IP only Hot Standby This PTF contains full support for IP-only Hot Standby. To take advantage of this support, both the critical server and the Hot Standby server must be configured to use ONLY the TCP/IP protocol. To insure that this is the case, open NWSAA Server Configuration, double-click on Communication Executive, and select the Protocol tab. IPX/SPX and TCP/IP are BOTH selected by default. For IP-only operation, make sure that TCP/IP is the ONLY protocol selected. Click OK to close the window. Continue to configure Hot Standby as documented in the on-line help. Servers configured to use IP-only can only be monitored by IP-only servers. Servers configured to use IPX/SPX can only be monitored by IPX/SPX servers. If a Hot Standby server has both IPX/SPX and TCP/IP protocols configured , any critical servers it is monitoring must at a minimum have IPX/SPX configured. In other words, for Hot Standby purposes, if IPX/SPX is configured, it will be used for Hot Standby monitoring whether TCP/IP is configured or not. AppleTalk is not supported by Hot Standby. 2. SMA Performance Improvement - The SMA which was shipped as an APAR is fully integrated and tested. 3. 802.2 Trace enhancement - This is an enhanced problem determination tool so that customers can take LLC8022 traces for service to find problems quickly 4. LLC802 dynamic windowing - The dynamic windowing mechanism helps to clear congestion faster. 5. Display Adapters Name in the Config GUI - When configuring Data Link adapters the name of the adapters on the server will be displayed in a pull down menu. This will only work in remote mode. 6. Resize certain config windows (Host Links, LU, Downstream LU...) 7. Off line migration to SAA 4 (Separate downloads are available ) from SAA2.x ************************** KNOWN PROBLEMS ************************* 1. OLE/DB does not work on Windows 2000 client. It works on Windows NT/98/95. 2. Do not run Novell SLP DA (directory agent) while doing NWSAA load balancing using SLP. If you run DA the SA will not work. 3. If you unload nwsaa by "csdown", load the product in 2 steps. Load commexec followed by load nwsaa. 4. The FTP-AFTP gateway does not work on NW5.1. It works on NW 4.2 and NW 5.0. Novell will put out a patch later to make it work on NW 5.1. 5. When using Web admin on NW 5.1 start the URL by https: instead of http: 6. SSM audit trail does not work with the latest Novell client. A new IPX.NLM is available from Novell to fix this problem. **************************** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: **************************** SAA40020.EXE (*.EXE in the steps below) is a self-extracting file containing the shipped executables. The PARTS LIST is as follows: SHIPPED (fn ft) REPLACES SAACFG.EXE ADMINAPI.DLL PCSNOPS.EXE CSMODIFY.EXE IBMSLP.DLL SAACAPIR.DLL SAARAPCL.DLL SAACAPI.DLL SAACFMRI.DLL NWTN3270.NLM NWTN5250.NLM COMMEXEC.NLM ADMINAPI.NLM AS400PCS.NLM IWAPI.NLM APPN.NLM CREATSAA.NLM CSMODIFY.NLM DLCI.NLM IWCAPI.NLM IWNOF.NLM IWRAPI.NLM NWSAA.NLM STAT0126.NLM CMAT.NLM CMSPX.NLM CMTCP.NLM LBA.NLM LLC8022.NLM SMA.NLM LICENSE.NLM LMA.NLM IWFORMAT.EXE ************************************* Installing the fix on the system: ************************************* 1. Be SURE to download the saa40020.EXE file in BINARY format. 2. Create a Temp directory on the server and copy saa40020.EXE into the temp directory and run the file. The directory will now contain three new files. 40020.exe, expand.bat, SAA40020.txt. From a dos prompt, type: EXPAND 3. Stop NetWare for SAA. (csdown) 4. From the server, type: LOAD INSTALL (nw411) or NWCONFIG (nw50) Choose Product Options Choose Install a Product Not Listed Press F3 and specify the path where the patch is located on the server (ie - sys:\temp) Choose the language version of the server. 5. After the patch has been installed, down the server and Restart NWSAA 6. For all workstations where the Netware for SAA Configurator has been installed, run the SAAPTF20.EXE from the sys:\temp\saamgmt directory (map a drive to the server to get access to the sys: volume) ******************** CONTACT FOR Support: ******************** If you have any questions, please call the IBM SUPPORT CENTER for your Country.
