Compaq ProSignia 200 NetWare 5: At Your Command - Page 14

NetWare 5: At Your Command 14 will still function with the DOWN command since DOWN alone now triggers the EXIT events. • To access infrequently used options and make last-minute changes in your server installation, click the Customize button on the Server Summary screen. Now breathe a sigh of relief because here's where you can easily modify any prior incomplete or incorrect options. You can also access options-such as, the SNMP parameters-that aren't necessary in every installation. • Some NLMs are contained inside the SERVER.EXE file. These NLMs are called Bound-In and are loaded in a predetermined order when the server is started. Here are a few specifics about these bound-in characters: • Just like ordinary NLMs, a Bound-In NLM can be unloaded by entering UNLOAD FILENAME.NLM. • To load an internal NLM, you must add an asterisk to the filename to indicate that the file is located in SERVER.EXE. For example *FILENAME.NLM. • Should a newer version of an internal NLM ever be released, placing the newer version in the SERVER.EXE startup directory will force the server to use the newer version. • SERVER.EXE also has several command-line parameters that may be helpful in debugging driver and server configuration issues. • SERVER -NA starts the server without executing the AUTOEXEC.NCF. • SERVER -NS starts the server without executing STARTUP.NCF. Generally, this command also stops the execution of the AUTOEXEC.NCF since SYS: is not mounted. Note: However, if there is an AUTOEXEC.NCF in the C:\NWSERVER directory when you use the SERVER -NS command, AUTOEXEC.NCF will execute. • SERVER -NL prevents the server from showing Novell's splash screen; SERVER -L forces the server to show the splash screen. Also see "General NetWare 5 Software Tips." • SERVER -ND will allow the server to boot without loading NDS. Also see "Using Novell Directory Services with NetWare 5." • Make certain that the latest versions of disk drivers and NLMs are located in both C:\NWSERVER and C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS. Why? Because NetWare 5 searches C:\NWSERVER and C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS for drivers when a new hot-pluggable device is detected. Take heed! If the server finds a different version of the driver in each location, the file in C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS will be used for the new device and will replace (overwrite) the one in C:\NWSERVER. • To view all detected processors and their statuses, enter the command DISPLAY PROCESSORS. In NetWare 5, this command shows how many processors are detected and their current state. • The STOP PROCESSORS command will change the state of all SMP processors to offline. • The START PROCESSORS command will enable all available processors in the server.
