We reported in earlier issues of Computer News that the NOS (Network
Operating System) of all the centrally managed LAN PC Servers for supporting
academic departments had been upgraded to Novell Netware 5. The upgraded
servers and the buildings they serve are as shown in the following table
:
| HKUHW1 | Haking Wong Building |
| HKUKB1 | Knowles Building |
| HKUKK2 | K. K. Leung Building |
| HKULS1 | Li Shu Fan Building |
| HKUMB1 | Main Building |
| HKUMW1 | Meng Wah Complex |
| HKUP4 | Chong Yuet Ming Physics and Chemistry Buildings |
| HKUPC2 | Run Run Shaw Building |
| HKUPP1 | Prince Philip Dental Hospital |
| HKUQP1 | Queen Mary Hospital |
| HKURM1 | Runme Shaw Building |
As each of these new servers are equipped with a much larger RAID disk storage, the Computer Centre has increased the size of disk allocation accordingly for each department. While most departments should find the available disk allocation to be sufficient for their needs, some may consider it necessary to acquire a much larger disk space on the servers for their specific purposes. For the latter cases, departments can direct their requests to the Director of the Computer Centre. The Centre would coordinate with the departments to install additional disks to the servers based on a cost recovery arrangement.
For any enquiry, please contact the undersigned.
