Subject:      move to 486/33 has caused some weirdness

Hello,

Today I put up our new 16M 486/33 ISA server.  It is a clone machine
that uses the an Intel 486DX-33 cpu and the ISA 486
SIS85C401/SIS85C402 chip set by Silicon Integrated Systems
Corp. There is a 64k built in cache. The BIOS is AMI BIOS from
American Megatrends, Inc.

We use two 300M SCSI hard drives, tiara 16-bit lan card, and Dayna
DL2000 appletalk card.  These three items were used in the old clone
server setup and merely had to be moved to the new machine.
Basically it should be plug and play.  We substituted a 16M 486/33
for a 12M 386/25.

What we are experiencing is intermittent problems connecting to the
server, as well as a noticeably slower execution of netx upon boot-up.
We use shell.cfg to specify preferred server and it definitely takes
longer for the actual connection to be made.

This is a junior college computer lab and we use machines without
hard disks, using boot disks to connect to the server.  When we
reboot the hung machines or the machines that don't make a
connection, they will usually connect OK the second time.

The Novell rating on the processor speed went from (about) 130 to
915!!!  Is this something that could be causing us some problems?  I
was hoping that this would speed up our response time during our peak
use periods.  We run 100 user 3.11 and peak times see about 70-80
users doing accounting applications, wordperfect, lotus, and the
like.

The old system basically worked OK, it was just low on memory and a
little on the slow side.  The motherboard was no longer in production
and to upgrade the memory from 8 to 12 required using a 16 bit slot.
Since we just moved the SCSI drives over, nothing about our network
setup has really changed.  We still use the same 'system' that the
old clone did.

Any ideas that people have would be appreciated.

TIA.

Jay Field

Don't use the Simtel site at all: it'e very slow and often difficult to reach
and the arrangement of directories is rather confusing there. Use the U.S.
wuarchive.wustl.edu site (mirrors/msdos directory) or the U.K. src.doc.ic.ac.uk
(ibmpc/simtel20 directory). Both of these (and the other mirror sites) are
updated nightly from Simtel and so you will not be missing out on anything.

I've spent some time with Sytos Plus, and the older Sytos.  The prior on a
Wangtech, and the latter on a CoreData tape drive (i think).

They're both good programs, if you can get them to work.  I had a lot of
trouble, and it probably has to do with matching their drivers to my client's
equipment.  If it's coming supplied with the tape drive, it's probably okay
out of the box.  The people at Sytron (?) are very helpful.

It's been a year since I've dealt with Sy-anything, so forgive me if things
have radically changes since September 1991.

Tony,
  We've been using Xircom adapters here for about one year and have had some
 pretty good success.
  The adapters attach to your parallel port, though a multiplexor is
 available so that you may still use your parallel port to print with.
        Drawbacks?
  Well, the cards are supposed to be ethernet speeds, but they actually work
 out to be a bit slower.  (Still, 5mbps is much better than 2400 baud!)
 Also, the cards do not support the remote boot features of many network
 operating systems.  This is not usually a problem, just something to be
 aware of.
  Finally, you should know that there is no easy way to get the ethernet
 address for the cards (so network tracking is just a tad more involved), and
 an external power supply is required (so you'd better double check power
 availability before you drag it off into that dark closet that has your
 primary ethernet tap).

  All in all, I'd recommend the product - its sturdy and does its job
 fairly well.

dBase is an interpreter. This means its slow. In a multiuser environment it's
slower. We use Clipper for xbase applications. It is much faster.

I can't suggest any was of speeding up your dBase applications (sorry).

You can purchase a dBase code compiler. CA now sells one for dbase 4 or I
would suggest purchaseing clipper for previous versions of clipper.

New Beta Release of the Accounting Print Server

I have placed a Beta release of the Netware Accounting Print Server (v2.70b) on
the ftp server splicer.cba.hawaii.edu in the file
files/novell/util/pserv27b.zip

Its a full version, but has some debugging code in it still. It fixes a few
things in the 2.70a version such as Increased timeouts with postscript printer
to eliminate the permanent poll for the end of the job that would happen after
certain print jobs.

