Compaq Tips and Tricks for
NetWare 5
Abstract
: In September 1998, Novell successfully launched its
powerful, next-generation network operating system, NetWare 5,
that provides superior management and control of network
applications and resources.
This Integration Note includes the latest and greatest hot tips,
shortcuts, enhanced commands, and software tool descriptions that
help network administrators, developers, and other users truly
optimize the many features of a NetWare 5 system on a Compaq
ProLiant platform.
More specifically, we present tips and tricks in the following areas:
•
Software: general OS, commands, drivers and utilities, software
applications
•
Hardware/firmware: server installation and configuration,
memory, monitor and screen saver, network, processor, storage
As Compaq and Novell engineers and field support teams continue
to tune and test NetWare 5 on Compaq high-availability servers,
we’ll pass on any more juicy tidbits or
tricks
that they discover.
In January 2000 Novell released NetWare 5.1, an even more robust
platform for developing and deploying open, web-based applications.
In fact, it’s a complete solution for an enterprise website. So, be sure
to read the white paper
Compaq Tips and Tricks for NetWare 5.1,
available from the following websites:
•
Compaq technical publications
•
ActiveAnswers on Compaq.com
•
NetWare 5 Online Competency Center
