For │ │ example, form type 2 may be continous-feed forms, 3 may be a special │ │ company letterhead, etc. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 0 FORM 3" will set up printer 0 for form type 3. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn FORM FEED ═══════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: P[RINTER] nn FF │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to advance the paper in a printer by one page. │ │ This command can be used with the MARK TOP OF FORM command to │ │ properly position continous-feed forms. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ The FORM FEED command will function even if the printer has been halted │ │ with the STOP PRINTER command. This allows you to stop the printer, reset │ │ the top-of-form, and then restart the printer. However, if the FORM FEED │ │ command is issued when the printer is off-line, an error message will be │ │ displayed indicating the command could not be executed. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 FORM FEED" will advance the paper (form) in printer 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn [Q[UEUE[S]]] ════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list all of the queues serviced by a │ │ particular printer. The list will also include the priority │ │ level of each queue. │ │ │ │ Queues can be configured with priorities so that print requests │ │ sent to particular queues will get processed before requests in │ │ queues with a lower priority. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 2 QUEUES" will list all the queues serviced by printer 2. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════ P[RINTER[S]] ═══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list printers that are attached to the file │ │ server. Information for each printer is listed, including the │ │ status of each printer (on-line or off-line), the form number │ │ mounted in each printer, and the number of queues serviced by │ │ each printer. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "P" will list all printers configured on the file server. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn MARK [[TOP OF] FORM] ═════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: P[RINTER] nn FORM MARK │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command in conjunction with the P[RINTER] nn FORM FEED │ │ command to align continous-feed forms in a network printer. │ │ │ │ When you enter this command, the printer will print a line of │ │ horizontal asterisks, marking the position on the page where │ │ printing will start. Using this line, you can adjust the │ │ position of the form as necessary. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 MARK" will print a row of asterisks on printer 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn REWIND [xx] [PAGES] ══════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Purpose: This command allows a console operator to interrupt a job being │ │ printed ("P nn STOP"), back up a specified number of pages in │ │ the printing file ("P nn REWIND"), and then restart the printer │ │ ("P nn START"). The printer will resume printing on the page │ │ indicated by the command. │ │ │ │ Note: If the file is not an ASCII file, or if you enter a page │ │ number that exceeds the number of page breaks the server has │ │ tracked, then the job will be restarted from the beginning. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ xx = The number of pages to rewind │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 REWIND 4 PAGES" will rewind printer 1 four pages. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn START ═════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to restart a printer that has been stopped │ │ with the "PRINTER nn STOP" command. When the filer server is │ │ first booted, all printers are started automatically; therefore │ │ it is only necessary to use the "PRINTER nn START" command │ │ after halting the printer with the "PRINTER nn STOP" command. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 START" will start printer 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn STOP ═════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to temporarily stop a printer. This command │ │ is useful when you want to change a ribbon, re-print pages of │ │ a file that is currently being printed, re-align continous-feed │ │ forms, or complete any other tasks that require you to halt the │ │ printer. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 STOP" will temporarily halt printer 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════ P[RINTER] nn ADD [QUEUE] name [[AT] [PRIORITY] xx] ═════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Format: P[RINTER] nn = [QUEUE] name [[AT] [PRIORITY] xx] │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to add an existing queue to a particular │ │ printer for servicing. You can also use this command to │ │ re-route a queue from one printer to another. As you add the │ │ queue to the printer, you can assign it a priority level. If │ │ you do not set the priority level using this command, it will │ │ be automatically set to priority 1. