Five important things you need to know to use Notes Administration Help are:
To open Administration Help as a database double-click the Notes Administration Help database icon on your Notes workspace.
To get help on your current administration task, click Help or press a Help keyboard shortcut such as F1 when you are in an Administration dialog box. If it is not an administration dialog box, the Notes Help database will open, and you will receive help through that database (see Getting help on non-administration tasks below).
To find an entry in the Index view of Administration Help, click the view pane, type as many letters as you want of the entry you're looking for, and click OK. Click the green triangle next to any index entry to expand its documents.
To jump from one topic to another, double-click green
underlined h
text (press green text in a box for a pop-up definition of a term). To return to where you were, click Go Back. You can also return to the Help Contents screen by clicking Help Topics at the top of any topic.
To search for a word or phrase anywhere in Help, click Search in the navigation pane and follow the instructions in the view. When you search, Notes shows all the Help topics that contain the word or phrase, in order of the most occurrences.s
Getting help on non-administration tasks
Notes Administration Help provides information and context-sensitive help for Notes administration tasks only. For Help on Notes tasks other than administration, you will use Notes Help. If you are running a Notes workstation, Notes Help should be available when you open the Help database by choosing Help-Help topics, or by clicking Help in a dialog box that is not related to Notes administration.

Typically, you install one protocol per network interface card. However, you may be able to install more than one protocol on a card, depending on the network standard with which it is compliant, ODI or NDIS. Before you attempt to install a network protocol, you need to know whether the existing protocols, and the one you are adding, are standard or proprietary protocols.
You can put both ODI-based and NDIS-based protocols on one network interface card. The most common tools you use to do this are Novell's ODINSUP and IBM's ODI2NDI.
You can install up to four NDIS-compliant protocols on one network interface card.
You can install more than one ODI-compliant protocol on one network interface card.
These are requirements for adding a network protocol to a Domino server or Notes workstation when network protocols already exist on the machine:
If you are using NDIS drivers or the VINES proprietary network driver and the Domino server or Notes workstation is configured with NDIS drivers, you can add an additional NDIS-compliant protocol on the existing network interface card. Otherwise, you must install a separate card for additional protocols.$
With DEC PATHWORKS, you can install additional NDIS-compliant protocols on the existing network interface card because PATHWORKS uses NDIS-compliant protocol drivers.
If you are using TCP/IP from IBM, you can install additional NDIS-compliant protocols on the existing network interface card because TCP/IP uses NDIS-compliant protocol drivers.
If you are using IBM LAN Server, you can install additional NDIS-compliant protocol drivers on an existing network interface card because IBM's LAN Server uses NDIS-compliant protocol drivers.
If you are using Microsoft Client Services for NetWare, you can install additional NDIS-compliant protocols on the existing network interface card because Microsoft NetWare Client uses NDIS-compliant protocol drivers.d
If you are using Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT, you can install additional NDIS-compliant protocols on the existing network interface card because Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT can use NDIS-compliant protocol drivers.
If you are using Novell NetWare Requester with SPX on operating systems other than Windows NT, you must install additional protocols on separate network interface cards, unless the additional protocols are ODI-compliant because the NetWare Requester uses ODI network drivers, rather than NDIS drivers.
Install additional network protocols on a separate network interface card if that protocol meets any of the following conditions:
The additional protocol runs with drivers that do not comply with the same protocol standard as your existing protocols.
You want to dedicate a separate card to an additional NDIS protocol.
If you are trying to install an additional ODI-compliant protocol on a system that is already running an ODI-compliant protocol, the protocols can share a single network interface card.

If a Domino server uses IBMEENB.DLL, the default resources are insufficient and result in the Domino system message,
Insufficient network or adapter resources
. If a Domino server uses NETBIOS.DLL, the default resources may be insufficient depending on the requirements.
To modify the default network resources, you need to modify the NOTES.INI file on servers using IBMEENB.DLL or the PROTOCOL.INI and the IBMLAN.INI files on servers using NETBIOS.DLL.
If you are using IBMEENB.DLL and need to change the maximum number of commands, sessions, and names. Enter the following information in the NOTES.INI file or Server Configuration document in the Public Address Book:l
- NETBIOS_
lana_resource_program_
- NETBIOS_
resource_program
- NETBIOS_
resource
where
lana
is the Unit/LANA number;
resource
is commands, sessions, or names; and
program
is the process whose resource you want to modify.
Domino searches for a resource name in the NOTES.INI file and uses the most specific instance of the resource name, using the order of precedence listed above. For example, if you have two statements in the NOTES.INI file, NETBIOS_0_SESSIONS_ROUTER and NETBIOS_SESSIONS_ROUTER, Domino uses NETBIOS_0_SESSIONS_ROUTER since NETBIOS_
lana_resource_program
takes precedence over NETBIOS_
resource_program.
If you enter a setting for a resource with the same precedence more than once in the NOTES.INI file and there is no other setting with higher precedence, Domino uses only the first instance of the setting in the NOTES.INI file.
A Notes session can take up to two commands when simultaneously sending and receiving. If you do not allocate enough commands, Notes may drop sessions or display an error. Domino attempts to allocate the maximum number of resources when the Domino process starts and reduces this number until the request is successful.l
Keep in mind that non-Domino applications also use NetBIOS resources. Be sure to configure Domino and non-Domino application resources appropriately so that each has sufficient resources. It may be necessary to modify the number of sessions allocated to the ISERVER.EXE process to ensure adequate resources are available for other processes, since ISERVER.EXE is the main process started on the Notes server.
If you are using either NETBIOS.DLL or IBMEENB.DLL and need to change the maximum sessions, commands, and names values for Global Resources (PROTOCOL.INI), see the IBM online book
MPTS Configuration Guide
As a general rule, allocate twice as many commands as sessions, plus five additional commands. For example, if you need 100 sessions, then allocate 205 commands.
If you are using NETBIOS.DLL and need to change the maximum sessions, commands, and names values for LAN Server Resources (IBMLAN.INI), see the
IBM OS/2 LAN Server Network Administrator Reference, Volume 2: Performance Tuning, Version 3.0
(S96F-8429) or the online book
Performance and Tuning
shipped with LAN Server.m
As a general rule, allocate twice as many commands as sessions, plus five additional commands. For example, if you need 100 sessions, then allocate 205 commands.
Note
The above recommended values apply only to Domino operation. These values are in addition to those required by or already allocated for LAN Server (IBMLAN.INI) or other NetBIOS applications in the system. The sum of all these NetBIOS resources must not be greater than the global settings in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

To ensure data security, do not create mapped directory links to NetWare file servers for Domino servers. Links can cause the following problems:b
Database corruption because of network failure. If the network fails while the Domino server is writing to a database on the file server, the database can become corrupted.
Database corruption because of simultaneous access. If the Domino server is using a database on the file server and another user accesses the database directly through a drive mapped to the file server (instead of through the Domino server), the database becomes corrupted.r
Security. When Encrypt network data is enabled in the User Preferences dialog box (File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports), all Domino server and Notes workstation traffic is encrypted. However, the file I/O between the Domino server and the file server is not encrypted.
Wrongful access. Some administrators have direct access to a Domino file, bypassing the access control list (ACL).

SPX provides two types of sockets, Dynamic Sockets and Static or Well Known Sockets. Novell assigns Well Known Sockets to products for exclusive use by those products. Applications using Well Known Sockets always listen on the same socket number. Novell manages the registration of these sockets, allocating them from a range of 0x2000 - 0x3FFF. Dynamic Sockets are sockets that are allocated from a range of 0x4000 - 0x7FFF. Applications using Dynamic Sockets use whichever socket number the IPX/SPX stack allocates to the application, which typically means that the same socket number is not used twice.
Connections initiated by a Domino server or Notes workstation use a Dynamic Socket. For the Listener Socket, the SPX port driver uses a modified algorithm for allocating sockets, called Persistent Dynamic Sockets and always tries to use the same socket number. If the socket number is unavailable, the Domino server lets the IPX/SPX stack assign one.B
When a Domino server using SPX starts for the first time, it uses a Dynamic Socket. This socket number is then saved.
Subsequent invocations of the Domino server use the socket number saved above. Therefore it is called a Persistent Dynamic Socket.
If for some reason this saved socket number is in use (when another application using Dynamic Sockets has allocated this socket), the Domino SPX server allocates a new socket number and saves it for future invocations.
This approach gives many of the advantages of a Static or Well Known Socket. Sites that want to control the socket number used by the Domino server may set a NOTES.INI variable NETWARESOCKET. Connections initiated by a workstation or server still use a Dynamic Socket. This variable is useful for sites that want to filter SPX packets by socket number. The NETWARESOCKET variable applies only to the Listener Socket. If the variable NETWARESOCKET is set in the NOTES.INI file and Domino cannot access the specified socket, then the Domino server will fail to start. This can happen when the socket number the server normally uses is in use by another application.
To help minimize the chance of this, assign the NOTES.INI variable NETWARESOCKET to the address of a Static Socket. Then, if no other application running on your system is using that Static or Well Known Socket number, the Domino server uses it.L

Notes workstations use the NetWare Services configured in the Port dialog box to find a Domino server on the network.
When a Notes workstation attempts to locate a Domino server on the network, Domino uses the underlying NetWare Services in the following order:
1. If NetWare Directory Services (NDS) is enabled, the Domino server's NDS distinguished name is used to search the NDS tree.
2. If Bindery Services are enabled, the server's common name is used to query the Bindery.
3. If Automatic is enabled (the default setting when you install a workstation), Domino uses the following algorithm:l
Using NDS, the server's distinguished name is used to search the NDS tree.
Using Bindery Services, the server's common name is used to query the Bindery.

