7314.0. "Solution for diskless?!!" by 21272::YUKARI () Tue Jan 28 1997 13:04



	

	Hello,



	I have the following situation:


	1 Server Netware V4.11 
	30 PC 386 and 486 running Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroup (local)
	20 PC 386, 2 or 4 MB RAM running DOS from the Server (diskless)

	
	We are suggesting 1 AlphaServer 1000 running Digital Unix.
	The costumer needs terminal emulation and file service.

	So,

	- Pathworks for Digital Unix (Lan Manager) 
	- Pathworks for Dos and Windows V6.0 (Lan Manager) CCS for 30
	  pc's with Windows.

	But, what can I do with the 20 pc's diskless?

	Someone have any idea?
   	

	Thank You!!!

7314.1	Remote Boot RPL maybe...	JAMIN::TELESETSKY	`Tue Jan 28 1997 14:41`	7
	Since you are going to use PATHWORKS Client v6.0, you might want to use the 20 diskless PC's with Remote Boot (RPL). If they have 4 megs of RAM and an adapter card which remote boot is enabled, they could remote boot and have personal shares located on the server for their windows and other software etc as long as the server has remote boot software on it too.
7314.2	Netware coexistence!	21272::YUKARI	`Wed Jan 29 1997 07:12`	15
	Hi Thank you for your fast reply. I know that PW with remote boot doesn't work with Netware. I need to connect on Netware Server and PW Server. Also, terminal emulation. I supose that Remote boot won't work, will it? Best Regards Yukari
7314.3	use PW netware	KERNEL::BURNST	`Wed Jan 29 1997 08:42`	6
	What about a PW Netware Server for the File access and depandant on the reqd use of the TE use NVT. Trev. (PW does both Netware and Lm services)
7314.4	a doubt?!	21272::YUKARI	`Wed Jan 29 1997 11:29`	14
	Ok! How can I do? After connection from Netware's file service with Remote Boot, manually I connect the pw file service and then I run Sethost application. Is this correct? Does sethost application automaticly load NVT program? ThanXs!! Yukari
7314.5	No NetWare from remote boot, but vt320 YES!	JAMIN::TELESETSKY	`Wed Jan 29 1997 17:40`	9
	Hi, No PATHWORKS remote boot will not work with NetWare, but in V6.0 of the PATHWORKS Client you can now run pwsetup locally on the remote boot client to configure for Vt320, PATHWORKS Tutorial, and PATHWORKS Information Shelf, if you have windows 3.1 installed. Regards, Marsha T.
7314.6	NVT from vlm's or nvt.exe	KERNEL::BURNST	`Fri Jan 31 1997 10:05`	16
	As Iam not sure of how the novell remote boot works the following is what happens normaly to get nvt working. On the PW NW VMS server configure as NVT server (part of the PWNW config). If the PC's are loading VLM's then add the line vlm = vlm = nvt.vlm to the Netware dos requester section of the net.cfg file. This also needs the nvt.vlm file there to load. If using ipx netx type commands there is an nvt.exe to load. Then using sethost will give the option to use NVT. There are restrictions on the number of connections per PC (1) and can be a little bit finicky on commands typed to get there. Trev. UK CSC.
