
When prompted, choose Yes to delete the NetWare/IP configuration on this server.
To return to UNICON's Main Menu, press <Esc> as needed.
Every DSS server, NetWare/IP server, and NetWare/IP client is configured with the hostname or IP address of the DNS name server to which it should direct its DNS queries. If you move the DNS service to a new server, you must modify the configuration of each NetWare/IP node with the hostname or IP address of the new DNS name server. For information on configuring the NetWare/IP server to direct its DNS queries to a new name server, see Gateway Configuration .
