It cannot be used with releases starting with version 4.
Setting Up User-Level Access Control ❏ As in previous versions, you must have TCP/IP enabled (with Windows SMB) and must have set up your domain controller for the TCP/IP DNS parameters. ❏ In the User’s Guide, this section replaces the section “UserLevel Access Control” at the end of chapter 4. In the Quick Installation Guide, this section replaces items 3–6 listed under “Step 4. Set up Windows (SMB)”. On a PC on the same network as the HP CD/DVD-ROM Server: 1.
2. On the next page, set User-level access control and [Next >]. 3. On the next page, set Create a Computer Account in the Domain. Specify the Administrator user name and password for the domain controller. Click [Next >]. 4. On the Summary page, verify the settings for steps 1–3 above. Click [Finish]. This restarts the server with the changed configuration and returns you to the main wizard page. When the Status indicator remains green and the SCSI indicator is off, the server is ready for use.
The server’s event log (select the Administration tab and then the Event Log button) will record the server successfully joining the domain you specified. Note 4 ❏ An alternative to steps 1–4 above is to use the Detailed View rather than the Wizard. Select the Windows (SMB) tab. On the configuration page, you can click the [Change] button to set the parameters. Latest News: Firmware Version 5.
On the domain controller (also known as the PDC, DC, or authentication server), do the following steps. (You can use a remote workstation with the Remote Services utility.) 5. Log onto the domain controller. 6. Map a drive to the CD server’s Volumes share, as shown below. 7. Explore the mapped drive. Right-click the access point to which you will assign permissions for a specific user or group (for example, Volumes or specific disc). Select the Properties page for that access point.
. 8. Select the Security tab and the [Permissions] button. 6 Latest News: Firmware Version 5.
9. By default, Users have read access and Administrators have full access, as seen on this Properties page. Add or remove access for the desired users and groups; see Microsoft documentation for full instructions. Note Features and Limitations ❏ You must use this Properties page for the mapped drive on the domain controller, not the Properties page in Server Manager for Domains. ❏ To make changes to the users and groups themselves, use User Manager for Domains.
FTP Access Protocol Support FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is now supported as a network protocol for access to files on the server. Users can use their familiar FTP commands to copy files from the server.
Pure IP for Novell NetWare Documentation Notes ❏ In the User’s Guide, the “Novell NetWare/IP” section near the end of chapter 5 is replaced by this section. ❏ In the Quick Installation Guide, item 4 under “Step 5. Set up Novell NetWare (NCP)” should now refer to an additional page (“Protocols”) that you should skip by clicking [Next > . The HP CD/DVD-ROM Server now supports NCP transported over pure IP. In Novell NetWare 5 environments, the server can be integrated as any other 5.
Note Disabling IPX As long as IPX remains enabled, clients without the specified pure IP or NetWare/IP support will be routed through a Novell server with an IPX/IP gateway. You can disable the IPX protocol on the page described below in step b if all clients are running the specified IP protocol binding. b. Use the configuration page for NCP protocols: Start the web browser, access the web page for the server, and select the Quick Setup tab. Click the Detailed View icon.
Added Method for Upgrading Firmware Another faster method has been added for updating the firmware (affecting chapter 9 in the User’s Guide). Once you have firmware version 5.20 or later on your server, you will be able to update in this new way thereafter. This can be done using Windows (SMB), Novell NetWare (NCP), or UNIX (NFS), but not using AppleTalk (AFP). FTP is not needed. This can be done anywhere you have the root mapped to a drive. 1.
Easier Setting of IP Address for Windows For Windows, with Class B or C Address Note Steps A new additional method for setting the server’s IP address is easier than using ARP or setting up DHCP or BOOTP. You need no longer configure the IP address before using a web browser to access the server’s web page. To use the new method, you must be using a Microsoft or IBM network running SMB over NBT (NetBIOS/TCP/IP), and you must be using Class B or C addresses on the network.
AFP Protocol Support for Apple Macintosh The HP SureStore CD-DVD/ROM Server now supports the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over AppleTalk with EtherTalk, and over TCP/IP. Any Macintosh client using the native Macintosh network access tools (such as Chooser) can access any Hierarchical File System (HFS) CD or DVD on the HP server. These Macintosh protocols are supported simultaneously with the other protocols such as IPX/SPX, Microsoft networking, NFS, TCP/IP and HTTP.
How to Use the Documentation This section describes how to set up the server for Apple Macintosh clients on networks using the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) over AppleTalk and EtherTalk. It describes the procedures for accessing the server from a Macintosh client, for configuring the server specifically for your network, and for setting up additional Macintosh clients for access. This section has information that fulfills a function similar to that served by chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the User’s Guide.