When a Notes workstation user tries to connect to a Domino server, Domino and VINES StreetTalk try to locate the StreetTalk address of the Domino server using one or more of the following methods.
1. Check Normal priority Connection documents. Domino looks for Normal priority Connection documents in the Personal Address Book. You can enter the StreetTalk name of the VINES PC-based Service that the server uses in the Destination Server Address field of the Connection document. This field is not required.s
2. Check the Public Address Book of the home server for the address of the server.
3. Check the Public Address Book of the secondary home server for the address of the server. Unlike a TCP/IP secondary home server, the destination is not administered anywhere on the client interface: Domino broadcast to all Domino servers running VINES. The first server to respond provides the address of the server, if known.d
4. Check the StreetTalk and StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA).
If the full StreetTalk name of the PC-based service is known or if the service is in the same VINES group and organization as the user at the Notes workstation, the workstation issues a GetPort call to its StreetTalk server for the address of the PC-based service.
If this does not locate the Domino server, use the pre-configured VINES STDA server if it exists, broadcast for an STDA service, search the Other Services and Nickname classes for matches on the server's common name, or request the StreetTalk name from the StreetTalk server (use the DOMINO.INI setting VinesServerGroup to shorten the STDA search).
5. Check Low and Normal priority Connection documents.
When a new Domino server is added to the system, the VINES port driver cannot use STDA until STDA updates its directory to include the new server name. If there are duplicate Domino server names, STDA checks for the next alternate in the VINES user profile. Enter the following in the user profile to ensure that an alternate VINES file server is found:h
!SETSTDA VINES v
server namet
/ALTh
Where VINES server name specifies which server retrieves the STDA database. ALT gives the name of the next available server to retrieve the STDA database if the first server name is unavailable. For more information about the !STDA command, see the Banyan VINES Command Reference.
StreetTalk recognizes each Domino server by its PC-based service name. The Domino server name and the item portion of the PC-based service share the same name. For example, if the Domino server name is Excalibur, the PC-based service is the following:e
Excalibur@group@organization
Domino hierarchical names map easily to VINES StreetTalk names and simplify server searching. For example, if the Domino server name is GreenThumb/Shipping/Acme, the Domino VINES driver can quickly find the VINES service named GreenThumb@Shipping@Acme. Domino can find the server even if the StreetTalk group and organization portions of the name differ from the Domino organization and organizational unit portions of the name. However, the item name -- for example, Green Thumb -- must be the same as the Domino server's common name.e
The farther apart logically the workstation and server are (using bridges and routers), the more complicated and time-consuming these searches become. Try to keep servers and workstations as close together as possible.i

Naming is different for a Bindery Service Network than for an NDS network.
Names on a Bindery Service Network
Domino server names in NetWare Bindery Services use the Domino server common name. For example, the Domino server ServerA/Acme becomes ServerA in the NetWare Bindery. NetWare Bindery names can contain up to 48 characters. Domino server Bindery names must be unique. The syntax for Domino server names, based on a combination of Domino name rules and NetWare Bindery rules, is:
Names larger than 48 characters in length are truncated. i
Only alphanumeric characters are allowed.
Multi-byte characters are converted to hex.
Leading and trailing spaces are removed.
Spaces are condensed and converted to underscore.
Names are uppercase, because the Bindery is case sensitive.
The following characters are not allowed:
/ slash
\ backslash
: colon
; semicolon
+ plus
- minus
, comma
* asterisk
? question markn
Names on an NDS network
Domino server names in NDS use the NDS distinguished name format. The distinguished name format is the path from the root of the NDS Tree to the object, which in this case is the Domino server NDS object. If a Domino server name is ServerA/Acme in the Sales group, then its NDS name may be CN=ServerA.OU=Sales.O=Acme. Domino server NDS names must be unique. Using the NDS distinguished name guarantees this uniqueness. =
For example, the Domino server CN=ServerA.OU=Sales.O=Acme is not the same as CN=ServerA.OU=Marketing.O=Acme. We recommend that the Domino common names be unique as well. As specified by NDS, common names (CN=) can contain up to 64 characters. Distinguished names can contain up to 256 characters and can include name types, periods, and equal signs. The syntax rules for Domino server names are the same as the NDS syntax rules and include the following:
Alphanumeric characters
Case-insensitive names
No spaces
The following characters are not allowed:
/ slash
\ backslash
: colon
; semicolon
+ plus
- minus
, comma&
* asterisk

In the VINES environment, names play an important role in workstation-to-server communication. The following section provides information on the naming systems and conventions.
StreetTalk
StreetTalk is a VINES naming system that lets you assign a unique name to any object on a VINES network. Domino uses StreetTalk to resolve the names of Domino servers on a VINES network.
StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA)
StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA) is a VINES directory service used to look up StreetTalk names on the network. When you have Domino running on VINES, Domino uses STDA to locate Domino servers. STDA locates servers quickly, but changes are not recorded until the system is updated. Administrators generally update STDA every 24 hours. Names entered prior to an update are not recognized as valid VINES addresses unless a nickname is defined.
Assigning StreetTalk names and nicknames to Domino servers
You must assign a unique StreetTalk name to each Domino server on the VINES network. You assign these names when you install the Domino server. StreetTalk names have the following syntax:v
Item@Group@Organizationr
To assign a StreetTalk name to a Domino server, create a PC-based service for each server.
1. For OS/2 Warp, at the command prompt, type
mservice
2. For Windows NT and Windows 3.1, select File - Run z:\mservice.
3. For Windows 95, select Start - Run z:\mservice.
4. Select Add a PC-based service.
5. Make sure you add the PC-Based service (Domino server) to the correct organization. The name of the Domino server corresponds to the first part of the StreetTalk name. For example, the PC-based service for a Domino server named Grapevine is:
Grapevine@PS@Notes
When a Domino server or Notes workstation attempts to connect to a Domino server on a VINES network, it determines the VINES network address of the Domino server. StreetTalk stores the network address associated with the name. Domino uses only the first part of the StreetTalk name. To establish communication, Domino and StreetTalk work together to determine the full StreetTalk name and the network address of Notes workstation on a VINES network to establish communication.
A VINES administrator can create a nickname in StreetTalk to refer to another StreetTalk name. You can create the nickname as a typing shortcut (for example, SF@PS@Notes to refer to Software@PS@Notes). Domino can use nicknames to refer to the PC-based service in another group. For example, the nickname Grapevine@Support@Notes is the same as the PC-based service Grapevine@PS@Notes.S
Using this nickname, a user from the group Support (for example, Smith@Support@Notes) can see the Domino server Grapevine (in group PS) because the nickname points the way.
Nicknames are useful when the STDA is down or during the time between the addition of a new Domino server and the next update of the STDA. If you enter a new name for a Domino server and want the name to take effect immediately without waiting for the next STDA update, create a nickname.

Domino supports two different tools that you can use to administer a Domino server NDS object -- NwAdmin with the Domino NwAdmin Snapin (NDSNOTES.DLL) and NDSMgr. These tools let you:
Create a Domino server NDS object class
Create a Domino server NDS object
Delete a Domino server NDS object
View the attributes of a Domino server NDS object
NwAdminS
Novell's standard tool for administering NDS and all objects in the tree is called NwAdmin. Domino has supplied a Snapin to NwAdmin, which allows Domino servers to be administered using one standard tool. The Domino Snapin is implemented as a DLL called NDSNOTES.DLL. You must configure the NwAdmin tool before you can use it.
Using the NwAdmin graphical user interface, administrators may access the pull-down menus to determine the actions that can be performed on the Domino server NDS object. NWADMIN.EXE and NDSNOTES.DLL is a Windows only application. The Domino server NDS object class and servers are represented using the Domino icon.
Use the following menu selections in NwAdmin with the Domino NwAdmin Snapin to manage a Domino server NDS object:
To...
Action
Create a Domino server NDS object class
Choose Tools - Define Notes Class.
Delete Domino server NDS object class
Choose Tools - Define Notes Class
Add a Domino server NDS object class
1. Choose Object - Create
2. Select Domino server object from list box
3. Enter the Domino server name
Delete a Domino server NDS object
1. Select the Domino server
2. Choose Object - Delete
Read a Domino server NDS object attributes
Select the Domino server
View a Domino server NDS object attributes
Double-click the Domino server NDS object in the list box
NDSMgr
For administration on OS/2 Warp, Windows NT, and Windows 95, Domino provides NDSMgr. NDSMGR.EXE is a character-based program, which runs from the operating system prompt. It provides all the same functions as NwAdmin with NDSNOTES and is a Domino NDS manager application for those platforms that do not support NwAdmin.
The NDSMGR.EXE file is located in the Notes directory. In addition, NDSMgr uses Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) found in the Notes directory. It is a good idea to keep NDSMGR.EXE in the Notes directory.
You can use the following commands with NDSMgr:
-c Create the Domino server NDS class
-r Remove the Domino server NDS class
-a Add a Domino server to the tree
-d Delete a Domino server to the tree
-s Read a Domino server object attributes
The following command adds the Domino server Burke to the tree:
-a cn=Burke.o=Acme
The following command deletes the Domino server Burke from the tree:
-d cn=Burke.o=Acme
The following command reads the object attributes of the Domino server Burke:
-s cn=Burke.o=Acme

