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 ca lled
Services for
NetWare. The most common use of the NetWare network operating system is as a file and
print server
. FPNW e ases the addition of the storage server into a mixed infrastructure by providing a
NetWare use
r interface (UI) to a Windows Storage Server 2003-based server; administrators and users
see their sa
me, familiar NetWare UI. Additionally, the same logon for clients is maintained without a
need for an
yclientconfiguration changes.
This servi
ce also provides the ability to create Novell volumes, which are actually NT FS shares, from
which users can map drives and access resources. Novell Login scripts a re supported on the storage
server or through an existing NDS (Novell D irectory Ser vices) acc ount. This requires n o changes or
additions to the software on the NetWare client computers.
NOTE:
FPNW is no
t a clustera ble 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 ser ver allows for a smooth integration with existing Novell
servers. FPNW allows a Windows Storage Server 2003 based server to emulate a N etWare file and
print server to users, clients, and administrators. This emulation allows authentication from Novell clients,
the use o
f Novel logon scripts, the creation of N ovell volumes (shares), the use of Novell file attributes,
and man
y other Novell features.