The epson stuff has some debugging code left in it, as I still don't have that
working quite right yet. (Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't).

Source is also available to registered users (Its shareware). Prices are in the
documentation

US$50 for registration
US$50 for source (Plus signing and faxing/mailing of a non-disclosure 
                  agreement.)

Coming RSN (Hopefully next week) is an LPR/LPD for NW386 v3.11 More next week
on that. Also an NNTP server is in the works....

( Br- 3Com Netbuilders configured as bridges)

Problem-
	File Server A cannot see File Server B.  That is, it does not show up
on slist if you are logged into A, and it does not show up if you DISPLAY
SERVERS or DISPLAY NETWORKS on the console of A.  The result is that a user
on A cannot log into or attach to B.
	File Server A can see both C and D, and all the other File Servers
(including B) can see A just fine.

All file servers are running NW 3.11.  File Server A uses a 3c503, B a 3c505,
and C and D represent a variety of servers with 3c507's and NE2000 clones.

The bridges involved are all 3com Netbuilders configured as bridges, not
routers.  Each of the bridges is configured the same, or at least they are
supposed to be.  It is possible that some odd parameter in one of the bridges
has been tweaked, and we haven't found it yet.

At the present time we have no other servers behind the bridge with File Server
A, but when we had some NW 2.15 servers in that building, they also could not
see File Server B.

We have discussed this problem with 3Com, and they have blamed Novell (natch).

	So-
	1.  Are there any parameters that can be set on a Novell server that
would create and/or solve a problem such as ours?
	2.  Any other suggestions for possible solutions and/or diagnostic
procedures would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Subject:      Re: DBASE on NOVELL

Top Ten Ways to Improve File Service based Database Performance
(with apologies to David Letterman):

10) Make your record size a nice even multiple of the block size (or
divisible by it); i.e, 512 bytes, 1024, 4096, 8192, etc. This reduces the
amount of partial writes required (cases when a whole block must be written
even though you only write a few bytes in it).

9) Put the server on the same segment as the workstation to insure you are
using the max frame size possible.

8) If you can't put the server on the same segment, use the LIPX.NLM. It
allows you to operate at the max frame size even if you are not on the same
segment (but it requires that you, the installer, rather than the operating
system, make sure that all the intervening network segments can support
your larger frame size).

7) If you are using Token Ring networks, change the parameters at the
server and the workstation max out the frame size for 4K reads.

6) Use PACKET BURST even though it is not a WAN situation.

5) Create a separate data volume for the DBASE files with a large block
size (i.e, 64K).

4) Use a high performance Disk and LAN adapter at the server (BUS MASTERing
and a 32bit bus width are reccomended).

3) For lots of workstations, break your network into internally routed
subnets. This increases the effective IO bandwidth to the server.

2) Use multi-segment volumes from the begining and make sure that the
volume segments are on different disk controllers. NetWare will do an
inherent data scattering which, like breaking into subnets, can increase
the effective IO bandwidth into the server. NOTE: If you do this, you
should also employ disk duplexing, because if you lose an unmirrored
partition of a multi-segment volume, you lose the whole volume.

1) Three simple words: TONS OF CACHE.

  I just added a new server running novell 3.11 to out network. We currently
have 3 servers on the network. 2 of the servers (PYTHON and SOM) are running
novell 3.11 while FS1 is running novell 2.15.

The problem I am having is:

I have a workstation that is running dos 3.3 using net3.com to attach to the
file server FS1 and SOM.  I created a shell.cfg file that set the preferred
server to FS1. I also, changed net3 to netx.  Her workstation will only see
the SOM and PYTHON servers not the FS1 server.


Is there something I have overlooked????

LNE390 works fine for us too. The new LNE390B uses the same driver 
and has also a 10BaseT connector.

Place this at the end of the login script:

EXIT batchfile
