- Summary of NetWare Utilities
-
-
-
- This section lists and briefly describes NetWare 386
- utilities as follows:
-
- ■ New Utilities
- ■ Modified Utilities
- ■ Unmodified Utilities
- ■ Utilities Not Included in NetWare 386
-
-
-
-
- New Utilities
-
- New utilities include utilities that are newly written.
- For example, the installation utility for NetWare 386 is
- completely new, rather than just a revised version of the
- old Installation utility. New utilities, listed
- alphabetically, include the following:
-
- Utility Format
-
- ALLOW command line
- CHKDIR command line
- DSPACE menu
- FILER menu
- INSTALL menu (NLM)
- MONITOR menu (NLM)
- NBACKUP menu
- PCONSOLE menuUtilityFormat
-
- PSC command line
- RPRINTER command line
- UPGRADE menu
-
- ALLOW Enables a user to set and modify the
- Inherited Rights Mask of a directory or
- file.
-
- CHKDIR Enables a user to view user disk space
- restrictions including volume and directory
- restrictions.
-
- DSPACE Enables supervisors to view and set disk
- space restrictions for users both at the
- volume and directory levels.
-
- FILER Handles volumes up to 32TB, files up to
- 4GB, 32-character names, case-sensitive
- file and directory names, new trustee
- rights, new file and directory attributes,
- and the new file and directory Inherited
- Rights Masks.
-
- INSTALL Enables network installers to create and
- maintain NetWare partitions and volumes on
- hard disks. This utility is a NetWare
- Loadable Module (NLM).
-
- MONITOR This utility will have most of the same
- functions as the NetWare 286 v2.1x monitor
- console command and v2.1x FCONSOLE utility.
- It is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) and will
- have windows that display information about
- utilization percentages and overall activity,
- cache memory status, user activity, disk drives
- and volumes on the server, LAN drivers, and
- NLMs.
- NBACKUP Replaces MACBACK, LARCHIVE, LRESTORE, NARCHIVE,
- and NRESTORE utilities. Allows users to back
- up data to local drives, optical drives, and
- other network drives. Both NBACKUP and UPGRADE
- have been designed to support DOS and non-DOS
- devices. For NetWare 386 v3.0, various DOS
- devices and a Wangtek cartridge tape drive are
- supported. NetWare 386 v3.1 provides Device
- Independent Backup Interface (DIBI) and, therefore,
- will support other third party device drivers.
-
- PCONSOLE PConsole allows clients to communicate with
- the printer, including setting up the print
- server, controlling network printing, and
- viewing printer information. User interface
- is modified to include information on
- printer conditions. For example, the print
- server notifies clients when their print
- jobs are finished and notifies a list of
- clients when a printer needs attention, such
- as when a new form needs to be mounted or
- when a printer is out of paper.
-
- PSC Print Server Command (PSC) is a command line
- utility enabling clients to control printer
- servers and network printers quickly.
-
- RPRINTER Remote Printer (RPRINTER) is a command line
- utility enabling clients to connect or
- disconnect a remote printer from a print
- server.
-
- UPGRADE Upgrade allows an installer to upgrade to
- NetWare 386 v3.0 from NetWare v2.1.
-

- The following utilities existed in previous versions of
- NetWare and have been modified for NetWare 386. The

- SYS:SYSTEM.CHKVOL Displays the following information: server
- and volume name, total volume space, total
- bytes occupied by total number of files,
- unused bytes on volume, and bytes available
- to requesting user. The total volume space
- can approach 32TB. However, the utility can
- show only 4GB maximum. For any space over
- 4GB, the utility simply returns 4GB. It
- also returns information about deleted
- files.
-
- CAPTURE Modified for use with the PRINT SERVER NLM.
-
- DISKSET Allows you to check and change, if

- attributes if you choose.NDIR Displays Macintosh names. Also supports
- varying disk allocation block sizes, 4GB
- files, trustee rights for directories and
- files, and Inherited Rights Masks for files

-
- PRINTCON Supports the workgroup manager.

-
- PSERVER Provides printing services for NetWare 386
- servers. In many ways the differences from
- previous NetWare releases will be
- transparent to the user. Primary additional
- functionality is found in the ability to
- completely control all facets of the print
- server from any workstation. These
- functions may include bringing down the
- print server, stopping the printer, pausing
- the printer, rewinding the printer, querying
- the printer status, and others. The print
- server will also have the added feature of
- notifying users of job completion, notifying
- operators of printer service needs, and
- controlling remote printers attached to
- remote workstations on the network.
