  1. Type the name of the tape device or save file to which you want to save the NWSD and then press Enter. 
To restore the NWSD, use the RSTCFG command. 
task 
To save your line and IPX descriptions and IPX circuit entries: 
Choose one of the methods listed below that you will use to save and restore your Integration for NetWare configuration: 
  • The RETRIEVE method gathers object information for you. 
  • The INSNTWSVR method uses the same command that you originally used to create your network server. 
The RETRIEVE Method
  1. Create a source file for the retrieved members. 
  2. CRTSRCPF FILE(MYLIB/NWTEST) TEXT('Source File 4 NetWare server NWTEST')
  3. Retrieve the configuration source from your NWSD into the source file. 
  4.   RTVCFGSRC CFGD(NWTEST) CFGTYPE(*NWSD)
             SRCFILE(MYLIB/NWTEST) SRCMBR(NWTES#NWSD)
    where you enter your network server description name for CFGD parameter value. Then, give the member a unique name that is different from the NWSD name. 
  5. Retrieve the configuration source from your IPX description into a source file. 
  6.   RTVCFGSRC CFGD(NWTEST) CFGTYPE(*IPXD)
             SRCFILE(MYLIB/NWTEST) SRCMBR(NWTES#IPXD)
    where you enter your network server description name for CFGD parameter value. Then, give the member a unique name that is different from the NWSD name. 
  7. Go to the Work with IPX Circuits (WRKIPXCCT) display and display all entries that start with the name of your server. Write down the internal IPX number, the frame type, and to which line they are connected. 
  8. tip 
    You can also use the SAVOBJ/RSTOBJ commands to save and restore IPX circuit entries. 
    • To save IPX circuit entries: Enter SAVOBJ OBJ(QAZSP*) LIB(QUSRSYS) DEV(your-device-name) OBJTYPE(*FILE) 
    • To restore IPX circuit entries: Enter RSTOBJ OBJ(QAZSP*) SAVLIB(QUSRSYS) DEV(your-device-name) OBJTYPE(*FILE). 
  9. Change the source files type from CL to CLP using the Work with Members using PDM (WRKMBRPDM FILE(MYLIB/NWTEST)) display. This allows the files to be compiled and saves either the source files, the compiled programs, or both. (To compile a member, use option 14.)

The INSNTWSVR Method

To use the INSNTWSVR command for the re-creation, you must have all the information you entered when you created your server. You need to have documentation of all the parameters from the first configuration or have a printout of your NWSD, line descriptions, IPX description, and the IPX circuit entries. (You can also use the retrieve option to get the information.) 

Depending on the method you choose (RETRIEVE or INSNTWSVR), you must follow that method for the restore operation. 

task 
To save your line and IPX descriptions and IPX circuit entries: 
The RETRIEVE Method
  1. Ensure that you do NOT have a network server description, line description, IPX description, or any IPX circuits with the server name. Restore your source file containing your network server configuration, or restore the already compiled programs. If you transferred only the source members, you must compile them now. 
  2. Run the program that creates the IPX description with the name of your server, for example, CALL NWTES#IPXD. 
  3. Run the program that creates the network server description, line descriptions and links to the storage spaces, for example, CALL NWTEST#NWSD. 
  4. If you did not add the ADDIPXCCT statements to the network server source file, you must add the circuits to your line descriptions, for example, 
  5.   ADDIPXCCT CCTNAME(NWTEST01) LIND(NWTEST01)
      IPXNETNBR(429F2001)
The INSNTWSVR Method
  1. Use the Install NetWare Server (INSNTWSVR) command to re-create your NetWare server configuration. Ensure that you do NOT have a network server description, line description, IPX description, or any IPX circuits with the server name. 
  2. Specify VRYCFG(*NO) on the INSNTWSVR command. You must also specify a replacement name for the network server storage space with a minimum size, for example, NWSSTG DUMMY 100. 
  3. Change the VRYCFG parameter in your NWSD after the command runs without any problems, if you like. You must remove the link from the replacement storage space and make a link to the original spaces. The first link must be the link to the storage space containing your NetWare server system volume. 

