Adding mounted volume objects to the Directory

[Provogeek]

In NetWare 6 you can no longer use NWCONFIG to add mounted volumes to the directory, it tells you to use either Remote Manager or ConsoleOne. I have searched high and low trying to find were in these utilities you add the mounted volumes to the directory. Does anyone know were in either tool you can perform this function?

I always worked around this problem by just using DSREPAIR -A - Advaced Options Menu - Check Volume Objects and trustees to get the volume object created.

Just for sanity reasons I would like to know were in Remote Manager or ConsoleOne you do this.

will have a look on monday. cant see ive seen option

certainly i used the dsrepair option way last night - as a migration failed at bigin migration stage and i needed to use the restore from $hwnds.bak dir and the tid tells you to run the dsrepair as above

It's on the volume tab in ConsoleOne. SERVER PROPERTIES => MEDIA TAB => NSS LOGICAL VOLUMES => UPDATE NDS

Also works on the Traditional Volumes tab.

I will agree that I liked NWCONFIG better for the job. C1 is awkward because it will let you do it for any volume, not just the ones that are not currently in NDS. And if you choose one that IS already there, it removes it and then recreates it. So you want to pay attention to what you're doing.
