Netstorage question

[becbrad438]

We have an OES netware 6.5 sp 8 server running the netstorage software for our students on campus. The server is about 10 yrs old and when first installed, netstorage had to have a replica stored in the server in order to run. I was told novell was working on updating it back then to work with ldap instead of having a replica installed. I was wondering what the latest version of the netstorage software was and if it integrates with ldap. We want to get rid of the old server and install netstorage on a vm and not have to include it in our nds replica ring. Thanks so much for any info!

I guess my question is, Do i have to have a replica stored on a netstorage server in order for it to work??

No you do not need any replicas on the server running NetStorage.

I believe you can actually install NetStorage on a server in it's own
tree but authenticating against your production tree.
