New volumes on a Netware 5.1 server.

[Magzy]

Hi,

Apologies if this is really easy, but I'm a total novice when it comes to Netware Servers (well after 3.12 anyway).

System - Novell Small Business Suite 5.1 (Support Pack 02).
Running on a Compaq ML-330 server.

Basically, what I am trying to do is to replace an existing volume on the server with a new one. I have managed to rename (through the console using nwconfig) the existing volume, and create another volume with the same name as the old one had originally.

However, now when I try to access the volume (XP machine running version 4.9 of the client tools) I get a "volume not accessible" error message. I can access the old volume fine (using its renamed name).

Sadly, I do not have the supervisor password for the server, but I have a username and context which appears to have administrative rights (I can change the volume setttings on the server for example).

I am thinking that it's some sort of issue with the rights on the new volume but I am unsure as how to set them using the nwadmn32.exe program.

Any advise or assistance would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Magz...

Can you see the volume as an object in NWADMIN? If not, go into NWCONFIG on the server, into the Directory Services (or something like that...) menu and choose the option that says (again something like) Update Volumes into DS.

That did it!

Thanks. Things sure have changed since 3.12 .
