Contents.History NetWare evolved from a very simple concept: file sharing instead of disk sharing. In 1983 when the first versions of NetWare originated, all other competing products were based on the concept of providing shared direct disk access. Novell's alternative approach was validated by in 1984, which helped promote the NetWare product.Novell NetWare shared disk space in the form of NetWare volumes, comparable to DOS volumes. Clients running DOS would run a special (TSR) program that allowed them to map a local drive letter to a NetWare volume. Clients had to log into a server in order to be allowed to map volumes, and access could be restricted according to the login name. Similarly, they could connect to shared printers on the dedicated server, and print as if the printer was connected locally.At the end of the 1990s, with Internet connectivity booming, the Internet's protocol became dominant on. Novell had introduced limited TCP/IP support in NetWare v3.x (circa 1992) and v4.x (circa 1995), consisting mainly of FTP services and UNIX-style LPR/LPD printing (available in NetWare v3.x), and a Novell-developed webserver (in NetWare v4.x).
Native TCP/IP support for the client file and print services normally associated with NetWare was introduced in NetWare v5.0 (released in 1998).During the early to mid-1980s introduced their own LAN system in, based on the competing protocol. Early attempts to muscle in on NetWare failed, but this changed with the inclusion of improved networking support in, and then the hugely successful. NT, in particular, offered services similar to those offered by NetWare, but on a system that could also be used on a desktop, and connected directly to other Windows desktops where NBF was now almost universal.Early years NetWare originated from consulting work by, a group founded by the friends, Dale Neibaur, Kyle Powell and later Mark Hurst. This work stemmed from their classwork at in, starting in October 1981.In 1981, engaged the work by the SuperSet team. The team was originally assigned to create a system to help network the CP/M hardware that Novell sold at the time.
The first was -based and shared a hard disk. In 1983, the team was privately convinced that CP/M was a doomed platform and instead came up with a successful file-sharing system for the newly introduced IBM-compatible. They also wrote an application called – a text-mode game – and used it to test the new network and demonstrate its capabilities.
Snipes aka 'NSnipes' for 'Network Snipes' was the first network application ever written for a commercial personal computer, and it is recognized as one of the precursors of many popular multiplayer games such as and.First called or, this (NOS) was later called Novell NetWare. NetWare was based on the (NCP), which is a packet-based protocol that enables a client to send requests to and receive replies from a NetWare server. Initially NCP was directly tied to the protocol, and NetWare communicated natively using only IPX/SPX.The first product to bear the NetWare name was released in 1983. There were two distinct versions of NetWare at that time. One version was designed to run on the Intel 8086 processor and another on the Motorola processor which was called (aka ); it ran on the processor on a proprietary Novell-built file server (Novell could not write an original network operating system from scratch so they licensed a Unix kernel and based NetWare on that ) and used a star.
This was soon joined by NetWare 86 V4.x, which was written for the. This was replaced in 1985 with Advanced NetWare 86 version 1.0a which allowed more than one server on the same network. In 1986, after the processor became available, Novell released Advanced NetWare 286 V1.0a. Two versions were offered for sale; the basic version was sold as ELS I and the more enhanced version was sold as ELS II. The acronym ELS was used to identify this new product line as NetWare's Entry Level System.NetWare 286 2.x Advanced NetWare version 2.x, launched in 1986, was written for the then-new 80286 CPU.
The 80286 CPU featured a new protected mode that provided access to up to 16 MB RAM as well as new mechanisms to aid multi-tasking. (Prior to the 80286, PC CPU servers used the Intel / /16-bit processors, which were limited to an address space of 1 MB with not more than 640 KB of directly addressable RAM.) The combination of a higher 16 MB RAM limit, 80286 processor feature utilization, and 256 MB NetWare volume size limit (compared to the 32 MB that DOS allowed at that time) allowed the building of reliable, cost-effective server-based local area networks for the first time. Desi girlfriend hidden camera. The 16 MB RAM limit was especially important, since it made enough RAM available for disk caching to significantly improve performance. This became the key to Novell's performance while also allowing larger networks to be built.In a significant innovation, NetWare 286 was also hardware-independent, unlike competing network server systems.
Novell servers could be assembled using any brand system with an Intel 80286 CPU, any, or hard drive and any 8- or 16-bit network adapter for which NetWare drivers were available – and 18 different manufacturer's network cards were supported at launch.A server could support up to four network cards, and these could be a mixture of technologies such as,. The operating system was provided as a set of compiled that required configuration and linking. Any change to the operating system required a re-linking of the. Installation also required the use of a proprietary low-level format program for hard drives called COMPSURF.The file system used by NetWare 2.x was 286, or NWFS 286, supporting volumes of up to 256 MB.
