Create a NetWare volume

The easiest way to create a NetWare volume from iSeries™ is to use the Create NetWare Volume (CRTNTWVOL) command:

  1. On the iSeries command line, type CRTNTWVOL and press F4.
  2. In the Volume field, specify a name for the new volume.
  3. In the Server field, specify the NetWare server name.
  4. In the Size of volume field, either specify a specific size or use the default to create the volume with the maximum available size.
  5. Specify a device number for the NetWare server. (To find out the device number and available free space on the server, follow steps 1 through 3 of the procedure to increase volume size.)
  6. In the segment number field, either specify a valid segment number or allow the default *ANY.
  7. In the Block size field, specify a size or use the default.
  8. If you set data compression or block suballocation on, you cannot turn it off after mounting the volume for the first time.
  9. The text is held in an NDS object that corresponds to the volume.
  10. Press Enter to create the volume. iSeries creates the volume by using either the specified segment or the first free segment on the device that satisfies (or most closely matches) the requested size.
