Category/Feature |
Description |
Link |
|---|---|---|
|
Compression |
Conserve disk space and increase the amount of data a volume can store. |
|
|
Console Commands |
Manage NSS volumes in an OES terminal console via the NSS Console (nsscon) utility. You can also issue Linux Volume Manager (NLVM) command line commands at the console prompt and in scripts. |
|
|
Distributed File Services (DFS) |
Use DFS junctions to transparently redirect data requests, split volumes while maintaining transparent access, and quickly move volume data to another volume. |

|
Encryption |
Create and manage encrypted NSS volumes that make data inaccessible to software that circumvents normal access control. |
|
|
Hard Links |
Create multiple names for a single file in the same or multiple directories in an NSS volume. |
|
|
Monitoring |
Monitor NSS file systems. |
|
|
Multipath Support on Linux |
Use Linux Device Mapper Multipath I/O tools to manage the dynamic, multiple, redundant connection paths between a Linux server and its external storage devices. |
|
|
Linux Volume Manager |
NLVM provides a command line interface that lets you manage the NSS file system at a terminal console or by using a script. It also provides APIs that are used by the NSSMU and iManager storage management tools. |
|
|
Partitions |
Manage partitions on NSS volumes. |
|
|
Pools |
Create and manage NSS pools. |
|
|
Pool Move |
You can move the contents of a pool from one location to another on the same system. The destination location can be made up of one or multiple devices. If the new location is larger than the original location, the pool is automatically expanded after the move is complete. |
|
|
Quotas |
Set space restrictions for users and directories to control storage usage. |
|
|
RAID |
Create and manage software RAIDs. |
|
|
Salvage subsystem |
Use the salvage subsystem to make deleted files and directories available for undelete or purge actions. |
|
|
Snapshots |
Take pool snapshots. |
|
|
Tools |
Learn about the various tools available to manage NSS volumes, the tool capabilities, and how to use them. |
|
|
Troubleshooting |
Troubleshoot NSS on OES and NetWare 6.5 SP8. |
|
|
File System Trustees and Attributes |
Control user access to data by setting trustees, trustee rights, and inherited rights filters for files. Control file behavior by setting file and folder attributes. |
|
|
Volumes |
Create and manage NSS volumes in NSS pools. |
