NetWare v3.01 for the HP 9000 Series 700
Technical Datasheet
Product Number
J2239A
NetWare 3.01B for the HP 9000 Series 700 is a fully compatible
NetWare server product which provides transparent integration of
DOS, OS/2 Windows and UNIX(NFS) desktop systems. The HP 9000
with NetWare services will connect existing Novell networks or,
can be used to build new NetWare networks and provide the same
services as Netware PC based servers. NetWare for the HP9000 is
an robust, high speed network operating system that enables
HP9000 systems to operate as a file and resource server to
desktop workstations. It runs on and takes advantage of HP's full
range of powerful HP-UX servers.
NetWare for the HP 9000 provides the functionality of Novell(R)
Inc.'s PC services including file and printer sharing, server
administration functions( such as password security, connection
maintenance, bindery facility, print queue management, and
accounting services).
In addition to file and print sharing capabilities, NetWare on
the HP 9000 will provide support for NetWare Application
Programming Interface(API) such as Sequence Packet Exchange(SPX).
These API are the foundation for client-server applications on
NetWare networks.
NetWare offers client access to a wealth of PC application plus
access to mission critical UNIX based application . Users can
continue to use PC applications from the familiar PC environment.
In addition, users can also access UNIX resources including a
wide range of CPUs, disks, printers and plotters. NetWare
complements other HP networking products such as the
ARPA/Berkeley Services, HP Network Services(NS), and Network
File System(NFS)tm Services.
Through the combination of NFS and NetWare, users on both PC and
Unix platforms can share files and resources. With PCs in
finance, and marketing and UNIX workstations in engineering,
users can continue to use their familiar interfaces
while sharing files and printers. Netware can be easily add to
the UNIX network server, providing a bridge between departments
increasing productivity across corporate organizations.
Features
o HP 9000 server offers NetWare clients scalabilty and
expandability never before achievable on an Netware Intel
èplatform.
o Support for NetWare's application programming
interfaces(API)s.
o Uses Netware's SPX/IPX network transport.
o NetWare for the HP 9000 provides all of the basic resource
sharing functionality a user has come to expect from a NetWare
server. Added are the resources that only the power of the HP
9000 can provide including larger systems, and peripherals,
security and reliability, and access to sophisticated, complex,
mission-critical applications.
File Sharing
To the end user, the file sharing capability includes familiar
NetWare file access, file allocation, and administration
features. Also, NetWare features such as resource accounting,
password protection, and file backup are included. Backward
compatibility for NetWare clients to version 2.1 insures
installation of NetWare for the HP 9000 will not cause
interruption of Novell networks already installed.
Access to MS-DOS(R), or OS/2(R) files from HP-UX applications
is provided by a set of function calls when the server is in
operation.
Print Sharing
Printer sharing and print queue management is provided through
the same commands familiar to all NetWare users. This insures
transparent print services with no special commands of procedures
to be learned. Any supported HP 9000 spooled printer can be used
to print from a NetWare server print queue. HP 9000 environment
files can be associated with a print queue as well.
Application Programming Interface(API)
Of particular importance to developers and end users alike is
support of the interprocess communication capability that NetWare
for the HP 9000 provides. APIs are the foundation upon which
client/server platforms are based. The HP 9000 is a powerful
server platform for mission critical OLTP database client-server
applications being developed for corporations of all sizes today.
NetWare for the HP 9000 supports Novell's popular Sequenced
Packet Exchange(SPX) protocol. The SPX interface for both client
and server are provided as part of NetWare for the HP 9000.
Unix Workstation Connectivity
è
In addition to DOS, OS/2 and MS-Windows(R) clients, NetWare for
the HP 9000 in combination with NFS provides the ability to
connect Unix clients. Unix clients have all the benefits of
NetWare without forfeiting their familiar native Unix
interface. Unix workstations can share files with other NetWare
clients and print to NetWare printers. In the reverse, Netware
clients can print to Unix printers.
HP ARPA Services 2.1 Connectivity
Access to existing HP 9000 applications from a NetWare client is
very important. HP ARPA 2.1/MS-DOS for NetWare provides this
capability and is ordered separately, Product Number D1823A. HP
ARPA Services 2.1/MS-DOS provides NetWare client PCs running
MS-DOS with ARPA, FTP, Virtual Terminal(TELNET) and Network
Interprocess Communication(NetIPC) connectivity to the HP 9000.
For detailed information on this option see HP ARPA Services
2.1/MS-DOS data sheet.
Network Capacity
NetWare for the HP 9000 will support up to 250 clients per
server. Of course the actual number of clients supported on an
individual server will depend on what applications and network
functions are running on that server.
A maximum of one NetWare server can be supported per HP 9000
system.
