Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k01 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 1 Preface Advanced Server for UNIX can be used to integrate personal computers, which are operated under MS-DOS® (also running MS Windows or MS Windows for Workgroups), MS® OS/2 or OS/2® (referred to as OS/2 in this manual), Windows 95/98 and MS Windows NT® operating systems, in local networks (LAN, Local Area Network and WAN, Wide Area Network). Advanced Server for UNIX allows the operation of various systems in a network.
Target Group The “User's Guide for MS-DOS Clients” and “User's Guide for MS Windows Clients” are aimed at users of the MS-DOS or Windows clients. They provide information on starting up and closing down clients, and on shared directories and printers. They also provide references to the commands available for working with the client. The manuals “Installation Guide for Clients”, “MS Network Client V2.2”, and “MS Network Client V3.0” describe how to install these clients.

Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Client-server architecture 2.1 Client-server architecture One or more server systems and several clients (workstations) are connected in a network (LAN, Local Area Network and WAN, Wide Area Network) with Advanced Server for UNIX. The server systems provide services and resources in the local network.
Shared resources 2.2.1 Names in the network © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX In the network, servers, domains, clients, users, and resources are assigned unique names. The following table describes briefly the various types of names in the network. Name Meaning System name Name of the UNIX system Computername, server name Each server and client in a network must have a unique computername.
2.2.1.1 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Shared resources System name Each UNIX system has a unique name in the network, which can be displayed using the command uname -n and set as the network node name using the SYSADM utility program. ! 2.2.1.2 In order to avoid problems, it is strongly recommended that the system names you assign are unique throughout the network.
2.2.1.3 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Shared resources Username Every user of a client is assigned a username by the administrator, which is unique throughout the network. Users are identified by their usernames in the network. i 2.2.1.4 The username consists of three to fifteen characters: letters, numbers, spaces and special characters without / \ * ’ " ‘ !.
2.2.1.6 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Shared resources Domain name A domain gets its domain name during installation of the primary domain controller. The backup domain controllers are assigned during installation of a domain. The assignment of a client to a domain is defined while it is being installed; it can be reconfigured later or, on some clients, modified temporarily with the net logon command, for example.
Shared resources The attributes r and d are mapped to the relating UNIX mechanisms. The attributes a, s and h, as well as any possible combination of these are translated to Advanced Server for UNIX by means of UNIX group names. The table below, for example, shows how the MS-DOS file BSP.DAT with the attributes a and h and the MS-DOS file READONLY.BSP with the attributes a, r and h are mapped under UNIX: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.
Shared resources Existing configurations are not modified during an upgrade installation. You should therefore use either the Registry Editor or the regconfig command to set the value of the EAFilePrefix parameter in the registry to .EA@ under the key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AdvancedServer \FileServiceParameters. If you previously operated Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0A10 with the setting UseEAs=1, you will now have to rename all hidden shadow files with the extended file attributes.
Shared resources 2.2.4 Shared directory © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX A shared directory is a file tree of a server system, which was shared for the usage in the local network. Users can access the shared directory from a client using the sharename. In this case, users work with the shared directory as they would with a local drive or directory on their clients.
Shared resources Authorized users can assign this shared directory to their clients. The network name of the shared directory (in accordance with DOS naming conventions) \\server1\sf1 is linked on the client to a local drive letter, e.g. j:, using the command net use j : \\server1\sf1. © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX i The user may have to allow additional drive letters on the client in the configuration file config.
Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX 2.2.5.2 Shared resources Shared client printer It is also possible to route the output of the printer spooler to a printer which is connected to a client (shared client printer). For further information, please refer to the manuals entitled “MS Network Client V2.2” and “User's Guide for MS-DOS Clients”. 2.2.5.
2.2.6.1 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Shared resources LM named pipes Advanced Server for UNIX also provides LM named pipes. They are bidirectional communication channels for interprocess communication in the network. They differ from UNIX® named pipes.
2.2.6.2 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k02 Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Shared resources Mailslots Mailslots are unidirectional communication channels. They are created by an application process on the server or by a client process on the client. In contrast to LM named pipes, several processes can write to the same mailslot simultaneously but only the process that created the mailslot can read from it.

