Answers
1. C is correct. Novell has included several new features with NetWare 6 while updating many of the features that were part of earlier releases of the operating system. These new and updated features include:
- iPrint - enables users to print from remote sites using the Internet.
- iFolder - lets users have access to the latest version of their data when and where they need it, from a regularly used computer. Users can access and manage files with an Internet connection and a browser that is Java-enabled.
- Novell Native File Access Pack - enables Windows workstations to store files on a NetWare server without using a Novell Client.
- NetStorage - provides users with secure access to files with nothing to install or download as long as the user has an Internet connection. Data can be accessed with a browser or Microsoft's Web Folders.
- NetDrive - provides a solution to users who need to map a drive to their Web or FTP server but only have an Internet connection and do not have the Novell client installed on their workstation.
- NetWare Web Access - provides a Web-based portal so that users can access resources on the network from a browser.
- NetWare Remote Manager - is a web-based utility that administrators can use to monitor and manage a NetWare server. It was formerly called Management Portal.
- iManager - is a Web-based utility that lets a NetWare administrator configure and manage printing, licensing, DNS/DHCP, and Role-based administration.
2. B is correct. The difference between an upgrade and a migration is that an upgrade occurs when NetWare 6 is installed on a machine that has an earlier version of NetWare already installed. This is often referred to as an in-place upgrade. A migration occurs when the NetWare Migration Wizard is used to copy data files and the eDirectory from one server to another server. This process is often referred to as an across-the-wire migration.
For a server to be a candidate for a NetWare 6 upgrade, it must currently be running one of the following:
- NetWare 5.1 with Support Pack 2 or later
- NetWare 5 with Support Pack 6 or later
- NetWare 4.11 with Support Pack 8 or later
- NetWare 4.2 with Support Pack 8 or later
If you meet one of the operating system requirements, but are running ZENworks for Servers 2 on the server to be upgraded, then you have to install ZENworks for Servers 2 Support Pack 1 before running the upgrade. All of the other options provided are possible, but are not necessary for a NetWare 6 Upgrade.
3. C is correct. One of the system requirements on a NetWare 6 server is a DOS partition that has at least 200 MB of available space. The DOS partition is necessary on a NetWare 6 server to boot the computer and hold the folder and files that load NetWare. As in earlier versions of NetWare, NetWare 6 is still loaded from the NWSERVER folder, which is, by default, found on the C:\ drive of the DOS partition. The executable that loads the NetWare 6 server is SERVER.exe, which is found in the NWSERVER folder. Though the minimum requirement for the DOS partition is 200 MB free space, it is recommended that the optimal DOS partition be at least 200 MB plus an amount equal to the amount of physical memory installed in the server. If a server has 512MB RAM, then the optimal DOS partition is at least 712 MB. The reason behind this is to provide room for a core dump should the server ABEND.
4. C is correct. eDirectory 8.6 is a scalable, high performance, and secure Directory service. It uses an indexed database called FLAIM that uses log files, as opposed to TTS, to back out and roll forward transactions when system failures occur. Four types of files make up the database. They are NDS.DB, NDS*.LOG, NDS.01… and Streams Files. The control file for the database is the NDS.DB. The file that tracks transactions that have not been completed is the NDS*.LOG. NDS.01, NDS.02, etc. are the files that contain all of the records and indexes found on a server. The maximum size for NDS.01, NDS.02, etc. is 2 GB. The Streams Files contain information about print job configurations and login scripts. Streams Files have an NDS extension. RECMAN is the name of the database that shipped with NDS in NetWare 4.x. The files that made up RECMAN are PARTITIO.NDS, ENTRY.NDS, VALUE.NDS, BLOCK.NDS, and STREAMS.
5. A is correct. Two tasks that are part of maintaining eDirectory 8.6 are:
- Running regular, complete health checks of the directory.
- Configuring eDirectory cache for optimal performance.
There are two parts to eDirectory cache - block cache and entry cache. Block cache caches the physical blocks from a hard drive. Entry cache caches the logical structure of the eDirectory. The default interval for cache browsing is 15 seconds, which can be modified. Update operations primarily use block cache, while operations that primarily browse the tree use entry cache. Block and entry cache both help in query performance. Novell recommends a 1:1 ratio of block cache to the size of eDirectory database, and a 1:2 or 1:4 ratio for entry cache.
6. D is correct.With the advent of NetWare 5.x, Novell decided to move towards an IP environment. Part of the reason for this was the amount of traffic that IPX caused. One of the biggest IPX traffic offenders was SAP, the Service Advertising Protocol. SAP is and was a bandwidth hog. To bypass SAP in an IP environment, Novell came up with SLP, the Service Location Protocol. SLP allows TCP/IP networks and hosts to dynamically locate network services. NetWare 5.x shipped with SLP, while NetWare 6 has an enhanced version called SLPv2.
