However when NetWare is up, UNIX backups of NetWare/9000 files is not possible. Only Netware client based utilities utilizing NetWare Trustee APIs are capable of backing up files and trustee rights together when NetWare/9000 is active. Q: Will future versions of NetWare/9000 support a TCP/IP stack? A: HP is working on a prototype implementation of TCP/IP tunneling, where IPX packets are inserted in TCP/IP datagrams. If the performance of this solution is adequate it will be a part of the December 1992/January 1993 release. HP continues to be interested in a TCP/IP stack for NetWare and will track what Novell provides in the Intel environment. Q: Is NetWare supported on the Multi-Processor(HP-UX 8.06) systems? A: NetWare is NOT supported on HP-UX 8.06. The first release of Netware on HP-UX 9.0(Feb93) will be MP-safe but not MP-scalable. Q: Is a network printer node counted against my user license on the NetWare server? A: Yes if the network printer is an LJIIIsi or equivalent which is directly attached to the LAN. Remote printers attached to other Unix servers or the HP DTC do not take up a user license. Q: How can I spool my UNIX output to a NetWare printer? A: Use NPCAT with NetWare. Q: How can I receive a demo copy of NetWare for the HP 9000. A: See Demo SW and Manauls section of this material. Q: When will Native NetWare be available on the HP 9000? A: Native NetWare will not be available on HP9000 or HP3000. The NetWare PA-RISC product will run directly over PA-RISC, in the same way as the operating systems of HP 9000s and HP 3000s operate over PA-RISC. NetWare is an operating system in it's own right and so can standalone without either MPE or HP-UX. The advantages of Netware running on the HP-UX platform are the ability to simultaneously run HP-UX applications with NetWare file and print services. In situations where file and print services are all that is required the Intel or PA-RISC NetWare servers will usually be preferable. Q: Is Software Vendor supported with NetWare for the HP 9000? A: Yes, Software Vendor is supported on NetWare for the HP 9000. Q: Is Btrieve available with NetWare for the HP 9000? A: Btrieve is not available today. However it is under investigation. Q: How many user license do I need to purchase if my customer only needs to run NVT and not NetWare file and print services? A: Since VT sessions do not count as NetWare users, if only NVT is being used on the server a 4-user license is sufficient for any number of connected users. Q.
