Catherine,

Is there an easy way for me to determine if these are NSS volumes or
traditional volumes? I suspect traditional since my notes say the
computer had been running Netware 3.12. But I don't know when NSS
became common.

Also, I don't currently have SLES nor OES, but this may give me enough
reason to upgrade.

Thanks
Greg

If you are using Linux for Open Enterprise Server, NSS volumes are
supported, but NetWare traditional volumes are not. NSS requires Open
Enterprise Server; you cannot set up NSS volumes on straight SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server only.

For OES Linux:

1) Make sure that the NSS services are loaded and running. In YaST, click
System > Runlevel Editor > Expert Mode. The NSS module should be enabled. If
they are not there, you need to go to the Software Install and install them,
then enable them. Any changes you make do not take effect until you reboot
the server.
2) If NSS services are running, the devices should mount automatically on
reboot.
3) Use the Storage role in iManager or use NSSMU to mount and manage the
volume.

Resend, the below bounced the first time?