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ name = The name of an existing queue (use "Q name CREATE") │ │ xx = The priority level of the new queue │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 2 ADD ACCOUNTS" will add queue ACCOUNTS to printer 2. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════ P[RINTER] nn DEL[ETE] [QUEUE] name ════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to TEMPORARILY remove a queue from the set of │ │ queues being serviced by a particular printer. This command │ │ does NOT destroy the queue-it will only disable the printing of │ │ any jobs from that queue. Jobs may still be sent to that queue │ │ and any jobs already in the queue will be saved. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the server printer (0..4) │ │ name = The name of the queue to be deleted │ │ │ │ To find out which printer numbers are valid, use the P[RINTER[S]] command. │ │ │ │ Example: "P 1 DEL GAMES" will remove the GAMES queue from printer 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════ Q[UEUE] name C[HANGE] [JOB] nn [TO] [PRIORITY] xx ═════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to move a job to a new printing position │ │ within a particular queue. Any print job may be moved to a │ │ new position in the SAME print queue. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the print queue │ │ nn = The number of the print job in the queue │ │ xx = The new position for the job in the queue │ │ │ │ Use the Q[UEUE] name [JOB[S]] command to view the current order of jobs │ │ for a particular queue. │ │ │ │ Example: "Q LETTER CHANGE JOB 10 TO 1" │ │ will change job 10 in print queue LETTER to position 1 │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════ Q[UEUE] name CREATE ════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to create a new queue with the queue name │ │ specified. When the new queue is created, the group EVERYONE │ │ is given rights to use the queue, the supervisor is given │ │ operator rights to the queue, and the file server is given │ │ rights to service the queue. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the new queue │ │ │ │ Note: Once the queue is created, you must add it to one or more printers │ │ ("P[RINTER] nn ADD [QUEUE]"), AND you must "spool" that printer │ │ number to the newly-created queue ("S[POOL] nn TO [QUEUE] name"). │ │ │ │ Example: "Q PROJECTS CREATE" will create a new queue named PROJECTS. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════ Q[UEUE] name D[EL[ETE]] [JOB] * ═════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to delete all jobs currently listed in a │ │ particular queue. All jobs deleted using this command are │ │ deleted PERMANENTLY. If you want to delete individual jobs, │ │ use the "Q[UEUE] name D[EL[ETE]] [JOB] xx" command. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the queue │ │ │ │ To check the queue to make sure all the jobs have been deleted, │ │ use the "Q[UEUE] name [JOB[S]]" command. │ │ │ │ Example: "Q PROJECTS D *" will delete all the jobs in queue PROJECTS. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════ Q[UEUE] name D[EL[ETE]] [JOB] xx ══════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to delete a SPECIFIC job in a particular │ │ queue. To find out the job number of a particular job, │ │ use the "Q[UEUE] name [JOB[S]]" command. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the queue │ │ │ │ Whenever a print job is deleted from a queue, the remaining │ │ jobs will advance automatically. If you delete the job that is │ │ currently printing, printing will stop as soon as the printer │ │ buffer has emptied. │ │ │ │ Example: "Q LETTERS D JOB 15" will delete job #15 from queue LETTERS. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════ Q[UEUE] name DESTROY ════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to destroy a particular queue. All jobs in │ │ the queue are destroyed, as will as the queue itself. The │ │ destroyed queue is also removed from the service list of all │ │ printers that were servicing it. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the queue to be destroyed │ │ │ │ WARNING: This command permanently destroys the queue. There is │ │ no way to recover the queue or any jobs that were in it after │ │ this command is issued. If you want to destroy all JOBS in a │ │ queue without deleting the QUEUE itself, use the "Q[UEUE] name │ │ D[EL[ETE]] [JOB] *" command. │ │ │ │ Example: "Q JUNK DESTROY" will delete the JUNK queue and all its jobs. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════════ Q[UEUE[S]] ════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list all of the queues serviced by the file │ │ server. Also included in the listing are the number of jobs │ │ currently in each queue, as well as the number of printers that │ │ are servicing each queue. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "Q" will list all the queues serviced by this file server. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════ Q[UEUE] name [JOB[S]] ═══════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list all of the print jobs in a printer's │ │ queue. This command is helpful when you want to know the │ │ number of a print job you wish to move or delete. Also listed │ │ are the priority, job number, and copies of each print job. │ │ │ │ name = The name of the queue │ │ │ │ Note: If there are no jobs currently in the queue, "NONE" │ │ will appear on the console screen. An asterisk next to a print │ │ job means it is currently being printed. │ │ │ │ Example: "Q ACCOUNTS" will display all jobs in the queue ACCOUNTS. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════════════════════════════ S[POOL] ══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to display the current spool mappings for the │ │ file server. To maintain compatibility with NetWare 2.0a and │ │ below, NetWare 2.1 automatically assigns spool mappings to │ │ printers and print queues serviced by the file server, thus │ │ allowing older SPOOL calls to function in the NetWare 2.1 │ │ printing environment. │ │ │ │ Note: If you need to change the spool mappings to allow a │ │ printer to service a different queue, then use the "S[POOL] nn │ │ [TO] Q[UEUE] name" command. │ │ │ │ Example: "S" will list the current spool mappings for this file server. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════ S[POOL] nn [TO] [QUEUE] name ════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: S[POOL] nn [=] name │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to change spooler mappings for a NetWare 2.1 │ │ file server. To maintain compatibility with NetWare 2.0a and │ │ below, NetWare 2.1 automatically assigns spool mappings to │ │ printers and print queues serviced by the file server, thus │ │ allowing older SPOOL calls to function in the NetWare 2.1 │ │ printing environment. You can use this command to define or │ │ alter those spooler mappings. │ │ │ │ nn = The spool number (0..4) │ │ name = The destination queue name │ │ │ │ Example: If spooler 1 has been sending SPOOL requests from NetWare 2.0a │ │ to your ACCOUNTS queue, and you want those requests to go to │ │ your PROFITS queue, type "S 1 TO PROFITS". │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════════════════════════ CLEAR STATION nn ═════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to remove all file server resources allocated │ │ to a specific workstation. It is meant to be used when a │ │ workstation has "hung" and has left files open on the file │ │ server. Use this command with caution. │ │ │ │ nn = The station number to be cleared │ │ │ │ You can use the "MONITOR" command from the file server console │ │ or you can use the (logical) connection number given with the │ │ "USERLIST/A" command at a workstation to determine the station │ │ number to be cleared. │ │ │ │ Example: "CLEAR STATION 5" will remove station 5's connection with the │ │ file server and close all of its open files, locks, etc. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════ DISABLE LOGIN ═══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to keep users from logging into the file │ │ server. This command is used when it becomes necessary to shut │ │ down a file server for any reason (i.e. maintenance, repair, or │ │ backup). It is a recommended practice to use the "BROADCAST" │ │ command to inform all users that the file server will be going │ │ down in order to give ample time for them to logout before you │ │ issue the "DOWN" command. Workstations already logged into the │ │ file server may continue to work, however, any users wishing to │ │ login after you have disabled the login will be unsuccessful. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "DISABLE LOGIN" will cause the file server to refuse any new │ │ connection requests. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════ ENABLE LOGIN ═══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to restore workstations' login rights after │ │ you have issued the "DISABLE LOGIN" command. If you have turned │ │ off the file server in the interim, you do not need to issue │ │ this command, since login privileges are enabled automatically │ │ when the server is turned on. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "ENABLE LOGIN" will cause the file server to again accept new │ │ connection requests. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════════ CONSOLE ═════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to switch a NetWare 286 NON-DEDICATED or ELS │ │ file server from the local DOS workstation mode into console │ │ mode, so that console commands may be issued. │ │ │ │ This command is not a true console command, since this command │ │ must be executed while in local DOS mode. To switch back to │ │ the local workstation mode, use the "DOS" command. │ │ │ │ Example: "CONSOLE" will change from a DOS workstation mode of a │ │ non-dedicated file server to the file server console mode. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════════════ DOS ═══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to switch a NetWare 286 NON-DEDICATED or ELS │ │ file server from the file server console mode into local DOS │ │ mode. You can then use the file server as a DOS workstation. │ │ │ │ To switch the file server back to console mode, use the │ │ "CONSOLE" command. │ │ │ │ Example: "DOS" will switch the non-dedicated file server to a local │ │ DOS workstation mode. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════════════ OFF ═══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to clear the file server console screen. This │ │ command is most commonly used to disable screen output from │ │ the "MONITOR" command. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "OFF" will clear the file server screen and return a normal │ │ colon prompt. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════════════ DOWN ══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to write cache buffers to disk and shut down │ │ the operating system, in preparation for powering off the file │ │ server. To ensure data integrity, ALWAYS use the "DOWN" │ │ command before turning off the power to any file server. │ │ │ │ NOTE: You should never issue the "DOWN" command until you │ │ are sure that all workstations have logged out of the file │ │ server. You can use the "BROADCAST" command to inform users │ │ that they should close all files and log out. The "MONITOR" │ │ command could also be issued to verify that all workstations │ │ haved logged out. │ │ │ │ Example: "DOWN" will prepare the file server for being powered off. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════════════════════════════ CONFIG ═══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative Command Format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to display a list of the operating system's │ │ hardware configuration information for each network supported │ │ by the file server. The following information is displayed: │ │ │ │ - The network address (including the board address) │ │ - The LAN card hardware type (i.e. RX-Net) │ │ - The hardware settings (not read directly from the LAN │ │ board. Read from the OS configuration established at │ │ installation time). │ │ │ │ Use this information when installing other servers or bridges │ │ to ensure that there are no conflicting network names/addresses. │ │ │ │ Example: "CONFIG" will display hardware configuration information. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════ MONITOR [nn] ════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to call up the monitor display. The monitor │ │ display keeps track of the activities of workstations logged │ │ in or attached to the file server. The monitor display is │ │ divided into six blocks, each block giving information about a │ │ particular workstation. │ │ │ │ nn = the station number (logical connection number) to monitor │ │ │ │ To see information about a particular workstation, include the │ │ workstations' logical connection number to the server when │ │ issuing the monitor command. (See the example below or refer to │ │ the Console Reference for more information). The logical │ │ connection number can be obtained by using either the "WHOAMI" │ │ command or the "USERLIST/A" command from a workstation. │ │ │ │ Example: "MONITOR 7" will display the monitor for stations 7 thru 12. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════════ NAME ════════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to display the name of the file server. This │ │ command is useful on large multi-server networks where the name │ │ of a file server may not be immediately known. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "NAME" will display the file server name. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════ TRACK ON | OFF ══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to track communication broadcasts to and from │ │ the file server. It is frequently used as a diagnostics tool │ │ for troubleshooting network communication problems. When a │ │ workstation loads the NetWare shell in an attempt to gain a │ │ connection with the file server, if "TRACK ON" has been │ │ issued, a "Get nearest server" message should appear on the │ │ console. The file server should normally respond, and a │ │ "Give nearest server" message should appear on the console. │ │ By using "TRACK ON" in this manner, a troubleshooter can tell │ │ by looking at these messages where to look for possible network │ │ communication failures. │ │ │ │ Example: "TRACK ON" will enable tracking of communication broadcasts. │ │ "TRACK OFF" will disable this tracking function. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════ SET TIME [month/day/year] [hour:minute:second] [AM|PM] ═══════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to set the date and time kept by the file │ │ server. You may set both the date and time in the same │ │ command, or you may set either one separately. If you only │ │ set one parameter, the other one remains unaffected. │ │ │ │ The date may be entered in any of these formats: │ │ 12/30/88, December 30, 1988, OR 30 December 1988 │ │ │ │ The time may be entered in any of these formats: │ │ 1:15:32 (standard time format) │ │ 13:15:32 (military time format) │ │ │ │ Example: "SET TIME 12/30/88 1:30 PM" will set the file servers' date │ │ to December 30th, 1988 and its' time to one thirty PM. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════════ TIME ═══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to display the time and date kept by the │ │ file server's built-in clock. The date and time will appear │ │ on the monitor screen in the following format: │ │ │ │ September 27, 1988 3:11:25 PM │ │ │ │ To reset the file server's time or date, use the SET TIME │ │ console command. │ │ │ │ Example: TIME will view the file server's date and time. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════════════ BROADCAST message ═════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to send messages to every workstation that is │ │ logged in or attached to the file server. This command allows │ │ you to immediately notify all workstations of important │ │ information. The message may be a maximum of 60 characters long │ │ and need not be enclosed in quotes. All attached workstations │ │ will receive the broadcast message on the 25th line of the │ │ screen, so that messages will not interfere with whatever was on │ │ the worksation's display before the message was issued. │ │ │ │ NOTE: Users who are logged in on remote workstations will NOT │ │ receive broadcast messages. If the file server receives a │ │ message, use the "CLEAR MESSAGE" command to clear the screen. │ │ │ │ Example: "BROADCAST The file server will be turned off in five minutes." │ │ will send "The file server will be turned off in five minutes." │ │ to all attached workstations. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════ CLEAR MESSAGE ══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to clear messages from the message display area │ │ at the bottom of the file server console screen. │ │ │ │ This command allows you to clear the message area without │ │ clearing the entire screen, as may be necessary in certain │ │ troubleshooting situations. │ │ │ │ │ │ Example: "CLEAR MESSAGE" will clear the broadcast message at the file │ │ server console without clearing the entire screen. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════ SEND "message" [TO] [STATION] [station list] ═══════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to send console messages to specified stations │ │ (rather than sending the message to all workstations with the │ │ "BROADCAST" command). │ │ │ │ "message" = your message (may be up to 40 characters long) │ │ station list = a list of workstation logical connection numbers │ │ (To find out which users are at which station numbers, use the │ │ "USERLIST" command at a workstation. │ │ │ │ NOTE: If you do not specify a station list, the message will be │ │ sent to ALL workstations. Unlike the "BROADCAST" command, your │ │ message MUST be contained in quotes. │ │ │ │ Example: SEND "Please meet me at the printer" to 3 4 7 9 │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════ DISK (for Advanced NetWare only) ════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to monitor the status of network disk drives. │ │ The columns in the DISK screen contain the following information: │ │ │ │ The first column contains the logical drive number for each of the drives. │ │ The "cha" column indicates the drive channel. │ │ The "con" column indicates the hard disk controller board number. │ │ The "drv" column indicates the physical drive number of the disk drive. │ │ The "stat" column indicates the status of the drive: │ │ "OK" indicates that the drive is set up for HotFix. │ │ "NO HOT" indicates that HotFix is not functioning or has been turned off.│ │ "OFF" indicates that the disk drive is not operating. │ │ The "IO Err" column indicates the no. of input/output errors that have │ │ occurred on the drive (i.e. how many times data has been redirected). │ │ The "free" column indicates the # of unused blocks in the redirection area.│ │ The "used" column indicates the # of used blocks in the redirection area. │ │ │ │ NOTE: Consult the "Console Reference" for more information on this command.│ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════ DISK (for SFT NetWare only) ════════════════════════╕ │ Purpose: Use this command to monitor the status of network disk drives. │ │ The columns in the DISK screen contain the following information: │ │ │ │ The first column contains the logical drive number for each of the drives. │ │ The "cha" column indicates the drive channel. │ │ The "con" column indicates the hard disk controller board number. │ │ The "drv" column indicates the physical drive number of the disk drive. │ │ The "stat" column indicates the status of the drive: │ │ "M-xx" indicates the drive is set up for mirroring (or duplexing)-the │ │ number after the M (the xx) is the other drive in the mirrored pair. │ │ "D-xx" indicates the drive had been set up for mirroring, but is "dead". │ │ "OK" indicates that the drive is set up for HotFix. │ │ "NO HOT" indicates that HotFix is not functioning or has been turned off. │ │ "OFF" indicates that the disk drive is not operating. │ │ The "IO Err" column indicates the no. of input/output errors that have │ │ occurred on the drive (i.e. how many times data has been redirected). │ │ The "free" column indicates the # of unused blocks in the redirection area.│ │ The "used" column indicates the # of used blocks in the redirection area. │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════════════════ DISK * ══════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: see the "DISK" and "DISK volume_name" commands.│ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list all the volumes on the file server and │ │ their corresponding physical drive numbers. If the volume's │ │ drive is mirrored, the mirror drive number will also be shown. │ │ │ │ Example: "DISK *" will produce a screen SIMILAR to the following: │ │ │ │ FILE SERVER VOLUMES │ │ │ │ Volume Name Phy Drv Mir Drv │ │ SYS 00 01 │ │ VOL1 02 │ │ VOL2 03 │ │ │ │ There are 3 volumes on the server; volume SYS: is the only one mirrored. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═════════════════════════════ DISK volume_name ═════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: see the "DISK" and "DISK *" commands. │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to list information about a specific volume. │ │ │ │ Example: "DISK SYS" will produce a screen SIMILAR to the following: │ │ Information for Volume SYS │ │ │ │ Physical drive number :00 │ │ Physical drive type :IBM PC AT hard disk or equivalent │ │ IO errors on this drive :00000 │ │ Redirection blocks available :0112 │ │ Redirection blocks used :0010 │ │ Mirror physical drive number :01 │ │ Mirror physical drive type :IBM PC AT hard disk or equivalent │ │ IO errors on this drive :00002 │ │ Redirection blocks available :0444 │ │ Redirection blocks used :0026 │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒══════════════════════ MOUNT [removable volume number] ═════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: MOUNT [PACK] │ │ │ │ Use this command to put a new removable volume into service. Use │ │ the MOUNT command along with the DISMOUNT command to change a │ │ removable volume. │ │ │ │ The keyword PACK should be used when mounting diskette packs. │ │ Each diskette pack is actually several volumes, (because each │ │ diskette contains one volume). The MOUNT PACK format allows you │ │ to mount all the diskette pack volumes with one command entry. │ │ │ │ The configuration and volume name for the MOUNTed volume(s) will │ │ be checked, and if successful, a console message will appear that │ │ indicates a successful mount of the volume(s) specified. │ │ NOTE: You cannot use this command with NetWare 68 file servers. │ │ Example: MOUNT 2 will mount volume 2. (The volume number is optional). │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒════════════════════ DISMOUNT [removable volume number] ════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: DISMOUNT [PACK] │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command along with the MOUNT command to change a │ │ removable volume. Before a new removable volume can be mounted, │ │ the current volume must be dismounted with the DISMOUNT command. │ │ DISMOUNT closes all open files and ensures that all directories │ │ are updated before the removable volume is physically removed │ │ from service. │ │ │ │ The keyword PACK should be used when dismounting diskette packs. │ │ Each diskette pack is actually several volumes, (because each │ │ diskette contains one volume). The DISMOUNT PACK format allows │ │ you to mount all the diskette pack volumes with one command entry.│ │ │ │ NOTE: You cannot use this command with NetWare 68 file servers. │ │ Example: DISMOUNT 2 will dismount removable volume 2. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════ UNMIRROR nn ═══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to shut down a drive and turn off its mirroring │ │ feature. When you unmirror a drive, the other drive in the │ │ mirrored pair will continue to function normally under HotFix, │ │ but will not be protected by mirroring or duplexing. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the drive to be unmirrored. Use the DISK │ │ command to see the number of each drive. │ │ │ │ NOTE: You can use the UNMIRROR command to take a drive out of the │ │ REMIRROR queue. The drive will (A) be taken out of the remirror │ │ queue, (B) stop being remirrored if it is in process, or (C) be │ │ unmirrored if it has already been remirrored. │ │ │ │ Example: UNMIRROR 01 will turn off drive 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════ REMIRROR nn ═══════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to restore SFT mirroring or duplexing protection │ │ to a pair of disk drives after one of the drives in the mirrored │ │ or duplexed pair has failed or has been shut off. │ │ │ │ nn = The number of the drive to be remirrored. Use the DISK │ │ command to see the number of each drive. │ │ │ │ When you execute the REMIRROR command, data on the operating drive│ │ will be copied onto the newly-restored drive. When all of the │ │ data on both drives is once again identical, the two drives will │ │ be synchronized, and mirroring or duplexing will be restored. │ │ │ │ Note: Refer to the Console Reference for more information. │ │ Example: REMIRROR 01 will restore and re-activate mirroring for drive 1. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ╒═══════════════════════════════════ VAP ════════════════════════════════════╕ │ │ │ Alternative command format: none │ │ │ │ Purpose: Use this command to view a list of all Value-Added Processes │ │ (VAPs) that are loaded with the NetWare Operating System. │ │ Commands used by each VAP are also listed. │ │ │ │ If no VAPs have been loaded, the server will respond to this │ │ command with a message similar to the following: │ │ │ │ "No Value-Added processes have been defined." │ │ │ │ Example: "VAP" will show a list of VAPs loaded on the file server │ │ with thier associated keyword commands. │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