  4.  

     

    If you installed any special NLMs or name spaces on the original NetWare servers E: drive, or you had any major changes to STARTUP.NCF they will not be on the E: drive you created with the INSNTWSVR command. To restore your old E: drive, you must use the RSTOBJ command. 

      RSTOBJ OBJ(NWTEST3) SAVLIB(QUSRSYS) DEV(TAP01)

Saving and Restoring Server Storage Spaces

Save and restore the NetWare information in the server storage spaces, as follows: 

  • NetWare server configuration (C: and E: drives) 
  • Integration for NetWare licensed programs (D: and F: drives) 
Saving and Restoring Your NetWare Server Configuration

Use the SAVOBJ and RSTOBJ commands to save and restore the NetWare server configuration information, which is stored on the C: and E: drives. 

task 
To save server storage spaces with SAVOBJ: 
  1. Vary off the Integrated PC Server. 
  2. Save the object. 

  3.  

     

    In this example, the object name is the same as the server name with a 1 for the C: drive and a 3 for the E: drive. For example, NWRPL3 is the E: drive of server NWRPL. 

      SAVOBJ OBJ(NWRPL3) LIB(QUSRSYS) OBJTYPE(*SVRSTG) 
              DEV(TAP01)
    If you have multiple Integrated PC Servers on your AS/400, you need to save the E: drive for each server. Remember that the first part of the object name is always the server name. The second part of the object name is a number that corresponds with the drive letter. Each server's E: drive is unique to that server. You cannot substitute one E: drive for another. 
task 
To restore the E: Drive with RSTOBJ: 
  1. Vary off the Integrated PC Server. 
  2. Restore the E: drive using RSTOBJ. 
  3.   RSTOBJ OBJ(NWRPL3) SAVLIB(QUSRSYS) DEV(TAP01)
    Do not try to restore a storage space with a different name with the intent of starting the NetWare server with both the current and the old restored storage space linked at the same time. The NetWare server will not start properly if two volumes with the same name are mounted. 
Saving and Restoring Integration for NetWare Programs

You can use the SAVLIB command or the Save Licensed Program (SAVLICPGM) command to save the licensed programs, including PTFs. 

There are two methods for saving licensed programs: 

  • If you are saving licensed programs in case they are needed for a recovery, use the SAVLIB command. You can save just the libraries that contain licensed programs by specifying SAVLIB LIB(*IBM). 

  •  

     

    This save operation includes your NetWare server's D: and F: drives, which are unique for each language. If you have several languages installed, the F: and D: drives for any additional languages are in the QSYSxxxx library where xxxx is the language code. For example, if you installed German as an additional language, the German product files would be stored in QSYS2929. 

  • If you are saving licensed programs to distribute them to other systems in your organization, use the SAVLICPGM command. You can use a save file as the output for the SAVLICPGM command. You then have the option of sending the save file over your communications network. 
See Backup and Recovery for detailed information about saving and restoring licensed programs. 

Saving and Restoring Network Storage Spaces

You can use the following to save and restore NetWare information in the network server storage spaces:
 
Type of save/restore  Page  Description 
NetWare Volumes  "Saving and Restoring NetWare Volumes from the QFPNWSSTG Directory" Save and restore the NetWare system and user volumes, which are stored in the QFPNWSSTG directory in the integrated file system. 
SBACKUP or ARCserve  "Backing Up and Restoring NetWare Data Using SBACKUP or ARCserve" Backup and restore NetWare volumes, directories, and files on local and remote NetWare servers from SBACKUP or ARCserve for NetWare Version 6. 
QNetWare  "Saving and Restoring NetWare Data from the QNetWare Directory" Save and restore individual files, the entire directory, or SAV.RST resources in the QNetWare file system. 

If you are saving through the QFPNWSSTG or QNetWare directories, use the Save (SAV) command to save network server storage spaces to a save file, tape drive, diskette, or optical disk. Then use the Restore (RST) command to restore network server storage spaces. 

