Access files in your NetWare volumes from iSeries

You can access the files on your NetWare volumes in the QNetWare file system on the iSeries™ from either the iSeries Navigator interface or the command line interface.

Use iSeries Navigator:

  1. Start iSeries Navigator as your 5250 emulator from your personal computer when you connect to your iSeries system.
  2. Expand your iSeries server —> File systems —> Integrated File System.
  3. Double-click on QNetWare to open the QNetWare file system. Your files should appear in the right pane.

Use the command line:

To display or access all the NetWare volumes in your network, you can use the Work with Object Links (WRKLNK) or Display Object Links (DSPLNK) command and use the i5/OS™ menus. You can also use this method to determine the path name for the MOUNT command. To improve performance, use the DETAIL(*NAME) parameter to show only the name of the link.

  1. On the iSeries command line, type WRKLNK and press Enter. The Work with Object Links display appears.
  2. Type 5 next to QNetWare and press Enter. iSeries displays the QNetWare directory.
  3. Type 5 next to the NetWare server on which you want to access files (NTWSERV.SVR in this example) and press Enter.

  4. On the next screen that appears, type 5 next to your document directory and press Enter.

Now you should be able to access the information in that directory. You can also determine the correct path by using the path shown in the Directory field and the name of the object to which you are linking.
