ISSUE/PROBLEM
Location Independence
You will notice that NetWare Lite resources are location
independent. Suppose you create a network directory named
ALL_APPS on a server named DEPT_SERVER. Server DEPT_SERVER is a
8 MHz 286 machine with a 40 MB hard disk. All clients map drives
to ALL_APPS and use it every day. Now suppose you buy a 50 MHz
486 machine with a 1 GB disk drive on it. You want to move the
network directory ALL_APPS to this new machine. You install this
new machine and call it HOT_SERVER. You can then create a new
network directory on this new server and call it ALL_APPS (same
name as before). You then copy the files from DEPT_SERVER to
HOT_SERVER. ALL_APPS can now be removed from DEPT_SERVER. All
your clients will now use ALL_APPS from HOT_SERVER and nothing
need be changed from the client's perspective. The clients don't
need to know that the location of the network directory ALL_APPS
has moved. This same principle applies to network printers.
