This section covers the following topics:

TotalAdmin Sphere

TotalAdmin, the TAS administration sphere, allows you to configure and administer TAS from TNAS. The TotalAdmin menu frame appears when you click the TAS sphere icon in the upper left of the sphere frame. The TotalAdmin menu frame, the place in which you will begin most configuration and administration tasks, lists the links below. Some menu options do not appear if the user name you use to log in does not have root privileges or if you do not configure them during initial setup.

Initial Setup -- The TAS initial setup wizard (see "TotalAdmin Wizards").

Status At A Glance -- Status of TAS services.

System -- Administration and configuration of the TAS system and system objects such as volumes and printers.

Passwords -- TAS user-password configuration.

LM-NT-OS/2 Realm -- Configuration and administration of LAN Manager-, Windows NT-, and IBM OS/2-compatible services.

NetWare Realm -- Configuration and administration of NetWare-compatible services.

AppleTalk Realm -- Configuration and administration of Macintosh-compatible services.

Transports -- Configuration of TCP/IP, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk transport interfaces.

File Permissions -- Configuration of UNIX file permissions.

Documentation -- Access to TAS on-line documentation.

TotalAdmin Wizards

Wizards present sequences of operations for configuring TAS. Each wizard starts with a screen containing a description and a Start button. To use a wizard, simply click Start and follow the subsequent steps. TotalAdmin includes an initial setup wizard, and a file service creation wizard for each supported realm. The initial setup wizard guides you through configuration and commencement of services. It results in a basic configuration to which you can add and make changes as needed. File service creation wizards lead you through the configuration of file services for each realm and suggest values for configurable fields.
