14 Lanman.ini File

This chapter lists and describes the lanman.ini file parameters that can be modified to

improve Advanced Server performance. It also contains tables which indicate the dispo-

sition of parameters that were in earlier versions of the lanman.ini file and now are in the

Advanced Server Registry.

When Advanced Server is installed, the lanman.ini file contains some default parameter

values. Other parameters and the titles of the sections in which they reside are added when

you change the Advanced Server configuration. Only parameters that have been changed

to values other than their default values are added to the lanman.ini file. If a parameter does

not appear in the file (or is commented out with a semicolon), it is set to its default value.

Before attempting to change any of the parameters available in the lanman.ini file, it is useful

to understand the relationship between the lanman.ini file entries and server defaults.

Every server parameter has a default setting. To display and edit default settings, a utility

program called srvconfig is provided in the /var/opt/lanman/bin directory.

You can edit the lanman.ini file to set parameters to values other than the defaults. A valid

value assigned to any parameter in the lanman.ini file always supersedes the default value

for that parameter.

When you want to set the value of a parameter to something other than the default, you

must edit the lanman.ini file, locate (or add) the appropriate section title in the file, and then

add the desired “parameter=value” entry.
