Problem: This information applies to version 5.6 for Novell Netware. These are the installation notes for InterBase version 5.6 for Novell Netware. Solution: InterBase for Novell Netware is installed from a client machine. After installation of the software you will have to load the server from the Netware console. To install, follow these steps: 1. From the client machine, map a drive to the Netware server's SYS volume. For example: map f:=netware_server_namesys: Note: It will prompt for your user name and password if you are not already logged onto the Netware server. Make sure that you are logging in as Supervisor. InterBase 5.6 can only install to the SYS volume with Supervisor privileges. 2. Run the InterBase setup.exe program on the CD from the client machine. When prompted pick the drive that you mapped to the SYS volume in step 1 (above). Follow the rest of instructions on the installation screens to complete the installation. 3. After the software is installed on the machine, InterBase licenses need to be added to enable the InterBase Server to function. To license the InterBase, we provide an NLM to be run on the server. a) Load the license registration utility, IB_LICEN.NLM. You can do that at the console with the command: LOAD IB_LICEN b) Once you are at the interactive prompt: iblicen> you can type help to get a listing of the available commands. More detailed explanation of using the license registration tool is documented in the Operations Guide. Here is an example that shows how to install a license then list the currently installed licenses. **** To add the certificates: **** Iblicen> add -id IDNUMBER -key KEYSTRING Note: the key is case-sensitive and should be typed in exactly as it appears on the certificate. **** To display a list of installed licenses: **** Iblicen>display 4. After installing the licenses, you need to start the InterBase server. From the Netware console enter the command: load iserver InterBase Server is now up and running. If you want the InterBase server to be loaded upon the boot of the Netware server, you should put the load command "load iserver" in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. InterBase requires CLIB and MATHLIB NLMs, which Netware will load automatically. If TCP/IP is used as the communication protocol, you should make sure that the TCPIP NLM is loaded before loading of the ISERVER NLM.