Saving and Restoring NetWare Volumes from the QFPNWSSTG Directory

Use the SAV command to save and restore the entire SYS and user volumes, which are stored on an Integrated PC Server. 

You must vary off the Integrated PC Server to save the storage spaces space as a single object; you cannot save or restore individual files or directories from the NetWare server on the Integrated PC Server. 

You can save a volume by saving all storage spaces that the volume spans. Because volumes can span across multiple storage spaces, take care to ensure complete volumes are saved and restored intact by saving and restoring all storage spaces associated with each volume. 

neicube 
If you have Enhanced Integration for NetWare installed, you can use the WRKNTWVOL command (F10=Show Segments option) to see which storage spaces are spanned by a particular volume. 
tip 
Because the NetWare system volume contains NDS information, your user data should be stored in a separate storage space and volume. This enables you to restore the user's data without restoring the system volume and affecting your NDS. See "Creating a Network Server Storage Space" for more information. 
task 
To save NetWare SYS and user volumes from /QFPNWSSTG: 
  1. Vary off the Integrated PC Server by using WRKCFGSTS (*NWS) and using option 2. 
  2. Type SAV and then press F4. 
  3. Press F10 to display additional parameters. 
  4. Type the information, as shown in Figure 11-3, and then press Enter. 

  5.  

     

    In this example, you're backing up a user storage space called NWRPL. All user storage spaces are in the QFPNWSSTG directory.

Backing Up and Restoring NetWare Data Using SBACKUP or ARCserve

Back up and restore volumes, directories, and files on local and remote NetWare servers from SBACKUP or ARCserve for NetWare Version 6. 

The SBACKUP utility is provided with NetWare and should already be installed on your NetWare server. ARCserve for NetWare is provided by Cheyenne Software, Inc. 

note 
You must have a local Integrated PC Server in order to backup and restore NetWare data with either SBACKUP or ARCserve for NetWare. 
Before you begin your backup or restore operation, see the following topics:  SBACKUP and ARCserve can directly access AS/400 tape drives to facilitate your NetWare and AS/400 backup procedures. Certification Bulletins at our Internet web site identify the tape drives that are supported for NetWare backup. 

You cannot use the following AS/400 tape drives to back up or restore NetWare data with SBACKUP or ARCserve:
 
1/2-inch cartridge tape drives  1/2-inch reel tape drives 
3480
3490
3490e
2440
3422
3430
9347
9348

Using AS/400 Tape Devices

Before you back up or restore NetWare data, you need to make sure the AS/400 tape device is varied off. However, if you plan to save to a tape that has been used but has not been reinitialized, you must initialize the tape while the tape device is varied on. 

atten 
Do not use a volume identifier when initializing the AS/400 tape because doing so can cause problems with the SBACKUP or ARCserve applications. 

 

 

You cannot save both NetWare data and AS/400 data on the same tape. 

task 
To initialize an AS/400 tape: 
  1. Enter WRKCFGSTS to see the list of devices available on the Work with Configuration Status display. 
  2. Make sure the tape device you want to use is varied on. 

  3.  

     

    If you try to vary on a tape drive that NetWare is using, message CPD27D2 appears. 

  4. Enter INZTAP to see the Initialize Tape (INZTAP) display shown in Figure 11-5
  5. The parameters you need to use are shown in bold. 

  6.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    Make sure you initialize enough tapes to save all of the NetWare data you want to back up. 
  1. Vary off the tape device you want to use. 
Now you can back up NetWare data to an AS/400 tape device. 
note 
If a tape device has been allocated to a media library, you need to deallocate the tape device from the media library device before you can access it from SBACKUP or ARCserve. 
* figure task not displayed.
To see if a tape device is allocated to a media library: 
  1. Enter the WRKMLBSTS command. 

  2.  

     

    The Work with Media Library Status display appears. 

  3. Press F11 to show the current allocation of the device you want to use. 

  4.  

