Rconsole. exe (cont. ) • • Install. nlm Load from the console by using the command “load install. nlm”
Rconsole. exe (cont. ) • • Install. nlm Use to set installation, startup, and administrative options
Rconsole. exe (cont. ) • • • Disk Options Use to Format physical disks Use to create and delete Netware partitions on physical drives Use to set up software RAID level 1 on drives Use to perform physical disk characteristic tests on physical drives (similar to Microsoft’s chkdsk or scandisk)
Rconsole. exe (cont. ) • • Volume Options Use to add, modify, and delete Netware volumes on logical partitions Use to manually mount or dismount volumes Netware syntax – \SRVNOV 1CMSS (UNC) – SRVNOV 1/CMSS: (Netware) • • SYS is a required Netware volume Additional volumes usually house user and application data

System Console Commands (cont. ) • Load – Use to load Netware Loadable Modules (. NLM’s) – “load xxxx. nlm” • Unload – Use to unload Netware Loadable Modules – “unload xxxx. nlm” • • NLM’s are similar to Windows NT services, applications, or TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs NLM’s can be loaded manually at the console or in the Startup. ncf/Autoexec. ncf environment files at boot-up