NetWare 286 recognized 80286, extending NetWare's support of RAM from 1 MB to the full 16 MB addressable by the 80286. A minimum of 2 MB was required to start up the operating system; any additional RAM was used for FAT, DET and file caching. Since 16-bit protected mode was implemented the i80286 and every subsequent Intel x86 processor, NetWare 286 version 2.x would run on any 80286 or later compatible processor.NetWare 2.x implemented a number of features inspired by and systems that were not available in other of the day. The features included standard read-after-write verification (SFT-I) with on-the-fly bad block re-mapping (at the time, disks did not have that feature built in) and software (disk mirroring, SFT-II). The (TTS) optionally protected files against incomplete updates. For single files, this required only a file attribute to be set. Transactions over multiple files and controlled roll-backs were possible by programming to the TTS.NetWare 286 2.x normally required a dedicated PC to act as the server, where the server used DOS only as a to execute the operating system file NET$OS.EXE.
All memory was allocated to NetWare; no DOS ran on the server. However, a 'non-dedicated' version was also available for price-conscious customers. In this, DOS 3.3 or higher would remain in memory, and the processor would time-slice between the DOS and NetWare programs, allowing the server computer to be used simultaneously as a network file server and as a user workstation. Because all (RAM above 1 MB) was allocated to NetWare, DOS was limited to only 640 KB; managers that used the MMU of 80386 and higher processors, such as EMM386, would not work; 8086-style expanded memory on dedicated plug-in cards was possible however. Time slicing was accomplished using the keyboard, which required strict compliance with the IBM PC design model, otherwise performance was affected.Server licensing on early versions of NetWare 286 was accomplished by using a key card.
The key card was designed for an 8-bit ISA bus, and had a serial number encoded on a ROM chip. The serial number had to match the serial number of the NetWare software running on the server. To broaden the hardware base, particularly to machines using the IBM MCA bus, later versions of NetWare 2.x did not require the key card; serialised license floppy disks were used in place of the key cards.Licensing was normally for 100 users, but two ELS (Entry Level System) versions were also available. First a 5-user ELS in 1987, and followed by the 8-user ELS 2.12 II in 1988. NetWare 3.x NetWare's 3.x range was a major step forward. It began with v3.0 in 1990, followed quickly by v3.10 and v3.11 in 1991.A key feature was support for, eliminating the 16 MB memory limit of NetWare 286 and therefore allowing larger hard drives to be supported (since NetWare 3.x cached the entire and into memory for improved performance).NetWare version 3.x was also much simpler to install, with disk and network support provided by software modules called a (NLM) loaded either at start-up or when it was needed. NLMs could also add functionality such as anti-virus software, backup software, database and web servers.
Support for long filenames was also provided by an NLM.A new file system was introduced by NetWare 3.x – ' 386', or NWFS 386, which significantly extended volume capacity (1 TB, 4 GB files), and could handle up to 16 volume segments spanning multiple physical disk drives. Volume segments could be added while the server was in use and the volume was mounted, allowing a server to be expanded without interruption.In NetWare 386 3.x all NLMs ran on the server at the same level of processor, known as '. This provided the best possible performance, it sacrificed reliability because there was no memory protection, and furthermore NetWare 3.x used a model, meaning that an NLM was required to yield to the kernel regularly.
For either of these reasons a badly behaved NLM could result in a fatal error.NetWare continued to be administered using console-based utilities.For a while, Novell also marketed an version of NetWare 3, called Portable NetWare, together with OEMs such as, and, who ported Novell source code to run on top of their Unix operating systems. Portable NetWare did not sell well.While NetWare 3.x was current, Novell introduced its first system, named NetWare SFT-III, which allowed a logical server to be completely mirrored to a separate physical machine. Implemented as a cluster, under SFT-III the OS was logically split into an interrupt-driven I/O engine and the event-driven OS core. The I/O engines serialized their interrupts (disk, network etc.) into a combined event stream that was fed to two identical copies of the system engine through a fast (typically 100 Mbit/s) inter-server link. Because of its non-preemptive nature, the OS core, stripped of non-deterministic I/O, behaves deterministically, like a large.
The outputs of the two system engines were compared to ensure proper operation, and two copies fed back to the I/O engines. Using the existing SFT-II software RAID functionality present in the core, disks could be mirrored between the two machines without special hardware. The two machines could be separated as far as the server-to-server link would permit. In case of a server or disk failure, the surviving server could take over client sessions transparently after a short pause since it had full state information. SFT-III was the first NetWare version able to make use of hardware – the I/O engine could optionally be run on its own CPU.
