Tech Bulletin: The NetWare SYSCHECK Utility
NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN
TITLE: The NetWare SYSCHECK Utility
DOCUMENT ID: TB.P.159
DATE: 11/10/86
PRODUCT: NetWare
PRODUCT VERSION: SYSCHECK
SUPERSEDES: NA
SYMPTOM: NA
ISSUE/PROBLEM
Many networking problems are related to cabling and boards. These
problems can be located and solved before bringing up the network.
The NetWare SYSCHECK utility is a diagnostic "SYStem CHECK" used to
determine proper cabling of a network's workstations. This utility tests
for proper communications among the various workstation and file server
network communication boards in a given network.
It tests only the communications made to a single network, however, and
does not cross bridges. SYSCHECK can be run as soon as you have finished
the installation of the physical hardware, except for the S-NET; the
network does not need to be up and running. Preparations to run
SYSCHECK, as well as complete instructions, are found in Chapter 3 of the
NetWare/86/286 Installation Manual.
We recommend that at least one working copy be made of the DIAGNOSTIC
diskette, (using the DOS DISKCOPY command), and that you use this working
copy and keep the original in a safe place to help preserve your
NetWare/68/86/286 software.
SYSCHECK normally tests only the network communication boards contained
in workstations, however it is possible to include the file server's
network boards in the test. To do so, you will need to modify the
hardware settings on the file server network boards. (Detailed
information on modification is found in the NetWare/86/286 Installation
Manual, Chapter 3. After running SYSCHECK, you will need to restore the
file server's network board hardware settings to those you configured for
the operating system.