Advanced Server WINS is designed to solve the problems that occur with name resolution in complex internetworks.
Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Implementing WINS Name Resolution Services 10.1 Name Resolution Services Advanced Server WINS with TCP/IP requires a unique IP address and computer name for each computer on the network. Although programs use IP addresses to connect computers, administrators use “friendly” names to connect them.
Name Resolution Services DNS name resolution ● © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a way to look up name mappings when connecting a computer to foreign hosts using NetBIOS over TCP/IP or applications such as FTP. i Advanced Server does not use this method. An LMHOSTS/names.cfg file to specify the NetBIOS computer name and IP address mappings, or a HOSTS file to specify the DNS name and IP address.
Name Resolution Services Defined within NetBT are modes which specify how network resources are identified and accessed. The most common NetBT modes are as follows: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS ● b-node, which uses broadcast messages to resolve names. ● p-node, which uses point-to-point communications with a name server to resolve names. ● m-node, which first uses b-node and then—if necessary—p-node to resolve names.
Name Resolution Services In this environment, when CLIENT_PC1 wants to communicate with CLIENT_PC2, it queries the WINS server for the address of CLIENT_PC2. Upon receipt of the address, it goes directly to CLIENT_PC2 without broadcasting. Because the name queries go directly to the WINS server, p-node avoids loading the network with broadcasts. Because broadcasts are not used and because the address is received directly, computers can span routers.
Name Resolution Services Other Combinations © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS Another variation, known as Microsoft modified b-node, is used in Advanced Server networks to allow messages to go across routers. The modified b-node does not use p-node mode or a WINS server. In this mode, b-node uses a list of computers and addresses stored in an LMHOSTS file.

In a WINS and broadcast name resolution environment, a WINS-enabled client computer will behave differently than a non-WINS-enabled client computer.
Name Resolution Services If WINS is not enabled on the client: For a non-WINS computer to register its name, a name registration request packet is broadcast to the local network stating its NetBIOS computer name and IP address. Any device on the network that previously claimed that name challenges the name registration (with a negative name registration response), resulting in an error for the computer attempting to register the duplicate name.
Name Resolution Services Name Release © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS When a computer finishes using a particular name, it no longer challenges other registration requests for the name. This is referred to as releasing a name. If WINS is enabled on the client: Whenever a computer is shut down properly, it releases its name to the WINS server, which changes the state of the related database entry from active to released.
Name Resolution Services If WINS is not enabled on the client: Name resolution works in the following manner: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS 1.

Managing the WINS Server Database 10.7.3 Scavenging the Database © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS The local WINS database should be cleared periodically of released entries and old entries that were registered at another WINS server and replicated to the local WINS server, but for some reason did not get removed from the local WINS database.
Troubleshooting WINS Servers 10.7.4 Compacting the WINS Database © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS There is no built-in limit to the number of records that a WINS server can replicate or store. The size of the database is dependent on the number of WINS clients on the network. The WINS database grows over time as a result of clients starting and stopping on the network.
Troubleshooting WINS Servers To ensure that the WINS service is running: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS Ê Use the wins status command at the Advanced Server command prompt to verify that the WINS service is running. The command should display three processes named "nbrfcdaemon", "lmx.ep" and "lmx.wins". You can also use the Services option in the Server Manager to verify that the WINS service is running.
Troubleshooting WINS Servers To discover why a WINS server cannot pull or push replications to another WINS server © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k10 Implementing WINS Ê Use the ping utility to verify that each WINS server is running and is available to establish a connection. Ê Ensure that each server is correctly configured as both a pull or push partner: ● If ServerA needs to perform pull replications with ServerB, make sure it is a push partner of ServerB.
Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 11 Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to troubleshoot a computer running Advanced Server for UNIX Systems. It identifies the various tools that are available to you for use in the troubleshooting process and provides a high-level approach to use whenever troubleshooting is required. Troubleshooting Advanced Server involves gathering data about the problem and analyzing that data to determine the specific cause of the problem.
Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools 11.1 Advanced Server Troubleshooting Tools Advanced Server provides a variety of tools that can be used as troubleshooting aids. These tools can be arranged into the following three categories: ● Tools used for assessing the status of the server. ● Tools used for automatic notification of the status of the server. ● Tools used for debugging specific server problems.
11.1.1.2 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools Server Statistics Advanced Server maintains detailed statistics about its current usage as well as cumulative usage over a particular period of time. It is always helpful to review these statistics on a regular basis as well as when a server problem is encountered. Current Statistics To view data about current server use, use Server Manager.