NetWare SFT-III, ahead of its time in several ways, was a mixed success.With NetWare 3 an improved routing protocol, has been introduced which scales better than and allows building large networks.NetWare 4.x Version 4 in 1993 introduced NetWare Directory Services, later re-branded as (NDS), based on, which replaced the Bindery with a global, in which the infrastructure was described and managed in a single place. Additionally, NDS provided an extensible, allowing the introduction of new object types. This allowed a single user authentication to NDS to govern access to any server in the directory tree structure. Users could therefore access network resources no matter on which server they resided, although user license counts were still tied to individual servers. (Large enterprises could opt for a license model giving them essentially unlimited per-server users if they let Novell audit their total user count)Version 4 also introduced a number of useful tools and features, such as transparent compression at file system level and public/private.Another new feature was the NetWare Asynchronous Services Interface (NASI). It allowed network sharing of multiple serial devices, such as. Client port redirection occurred via an DOS or Windows driver allowing companies to consolidate modems and lines.The upgrade was not without its flaws – initially NetWare 4 could not coexist with earlier versions on the same network because of incompatibilities.
NetWare for OS/2 Promised as early as 1988, when the Microsoft-IBM collaboration was still ongoing and 1.x was still a 16-bit product, the product didn't become commercially available until after IBM and Microsoft had parted ways and OS/2 2.0 had become a 32-bit, pre-emptive multitasking and multithreading OS.By August 1993, Novell released its first version of 'NetWare for OS/2'. This first release supported OS/2 2.1 (1993) as the base OS, and required that users first buy and install IBM OS/2, then purchase NetWare 4.01, and then install the NetWare for OS/2 product. It retailed for $200.By around 1995, and coincidental with IBM´s renewed marketing push for its 32-bit OS/2 Warp OS, both as a desktop client and as a LAN server (OS/2 Warp Server), NetWare for OS/2 began receiving some good press coverage. 'NetWare 4.1 for OS/2' allowed to run Novell´s network stack and server modules on top of IBM´s 32-bit kernel and network stack. It was basically NetWare 4.x running as a service on top of OS/2. It was compatible with third party client and server utilities and NetWare Loadable Modules.Since IBM´s 32-bit OS/2 included Netbios, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP support, this means that sysadmins could run all three most popular network stacks on a single box, and use the OS/2 box as a workstation too. NetWare for OS/2 shared memory on the system with OS/2 seamlessly.
The book 'Client Server survival Guide with OS/2' described it as ' that lets the unmodified NetWare 4.x server program think it owns all resources on a OS/2 system'. Main article: 1.0 In 2003, Novell announced the successor product to NetWare: (OES). First released in March 2005, OES completes the separation of the services traditionally associated with NetWare (such as Directory Services, and file-and-print) from the platform underlying the delivery of those services. OES is essentially a set of applications (eDirectory, services, iPrint, etc.) that can run atop either a or a NetWare kernel platform. Clustered OES implementations can even migrate services from Linux to NetWare and back again, making Novell one of the very few vendors to offer a multi-platform clustering solution.Consequent to Novell's acquisitions of and the German Linux distributor, Novell moved away from NetWare and shifted its focus towards Linux. Marketing was focused on getting faithful NetWare users to move to the Linux platform for future releases.
The clearest indication of this direction was Novell's controversial decision to release Open Enterprise Server on Linux only, not NetWare. Novell later watered down this decision and stated that NetWare's 90 million users would be supported until at least 2015. Meanwhile, many former NetWare customers rejected the confusing mix of licensed software running on an Linux operating system in favor of moving to complete Open Source solutions such as those offered. 2.0 OES 2 was released on October 8, 2007. Main articles: andand were a series of peer-to-peer networks developed by Novell for - and -based computers aimed at personal users and between 1991 and 1995.Performance NetWare dominated the network operating system (NOS) market from the mid-1980s through the mid- to late-1990s due to its extremely high performance relative to other NOS technologies. Most benchmarks during this period demonstrated a 5:1 to 10:1 performance advantage over products from Microsoft, Banyan, and others. One noteworthy benchmark pitted NetWare 3.x running services over TCP/IP (not NetWare's native IPX protocol) against a dedicated Auspex NFS server and a SCO Unix server running NFS service.
NetWare NFS outperformed both 'native' NFS systems and claimed a 2:1 performance advantage over SCO Unix NFS on the same hardware. The reasons for NetWare's performance advantage are given below.File service instead of disk service When first developed, nearly all LAN storage was based on the disk server model.

In previous versions of NetWare ®, a Server Connection License model is used, where users are granted access to network services on a per-server basis. This means each time a user accesses services on a different server, the user consumes a license unit on that server. Printer connections also consume a connection license. In the NetWare 6 User Access License model, users consume a single User license (per tree) regardless of the number of NetWare 6 servers they log on to. Printers that connect to a NetWare 6 server do not consume a User license. The same is true for all other non-User connections.
