Thanks for the help. One more question. If it is a different card, and we have to re-install the OS, will we first need to delete the NWSD or can we just go straight into the INSWNTSVR? I'm trying to figure out what we will need to do but it's a little difficult without anywhere to test. Thanks again for all the help!

All your other storage will be OK but C: will be replaced with a small partition that boots into, are you ready: DOS! It's likely in this scenario that you would use ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) anyway but in case you blow it, and don't this will cause you pain., The pain is exacerbated by the fact that the /qfpnwsstg/ directory where the *NWSSTG space lives is almost always near the end of your tapes...... Also remember that you cannot simply do a CRTNWSD and then vary it on becuase in the install process that thing gets updated with the version of Windows on the server and it needs to know that for vary on processing. So Trevor's comment about keeping the source around for documentation is exactly correct, it's only documentation. - Larry ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > The NWSD should restore from your full save along with the NWSSTGs and the > only trick would be updating the resource name parameter on the NWSD if it > has changed on the new box. > > > David, > > If the DR IXS is the same as yours (or compatible as a hot spare), then all > > you will need is for the NWSD to be correctly configured.
