V. Create the NetWare Volume

How you create the NetWare volume depends on where you installed NetWare.

For drives that do not contain the NetWare 4.2 operating system, see
"Create Volumes on Drives that do not Contain NetWare 4.2."

If NetWare 4.2 was installed on a disk array, see "Create Volumes on
Drives That Contain NetWare 4.2."

Create Volumes on Drives that do

not Contain NetWare 4.2

Do the following to create a volume that does not contain the NetWare 4.2
operating system:

1. The Available Disk Options menu is displayed. Select Volume Options.

Press Enter.

2. Press the Inset key or the F3 key to add a volume segment.

3. The available free space is displayed. Press Enter.

4. Select Make this segment a new volume. Press Enter.

5. Type the volume name. Press Enter.

6. Edit the disk segment size to be the actual physical size of the logical

drive.

7. Press the F10 key to save the changes.

8. The Volume Disk Segment list shows the volume size. Press F10 to save.

9. The volume name and size are displayed. Press Esc to save.

10. Select Yes when asked "Save Volume changes?"

11. Supply the administrator name and login.

12. The changes are displayed. Press Enter to continue.

13. Mount the volume.

The new volume is now ready for use.

Assume, for example, that the volume is called VOL1 and that its physical
capacity is 12 GB. Its partition is 144 GB. Leave the remaining virtual storage
space (144 GB minus 12 GB) as unused. You can write data up to 12 GB on the
drive.

Sometimes it is desirable to have the network operating system reside on a disk
array. The advantage is that the NOS resides on a redundant drive.