To monitor or troubleshoot network activity on a Domino server or Notes workstation, use the Domino server console to check the status of the network port. The server console lists the following port status:
Aborted transmissions
- Network transmissions that are canceled. May indicate problems with the network card. Run diagnostics and replace the card if necessary.
Adapter name table
- Names by which the server and applications running on it are known by non-Notes computers and applications on the network. A name can also be part of a NetBIOS group, identified in the table as "grp." (Name 5 is the server name. The first 15 characters are blank-space filled; the 16th character is a + sign.) You need to know this format if the server communicates through a bridge that uses manual name registration.
Adapter resources
- Current status of the network adapter card. You can use these statistics for fine-tuning network performance. For example, if the number of sessions in use is equal to the maximum number of sessions, you may want to increase the maximum number of sessions in the network configuration file.
Adapter session tablei
- Status information about current network sessions. You can see such information as the local session number (LSN), the state of the session (Listen pending, Session created), the local and remote names, and the number of Receive and Send commands pending. On lines that contain "Listen Pending" in the State column, an asterisk (*) in the Remote Name column means "receive connections from anyone."
Alignment errors
- Network alignment errors reported on this port. Alignment errors occur when the number of bits received is not a multiple of 16, so the boundary between characters is ambiguous. This is considered a frame error and may require a new network interface card. It may also be caused by badly formed data packets or a loose cable.
Available command blocks
- Number of NetBIOS control blocks available now. If this drops to a low number, the Notes server may not be able to support additional users.
Collisions
- Network collision errors reported on this port. Caused when packets on the network collide and are damaged; could be caused by a loose cable.
CRC errors
- Number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors reported on this port. CRC is used for message transmission and reception verification. CRC errors mean that the CRC included in the frame does not match the actual number of bits in the frame. CRC errors cause retransmissions and network degradation and can be caused by badly formed data packets or a loose cable on a network port.
Maximum sessions
- Number of sessions configured for this server. Compare this to the number of sessions in use.M
Network unit status2
- The revision number of the network software.g
Number of packets droppedf
- The network dropped packets, because there was no buffer ready to receive them. May be caused by insufficient link support buffers or by transmissions from a fast network.
Packets received
- Number of network packets received on this port.a
Packets transmittedc
- Number of network packets sent from this port.i
Reporting period
- Collection time for statistics.
Retransmissions
- Network transmissions that were retried. Packets are retransmitted when they don't reach their destination the first time. Causes include CRC errors, alignment errors, collisions, and aborted transmissions.
Session data packet size
- Varies depending on the network. In NetWare, it is the maximum amount of data it can send in a single packet.
Sessions in usem
- Sessions that are active now. If the number of sessions in use is equal to the maximum number of sessions, you may want to increase the maximum number of sessions in the network configuration file.
Total command blocks
- Number of total command blocks configured. Should be set to 1-1/2 times the number of sessions.
Traffic and error statistics
- Shows the communications activity on the port. Used to troubleshoot network hardware or track network performance.

A protocol is a set of rules that govern how computers share information over a network. Some network protocols are proprietary, or developed for use and modification by a single organization, and some are industry standards. Often, a protocol starts off as proprietary, and when a substantial number of other computer hardware and software vendors create products that support that protocol, it becomes a standard.s
These network protocols are compatible with Domino:

Domino supports networks compatible with two protocol standards:
Network driver interface specification (NDIS)
Open data link interface (ODI)
NDIS and ODI provide standard functions and calling interfaces that enable network drivers to work with network interface cards.
The NDIS network protocol standard
Domino supports Ethernet and Token Ring networks that use network drivers compliant with NDIS. You can install up to four NDIS-compliant network protocols on one network interface card (NIC).c
The NDIS architecture has three main software components:n
A protocol driver which is usually provided by the protocol vendor.
A protocol manager which is usually provided by the protocol vendor and which enables the protocol driver and media access control (MAC) driver to communicate with each other.I
A media access control driver which directly controls the network interface card.
Protocol drivers form the top layer, the protocol manager forms the middle layer, and MAC drivers form the bottom layer of the protocol stack. This stack implements the protocols and drivers that link applications to specified NICs. NDIS driver software is available from most NIC manufacturers, from bulletin board systems, or as part of the network operating system. e
The ODI network protocol standardm
ODI functionality enables multiple ODI-compliant protocol drivers to share a single card, and Novell's ODI NDIS Support (ODINSUP) drivers enable multiple protocol drivers that comply with NDIS or ODI to share a single card. Before ODI existed as a standard, you had to install a separate network driver and network interface card for each machine on a network. Using ODI, you can install more than one network protocol on a NIC, and that card can support various protocols on the network.

These settings do not appear in the NOTES.INI file automatically. Instead, the NetWare SPX port driver assumes default values for each setting unless you edit the NOTES.INI file.
The following settings affect Domino servers on a NetWare network using SPX and NDS:
NetWareSocketk
-- Defines the socket number that the Domino server will use to listen for connections. Specifying this variable overrides the Domino internal algorithms to determine the Listen Socket.
If the specified socket is already in use, the
Domino server does not start. You can fix this problem by closing the application that is using the same socket as Domino, or re-assigning a new socket to the Domino server. To limit the likelihood of this, the administrator can assign an IPX WellKnown/Static Socket to Domino to make sure this socket is not in use on this system by other SPX applications. The socket range for IPX WellKnown/Static sockets is 0x2000 - 0x3FFF. If a site does not care which IPX/SPX socket is used, there is no need to specify a NetWareSocket variable.
The default is that Domino will let the IPX/SPX protocol stack choose the socket number.
To verify the actual IPX/SPX socket in use by the server, issue from the console a "SHOW PORT spx_port_driver_name" and check the socket of the session that has a status of LISTENING. Another method to verify the actual socket used by the SPX port driver is to check the following in the NOTES.INI:
NetWareSpxSettings=0,0,0,0,0,3,17393 where 17393 is the value of the Domino SPX socket in decimal.
NWNDSUserID
-- Defines the Domino server's NDS Service/UserID, which is used to log in to the NDS tree. Since this is stored in the Domino server NOTES.INI file, this user ID is only as secure as the device it is stored on. The default is no NDS Service/User ID, which means an administrator needs to log in to the NDS tree before starting the Domino server.
NWNDSPassword
-- Defines the Domino server NDS Service Password, which is used to log in to the NDS tree. Since this is stored in the server's NOTES.INI, the NDS Service Password is only as secure as the device it is stored on. The default is no NDS Service Password, which means an administrator needs to log in to the NDS tree before starting the Domino server.
For more information on NOTES.INI settings, see Appendix A in
Getting Started with Domino.

During installation, Domino creates the NOTES.INI file, which contains settings that define how Domino runs. The following settings affect Domino servers and Notes workstations on a VINES network:
VinesBroadcastHops
--W
Defines the hop count and hop costs for Domino servers for user-visible broadcasts. Default is 2.o
VinesNameServerHops,
-- Defines the hop count and hop cost for Domino servers and Notes workstations for Domino name server requests. Default is 1.i
VinesServerGroup
-- Defines the search group for Domino servers and Notes workstations.u
VinesServiceName
-- Defines the service name for Domino servers only.
None of these settings appear in the NOTES.INI file. Instead, the VINES port driver assumes default values for each setting. To change these defaults, use the Set Config command at the server console.
Note
Change the default settings only if you need to enhance network performance or are troubleshooting the system. For more information on network performance and troubleshooting, consult your Banyan VINES administrator.
VinesBroadcastHops
Domino servers and Notes workstations send name server requests to the network when the Notes workstation or server is first set up and when the workstation's home server is unavailable.t
For example, when you try to open a database, the home server provides a list of available Notes Domino. If the home server is unavailable, Domino broadcasts a message to all Domino servers. The first server to respond provides the list of servers for the session.
A broadcast message might need to "hop" between one or more VINES subnetworks before it reaches its destination. Hops are associated with different degrees of cost from "high cost" (high connection price, low communication speed) to "free" (LANs only). The more hops between servers and workstations, the greater the cost and potential loss of efficiency.
VinesNameServerHops
To set the name server and broadcast parameters in the NOTES.INI file, use the Set Config command at the Domino server console.s
Set Config VinesNameServerHops=
hop counth
hop cost
hop counts
-- A value from 0 to 15 that specifies the number of hops the broadcast can make before failing. Values over 2 are not recommended because they may result in slower performance or duplicate broadcast messages received.
hop cost --
The maximum cost hop this broadcast can make. This can be any one of the following values: A (all costs), M (medium cost), L (low cost), or F (free).
Example: SET CONFIG VinesNameServerHops=4,L
Default: VinesNameServerHops=2,L
VinesServerGroup
Search groups are useful when the Street Talk Directory Assistance is not available. If a Notes workstation user requires a default search group, instead of adding nicknames to all user groups, the VINES administrator should use the VINES mgroup utility to create the default search group "Lotus Notes".
To set this parameter in the NOTES.INI file, use the Set Config command at the server console:
Set Config VinesServerGroup=
group@orgv
You do not have to specify the @org. If you do not, Domino inserts the current user's organization.
Example: Set Config VinesServerGroup=Administration@Acme
Default: VinesServerGroup=Lotus Domino
This parameter is available to both Domino servers and Notes workstations.
VinesServiceName
If the logged-in administrator and the Domino PC-based service are not in the same StreetTalk group, you can set the VinesServiceName parameter to the full StreetTalk name of the Domino PC-based service. If they are not in the same group, then it is easier to determine the group the server is in when the name of the server is the full StreetTalk name of the PC-based service. For example,
servername/group/org maps easily to servername@group@org.
To set the VinesServiceName parameter in the NOTES.INI file, use the Set Config command at the server console. For example,F
Set Config VinesServiceName=servername@group@organizationn
There is no default for this parameter. It is available only to the Domino server.

