Unlink and delete NetWare NWSDs when you upgrade the release level

If you are upgrading to Version 4, Release 5 and above, and previously had NetWare Integration installed on an Integrated xSeries Server, you can save space by deleting unnecessary files. To remove links and delete storage spaces that remain from before your reinstallation, use the Work with Network Server Storage Spaces (WRKNWSSTG) command.

To unlink and delete leftover network server descriptions (NWSDs), do this:

  1. On an iSeries™ command line, type WRKNWSSTG and press Enter.
  2. Look for *NETWARE in the Format column to identify network server descriptions that you want to delete.
  3. Check for a server name in the Server column that is associated with that network server description. If a server name appears, you must first unlink the NWSD before deleting it.

    To remove a link, type 11 in the Option space before the NWSD name.

  4. Once the NWSD has no links, you can delete it by typing 4 in the Option space before the NWSD name.
  5. Repeat these steps for each NetWare NWSD in the list.
Note:
These are the only command options still available for your NetWare NWSDs for V4R5.
