ConsoleOne Administration Tool
GroupWise®is administered using ConsoleOne®, a Java*-based tool for managing your network
and its resources. When you create your GroupWise system, GroupWise snap-ins are added to your
ConsoleOne installation and GroupWise objects are created in Novell®eDirectoryTM. As you
manage your GroupWise system, you use ConsoleOne to create additional GroupWise objects,
modify GroupWise object properties, and so on.
IMPORTANT: Because the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are required in order to work with
GroupWise objects, you cannot use other network management tools, such as Novell iManager, to
administer your GroupWise system. Also, you should not use older network management tools, such
as NetWare®Administrator, to administer your GroupWise system, unless your GroupWise system
includes legacy gateways that require such tools to administer the corresponding Gateway objects
and their properties.
Because GroupWise is a cross-platform product, you might have components of your GroupWise
system located on NetWare servers, Linux servers, and Windows* servers. You can run ConsoleOne
on Windows or Linux to manage GroupWise domains and post offices located on any of these
platforms.
Section 2.1, “ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 41
Section 2.2, “ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 42
Section 2.3, “ConsoleOne in a Multiple-Platform Environment,” on page 43
NOTE: For a GroupWise system on NetWare, you cannot run ConsoleOne to administer
GroupWise at the NetWare server console. The GroupWise Administrator snap-ins to ConsoleOne
do not run in that environment.
2.1 ConsoleOne on Windows
You can run ConsoleOne on Windows on any Windows machine that meets the requirements listed
in “GroupWise Administration Requirements” in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
Section 2.1.1, “Installing ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 41
Section 2.1.2, “Configuring Your Windows Machine for ConsoleOne,” on page 42
Section 2.1.3, “Starting ConsoleOne on Windows,” on page 42
2.1.1 Installing ConsoleOne on Windows
When you create your initial GroupWise system using the GroupWise Installation program
(
install.exe ) on Windows, the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are installed to the
ConsoleOne installation on that machine. If necessary, you can install ConsoleOne itself to the
machine where you are running the GroupWise Installation program. You are also given the
opportunity to copy the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne into a GroupWise software distribution
directory for later use.

42 GroupWise 8 Administration Guide
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
After you have set up your GroupWise system, you can use the GroupWise Installation program to
install ConsoleOne and the GroupWise snap-ins from the GroupWise 8 DVD or downloaded
GroupWise 8 image, or you can run
admin\install.exe to install the snap-ins from the software
distribution directory to additional locations as needed.
2.1.2 Configuring Your Windows Machine for ConsoleOne
To ensure GroupWise database integrity across the network:
1Right-click the Novell Client icon on the tool bar at the bottom of your screen, then click
Novell Client Properties.
2Click Advanced Settings.
3Set File Caching to Off.
4Set File Commit to On.
5Click OK to save the new Novell Client settings, then reboot the Windows machine to put the
new settings into effect.
2.1.3 Starting ConsoleOne on Windows
When you install ConsoleOne, a ConsoleOne icon is automatically created on your Windows
desktop for starting ConsoleOne.
Before you start ConsoleOne, turn off file caching in the Novell Client to protect database integrity.
1Right-click the red N in the notification area, then click Novell Client Properties.
2Click Advanced Settings, select File Caching, then select Off.
3Click OK to save your change.
2.2 ConsoleOne on Linux
You can run ConsoleOne on Linux on any Linux machine that meets the requirements listed in
“GroupWise Administration Requirements” in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
Section 2.2.1, “Installing ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 42
Section 2.2.2, “Starting ConsoleOne on Linux,” on page 43
2.2.1 Installing ConsoleOne on Linux
When you create your initial GroupWise system using the GroupWise Installation program
(
install ) on Linux, ConsoleOne should already be installed before you begin. If you are running
Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux, you can install ConsoleOne from YaST using Software >
Install and Remove Software. Linux ConsoleOne is also available on the Novell Downloads page
(http://download.novell.com).
After ConsoleOne is installed, the GroupWise Installation program on Linux installs the GroupWise
snap-ins to ConsoleOne to the ConsoleOne installation on that machine. You are also given the
opportunity to copy the GroupWise Administration RPM into a GroupWise software distribution
directory for later use.