     

    If the tape device is allocated to a media library, it will show as either ALLOCATED or UNPROTECTED under the Current Allocation heading. 

  5. If you need to deallocate the tape device from the media library device, use option 6 on the Work with Media Library Status display. 
Beginning Backup and Restore with the RCONSOLE Utility

Whenever you want to save or restore NetWare data using either SBACKUP or ARCserve, you first need to use the RCONSOLE utility to load the required NetWare NLMs. 

task 
To load the required NetWare NLMs: 
  1. Make sure the AS/400 tape device that you want to use on your AS/400 system is varied off. See "Using AS/400 Tape Devices" for more information. 
  2. Enter LOAD AS400TP.HAM on your local NetWare Integrated PC Server. 

  3.  

     

    The AS400TP.CDM and NWPA.NLM are auto-loaded. 

    note 
    You cannot load AS400TP.HAM on a remote server; it must be loaded on a local server where the AS/400 tape drives are located. 
  4. Enter AS400TP LIST

  5.  

     

    A list of AS/400 tape drives appears. Note that the devices are listed by resource name rather than by device name. 

      0) TAP01        6390   001
      1) TAP02        6390   001
      2) TAP03        6390   001
    note 
    Although AS/400 can have several tape devices attached, PCs generally have only 7 addresses available for peripherals; therefore, if you are using ARCserve, you can only use the devices numbered 0 through 6
  6. Enter AS400TP ALC n where n is a device number from the list shown in step 3 and ALC is an abbreviation for ALLOCATE. 
  7. tip 
    If the data you are backing up will fill more than one tape, make sure you initialize enough tapes before you start so you can continue the save operation. 

     

     

    This is especially important if you have only one AS/400 tape drive that works with NetWare, because you won't be able to stop in the middle of the save to initialize the next tape. If you have two drives available, you can initialize the second tape while your SAVE job is still active. 

    Brand new tapes also work well with the NetWare save applications, but tapes used previously in AS/400 don't work well unless they are initialized appropriately. 

  8. Enter one of the following commands: 
    • SCAN FOR NEW DEVICES for NetWare to detect the device you added. 
    • LIST DEVICES to verify that NetWare has detected the AS/400 device you allocated. 

    •  

       

      In this example, the AS/400 tape is listed as number 31.

Saving NetWare Data with ARCserve** for NetWare Version 6

You can use ARCserve to back up and restore NetWare data on both PC-based and Integrated PC Server-based NetWare servers. 

task 
To set up ARCserve: 
  1. Install the latest version of ARCserve. Be sure you update ARCserve by installing the Service Pak for ARCserve 6. 

  2.  

     

    Until a fix pack for ARCserve (dated after January 20, 1997) is available, a special ARCserve update for AS/400 Integrated PC Server users is also needed to allow ARCserve to work properly with NetWare tape support for OS/400. Download the update to the TAPESVR.NLM. This update contains a self-exploding file including a README.TXT file that contains information on applying the update. 

  3. Add the following statement to your AUTOEXEC.NCF file: 
  4.   SEARCH ADD SYS:\ARCSERVE.6\NLM\
    If you create a custom batch file for all the ARCserve LOAD statements, add this statement at the beginning of that file instead of AUTOEXEC.NCF. 
    atten 
    Do not run ASTART6.NCF. 
  1. If you are using the ARCserve Manager that runs under Windows**, you might need to add the following statements to your AUTOEXEC.NCF file: 
  2.   load sys:system\btrieve -p=4096 -f=20 -h=60 -l=20 -t=15 -u=0 -s=30 -m=512
      load bspxcom -d=8192 -s=15 -w=3
  3. Add the following statement to your AUTOEXEC.NCF file: 
  4.   Set minimum directory cache buffers=500
  5. Add the following statement to your STARTUP.NCF file: 
  6.   Set reserved buffers below 16 meg=200
task 
To backup and restore NetWare data using ARCserve: 
  1. Enter the following LOAD statements: 
  2.   LOAD NWASPI
      LOAD ASDB
      LOAD ASPIBD
      LOAD TAPESVR
      LOAD ARCSERVE
    To improve performance, add keyword USEABOVE16 when you load ASPIBD and TAPESVR. For example, load aspibd useabove16. Certain adapters can only use memory below the 16 MB range but AS400TP.HAM is not restricted to that memory range. 
    tip 
    You can put all of these statements in an NCF file. 
    The Available Options pop-up window appears. At this point, you can either continue in RCONSOLE or switch to the ARCserve Manager on the client PC. 
    note 
    You must format or erase the tape using ARCserve before you can start a backup. 
  3. Select Tape Device Management 
    • To backup NetWare data, select Format and then select Backup NetWare server
    • note 
      If an error message tells you there is no media, you might have to initialize the tape on AS/400. See "Using AS/400 Tape Devices" for details. 
    • To restore NetWare data, click Restore NetWare server
  4. After you finish backing up or restoring the NetWare server, you need to deallocate the tape device. To do this, enter: 
  5.   AS4TP DLC n
    where n is the number of the device you allocated in step 4