At a NetWare 6 server console prompt, an administrator can enter DISPLAY SLP SERVICES. This will generate a list of SLPv2 discovered services. SLPv2 services that are Novell registered end with a .NOVELL. Examples of common Novell SLPv2 services are:
- BINDERY.NOVELL used to provide access to the NetWare 6 file system.
- NDAP.NOVELL stands for the eDirectory partition.
- NLS.METER.NOVELL verifies that network connections are properly licensed.
- SMDR.NOVELL offers backup and restore services .
7. A and B are correct. The Novell Storage System, NSS, is a high-performance file system designed to meet the needs of large capacity storage. It is an ideal system for large size databases. It provides rapid access to large data files and can store files whose maximum size is 8 terabytes. The NSS implementation in NetWare 6 supports the following features:
-Overbooking
-Multiple logical volumes in a Single Storage Pool
-Logical Volume and Pool Maintenance
-Error Correction and Data Recovery
-Flush Files Immediately
-File Snapshot
-Modified File List
-Clustering
-File Compression
-Data Shredding
-User Space Restrictions
-Directory Space Restrictions
-CD Support
-Hot Fix
-Software RAID Support
The NSS implementation in NetWare 6 does not support Auditing or Block suballocation. These two features are supported in traditional NetWare volumes.
8. D is correct. NetWare has traditionally been known as a Queue-based printing environment. With the release of NetWare 5.x, Novell positioned NetWare to change its printing focus. With NetWare 5.x Novell shifted away from Queue-based printing to Novell Distributed Print Services, NDPS. NDPS is a printer-based environment. Users submit jobs, not to a queue, but directly to a printer. Although the printing focus has changed, NDPS is backward compatible to queue-based printing. Novell has combined the functionality of the printer, print queue, and print server from queue-based printing into one entity known as an NDPS printer object. iPrint expands on NDPS printing and enables users to print from remote sites using the Internet. According to Novell Education, there are four system requirements for iPrint. These are:
--NDPS Broker
--NDPS Printer Object
--NDPS Manager
--iManager
To load the NDPS Manager on a NetWare 6 server, an administrator would enter at a console prompt, or in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, the following command: LOAD NDSPM, followed by the name of the manager.
For example, if the name of the NDPS Manager is MANAGER the command would be: LOAD NDPSM MANAGER. Since NetWare 6 does not require the LOAD statement, the command can be abbreviated to: NDPSM MANAGER.
9. A is correct. NetWare Web Access provides a Web-based portal so that users can access resources on the network from a browser. It is also defined as a Java servlet that provides users with Web access to critical network resources, in the form of gadgets. A gadget is a link from the default Web Access page to specific NetWare content. The default Web Access URL for a NetWare 6 server with an IP address of 10.0.0.61 is: http://10.0.0.61:2211/webaccess/ This URL requires the leading http:// and the closing backslash / for users to have access to the Web Access home page.
Assuming a server IP address of 10.0.0.61, the default URLs for several other NetWare 6 Web services are:
-- http://10.0.0.61 - will access either the Apache Web server or NetWare Enterprise Web server, depending on the installation configuration.
-- http://10.0.0.61:8008 - will access the NetWare Remote Manager without going through the NetWare Web Manager. https://10.0.0.61:8009 performs the same function.
-- http://10.0.0.61:2200 - will access the NetWare Web Manager, which acts as a portal to numerous Web services, including iPrint.
-- http://10.0.0.61/oneNet/NetStorage - will access NetStorage and provide users with secure access to their files from any location on the Internet with no additional software installed on their computer.
-- http://10.0.0.61:631/IPP and https://10.0.0.61:443/IPP - provide access to the iPrint home page, which includes access to the iPrint client.
10. B is correct. Novell's Clustering Services 1.6 ships with NetWare 6. It is a multinode clustering system that provides continuous availability of files and applications. NetWare 6 ships with a 2-node license for an NCS 1.6 cluster. Several key terms that apply to NCS and High Availability solutions are:
-- Availability refers to the percentage of time a system is on-line for user access.
-- Uptime refers to the time the NCS service is working.
-- Downtime refers to the time a service is not available.
-- Reliability refers to the time before a system is likely to fail.
-- Failover refers to the process that occurs when a failed node's services and resources are restarted on a surviving node in a NetWare 6 cluster.
-- Failback refers to the process that occurs when the resources on a failed node are returned to the way they were before a failover.
-- Migration refers to the process of shifting resources to other nodes in a cluster before a server fails.
-- SAN is a network of shared servers and storage devices, often referred to as a cluster.
NCS 1.6 lets you configure up to 32 NetWare 6 servers in a high-availability cluster. NCS clusters can be managed with ConsoleOne and NetWare Remote Manager.
