796.0. "CDROM as a volume" by SHOGUN::JAMBU_S (Skating away on the thin ice of a new day) Mon Mar 31 1997 16:12

    IS there a way to make a disk drive /CD-READER on a OpenVMS system
    available to a windows NT (Map network drive) system.  If so
    what version of Pathworks do I need and how do I do it.
    
    I remember doing the use command long time back for the 
    same to connect to an account on the VMS system, but in this
    	case I need to make a drive available and not an account.
    
    Thanks

796.1Just like a normal disk !KERNEL::BURNSTTue Apr 01 1997 06:4510
    
    Hi,
    
    Using sconsole to create a volume to the cdrom as per any normal disk
    and point the share to the top level dir.
    Rember that you will have to restart the server to mount and offer the
    new volume. After that it should work just by mapping to it as per a
    normal netware share.

    What do I need to get sconsole on my system.  I guess it needs the
    installation of some kind of server.  What is it?

    I have installed the server.  I have created a service from sconsole.
    How do I get my windowsnt machine to see it
796.4just map to it as per normal netware.KERNEL::BURNSTThu Apr 03 1997 08:2614
    Ok, 
    This is the PW Netware confersence so I had expected that your VAX
    server was running PW netware and as such sconsole is the management
    interface to PW netware. Once this is up and running and you have added
    the volume and restarted pw netware (quirk reqd to mount new vols)
    Now from your NT box you must have a NETWARE client configured on that
    box and then either from explorer or network neighbourhood find your pw
    netware server and then expand it to find your volume and then select
    map network drive and map to it. This will ask you to log on. As long
    as you have a license to allow you to do this then it will work. The
    license req is either on the server pwnwvms05.00 be running pw32 to get
    a pw nw client license.