11.1.1.4 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools Open Resources When a user uses a shared file, the file is open. Sometimes a file will be left open, perhaps even with a lock on it, because of an application program error or some other problem. Such files will remain open and unavailable to other users. Administrators can close these files.
Advanced Server Tools 11.1.2 Tools Providing Automatic Status on the Server © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Quick response time is critical when dealing with server problems. Being aware of a problem at the time it occurs can decrease greatly the effect that the problem may have on the server user community. Advanced Server can be configured to notify specified users when a problem occurs.
Advanced Server Tools 11.1.3 Tools for Debugging Server Problems © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Advanced Server includes UNIX system commands that can be used to troubleshoot server problems. These commands are executed at the Advanced Server command prompt. This section summarizes these commands and describes the roles they can play in troubleshooting a server.
Advanced Server Tools How does the administrator know to which lmx.srv process a client is connected? Executing the lmstat -c command at the server prompt usually provides the answer. The system displays output similar to the following: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Clients: BANANA~X (nwnum=0, vcnum=0) on 19916 ORANGE (nwnum=0, vcnum=0) on 19916 PEAR (nwnum=0, vcnum=0) on 19988 Notice that each client name has an associated process ID number.
11.1.3.5 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools samcheck The samcheck command is used to check, dump, and fix the SAM database. You can use this command to determine whether the user accounts database has been corrupted and optionally, to fix it. The samcheck command also can be used to output the contents of the user accounts database to stdout in human-readable format. 11.1.3.
11.1.3.8 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Procedures asxcheck The asxcheck command can be executed to create the check file $xASX/logs/asxcheck. with the result of several checks for a correct installation and configuration of AS/X and NetBIOS. Different tests will be made and saved with three keywords which have a specific priority.
Troubleshooting Procedures 11.2.1 Isolating the Problem © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Advanced Server runs on a UNIX system computer. The server depends upon a fullyfunctional NetBIOS network to perform its file and print serving functions.
Troubleshooting Procedures Step 1: Verify the Status of the Physical Network © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting The first item to check is the physical network. The majority of today’s networking hardware provides status indicators that can be used to assess the state of the various network links (for example, 10-Base-T Hubs use LEDs).
Troubleshooting Procedures Connectivity between nodes using TCP/IP may be available but if connectivity between NetBIOS names is not working then Advanced Server will not work. All Advanced Server communications are based on NetBIOS name sessions. Use the test tools provided with your protocol software to verify NetBIOS level connectivity. If you find a problem, isolate it according to the information provided with the NetBIOS protocol documentation.
Troubleshooting Procedures If all users of a server are experiencing a problem, then you should start with more basic assessments of the state of the server. These are described in the following sections. © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Is the Server Running? It is worthwhile to verify that the server is actually running.
Troubleshooting Procedures Are There Messages in the Error Logs? © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Always check the error logs used by the server. You can view the system, security, and application logs from a client computer using Event Viewer or at the system console using the elfread command. You also can view the logs in the PRINTLOG share area if there is a printing-related problem.
Troubleshooting Procedures Are All of the Server Resources Properly Shared? © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Some server resources are shared automatically every time the server is started. These resources are used in the background by clients while performing other server activities.
Troubleshooting Procedures The system displays a list of shared resources similar to the following: © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.
Different System Access Permissions 11.2.3 Troubleshooting a Shared Resource © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting If you can communicate with the server but cannot access a shared resource, check the following items: 1. Verify that the shared resource exists by using the net view \\servername command. If the shared resource name is not displayed, then it does not exist. In that event, you must re-share the resource. 2.
Different System Access Permissions UNIX system access permissions on an Advanced Server file will be compatible with the Advanced Server only if the UNIX system access permissions are changed explicitly. If these UNIX system access permissions are modified, they can prevent access to a file or directory even if Advanced Server access permissions grant access. © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.
11.3.1.1 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Different System Access Permissions UNIX System Group Permissions and Advanced Server The effect of setting UNIX system group permissions on Advanced Server files is limited. In the UNIX system, the group field is used for storing information about file attributes. When a file is accessed from a client computer, its group may change to reflect its attributes (for example, to DOS----).
Different System Access Permissions 3. Other — You can assign access permissions to files and directories that you own for all UNIX system users other than yourself and the users in your group. Depending on your needs, you can allow these other users to read or change your files and directories or you can prevent such access. Restricting access to others does not affect your own access to the files and directories. © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.
11.3.1.6 © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Solving Browsing Problems Changing UNIX System Access Permissions You can use the uchmod command from a client computer to change the UNIX system access permissions for files and directories. With the uchmod command, you enter only the access permissions you want to change. You do not have to enter all of the permission characters.
Solving Printing Problems Resolution © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Edit the Advanced Server Registry to change the value of the LmAnnounce keyword to 1 (yes). Advanced Server then will broadcast LAN Manager-style server announcements. The LmAnnounce keyword is in the following key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters The server must be stopped and re-started for the change to take effect.
Solving Printing Problems Resolution © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting You must associated the printer with an appropriate driver. Follow these steps to change the printer-driver association: 1. From a Windows NT client computer, select the printer whose driver you wish to change in the Printers folder. 2. Click on Printer Properties. If you receive a Printer Properties error, select “No”.
Solving Printing Problems Problem © Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG 1995 Pfad: D:\O7613e6\u7613e.k11 Troubleshooting Print jobs in the queue are not printing. Resolution 1.