    For more information, refer to ARCserve for NetWare User Guide

Saving and Restoring NetWare Data from the QNetWare Directory
neicube 
Use the SAV command to save and restore NetWare objects in the QNetWare directory. You can save and restore individual NetWare objects in the QNetWare directory, such as volumes, directories, or files, or you can save the entire QNetWare directory. You can also save resources in SAV.RST. 
note 
If you save NetWare volumes, files, and directories from NetWare 3.12 servers or NDS trees in QNetWare, you can selectively restore NetWare data to the same location or to a different location from which the data was backed up. However, you cannot restore compressed objects from a NetWare 4.1 volume that has data compression specified *YES to a NetWare volume that either does not specify data compression or does not support data compression. For example, NetWare 3.12 volumes do not support data compression. 

 

 

If you save resources in SAV.RST or storage spaces, you cannot restore data selectively or to a different location from which the data was backed up. 

task 
To save NetWare data through /QNetWare: 
  1. If you are saving NetWare objects to a file, create one or more files for storing the NetWare objects that you plan to backup. To do this, enter: 
  2.   CRTSAVF FILE(mylib/mysave) TEXT('My Save/Restore
    File')
    where mylib is the name of the library in which your save file will be created and mysave is the name of your save file. 
  3. Start an authenticated connection to the NetWare server that has the objects you want to save by entering: 
  4.   STRNTWCNN SERVER('docserv') CNNTYPE(*SAVRST)
    If your NetWare user name does not match your AS/400 profile, you must also specify the NTWUSER and PASSWORD parameters. 
    point 
    If you have an authentication entry, you can skip to step 4
  5. When AS/400 starts the connection to NetWare, you can press F10 to see the types of connections started: 
  6.   Started *USER connection 1 to server docserv.
      Started *SAVRST connection 1 to server docserv.
      Started connection to server docserv.
    Note that you must have a *SAVRST connection to the server before you can save or restore NetWareobjects. 
  7. Type SAV and press F4 to see the Save Object display shown in Figure 11-7

  8.  

     

    In this example, AS/400 will save volume MYVOL on NetWare server DOCSERV

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    • If you want to save specific directories or files in the volume, you would just add them to the path. For example, to save all files and directories that start with the characters JEAN, you would type the following for the Name parameter:
    •  'qnetware/docserv.svr/myvol/jean*'
      
      
      note 
      If you use pattern-matching characters and the beginning of a directory name matches these characters, AS/400 saves both the directory and all the files in that directory. 
    • If you want to save NetWare resources, such as NetWare volumes, the bindery on your NetWare 3.12 server, or all the NDS objects in a NetWare 4.1 tree in SAV.RST, use SAV.RST as the device. For example, if you want to save myvol in SAV.RST, type the following for the Device parameter: 
    •   'qnetware/sav.rst/abc.svr/myvol/'
  1. Press F10 to see additional parameters and then press Page Down. 
  2. Change the System and the Clear parameters to *ALL as shown in Figure 11-8. This ensures that AS/400 saves the NetWare objects whether they are on local or remote NetWare servers, and that AS/400 will overwrite any existing data in the save file during the save operation.