Domino servers and Notes workstations use the AppleTalk port driver to communicate on an AppleTalk network. The following Domino servers and Notes workstations run on AppleTalk:
OS/2 Warp server
Windows NT server
Novell NetWare 3.12 and 4.11 server
Macintosh workstations
For additional information on operating systems, including required patches, see the Release Notes.
Domino AppleTalk workstations on one type of network can communicate with AppleTalk servers on other types of networks through AppleTalk routers that connect the Domino server to Ethernet or Token Ring networks.
The following operations specific to Domino and AppleTalk. This information is provided here for your information when using Notes with AppleTalk.
An AppleTalk entity name has three components: the object, type, and zone used by the AppleTalk name binding protocol (NBP). For a Domino server, the object is the first 32 characters of the common name (CN=) portion of the server name; the type is "Lotus Notes 1"; the zone is the default zone of the AppleTalk network to which the server is connected.p
Notes does not support more than one AppleTalk port on a Domino server.p
(OS/2 Warp only) AppleTalk Phase 1 and AppleTalk Phase 2 can run on the same AppleTalk network only if the network is using Phase 1-to-Phase 2 transition routers. This configuration is recommended only for highly experienced network engineers. Notes AppleTalk protocol drivers support AppleTalk Phase 2.
On a Macintosh, to avoid downtime when the home server is temporarily unavailable, specify a preferred backup home server. Choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports, highlight the AppleTalk port, and select AppleTalk port setup.A

Domino servers and Notes workstations use VINES protocols and the Domino VINES port driver to communicate on a VINES network. The Domino server and VINES file server must be separate machines. Domino servers and Notes workstations in a VINES environment are VINES clients. The same VINES files exist on both the Domino server and the Notes workstation.
These Domino servers and Notes workstations can run on VINES:
OS/2 Warp server and workstation
Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups workstation
Windows NT server and workstation
Windows 95 server and workstationp
Using Banyan Mail
To send mail between Domino and Banyan Mail, you need the mail gateway product V-Bridge for Domino. V-Bridge is sold by Computer Mail Services, Inc.
PC-based services: On a VINES network, Domino servers are VINES PC-based services running on OS/2 Warp VINES clients, Windows 95 VINES clients, and/or Windows NT VINES clients.
Using Domino and VINES for remote communications
For recommended modem requirements, see the
Domino
nstall Guide
or the
Notes Designer Install Guide
. An analog phone line is required only for Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) asynchronous dial-up but is optional if you have a single LAN. If you use IBM hardware, use OS/2 Warp Version 3.0 or later.
To access Domino servers over VINES with Banyan PC-Dial In:
1. Copy all the .DLL files from the Z:\ drive to a directory on the local hard drive.
2. Include this directory in your system PATH statement.
Note
Banyan PC-Dial In does not run in Windows Enhanced mode.
Banyan VINES bulletin board
You can access the Banyan VINES bulletin board for patches and updates to Banyan VINES software.
For additional information on operating systems and required patches, see the Release Notes.

This release accommodates many types of TCP/IP configurations by supporting multiple TCP/IP ports. In most cases, only one TCP/IP port is necessary. Domino automatically listens for TCP connections on all network interfaces. It is not necessary to configure additional TCP/IP ports unless you want to enhance configuration by controlling and separating specific types of traffic (for example, replication and routing) or provide extra security to specific types of TCP/IP traffic (for example, LAN vs. Internet). Both Domino servers and Notes workstationssupport multiple TCP/IP ports.
The following examples show the most common scenarios, describing the benefits of configuring additional TCP/IP ports. The final sections define how to configure multiple TCP/IP ports.
Examples using multiple TCP/IP ports
Multi-homed hosts are computers that have two or more physical connections -- for example, network cards -- that require multiple IP addresses. Routing between each network segment is performed by the TCP/IP stack, and thus only oneTCP/IP port driver needs to be configured to manageDomino traffic. Alternatively,Domino can be configured with multiple TCP/IP ports, allowing more control over network traffic and network segments, and needing more complex configuration and administration.d
It is important to note that by adding another network card and TCP/IP port, there is no impact on the amount of Domino sessions obtainable on a Domino server. For TCP/IP, the machine's capacity is dependent upon processors and memory.
Some of the more common configurations that benefit by configuring more than one TCP/IP port include:
Load balancing network traffic by spreading it across parallel network segments
Essentially, if you have two network cards, you have two networks. One network may be used heavily, the other not as heavily. The load is balanced by directing destination traffic to a specific port on that server via connection records that ensure using the right network to connect to a given target server.
Hub that communicates with spokes over separate network segments
Domino networks may be logically segmented by the administrator based on throughput requirements. For example, all Notes workstations may be targeted for one particular network/NIC, while all Domino server traffic is destined for another network/NIC. A port must be configured for each NIC/network and managed by connection records, as explained at the end of this section.k

Multiple NICs may be added on the same physical network if the administrator feels that the NIC itself presents a bottleneck to accessing the underlying network. This is rarely the case.
Security benefits and customized TCP/IP optionsx
Often, a host serves as a gateway to the Internet and the LAN. For performance purposes, a TCP/IP port may be configured for unencrypted Domino traffic, while another port may be configured for encrypted Internet Domino traffic. Performance on the LAN is more efficient with encryption disabled.
Using different TCP/IP port numbers
It is not recommended that you change a Domino port number. If, for some reason, this is necessary, you can do it whether you have one card or multiple cards. There is one rule of thumb to remember; two port drivers can listen on the same network card (IP address) only if they are configured with different port numbers.
The port name line syntax is:
PORTNAME_TcpIpAddress=0,
IP Address
port number
The following configuration is valid since it uses a different port number :
TCP_TcpIpAddress=0,198.115.100.12:5000
TCP2_TcpIpAddress=0,198.115.100.12:1352o
The following configuration is invalid since it uses the same port number and same address:c
TCP_TcpIpAddress=0,198.114.100.12:1352
TCP2_TcpIpAddress=0,198.114.100.12:1352
Each Domino server and Notes workstation connecting with port number 5000 must have their services file changed for that port number (see "TCP ports used by Domino"), or they can enter this in the network field in the connection record as 198.114.100.12:5000.o

In the Novell NetWare environment, the native, or primary, protocol is the SPX protocol. The following Domino servers and Notes workstations can run on SPX:
OS/2 Warp server and workstation
Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups workstation
Windows NT server and workstation
Windows 95 server and workstation
UNIX (HP-UX 10.01, Solaris 2.5, IBM AIX 4.1.4 and 4.2) server and workstationn
For additional operating system information, including required patches, see the Release Notes.f
You can also run Domino with Novell NetWare using the NetBIOS protocol over Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). To do this, you must install the Novell NetBIOS emulator. This software enables Domino servers and Notes workstations to communicate using NetBIOS through the NetBIOS port driver.
To use Domino with SPX, a NetWare file server must exist on the NetWare network. The NetWare server and a Domino system may be separated by a router and do not have to be on the same LAN. If you do this, make sure that routers are not filtering out Novell server broadcasts. The NetWare file server is required because Notes workstations and servers connect to it to obtain Domino server SPX addresses.
How to set up Domino servers and Notes workstations for SPX
To set up your Domino servers and Notes workstations for SPX, follow the procedures for your platform. Special implementation details appear under the following section headings:
Setting up Domino with SPX on OS/2 Warpa
Setting up Domino with SPX on Windows
Setting up Domino with SPX on Windows NT
Setting up Domino with SPX on Windows 95
Setting up Domino with SPX on NetWarek
Setting up Domino with SPX on UNIX
After you complete the procedures in this chapter, you can set up an SPX port on your Domino server or Notes workstation.

All Domino servers and Notes workstations run on TCP/IP, including:r
OS/2 Warp server and workstation
Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 workstation
Windows NT server and workstation (Intel, Digital)
Windows 95 server and workstation
UNIX (HP-UX, Solaris, Solaris Intel Edition, AIX) server and workstation
Macintosh workstation (MacTCP and Open Transport)
NetWare 3.12/4.1 server
Note
Lotus does not certify that Domino runs over the NBT protocol (NetBIOS emulated over TCP). However, Lotus supports customers who choose to use this configuration.
For additional information on operating systems, including required patches, see the Release Notes.
TCP/IP drivers
TCP/IP drivers are installed in the Notes program directory during Domino installation. When you select a network port during the Domino server or Notes workstation setup procedure or add a port later, select TCP/IP as the network choice, and Domino uses the appropriate network driver to configure the port.
The TCP/IP network driver can coexist on a Domino server or Notes workstation with any other supported network driver.
TCP ports used by Domino
By default, Domino servers use the TCP port 1352 when listening for Notes workstation connections. This port number was assigned to Lotus by the Internet Assigned Number Authority, so it is unlikely that it conflicts with any other application on the network. Notes workstations use dynamic port numbers which the TCP/IP network software chooses from a range of numbers that are available for this purpose. A workstation that connects to a Domino server connects to server port 1352.
To use a different port number for servers, configure the TCP/IP service "lotusnotes" in the manner appropriate to the network. This is generally done by adding a line to a file named "services," which is usually located in a directory called \etc. The line should resemble the following:
Lotusnotes e
portnumber
/tcp # LotusNotesc
where
portnumber
is the port of your choice. It is very important to edit this file on every Notes workstation and Domino server that is communicating.d
Communication between different Domino TCP/IP platforms
The information that Domino sends over TCP/IP is platform independent. This means that any Notes workstation can communicate with any Domino server over TCP, regardless of platform, as long as they are both using TCP/IP.
Data security
We recommend that you configure all TCP/IP Domino servers to reject TELNET and FTP connections. We also recommend that none of your TCP/IP Domino servers participate in the Network File System (NFS). Using these services requires that you properly maintain the TCP/IP password file to guarantee a secure environment on the system. With NFS running in a non-secure environment, it is possible to breach security by accessing the files through the NFS system instead of through the Domino server.
Secondary name server
For Notes workstation, the TCP/IP secondary name server is used when one of these three conditions occurs:
The workstation user's mail server is down.r
The workstation user's home server is not running TCP/IP.p
The workstation user's home server cannot be resolved over TCP/IP.
Domino uses the secondary name server to build a list of servers and their addresses for a Notes workstation to access when it needs to find a Domino server. You specify the TCP secondary name server address in the location document under the Advanced section. These fields allow you to specify the server name and IP address.
To get to this setting, choose File - Mobile - Locations and open the location for which you want to change this TCP/IP setting. Under the Advanced section, you see these two fields:
Secondary TCP/IP Notes server name
Secondary TCP/IP host name or address
Note
The Advanced section appears only if you have a location defined as Local Area Network or Both Dialup and Local Area Network.
Secondary TCP/IP Domino Server NameD
- You may enter one of the following:
The common name of the Domino server -- Notesserver1
The hierarchical name -- Notesserver1/Acmecorp1n
Secondary TCP/IP Host Name or Addresss
- You may enter one of the following:
IP address 197.114.33.22
The fully qualified domain name -- notesserver1.acmecorp1.com
The host name -- Notesserver1
If you specify only the host name in this field, you must use Domain Name Service (DNS) or local host files. When you specify the IP address in this field, Domino resolves the host's IP address without having to perform a DNS or host file lookup. You can specify a different secondary name server for each LAN location defined.d
Secondary name server during setup
During setup on either a Domino server or Notes workstation, if the server you are trying to connect to is not able to be resolved using TCP/IP, a dialog box appears allowing you to enter a Server Name and IP address using the same rules as described above. Although the dialog box indicates that you should enter a secondary name server, you can enter the TCP/IP Domino name server and address for your mail server instead of the secondary name server and address. Domino stores these values in a location document in the Personal Address Book.

