Installing the Server Utility Programs

Installing the Server Utility Programs

Note: If you are installing the OS/2, Novell NetWare/Intranetware, or SCO OpenServer versions of the server utility programs, you must use diskettes.

You can install the server utility programs in one of two ways:

•  Using ServerGuide (see (below) 'Installing the Server Utility Programs Using ServerGuide')
•  Using diskettes (see (below) 'Installing the Server Utility Programs Using Diskettes')

Installing the Server Utility Programs Using ServerGuide:

You can install the server utility programs using the CoPilot feature of ServerGuide. Refer to the ServerGuide package for more information. Once you have installed the server utility programs, go to 'Using the Server Utility Programs' for information on how to use them.

Installing the Server Utility Programs Using Diskettes:

This section contains installation instructions and information about using the IBM OS/2 server utility, Microsoft Windows NT server utility, Novell NetWare/IntraNetware server utility, and SCO OpenServer utility.

Note: You must first make the ServeRAID diskettes using the Diskette Factory feature of ServerGuide. Refer to the ServerGuide package for instructions.
