Novell NetWare 3-5

Restart the Printer Server

The following procedure allows the printer server to read the new configuration in the file server’s bindery. Recycling power on the Emulex printer server will also accomplish the same rediscovery.

From the PRINTER SERVER INFORMATION menu:

1)Select PRINTER SERVER STATUS/CONTROL.

NOTE: This option appears only if the printer server is powered up and connected to the network and the configuration was successful.

2)Select SERVER INFO.

3)Select CURRENT SERVER STATUS.

4)Select RUNNING.

5)Press ENTER.

6)Select DOWN or GOING DOWN AFTER CURRENT JOBS.

7)Press ESC until the message Exit PCONSOLE appears.

8)Select YES to exit PCONSOLE.

Configure as PSERVER - NetWare 4.xx

With the release of NetWare 4.xx, NetWare Discovery Services (NDS) has replaced the bindery as a repository of resource information. Configuration for PSERVER varies for bindery emulation and NDS. Please refer to the appropriate section to configure Pserver.

When Novell NetWare is configured to use the Emulex printer server:

•Up to 128 file servers (default is 16) may service the printer server, with a maximum of 256 queues.

NOTE: NDS objects can also be defined and administrated using NetWare Administrator™ in Windows and NetAdmin™ in DOS environments.