The Domino server includes one NetBIOS network driver for Windows NT, Windows 95: NETBIOS.DLL
The Notes workstation includes one NetBIOS network driver for Windows 3.1, and Windows for Workgroups: NETBIOS.DLL
The Domino server includes two NetBIOS network drives for OS/2 Warp: NETBIOS.DLL and IBMEENB.DLL.
Note
The term LAN Server refers to both the Server and LAN Requester functions of the LAN Server network operating system.
In most cases, you use the NETBIOS.DLL network driver. This driver uses the Submit interface and makes calls to NETAPI.DLL. To use this driver, you must install IBM LAN Requester and have it running before you start Notes.
If LAN Server and LAN Requester are not installed, use IBMEENB.DLL. This driver uses the NB30 interface and makes calls to ACSNETB.DLL. Without LAN Server to provide the Submit interface API for NetBIOS, the only available route NetBIOS calls over NetBEUI is the NB30 interface.
Use the IBMEENB.DLL network driver only if you are an advanced network administrator. A thorough understanding of NetBIOS resource allocation by MPTS, LAN Requester and LAN Server (if installed), and all NetBIOS applications is required to configure NetBIOS resources correctly. a

Domino network drivers are software files that control network communication to and from Domino servers and Notes workstations. When you install Domino, network driver files are placed in the program directory. r
Each protocol requires its own network driver. Some network drivers are supplied with the Domino server and Notes workstation software and are installed automatically when you install Domino. Other network drivers come with network operating system software, and you must install these separately.

A NIC provides the physical access between a Domino server or Notes workstation and a network. A NIC typically plugs into an expansion slot on the computer and provides a connection for a network cable. The NIC contains processors that translate signals that pass between the network and the computer. NICs are directly associated with the network protocols you install on a Domino server or workstation. In fact, the network protocols are actually installed on the NIC.
The number of network protocols you can install on a NIC depends on the protocol. Sometimes you can install only one protocol on a card; in other cases, you can install multiple protocols on a network interface card.

After you add the Domino server object class to the NDS Schema, you can create the Domino server NDS object using one of the NDS tools -- the NwAdmin with the Domino NwAdmin Snapin (NDSNOTES.DLL) or NDS manager (NDSMgr). The created object is not initialized. The object is initialized when you start the Domino server corresponding to this Domino server NDS object. The first NDS operation the SPX port driver does is to verify that the NDS object is present. Once found, the Domino server initializes the NDS object. In this context, initialization means to update the object with the Domino server IPX/SPX address, and set the state of the object to "initialized." Once set to "initialized," other Notes workstations and Domino servers can access the Domino server using its NDS object.
Unlike the Bindery, where Services must constantly update the bindery or the service is purged, Domino NDS objects are persistent. When a Domino server is down, its corresponding NDS object is still present in the NDS tree. Notes workstations and servers using NDS and attempting to connect to a Domino server that is down get an error message informing them that the server is not responding.o
You can view Domino server NDS object names in NDS with various browsers. You can use only NwAdmin with Domino NwAdmin Snapin (NDSNOTES.DLL) or NDSMgr to examine the attributes of Domino server NDS objects, if the user is logged in with sufficient privileges. Viewing the Domino server NDS object name in NDS does not require any special privileges. Using NwAdmin with the Domino NwAdmin Snapin (NDSNOTES.DLL), the Domino server is identifiable as having the Domino icon. Other viewers may display the Domino server with a "Smiley Face," which is used by some NDS viewers to display unknown objects, for example, the OS/2 Warp File Manager.
As previously mentioned, the Domino server NDS object is persistent. It is also only updated when one of the attributes listed below changes. For example, this can occur when a new NIC card is installed, which means that the IPX/SPX address has changed.
Domino server NDS object attributes and descriptions
Below are a list of attributes for a Domino server NDS object. These attributes are visible only when using NwAdmin with the Domino NwAdmin Snapin (NDSNOTES.DLL) or NDSMGR with sufficient privileges. Other users may be able to browse the NDS tree, see the Domino server NDS object's name, but cannot see its attributes.

Server Namee
NDS Name of Domino Server--for example, CN=Server_Foo.OU=Sales.O=Acmea

Domino servers and Notes workstations support Novell's NDS with SPX.
Minimum user and server login rights neededo
When using NDS, a user login object needs a minimum of BROWSE rights to the NDS tree. This enables the user to browse the NDS Tree and read the Domino server attributes.
The Domino server user login object needs to be a TRUSTEE of the Directory Tree Context Object to include BROWSE, CREATE, COMPARE, READ, and WRITE.
Preferred Trees and Default Contexts
Specifying Preferred Tree and Default Context parameters guarantees that you always use the same tree. If your site has more than one NDS tree, specifying a Default Context gives Domino a starting point within the tree to begin the search for a Domino server. This should decrease lookup times within your NDS tree.r
The method you use to specify the Preferred Tree and Default Context depends on your operating system. If you are using OS/2 Warp or Windows 3.x, you specify these parameters in the NET.CFG file. If you are using Windows 95 or Windows NT, you specify these parameters through the Control Panel.

Do not store Domino databases using a mapped drive on a NetWare file server. Storing Domino databases on a NetWare file server more than doubles network traffic. A simple Domino transaction can require a large amount of disk I/O, which must be sent across the network to the file server.f

The Port dialog configuration box contains additional options for configuring a SPX port. To get to these configuration options, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - SPX Options. The default option is NetWare Directory and Bindery Services.
There are three options in this dialog box:
NetWare Directory and Bindery Services --
If both NDS and Bindery Services are installed on a given system, the Domino server tries both methods. A Domino server that advertises its services on the network does so using all available NetWare Services (such as Service Advertising Protocol/SAP and NDS). For resolving addresses on remote systems, Domino tries an NDS lookup first. If the NDS lookup fails, Domino then tries a Bindery lookup. Bindery Services uses the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP). If the administrator does not want to use NDS, then the Bindery Service option should be selected.
NetWare Directory Services (NDS) --
This option is the NetWare 4.x method of resolving addresses and advertising services. Since NDS is a static database, services only update the database once. The information stored in the database is persistent. The implication is that a Domino server's NDS Object can always be found in the NDS Tree whether or not the server is currently running. This method takes up less network bandwidth than the Bindery method, which does broadcasts using SAP.
Bindery Services --
This option is the NetWare 3.x method of resolving addresses and advertising services. Servers broadcast an advertisement every 60 seconds on the network. The Bindery is a dynamic database that maintains information about various services. Servers query the Bindery to look up information such as a remote systems network address. Since it is a dynamic database, if a service does not update the Bindery within a few minutes, the entries for that service are deleted.

The ports dialog box contains additional options for configuring an SPX port. To access these configuration options, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - SPX Options.
There are two options in this dialog box:_
Automatic configuration
Advanced configuration
If you select automatic configuration, the Notes workstation configures the SPX port with the NetWare Services (Bindery, NDS). If only one service is available, then the Notes workstation selects that service. If it detects that both Bindery and NDS services are available, then it configures both services within the SPX port.
If you select advanced configuration, you must select one of these three options:
NetWare Directory and Bindery Services --
If both NDS and Bindery Services are installed on a given system, the Notes workstation tries both methods, switching when one fails. The Notes workstation tries an NDS lookup first. If the NDS lookup fails, it then tries a Bindery lookup. Bindery Services uses the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP).
NetWare Directory Services --n
This option is the NetWare 4.x method of resolving addresses and advertising services. Since NDS is a static database, services only update the database once. The information stored in the database is persistent. The implication is that a Domino server's NDS Object can always be found in the NDS Tree whether or not the server is currently running.

