Hello barry,

> What's Novell using for fault data storage capability?

Novell (only in their NetWare File System ... not their new NSS file system!) provides RAID 0,1 capabilities. These are simple "full disk" mirroring/duplexing.

> Do they have access to RAID?

They *do not* offer a software RAID 5 with their products ... instead, NetWare relies on outside adapters or subsystems to provide this capability. For example, with full support for Adaptec controllers which provide RAID ...

> If so, do they have to pay royalties to MTIC?

None that I know of. The NetWare disk duplication capabilities were built into the product in the mid 80's with the introduction of Advanced NetWare.