To display the save file after AS/400 backs up the NetWare objects, enter: 
 DSPSAVF FILE(mylib.lib/mysave.file)

Use option 5 to display the objects that were saved to the file. 
task 
To restore NetWare data through /QNetWare: 
You restore NetWare objects very much like you saved them. For example, if you saved NetWare objects to a save file, you will restore the objects from the save file. 
  1. Start an authenticated connection to the NetWare server on which you need to restore NetWare objects by entering: 
  2.   STRNTWCNN SERVER('docserv') CNNTYPE(*SAVRST)
    If your NetWare user name does not match your AS/400 profile, you must also specify the NTWUSER and PASSWORD parameters. 
  3. Type RST and press F4 to see the Restore Object display shown in Figure 11-9

  1. Change the System parameter to *ALL and then press Enter. 

  2. The time to restore the NetWare objects varies, depending on whether you saved individual files and directories or storage spaces. If you want to monitor the restore process, use the RCONSOLE monitor. 

Memory Tuning for Save/Restore Performance

The save/restore processes are affected by the size of the AS/400 memory pool. To achieve acceptable save performance, do the following calculations. Each of the two calculations must have a result greater than or equal to 15MB: 

  • The pool size divided by 2. 
  • The pool size divided by the activity level of the pool. 
If insufficient memory is allocated to the pool where save or restore is running, the process takes much longer to complete. 
task 
To calculate memory for a save operation: 
  1. Determine which pool the job that must run the save or restore operation runs in. 

  2. For example, user PAUL plans to run the SAV command interactively. Using the WRKJOB command, you can determine the job ID, user ID, and job number for PAUL. They are QPADEV0012, PAUL, and 009534 (Figure 11-11).

    Now we know which pool to use for the calculations. 
  1. Calculate whether the pool has enough memory to run the job efficiently. 

  2. Use the WRKSYSSTS command to display the system storage pools (shown in Figure 11-13). As discussed previously, use the following two calculations to determine if adequate memory is allowed for the save operation. For each calculation, the size of the storage pool your job uses must be at least 15MB. 

    • The pool size divided by 2 
    • The pool size divided by the activity level of the pool 
    The first calculation says that you must have at least 30MB in the pool. 30MB divided by 2 yields 15MB, the minimum required. In Figure 11-13, system pool 4 has only 3043KB (3MB) of storage. 

    There is no need to perform the second calculation at this time. 3042K is not enough to begin with. Therefore, dividing that number by 4 emphasizes that a SAV job running in this amount of memory is going to take a LONG time.

  1. Notice that storage pools 1 and 2 have plenty of storage; therefore, you can now do one of the following: 
    • Increase the pool size 
    • Decrease the activity value 
    • Do a combination of the two 
    In Figure 11-14, the pool size was changed to 30000. Will this be enough? The first calculation yields enough memory: 
    30000 divided by 2 yields 15MB.

    Now, the second calculation; the pool size divided by the activity level: 
    30000 divided by 4 yields 7500  (7.5MB)
    More storage is needed. You may want to decrease the maximum activity level to 2 for this pool.

  1. Experiment with these values to ensure your save and restore processes are running as fast as they can. Ensure that you are not affecting other operations on the system by taking memory for the save operation. Other factors, such as the size of your files, tape speed, disk arms, your processor feature, also influence the speed at which AS/400 can save or restore your data. For more information on managing system activities, see the Work Management book. 

  2.  

     

    If less than the recommended memory is allocated to the pool where the save is running, the save operation may take significantly longer. Also, if there is other work being run in the pool you may have to increase the pool size. For example, the job PAUL was not the only one running in system pool 4 in Figure 11-12. Use the guideline calculations as a starting point. For restore operations, start with the same calculations and adjust the pool size, if necessary, to achieve the acceptable restore performance.
