assistant: High! Rob,
Ref: Automatic loading and unloading of NLM's, dd.28-Apr-97, from: Rob
Berkers
Please tell more about Netware version, kind of backup program and what
NLM keeps what files open (what kind of files).
At work we have a Novell 3.12 server with Cheyenne Arcserve and at
backup time he/she politely asks the server to close the bindery and
asks to open it again when done. This seems to release all files (except
those in use by a few automatic work stations) for backup.

The main difference is 25 user limit per one server.
The second is simplified NDS.
The third is inclusion of NetWare Connect(if I remember) and a number

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
One of my friends have the following problem:
There is an IntraNetware (4.11) server and lotta connections to the server.
Typically there is  about 350 connections at the same time.
It's Compaq Proliant with dual P-Pro, 192Mb RAM, 25Gb disk space, etc.
Hardware works great and utilization is average.
Users with connection ID 251 or more have problem with old DOS
programs using Netware's TTS and other things that came from Novell
3.11. As far as I remember 3.11 max license were for 250 users... Old
programs are unable to get correct connection ID, etc. Is there any
way how to get around this problem except forcing users who need to
use old DOS stuff come to work earlier and get lower connection ID?
:)
Thanks in advance!

assistant: Hi all,
I'm having some problems with my backup; it doesn't back up all files on the
Netware 3.12 servers. I have a few servers containing over 90,000 files per
volume, and I want to know how many files and directories there are precisely
on the server. In that way I can compare the numbers the backup-program
reports to the real numbers. DOS 6.22 DIR, Norton Utilities and TREE-variants
fail here; they don't seem to count as far as 90,000 files.
Does anyone know a tool to count this number of files on a volume?
Thanx in advance,
Jeroen Feddema.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Shaun,
My users have these same problem every now and then, whatever printer or
workstation they use.
The problem at my site is that when you issue a print-screen, the page is not
full and there is no form feed (ASCII 12). Thus the printer waits for more
data or a form feed before it starts printing the page.
Printing from normal applications usually does not confront you with this
problem, since the app's isuue the final form feed themselves after the last
page.
You may try a CAPTURE LPT1 /FF for the printscreens, although it will result
in extra empty pages with prints from real applications.
Greetings,  Jeroen Feddema.

assistant: Matter of fact, I've got down to a ho-hum routine of hot server cloning using
a derivation of that fact.  Steps:
Put both servers online, both visible to one hot workstation.  Use
patriquin's PCOPY in update & subdirectory mode - skip any busy files.  On
our average production machines, this will chug away for half to threefourths
of an hour.
Working file area amounts to about 1 gig total.
Once this bulk work is done, shoo everyone off, then disconnect the cables
they were using so's they don't sneak back in during vital copy - and rerun
PCOPY in update.  This will complete in 3 to 5 minutes, as it's only copying
the files that were locked, or changed since the last pass.
Working set at any particular instant (especially over lunch break..:-) is
rather small.  (Love those lunch hours...:-)
Since you also blueprinted SYS while nobody was watching, now you cut in the
new server, and let the eager lads back on.   THEY think it took 5 minutes.
:-)
I'm well aware that the same effects can be done using other software - but
this particular aged-in-the-wood utility doesn't drop files - ever, and has
yet to be caught out in a single error.  XCOPY, COPY, and NCOPY all have egg
on the face when faced with that record.

Dave Hatch.

assistant: Hello Dave!
When last I read, Dave Hatch was typing this to Steve Sorenson about
Client based NW 3.12 back:
Ahh.......that works too <g>.
Unfortunately they already are <sigh>. We use the server as primarily
a file server. Only one application is server based. Of course, some
of the applications that are run from the clients happen to REQUIRE
long filenames (actually filenames like 8500.01.PMD) Naturally,
Netware doesn't like that without enabling LFN support.
I've got my backup problems solved! It was so incredibly simple to
fix. Probably why I never thought of it to begin with <g>.
Wolfgang Schrieber wrote a couple of NIFTY little utilities to open
and close the bindery (BINDOPEN.EXE and BINDCLOS.EXE). I just made a
batch file that first closes the bindery, then copies it to a
different directory. Then I close the bindery and do the backup.
Presto.....instant backed up bindery :}
All unattended. Sometimes it's just too easy <g>.

Yes.. just create the new volume and assign the space you want to it.
You can create up to 64 volumes in each server and up to 8 segments in each

If you have already assigned all 350 MB to SYS you should delete it and
create (install) it again with the size you want, data is lost unless you
backup.
I suggest you assign more than 60 MB to SYS because if it gets full of data
you cannot access it anymore.