The ports dialog box contains additional options for configuring a NetBIOS port. To get to these configuration options, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - LAN0 Options, where LAN0 is the port name.d
There are two options in this dialog box for the workstation:e
Automatic setupi
Manual setup
The server supports only Manual setup.
If you select
Automatic setupd
, Notes configures the LAN
ports to use all available NetBIOS networks, starting with LAN0.r
If you select
Manual setup
you must enter a NetBIOS Unit/LANA number.
The NetBIOS Unit/LANA number is a logical number that represents a NetBIOS protocol stack on a single card or multiple cards.
For example, if two NetBIOS protocol stacks such as NetBEUI and Novell NetBIOS bind to the same NIC, NetBEUI uses Unit/LANA number 0 and Novell NetBIOS may use Unit/LANA number 1. If the same two protocol stacks bind to different cards, the Unit/LANA numbers stay at 0 and 1. The network operating system LAN configuration (PROTOCOL.INI on LAN Server, for example) resolves which protocol is bound to the physical card and the corresponding Unit/LANA number.
If you are using IBM LAN Requester on an OS/2 Warp server, the Notes NetBIOS port driver uses the Unit/LANA number to select a network from the [networks] section of IBMLAN.INI. Unit/LANA 0 is the first port listed, Unit/LANA 1 is the second port listed, and so on.
If you are using Novell NetBIOS and LAN Requester is not installed, use the Notes NetBIOS port driver, configured for Unit/LANA 0.
If you are using the IBMEENB port driver on an OS/2 Warp server and LAN Requester is not installed, the Unit/LANA number should match a logical adapter number configured in Multi-Protocol Transport Services (MPTS) or LAN Adapter and Protocol Suppor (LAPS).
On a Windows NT server, you can find the Unit/LANA number for a particular NetBIOS protocol by selecting the Network Control Panel, selecting NetBIOS Interface, and pressing the Configure button. The NT information appears in the Network Route list. Windows NT typically has multiple NetBIOS networks configured in the operating system. The most common NetBIOS networks on Windows NT systems are:
Name: NwlnkNbi
Protocol: Novell NetBIOS
Name: Nbf
Protocol: NetBEUI
Name: NetBT
Protocol: NetBIOS over TCP/IP (RFC 1001/1002)
Some protocols can be associated with multiple Unit numbers, one for each network card or dial-up network interface. For example, the Network Route entry Nbf->Elnk3 is NetBEUI on a 3Com Etherlink III card and Nbf->NdisWan5 is NetBEUI on a Microsoft Remote Access Services (RAS) connection.t

There are additional configuration options available for TCP/IP ports.
Connection timeout
There is a connection timeout field in the Ports dialog box. To get to this setting, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - TCP Options. To change this setting, replace the default of 5 seconds with the number of seconds you want for the timeout on the TCP/IP connections.
This timeout setting applies only to the first time a session is established with that Domino server. Once the session is established, the TCP connection timeout is no longer in effect.d
This setting is important when a Notes workstation is trying to establish a session with a Domino server, for example, when a user selects a database on a server. This timeout also applies between servers during replication. The calling server attempts to retain a connection for that period of time before issuing a console message that the operation did not complete within a reasonable period.
This timeout period tells Domino to terminate the attempt to establish a session, which ensures users that they do not have a prolonged wait while their workstation attempts to establish a session with a server. Increasing the timeout period may be useful on dial-up connections with RAS, PPP, or SLIP where the connection may take longer.p

The following list decribes optional protocol driver parameters you can specify in PROTOCOL.INI on the Domino server for OS/2 Warp. These optional parameters supplement the required parameters such as DriverName, Bindings, and PortType. Define each NIC that AppleTalk supports by entering valid parameters and values in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
For information on card parameters and values, see your network interface card documentation, or the sample PROTOCOL.INI file usually provided with the NDIS driver software that comes with the card.
AarpRetries
-- Specifies the number of retries that the AppleTalk address resolution protocol (AARP) uses to acquire a unique AppleTalk address. This parameter is useful on large networks where nodes have difficulty acquiring unique AppleTalk addresses. The AARP protocol reconciles addressing conflicts in networks with multiple sets of protocols. Valid values are 15 to 900; the default value is 15.

Specifies whether or not checksums are generated for transmitted packets. If present, checksums on received packets are always verified. Valid values are "yes" or "no"; the default is "no."
DdpChecksums =
value
Note
This parameter does not configure a Domino server for an AppleTalk network with one or more zones.
DefaultZone --
Specifies the AppleTalk zone in which the Domino server appears. Use this parameter if you do not want the Domino server to reside in the default zone on the connected AppleTalk network. The default zone is determined by a router on the AppleTalk network. By placing the DefaultZone= statement in the PROTOCOL.INI file, you allow the Domino server to appear in a different zone than determined by the router. A valid value for this parameter is the name of any AppleTalk zone present on the connected AppleTalk network.
DefaultZone =
zone name
For this feature to work, the zone must exist on the network -- that is, it must appear in the Chooser on a Macintosh workstation -- and must be accessible on the directly-connected network.
For example, the following PROTOCOL.INI file sets the default zone to Zone2.
[PROTMAN]
DRIVERNAME = PROTMAN$
[ELNKMC_NIF]
DRIVERNAME = ELNKMC$
MAXTRANSMITS = 40
SLOTNUMBER = 4
[ATALK2_XIF]
Bindings = ELNKMC_NIF
DriverName = ATALK$
PortType = EtherTalk
DefaultZone = "ZONE2"r
PortName --s
Allows you to set the registered AppleTalk name for Domino AppleTalk software. When the Domino AppleTalk driver software starts, it automatically registers PacerTalk as the default AppleTalk name on the network. This default name is not the Domino OS/2 server name, although you can use the Domino OS/2 server name as the port name. AppleTalk names can contain up to 16 characters. Invalid characters are the at sign (@), the colon (:), and the quotation mark ("). If the name contains a space or starts with a number, you must enclose it in quotation marks. The protocol software automatically adds a number to the end of the name to ensure that it is unique on the network. The default value is "PacerTalk." e
PortName = e
port name
RecvBufs --
Specifies the number of buffers AppleTalk uses to receive packets from the network. Each buffer uses 640 bytes of memory. Valid values are 8 to 20; the default value is 20. r
RecvBufs = n
valuet
Selectors --
Specifies the number of OS/2 global descriptor table (GDT) selectors that AppleTalk uses. Each configured selector uses one GDT entry and locks 64K of memory into physical memory, preventing it from being swapped out. Lowering this value conserves memory and lowers the number of Macintosh computers that the Domino server can support. Valid values are 4 to 100; the default value is 14.
Selectors =
value
XferBufs --
Specifies the number of buffers that the NDIS Receive LookAhead function uses when receiving a packet. Each buffer uses 640 bytes of memory. Set this parameter to a value equal to RecvBufs. Valid values are 8 to 20; the default value is 20. r
XferBufs = n
valueo
XmitBufs
-- Specifies the number of buffers that AppleTalk uses to transmit packets onto the network. Each buffer uses 640 bytes of memory. Valid values are 8 to 40; the default value is 20. /
XmitBufs = p
value
Note
For more detailed information on card parameters and values, see the documentation for your network interface card or the sample PROTOCOL.INI file that is usually provided with the NDIS driver software accompanying the network interface card.

If your SPX Services offer the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), you can connect to Domino servers and Notes workstations through the PPP remote network connection. You can use PPP to connect two LANs with modems, and to gain access to multiple Domino servers simultaneously using SPX/SPXII. You must establish the PPP remote connection outside of Domino-supported protocols. PPP redirects the IPX/SPX traffic to the appropriate port.r
Both LAN and WAN traffic may be accomplished using one SPX port.
Domino servers and the Notes workstations running on Windows 95 or Windows NT can also be configured to use Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS) over PPP to connect to Domino servers on remote LANs. The Domino server lets you create a Connection document to dial the RAS server automatically.t
For more information on remote LAN service, see Chapter 4 in
Getting Started with Domino.

For remote connections -- that is, those involving the use of a modem -- between Notes workstations and Domino servers, you can use X.25, X.PC, or Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS) over TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or NetBIOS.
If your TCP/IP stack offers the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), you can use IP dial-up. Two common scenarios with IP dial-up are LAN-based and host-based. In the LAN-based scenario, a Notes workstation or Domino server connects to an access point on a remote LAN and thereby gains access to IP resources on that remote LAN. This scenario allows a Domino server or Notes workstation to have access to multiple IP-based Domino servers and hosts through a single connection. In the host-based scenario, a Notes workstation connects directly to a host through a single connection. In either scenario, you can establish the SLIP or PPP remote connection outside of Domino or you can configure Domino to do this. You can also use any stack-specific Dial on Demand features that would be triggered by connection requests to the stack. For more information on how to do this, refer to the TCP/IP vendor documentation. In all these scenarios, Domino assumes that a LAN-based IP connection exists. Both LAN and WAN traffic may be accomplished using one TCP/IP port in Domino.
Although you can use X.PC, X.25, SLIP or PPP to connect Domino servers to other Domino servers, these three drivers cannot listen on the same communications port on a Domino server.
Domino on Windows 95 or Windows NT can also be configured to use RAS or AppleTalk Remote Access to connect to Domino servers on remote LANs.

The AppleTalk software for the Domino Server for NetWare provides an AppleTalk API to connect Macintosh computers to Domino servers that support the AppleTalk protocol.
AppleTalk can coexist on the Domino Server for NetWare with either TCP/IP or Novell NetWare SPX protocols.
The following are NetWare-specific requirements for running Domino and AppleTalk:o
A PC that is running Novell NetWare 4.11 or 3.12 on the same Ethernet or Token Ring network as the Macintosh computers that are using Domino or that is connected to the Macintosh computers through AppleTalk routers. You cannot run Novell NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 and Novell NetWare 4.11 on the same server.
An ODI-compliant network card and the appropriate driver software for the NIC.
Domino Server CD-ROM.

