Before you replace the hard drive, you must obtain the following information about the drive:

|
| • Size of the drive | |
|
|
| • Size, format, and volume label assigned to each drive partition | |
|
|
| • NetWare Directory Services (NDS), the NDS tree topology, and the | |
|
|
| location of server objects, partitions and replicas, and bindery context | |
|
|
| settings | |
|
|
| You can obtain information about each drive using: | |
|
|
| • install (or nwconfig on NetWare 5.0). This server utility provides | |
|
|
| information about each hard drive including each volume segment on the | |
|
|
| drive. | |
|
|
| • netadmin in DOS or the NetWorker Administrator program (nwadmin) | |
|
