Jan 18, 2006  Once you have the install media you should create a new virtual machine with at least 512mb RAM and an IDE virtual hard disk (you can use SCSI under Virtual Server but with a NetWare guest it will perform worse than IDE). However this is harder with Netware 6.5 as for some reason it refuses to work with our floppy drive.

NetWare 6.5, also known as “Nakoma” has been recently released as a public beta. With a summer release just around the corner and the beta available for download from the Novell site, NetWare administrators should start to become familiar with this newest member of the family.

The NetWare 6.5 installation process differs in key areas from previous versions of NetWare. Prior to this release, installation required the administrator to mix and match the components desired for a particular installation. For example, if you wanted a DNS and DHCP server, you needed to select both of these components.

Beginning with this release, NetWare introduces templates called ”server patterns” that ease the installation process. Common server configurations are included with the installation. DNS and DHCP are commonly installed on a single server so NetWare 6.5 includes a DNS/DHCP server pattern, among others. The process Insert the first CD of the set into the server’s CD ROM drive and power on the machine. At the initial menu, select the option to install a new server by typing I at the prompt that asks if you want to Install A New Server or Create Boot Floppy. You are then asked for which type of CD ROM drives you would like to search for—IDE, SCSI, or both.

This option will depend upon the hardware in the server to which you are installing NetWare. The NetWare installation will then begin.

On the first screen of the NetWare 6.5 installation, shown in Figure A, you are asked to identify the country, code page, and keyboard layout that will be used for this server. Since I am in the United States, I have chosen USA with code page 437 and a US keyboard layout.

These are the default options. If you need to change these options, choose Modify and make the appropriate selections.

When you are ready, choose Continue to move on. Figure A This is the locale selection screen. License agreements are always present in installations these days and NetWare 6.5 is no exception. If you have some time, feel free to read through both of the license agreements. When you are done, press [F10] to continue the installation. You’ll then see the Welcome screen shown in Figure B. NetWare 6.5 supports two different installation methods—express and custom.

An express installation allows the installer to automatically detect components and will install them with default settings. A custom installation gives you more control over the process but requires that you have more in-depth knowledge of the hardware you are using and the software you wish to use. For the purposes of this article, I will choose the express option.

Figure C Here is the express installation hardware information. Once this step is complete, the installer will begin to copy the files that will be needed to complete the installation process. After files are copied, if the installer happens to locate multiple drivers that it thinks will work for your hardware, it will prompt you to choose the one you would like to use, regardless of whether you have chosen Express or Custom as the installation.

As you can see in Figure D, the installer has located the emulated Ethernet adapter on my VMWare system. I will choose the PCNTW.LAN option as per the VMWare hardware specs.

Figure D Choose the appropriate driver if multiple drivers are supported. Once again, required installation files will be copied after driver selections are made.

The graphical portion of the installer starts immediately afterwards. Choose your pattern Being introduced in NetWare 6.5, server patterns are templates that can be used to simplify the server installation procedure. Rather than manually selecting components, selecting a pattern will install the components required for a particular server use. For example, choose the NetWare AMP pattern to install a NetWare server with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. Or, choose the Pre-Migration Server option to install enough components to allow this installation to assume the identity of an existing NetWare server.

For this example, shown in Figure E, I will choose the Basic NetWare File Server option that includes Apache, Tomcat, eDirectory 8.7, a JVM, NICI, Storage Management Services, NetWare Remote Manager, and a certificate server. Choose the Customized NetWare Server option to manually select components. Figure E Here is where you select the server pattern to install. You’ll then see the Server Details screen shown in Figure F. Diablo 2 no cd crack 1.0 0.1. Each pattern includes different components and system requirements all of which are detailed on the next screen of the installation. The top of the screen provides a description of the pattern while the lower section provides both minimum and recommended system requirements.
