Subject:      Re: How Much memory per unit diskspace?

We upgraded a server to 16 megs, and added a 1 gig. drive to the 600
meg already there. Then the memory card failed, leaving us with only
8 meg. The system works just fine. HOWEVER, when we start up, we
only have about 1.5 meg for cache buffers, and that slowly gets
eaten up over time. We can run for several days before memory drops
to the point where we have to restart the server. (We are still
waiting for a memory card that works, that's why we are still
running this way).

So be warned ... just because you can start up with low memory, it
does not mean you will run for very long.

Use MONITOR to watch the number of cache buffers. Once it starts to
get below 100, I'd suggest a shutdown that night, before the server
runs out completely. Things get messy then, I discovered.
Performance will go to hell when cache buffers get low, but not as
bad as it gets when there are NO cache buffers, and small memory
allocations fail.

I don't know what utility people use but I discovered that RPRINTER returns 
an errorlevel, so you can use the following batch file :


echo PLEASE WAIT , CONNECTING TO PRINTER ........
retry
rprinter pservername printer#
if errorlevel == 1 goto retry


This will put the batch file into a loop until the RPRINTER loads 
successfully. This routine has saved me many headaches.

        I live on Westnet, about 100 miles north of Sandy with a y. Indeed
ftp.is.sandy.novell.com is once again incommunicado, and I haven't the

machine is      netlab2.usu.edu 129.123.1.44            NW 3.11
or it's NFS mounted mirror
                netlab1.usu.edu 129.123.1.43            Unix
Both have what I copied just about a month ago.

This is the last time I'll send this - honest : )...  I just called Novell and
hung up when the message said $150 and I couldn't find my boss to figure out
how to pay for it...

Basically, what I want to know is what does the 'Running Process MPSRV1/MPSRV2'
message refer to?  Details of situation described below.

Thanks for any insight that can be offered.

Original message:

Good morning...

We've been experiencing the infamous General Protection Interrupt on one of our
servers lately (of course the one that was suppose to take care of load
problems on another server) and am hoping someone can shed some light on what
the following message refers to.  After the GPI error, the message 'Running
Process MPSRV1/2' is displayed.  The red manual said to check memory,
re-install the OS and replace memory if situation persists.  We've done all
three and the error returned this morning.  Does anyone know what process
MPSRV1 or MPSRV2 is referring to?

Our setup:

IBM Model 90 running 2.15c
2 3COM523 cards
1 Dayna DL/2 for Mac Vap
1 80M SCSI Drive
1 500M SCSI Drive

The error occurs when we run machine resets which we format local hard drives
and download workstation software and we tried to do 8 which blew up, then 4
blew up this morning so am down to 2.  The workstations are Model 60s with 386
upgrade and 523 cards.

Since we had the memory replaced Friday and the error returned this morning
we're beginning to suspect that 2.15 doesn't have enough power for the 90 but
for the time being, it's going to have to get us through to the end of the
month when classes are finished.  If it should be 2.15, would 2.2 handle the
90?

Anyway, would appreciate any insight that may be offered.

Thanks

We're using HP's ethernet card in our IIIsi.  It works MUCH better than Intel's
 Netports.

It does not completely protect other sites from unfriendly action.  Lock
up your servers physically.  There are less elegant ways to reset the
supervisor's password from the console.  "Novell's way" makes it difficult
for the nasty people to have easy access to an unlocked server.

We've had a NACS with 8 ports installed for about 1 1/2 years.  It is connected
directly to a Gandalf async hub.  Users run Kermit from their workstations to
contact the NACS and from there choose a host.  It has worked really well for
access to those hosts which do not have TCP/IP support installed.  The only
difficult task was finding free memory segments for the WNIM adapters to use,
after that was accomplished everything else went rather smoothly.

Subject:      NETWORK PRINTING PROBLEM

Sometimes text from two different Wordperfect printjobs submitted by two differ-
ent users are merged onto a single page at the network printer.
The printer is an HP laserjet II at a local workstation that is using the rprint
er program.  At the server we are using pserver.nlm.  We are running on a Token
ring network.
This problem is very intermittent and is often only reported after the users
have gone on to resubmit their print jobs.  Therefore, we are unable to acert-
ain the exact sequence of events leading up to the problem.
We are wondering:
                 Is WordPerfect confusing the jobs as they are written to the
                 print que?  All our printjobs are sent to the Print Que rather
                 than the port address.
                 Is Novell corrupting the printjobs as it receives them on the
                 print que?
                 Is Pserver confusing the jobs as it reads them from the queue,
                 or as it transmitts them to the printer?
                 Is Rprinter making the mistake?
                 Is the Laserjet confusing the printjobs?
                 Could the Pserver.nlm have bugs in it that has sent corrupted
                 data to the queue?
                 Have we overlooked some other explanations?

happen several times when people are less than careful about the

WD (now SMP) used to supply all the files you need.  Basically, they
supply the necessary NIC-specific files to generate an IPX.COM for
your NIC.  You then need to ECONFIG this IPX to use Ethernet_II
packets, and your server also needs to be running Ethernet_II packets
(802.3 is the defaul, there may be ways around this, but we run
everything on Ethernet_II).  WD/SMC also supplies a file named
8003PKDR.EXE.  This is a packet-driver shim that sits ON TOP OF IPX
(rather than the other way around).  The load order would be:

	IPX
	8003PKDR
	NETX

This should do you.

We are having the same (or similar) problem, with PSERVER.NLM (v1.22 and
backwards). Documents from WordPerfect have the wrong banner, contain part of
someone elses work, and are generally an enormous pain, particularly as
students are sending several times in the hope of one success.

We are using TI=255, but this seems to be irrelevant. I believe it to be the
PSERVER.NLM (the .EXE version seems to work). I am told that it has something
to do with WordPerfect and Non-Novell Authorised fileservers, particularly
when WordPerfect prints directly to a Novell queue (not the case for us, we
use CAPTURE).

Any ideas, let alone solutions, would be wonderful.

Hope someone can help,

Cheers,

Angus