ConsoleOne Administration Tool 43
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
After you have set up your GroupWise system, you can use the GroupWise Installation program to
the GroupWise snap-ins from the GroupWise 8 DVD or downloaded GroupWise 8 image, or you can
install the GroupWise Administration RPM from the
admin subdirectory of the software distribution
directory to install the snap-ins to additional locations as needed.
ConsoleOne and the GroupWise Administrator snap-ins should be installed on each Linux server
where a domain is located. For some administration tasks, ConsoleOne on the primary domain
server needs to have secondary domain servers mounted. Depending on how you organize your
GroupWise administration, you might also want to mount the primary domain server to each
secondary domain server. Administrative messages can flow from one secondary domain to another
through the primary domain.
2.2.2 Starting ConsoleOne on Linux
1In a terminal window, become root by entering su - and the root password.
The
sux command enables the X Window System*, which is required for running ConsoleOne.
2Enter the following command:
/usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne
2.3 ConsoleOne in a Multiple-Platform
Environment
If your GroupWise system includes multiple platforms, you can administer Linux domains from
Windows ConsoleOne or administer NetWare or Windows domains from Linux ConsoleOne.
This section helps you set up the cross-platform connections that enable ConsoleOne to successfully
access GroupWise databases on any platform.
Section 2.3.1, “Using Windows ConsoleOne to Access Domains and Post Offices on Linux,”
on page 43
Section 2.3.2, “Using Linux ConsoleOne to Access Domains and Post Offices on NetWare or
Windows,” on page 44
2.3.1 Using Windows ConsoleOne to Access Domains and
Post Offices on Linux
In order for you to be able to use ConsoleOne on Windows to administer GroupWise domains, post
offices, and agents that are located on Linux, the Linux servers where the domains, post offices, and
agents are located must be accessible from Windows.

Making a NetWare or Windows Server Visible from Linux
To make a NetWare or Windows server visible from Linux, you mount the directory you need to
access as a Linux file system.
Operating System Connection Method
Open Enterprise
Server (OES)
Linux
Use the NetWare Core ProtocolTM (NCPTM) Server to create an NCP volume on the
Linux server that will be visible from Windows just as a NetWare volume would be.
On the Linux server, become root , then enter the following commands:
ncpcon create volume volume_name directory
ncpcon set cross_protocol_locks=1
From a Windows workstation or server where the Novell client is installed, you can
now use the Novell Map Network Drive feature to map a drive to the volume on your
Linux server, and Windows-type file locking is respected by Linux.
For more information about NCP Server, see the NCP Server Administration Guide
for Linux (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes/ncp_lx/data/
h9izvdye.html#h9izvdye).
SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server
(SLES)
Use Samba to create a Windows share on the Linux server that will be visible from
Windows just as a directory on another Windows server would be. For instructions
on setting up a Samba share, see the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Administration
and Installation Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/pdfdoc/
sles_admin/sles_admin.pdf).
From a Windows workstation or server, you can now use the Windows Map
Network Drive feature to map a drive to the directory on your Linux server.

Table 2-2 Creating a Connection from Linux to NetWare or Windows
Accessing a Domain or Post Office on NetWare or Windows from Linux ConsoleOne
After you have made the NetWare or Windows server visible from Linux:
1Mount the domain directory to the Linux server.
2In Linux ConsoleOne, authenticate to the eDirectoryTM tree where the Domain object is located.
3Click Tools > GroupWise System Operations > Select Domain.
4Browse to and select the domain directory, then click OK.
You can now use Linux ConsoleOne to administer all GroupWise objects that belong to the domain
that is located on NetWare or Windows.
Operating
System Connection Method
NetWare: mount -t ncpfs NetWare_server_full_DNS_name_or_IP_address
/Linux_mount_location/mount_point_directory
-o user=fully_qualified_username
-o ipserver=NetWare_server_full_DNS_name
A NetWare server full DNS name should have the format of mail2.provo.corporate.com. A
fully qualified username should have the format of Admin.Users.Corporate. A typical Linux
mount location would be /mnt.
You can also use Novell Remote Manager (NRM) to create the NCP mount.
Windows:
mount -t smbfs //Windows_server_name_or_IP_address/sharename
/Linux_mount_location/mount_point_directory
-o username=Windows_username
To use this command, the WINS protocol must be functioning properly on your network. The
specified Windows user must have sufficient rights to access the post office directory.