AppleTalk software provides an OS/2 Warp protocol stack and an AppleTalk application program interface (API) which allow the Domino to communicate with Notes Macintosh workstations.o
AppleTalk can coexist on a Domino server with other supported network protocols, such as NetBIOS, Banyan VINES, TCP/IP, and Novell NetWare SPX. To connect a Domino server with Notes Macintosh workstations as well as other Domino server platforms that do not support AppleTalk protocols, such as Windows and UNIX, you must install a separate network, such as Novell NetWare, and the appropriate protocol driver software supplied with Domino software.e
If you are installing AppleTalk within a network operating system that supports the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) standard, you may be able to use some of your existing hardware and software. The following AppleTalk-specific requirements you need are:
A PC running OS/2 Warp Version 3 that is on the same Ethernet or Token Ring network as the Macintosh computers that are using Domino, or that is connected to the Macintosh computers through AppleTalk routers.
An NDIS-compliant network card and NDIS card driver software for the network card. This software is sometimes called an NDIS media access control (MAC) driver.
Domino server CD-ROM, containing the following AppleTalk files:
ATALK2V2.OS2 --
The AppleTalk protocol drivers for OS/2 Warp that communicate with a specified network interface card.
ATALKINI.EXE --
A daemon program for the AppleTalk protocol driver.
ATALK.DLL --
The AppleTalk application program interface (API) used by Domino.l
ATK.MSG --
The warning and error messages used by the AppleTalk protocol driver, daemon program, and dynamic link library (DLL).
TPAUSE.EXE --
A delay program used by the STARTUP.CMD file for some configurations to allow time for the NDIS-compliant protocol driver and NDIS card drivers to bind.
The following files are necessary only if you need to use the Protocol Manager that comes with Domino. If you are using an operating system that includes protocol manager software -- for example, Warp Version 3.0 or later, IBM LAN Server, or IBM LAN Requester -- you do not have to install the Domino Protocol Manager.
NETBIND.EXE --
A program that causes the protocol manager driver to bind the NDIS-compliant network protocol drivers to the NDIS network card drivers. The card drivers must be bound before applications can use the network protocols.
PROTMAN.OS2 --
The protocol manager driver that associates the NDIS-compliant network protocol drivers with the NDIS card drivers.
PRO.MSG
-- A file that contains status and error messages reported by the protocol manager.
PROH.MSG --
A file that contains detailed information about protocol manager errors. For additional information on an error, type HELP PROF
xxxx
at the server console, where
xxxx
is the error number that the protocol manager displays.
Network interface cards
To run AppleTalk on a Domino server, you must first install NDIS-compliant Ethernet and Token Ring network interface cards and any appropriate network drivers on the Domino server. Drivers for NDIS cards are available from most network card manufacturers, from bulletin board or information systems, or as part of the LAN Manager network operating system.
To enable AppleTalk users to communicate with a Domino server on another type of network, you use an AppleTalk router to connect the Domino server to the Ethernet or Token Ring network that contains the other server.
The following table lists the NDIS-compliant cards that have been tested with Domino.

About Notes workstation and NetWare Windows .DLL files
To run NetWare on Notes workstations using SPX, the correct Windows DLLs must be present.
There are three versions of NetWare Windows .DLL files:
NetWare C Interface for Windows (before Version 1.3)
NetWare C Interface for Windows, Version 1.3 or laterU
NetWare Client SDK, Version 1.0 or later. (The NetWare Client SDK replaces the NetWare C Interface for Windows.)
This release is compatible with the NetWare Client SDK Versions of the NetWare Windows DLL.
You can have the Install program copy the necessary DLLs to the Notes workstation, checking file versions so only the latest versions are installed. The SPX port driver (NWSPX) detects which DLLs are present, and loads the appropriate ones.
The Notes workstation copies and uses the following DLLs:b
NWCALLS.DLL
NWIPXSPX.DLL
NWNET.DLL (for NDS support)
NWLOCALE.DLL (for NDS support)
Network requirements for the Notes workstation and SPX on Windows
LAN connection
-- Ethernet or Token Ring NIC and device driver software compliant with Novell Open Datalink (ODI) or NDIS specifications.
Network software (workstationS
-- NetWare workstation software using SPX protocols for connecting to a OS/2 Warp, NetWare NLM, Windows NT, or UNIX server. Use the Novell DOS Requester. Do not use the Microsoft NwLink protocol stack.
Notes workstations currently support Windows Enhanced mode using the SPX driver. (The SPX driver does not support Windows Standard mode.)
For more information on network operating system requirements, see the Release Notes.

The Domino server for Windows NT automatically detects which NetWare Services are installed. This occurs once the SPX port driver is enabled.t
You can run the Notes workstation for Windows NT on SPX without performing any additional SPX or NT configuration. All you need to do is enable the SPX port.
For the Domino server, you must configure SPX using the NetWare services used by a server.
This release of Domino supports the following Windows NT SPX protocol stacks:
Microsoft NwLink IPX/SPX/SPXII with Bindery Services support
Novell NetWare Requester with Bindery Services support and NDS support
When using the above protocol stacks, make sure the following services are installed and running:
Microsoft NwLink and Windows NT Workstation
-- Client Services for NetWare
-- NwLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport
-- SAP Agent
Microsoft NwLink and Windows NT Advanced Server
-- Gateway Services for NetWare
-- NwLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport
-- SAP Agent
Novell Requester for Windows NT and Windows NT Workstation
-- Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT
-- Novell NetWare IPX/SPX Transportt
Novell Requester for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server
-- Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT
-- Novell NetWare IPX/SPX Transporte
Novell NetWare Client Services
Novell NetWare IPX/SPX Transport
Windows NT provides the support for SPX via the Winsock (WSOCK32.DLL). The SPX port driver uses WSOCK32.DLL for IPX/SPX/SPXII. WSOCK32.DLL comes with Windows NT.
The following DLLs are used by the Novell Requester for NetWare and NDS Services:s
CALLWIN32.DLLN
NETWIN32.DLL
LOCWIN32.DLL
For information on network operating system requirements, see the Release Notes.
Remote LAN capability for Windows NT
Support for Microsoft RAS and remote LAN capability is available for Domino servers and Notes workstations for Windows NT and the SPX protocol.
For information on setting up your Domino server or Notes workstation for NT for remote LAN capability, see Chapter 4 in E

Domino and the Notes workstation are certified to run with Banyan VINES on OS/2 Warp. The Domino server running VINES supports more than 50 sessions.
The two files VNSAPI32.DLL and VNSAPI16.DLL are required in addition to the Banyan OS/2 Requester. Copy these files to the Banyan OS/2 Requester files location. Domino also requires the following files: BANCOMM2.SYS, VINES.IFS, VINES2.IFS, NDISBAN.SYS, NDISBAN2.SYS.
By default, VINES allows 50 outstanding received packets per socket at one time. If you are running Domino on OS/2 Warp, you may have to increase the value of the MAX_IO_REQUESTS parameter. To modify this parameter, add the switch to the bancomm statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. The minimum value is 1; the maximum value is 65536. If you enter an invalid value, Domino defaults to 50.
Use the lowest value possible. In most instances, a value of 150 is satisfactory. If you still encounter errors after increasing the value to 150, decrease the value and test the performance again.

Domino includes two NetBIOS network drivers for OS/2 Warp. NETBIOS.DLL is the NetBIOS driver for LAN Server systems. Domino is certified for the LAN Server network software, allowing you to connect Domino servers and Notes workstations on LAN Server networks across various hardware and software platforms.
The IBM Extended Edition NetBIOS network driver, IBMEENB.DLL, is an alternate NetBIOS driver for OS/2 Warp systems that do not have LAN Server installed. The IBMEENB driver runs on OS/2 Warp Domino servers and Notes workstations.i
Running Domino with IBMEENB.DLL:
Supports communications between an OS/2 Warp Notes server or workstation running IBMEENB and any Domino server or Notes workstation running the standard NETBIOS.DLL network driver on an IBM/Microsoft compatible NetBIOS (NetBEUI) network.
Allows IBMEENB users the option of not running LAN Server.
Use the IBMEENB.DLL network driver only if you are an advanced network administrator. A thorough understanding of NetBIOS resource allocation by MPTS, LAN Requester and LAN Server (if installed), and all NetBIOS applications is required to configure NetBIOS resources correctly. You typically need to change the configuration in these products to set up a Domino server to support several users.
Note
IBM Network Transport Services/2 (NTS/2) LAPS or MPTS LAPS is all that is required to run in this environment. NTS/2 LAPS is available as a separate software package from IBM. MPTS LAPS is shipped with LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Connect.
System requirements for Domino and LAN Server
The Domino and LAN Server environment must meet the hardware and software requirements that are outlined in the Release Notes. You must have OS/2 Warp Version 3 or later.
You must also have one of the following network software packages from IBM:
LAN Server 3.0 (shipped with NTS/2)
LAN Server 4.0 (shipped with MPTS)
NTS/2 LAPS
MPTS (shipped with LAN Server 4.0, OS/2 Warp Connect, OS/2 Warp)

The SPXII protocol supports Windowing, Large Packets, and Orderly Release, which can provide increased performance over SPX.
Note
Not all platforms support SPXII.
SPXII provides the following features:
Backward compatibility with SPX
Protocol negotiation. If both endpoints support SPXII, then SPXII becomes the negotiated endpoint. If one endpoint only supports SPXII and the other supports SPX, then SPX becomes the negotiated protocol between endpoints
The following Domino servers and Notes workstations can run on SPXII:
Windows NT server using Microsoft's NWLink IPX/SPX stack
UNIX (HP-UX 10.01, AIX 4.1.4 and 4.2, and Solaris 2.5) using NetWare, IBM AIX Connections, and Solaris PC Protocol Services

