About This Book

This book describes: 

  • OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare (also referred to as Integration for NetWare) and how you can use it with a Integrated PC Server for NetWare file serving on the AS/400 system. 

  • You can use the Integration for NetWare feature (5769-SA3) to help consolidate servers within your network. The Integration for NetWare feature supports NetWare 4.1 and later versions. 

  • OS/400 Enhanced Integration for Novell NetWare (also referred to as Enhanced Integration for NetWare) and how you can use it with or without an Integrated PC Server. 

  • OS/400 Enhanced Integration for Novell NetWare (5769-SS1 - Option 25) is separately ordered as feature 2246. The Enhanced Integration for NetWare feature enables you to manage and administer NetWare servers, including both local servers (those running on an AS/400 Integrated PC Server) and remote servers. In addition, Enhanced Integration for NetWare enables a new NetWare file system (QNetWare), through which you can access data in the NetWare environment from AS/400. 

    The Enhanced Integration for NetWare feature works with NetWare 3.12 on remote PC servers in the network, or with NetWare 4.1 and later versions on both local and remote servers. 

    You can use this feature with or without Integration Services for FSIOP (5769-SA2) or OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare (5769-SA3). 

This book is divided into parts that: 
  • Introduce the OS/400 Integration Products for NetWare and describe installation procedures. 
  • Describe the Integration for NetWare product and the functions in Enhanced Integration for NetWare that apply to the Integrated PC Server. 
  • Describe the functions in Enhanced Integration for NetWare that are independent of the Integrated PC Server. 
  • Describe advanced topics, such as problem analysis, that apply to both OS/400 Integration Products for NetWare features. 
This book also has some appendixes. 

When information in this book applies to both Integration for NetWare and Enhanced Integration for NetWare, this book uses OS/400 Integration Products for NetWare to refer to both features. 

Integrated PC Server is the new name for the File Server Input/Output Processor (FSIOP). These names are used interchangeably in this book. 

This book uses NetWare 4.1 to refer to NetWare 4.10 and NetWare 4.11, including the NetWare 4.11 version on the IntranetWare CD-ROM

You may need to refer to other IBM books for more specific information about a particular topic. 

  • The Publications Reference, SC41-5003, provides information on all the books in the AS/400 library.

Who Should Use This Book

To use this book, you should be familiar with AS/400 concepts and general communications concepts. You should also be familiar with Novell NetWare concepts and the administration of Novell NetWare networks. 


Conventions and Terminology Used in This Book

This book includes several usability aids and conventions to help you find and identify the information you need. The following sections describe these usability aids and conventions. 

Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) Information

OS/400 Integration Products for NetWare runs on both single-byte character set (SBCS) systems and double-byte character set (DBCS) systems. SBCS is a graphic character set in which each character occupies 1 byte. DBCS is a graphic character set in which each character occupies 2 bytes. Languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, that contain more symbols than can be represented by 256 code combinations require double-byte character sets. 

OS/400 Integration Products for NetWare Indicator

This book describes both of the OS/400 features that provide NetWare Support. Whenever a chapter or section applies to only one of these features, one of the following graphics will appear: 

nicube 
This information applies to Integration for NetWare only. 
neicube 
This information applies to Enhanced Integration for NetWare only. 
Task Step Indicator

Many tasks provide background information to help you become familiar with the task you will perform. Following this background information, an arrow in the margin identifies where the actual steps begin. For example, the logging-on task section provides background information about user IDs. Following the background information, the steps begin as follows: 

task 
Installing the OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare Feature 
  1. Sign on to AS/400 with QSECOFR authority. 

  2. Ensure the OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare feature is not already installed on OS/400 at the same version, release, and modification level by typing GO LICPGM. Then select option 10 (Display installed licensed programs) from the Work with Licensed Program Display. 

  3. Insert the tape for program 5769-SA3. 
  4. ...(additional steps may follow). 
Note Indicator

Notes provide important information that can affect the operation of the product or the completion of the task. A note is indicated by a note pad symbol next to the note. For example, the following note provides information about running RCONSOLE. 

note 
If you experience problems running RCONSOLE in the Windows environment, exit Windows and run RCONSOLE from a native DOS environment. 
Tip Indicator

Helpful information or tips that help you complete a task with fewer steps are indicated by a symbol, as shown in the following example: 

tip 
Ensure that the documentation for Integration Services for FSIOP (5769-SA2) is available as you install OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare (5763-SA3). These manuals are Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support and Integration Services for the Integrated PC Server
Attention Indicator

Important information that can prevent you from making an operational error. For example: 

atten 
Some AS/400 displays are different when Enhanced Integration for NetWare is installed. Differences are marked. 
Point Indicator

Refers to additional information, as shown in the following example: 

point 
If you are using Integrated PC Servers as NetWare 4.10 servers, you can upgrade all of your Integrated PC Servers to NetWare 4.11 on your AS/400 system by using the procedure described in Appendix C. "NetWare 4.1 Considerations"
