Back up Data with Storage Management Services
Storage Management Services
TM
(SMS
TM
) is the data protection system for all
your storage requirements. SMS allows backup and restore of targets such as
eDirectory, the file system, or an individual workstation's hard disk onto a tape
device that can be stored offsite.
If you have a hardware failure, corrupted data, or incorrectly deleted or
changed data, you can recover a previous version of the data. New features of
SMS to look for are superior performance and support for cluster resources.
For more information, see the Storage Management Services Administration
Guide.
Communicate with IP, the Protocol of the Internet
Novell TCP/IP software allows connectivity between different hosts in an
Internet environment. The TCP/IP stack lets you group multiple boards using
a multihoming feature. It also allows you to balance the load across different
configured boards and to ensure minimum downtime in case of board failure.
It provides high security, performance, and reliability of the host in the
Internet environment.
Novell TCP/IP offers an extensive set of configurable parameters for all
supported protocols. You can use these parameters to modify the default
characteristics of the initial configuration and also to configure advanced
features and optimize host, router, and LAN performance options.
For more information, see the TCP/IP Administration Guide.
Support IPX Applications with Compatibility Mode Driver
The Compatibility Mode Driver (CMD) helps you access NetWare services
using the IP protocol. The CMD services are used only when the system uses
an IPX
TM
application or tries to establish connections between IP and IPX
systems. These drivers are automatically loaded on both the NetWare clients
and servers when installed as IP-only systems. The IPX Compatibility Driver
also allows IP systems to communicate with IPX systems by using Migration
Agents.
The Migration Agent is a migration component that enables communication
between IPX and IP systems and creates an IP backbone that connects IPX
