7 Other network file and print services This chapter discusses file and print services for NetWare and Macintosh. File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is one part of the Microsoft software package called Services for NetWare. The most common use of the NetWare network operating system is as a file and print server. FPNW eases the addition of the storage server into a mixed infrastructure by providing a NetWare user interface (UI) to a Windows Storage Server 2003-based server; administrators and users see their same, familiar NetWare UI. Additionally, the same logon for clients is maintained without a need for any client configuration changes. This service also provides the ability to create Novell volumes, which are actually NTFS shares, from which users can map drives and access resources. Novell Login scripts are supported on the storage server or through an existing NDS (Novell Directory Services) account. This requires no changes or additions to the software on the NetWare client computers. NOTE: FPNW is not a clusterable protocol. With FPNW on both nodes of a cluster, the shares do not fail over because the protocol is not cluster-aware. NOTE: IPX/SPX protocol is required on the Novell servers. Installing Services for NetWare The installation of FPNW on the storage server allows for a smooth integration with existing Novell servers. FPNW allows a Windows Storage Server 2003 based server to emulate a NetWare file and print server to users, clients, and administrators. This emulation allows authentication from Novell clients, the use of Novel logon scripts, the creation of Novell volumes (shares), the use of Novell file attributes, and many other Novell features. Information on Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services and the File Migration Utility can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2003/guide/server/solutions/NetWare.asp To install Services for NetWare: 1. From the desktop of the storage server, select Start > Settings > Network Connections > Local Area Connection, and then right-click Properties. HP ProLiant Storage Server 111
