Chapter 5. Configuration Objects and Files When you create the NetWare server with the Install NetWare Server (INSNTWSVR) command, several objects are created on the AS/400 as discussed in "Step 3--Run the Install NetWare Server (INSNTWSVR) Command". This chapter provides information on which objects and configuration files are used. It also provides information on how they are related. When using NetWare on the Integrated PC Server, the following objects are needed: network server descriptions, IPX descriptions, line descriptions, IPX circuits, and storage spaces. Depending on your intended use, you may also need other objects such as controllers or devices. The centerpiece of these AS/400 objects is the network server description as shown in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-2 shows the relationship between values that are specified on the INSNTWSVR command and values that are used for the related network server, line description, IPX description, and IPX circuit objects.

The NWSD name, resource name, online status, language, country code, message queue name, and the information text are gathered from information that is specified on the INSNTWSVR command. If a local IPX connection is not needed, the LCLIPXCNN parameter value should be *NO. If *YES is specified, but local IPX is not active at the time of the vary on, a warning message is issued to indicate that the vary on completed successfully. However, local IPX is not active and should be started using the Start IPX (STRIPX) command. The name of the line description (LIND parameter) is the name of the NetWare server plus 01 for the line on port 1 and plus 02 for the line on port 2. For example, if the name of your NetWare server is HQSVR1, the name of the line description will be HQSVR101 for the line on port 1. However, if a line description with that name already exists, the number that is appended to the network server continues to be incremented up to 99. The type of line description, the local adapter address, the maximum frame size, and the line speed are used to update the NETINFO.CFG file. You must have an IPX circuit (IPXCCT) for each frame type to be supported with each of the line descriptions you are configuring. For a token-ring line description, this could be a circuit for *SSAP, *SNAP, or both. For an Ethernet line description, this could be a circuit for *SSAP, *SNAP, *ETHV2, *ETHNTW, or any combination. The IPX network number and the frame type of the IPXCCT is used to bind IPX to the network with the appropriate frame type. IPX Description
The IPX internal network number is the IPX number of your NetWare server. Use this number with the RCONSOLE command if your server is not shown in the list of available servers. If you want to change the IPX internal network number, you must change the value in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the SYS: volume. Tip:
By default you have one NetWare storage space added to your
network server description. This space is used for your NetWare server
system volume. The name of the storage space defaults to the name of your
network server description. Storage spaces also exist for the OS/2 operating
system. See Chapter 8. "Managing Storage
Spaces" for more information on the storage spaces that are associated
with OS/2.
OS/2 Server Configuration Files The OS/2 operating system on the Integrated PC Server uses configuration files such as CONFIG.SYS, STARTUP.CMD, PROTOCOL.INI, and SERVICE.INI when it activates the NetWare server. These files are called Base server configuration files. Note:
The Novell NetWare server uses configuration files such as STARTUP.NCF, AUTOEXEC.NCF, NETINFO.CFG, and NET.CFG when it is activated. These files, called NetWare server configuration files, are discussed in the following sections. For more information on configuration, see the following:
STARTUP.NCF is on the OS/2 E:\ drive. It contains the disk device driver, some NetWare SET statements, and the load of a NetWare fix package. If you have to change this file, use the INSTALL utility from a remote console screen. Notes:
AUTOEXEC.NCF is on your NetWare server system volume. It contains the base settings of the NetWare server. For example, it contains the server name and NDS information. Note:

The actual LOAD and BIND commands ; are contained in INITSYS.NCF and NETINFO.CFG. ; These files are in SYS:ETC. sys:etc\initsys.ncfTip: You should not use the AUTOEXEC.NCF directly as your main batch file because the default values for this file cannot be reset. For this reason, start your own customized batch file at the end of the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Locate this file on the E: drive so it can be easily changed or removed if the NetWare server does not start. For example, you can name the file E:\AUTOSTR.NCF then use the NetWare EDIT.NLM to change it.
SET PERFORMANCE TUNING nwhere n is a value from 1 to 10. See "Performance and Availability Considerations". NETINFO.CFG NETINFO.CFG is the configuration file that contains all the network information. Use the NetWare INETCFG utility from a remote console screen to change this file. NETINFO.CFG is located on the NetWare server system volume in the ETC directory. Note:
The NET.CFG file is used as the NetWare for OS/2 configuration file. This file is on the server C: and E: drives. Most of the parameters are used to set priorities between OS/2 and NetWare. An example of this file is shown in Figure 5-4. NETWARE FOR OS/2 PERFORMANCE TUNING 8 INITIALIZATION SCREEN DELAY 1 BASE SERVER MEMORY 6 SERVER MEMORY 51 AUTOMATIC MEMORY SHARING OFF BLOCK ALLOCATION SIZE 64Because the C: drive is read-only, this file cannot be edited. Editing the file on the E: drive has no effect. |
Tip:
The QFPADOWN.NCF file is run when the OS/400 network server description is varied off. Figure 5-5 shows the initial contents of QFPADOWN.NCF. You can add additional commands to this file that you want to run when the network server description is varied off. Add the lines to the bottom of the file, if needed.