Creating server nameso
To set up a Domino server running TCP/IP, you can either name the server using its host IP name -- for example, marketing.lotus.com -- or modify the network address field in Server and Connection documents.
If you name a Domino server using its host IP name, users and servers who are not in the Domino named network or domain of the Domino server can establish a connection with the server without creating or modifying Server and Connection documents. The DNS resolves Domino server names that have their IP names as the common name component, which enables the Domino servers and Notes workstations to establish a connection to the server quickly.
When establishing a connection from a workstation, users must specify at least the entire common name. For example, when users try to open a database on a server named marketing.lotus.com, they must enter the entire common name marketing.lotus in the File - Database - Open dialog box.l
If a Domino server does not use its host IP name as the common name component of the server name, you must modify Server and Connection documents so the Domino server and Notes workstation can determine the network address of a given server.
Use Server documents when the two nodes are in the same Domino named network and use Connection documents when the two nodes are in different Domino named networks or domains. The Connection documents must be stored locally even if the user's home server contains Connection documents that specify the network address of the target server. The Server documents, however, can be stored in the Public Address Book on the user's home server.
Both the Server and Connection documents contain a network address field with the TCP/IP address format the Domino server and Notes workstation uses when connecting to the target server. For example, for a server named "DominoServerOne/Headquarters," the following formats may be used to specify the address:
IP address format: 193.94.222.65
The fully qualified TCP/IP domain name format: "DominoServerOne.acmecorp1.com"
The host name format: "DominoServerOne"
The third format is not recommended when more than one DNS domain is configured in a network and the TCP/IP stack is unable to query multiple DNS domains.
Segmenting the network into logical Domino networks is suggested.
The number of Connection documents required can be very large when any of the following are true:
Configuring more than one Domino network.
The DNS is unable to resolve all addresses across all Domino networks.
It is necessary for each workstation in every network to be able to communicate with every server in every other network.k
If the DNS service cannot resolve all addresses across all Domino networks, we recommend that you use only one Domino network for all TCP/IP Domino servers. Using one Domino network makes it easier to maintain Connection documents in the workstation's Personal Address book. Note that there are practical limits to how many servers can be put into a single "Domino" network. Domino networks that include Notes Release 4 or 4.1 servers should not contain more than 500 servers in the named network. Additionally, if Notes Release 3.x servers are also in the Domino network, there should not be more than 150 servers in that network. Named networks that include only Release 4.5 servers or later can include thousands of servers, although, there is a limit to the number of servers Domino can display in a dialog box -- for example, the Open Database dialog box.
Determining whether the DNS service can resolve all server addresses
Domino tries to find a server's address using Server and Connection documents in the Public Address Book using the common name component. Then, the DNS looks up the name and tries to resolve the address.
If a company has two DNS domains, for example acmecorp1.com and acmecorp2.com, when attempting to connect to servers, Domino queries the TCP/IP stack to resolve the host name to an IP address. The stack may not be able to determine which domain to query. If the host name is not in the TCP/IP stacks configured default domain, then whether the stack is able to resolve the address of the server depends on whether the stack can be configured to query multiple domains or whether the proper IP address or alias exists in the local host's file. The underlying TCP/IP stack may attempt to append the default domain name to the common name ("ServerOne.acmecorp1.com") and be unable to map it to an IP address. This is possible if the network has more than one DNS domain and if the TCP stack is unable to query multiple TCP/IP domains. Note that not all TCP/IP stacks have the ability to query multiple DNS domains. The system administrator must consider the possibilities carefully.
The TCP/IP vendor's ping.exe program is an invaluable tool. Use it to verify whether the DNS is able to map a Domino server's common name to an IP address. The rule is: if ping.exe can resolve the common name of a Domino server, then Notes workstations can also establish a connection to the server. Conversely, if ping.exe is unable to resolve the common name to an IP address, the system is not configured properly.E
Recommended configurations
In view of the above discussion, a selection from one of the following template configurations for TCP/IP networking is recommended:
Name/rename each server with its host IP name
-- The advantage is that users in other Domino networks and domains can access the server quickly without needing to know the server's fully qualified domain name. The disadvantage is that you must rename Domino servers, which can be time consuming.
Use only one DNS Domain
-- The advantage is that TCP/IP name resolution succeeds, making connections easier within the network. The disadvantage is that it forces centralized network administration, which can restrict access for some administrators.
Use only one Domino named network
-- The advantage is that Server documents in the Public Address Book make it easier to administer the Domino server. The disadvantage is that the Domino server list displays some remote servers and some users may use the remote servers instead of local ones, resulting in increased WAN traffic and expense.p
Use host files on every system for name resolution instead of a
DNSe
-- The advantage is that TCP/IP name resolution succeeds if you keep the host file up to date. The disadvantage is the manual reconfiguring of the Domino system each time an addition, deletion, or change is needed to the TCP/IP network.e
Modify the DNS Resolver on every system to query all of the other DNS Domainsl
-- The advantage is that TCP/IP name resolution succeeds, assuming resolver configuration is correct. The disadvantage is that you must manually reconfigure the system each time the DNS environment changes. Additionally, the TCP/IP stack may not have the ability to query multiple domains.
Use Location documents in the Personal Address book -- w
Create multiple locations defining mail servers and secondary name servers.
Use
local area network connection documents in the Personal or Public Address book
-- Create local area network connection documents defining the network address.

There are two types of NetWare services supported by Domino:
Bindery Services
-- Network services use the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) to update the NetWare network database, called the Bindery. Domino servers and Notes workstations use Bindery Services to look up a remote service and retrieve its network address. Domino servers use Bindery Services to advertise their services on the network. NetWare 3.x relies only on Bindery Services. A Domino server uses a Bindery Service Object ID of 0x039B.o
NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
-- Based on X.500 directory service. Services can use NDS almost the same way they use Bindery. Domino servers and Notes workstations use NDS to look up a remote service and retrieve its network address. Domino servers use NDS to advertise their services on the network. The SPX port driver is the only port driver that supports NDS. To integrate your Domino servers and Notes workstations with NDS, you should use the SPX port driver.
The following Domino servers and Notes workstations use Bindery Services:x
OS/2 Novell NetWare Requester workstation and server
NetWare 3.12 & NetWare 4.1 server only
Windows 3.x using Novell NetWare Client workstationr
Windows 95 Novell NetWare server and Client workstation
Windows 95 Microsoft NetWare server and Client workstation o
Windows NT Novell NetWare server and Client workstatione
Windows NT Microsoft NetWare server and Client workstation
UNIX (HP-UX, AIX 4.1.4 and 4.2, and Solaris 2.5) server and workstationn
In this release, the SPX port driver can use Bindery Services and NDS. Domino Servers use NDS to advertise their services on the network. Notes workstations and Domino servers use NDS to look for these services on the network and to determine the Network Address for a given service.r
The following Domino servers and Notes workstations can use NDS:
OS/2 Novell NetWare Requester workstation and server
NetWare 4.1 server
Windows using Novell NetWare Client workstationd
Windows 95 Novell NetWare Client workstation and server

You can set up Domino servers and Notes workstations with one or more network protocols. Adding a protocol to your Domino system usually requires installing additional software, editing system files, and possibly adding NICs to the Domino server.
The simpler the network configuration, the easier network and system administration is. Also, the fewer protocols installed on a Domino system, the lower the network traffic and load. Each installed protocol occupies an amount of bandwidth on the network, so the fewer protocols installed, the less occupied bandwidth.

Domino servers and Notes workstations can use multiple LAN ports to support more than one network protocol. The NetWare SPX port driver can coexist on a system with other port drivers: NetBIOS, ATALK (AppleTalk), Banyan VINES, TCP, and so on. A server configured with SPX and NetBIOS ports can serve clients using either, and a client configured with both ports can reach servers running either.t

VINES
PC-based service name
-- The name of the PC-based service, in the StreetTalk syntax Item@Group@Organization. The item part of this name must be the same as the server name. This field appears on the server when you issue a Show Port command at the server console.
Current VINES user
-- StreetTalk name of the ID logged in for this Domino server.t
Name server broadcasts
-- Requests from a Domino server or Notes workstation, sent when the server fails to find the user home server.
Maximum hops
-- The number of hops a broadcast can make before failing from 0 to 15; the default is 2. Values over 2 are not recommended because they may result in slower performance or generate duplicate broadcast messages.
Maximum cost
-- The maximum cost this broadcast is allowed to make:y
All
-- Server forwards the broadcast on all VINES media, regardless of cost.n
Medd
-- Server forwards the broadcast on all VINES media, except those such as X.25 that impose a packet charge.
-- Server forwards the broadcast on all VINES media except X.25, block async, or HDLC that have a line speed less than or equal to 4800 bps.)
Free
-- Server forwards the broadcast on all VINES media with a cost less than 30.
Server search group
-- StreetTalk group used by Notes workstations to locate Domino servers. The default is Lotus Notes. Can be changed by using the NOTES.INI setting VinesServerGroup=group or group@org.

Before you install Domino servers and Notes workstations on a VINES network, perform the following tasks at the VINES server.u
Create a PC-based VINES service for the Domino server
This creates a StreetTalk name for each Domino server and makes it accessible throughout the VINES network to servers and workstations.
1. Do one of the following:
For OS/2 Warp, at the command prompt, type
mservice
For Windows NT and Windows 3.1, choose File - Run
z:\mservice
For Windows 95, choose Start - Run t
z:\mservice
2. Choose Add a PC-based service.
3. Enter a name using the VINES syntax item@group@organization. Create the PC-based service name to mimic the hierarchical name of the Domino server. For example, if the Domino server name is Excalibur/Servers/Acme, specify Excalibur@Servers@Acme as the PC-based VINES service name.
Create a VINES user ID for the Domino server
This creates a VINES User ID you use to log into VINES from the Domino server.
Do one of the following:
At the OS/2 Warp command prompt, type
museru
For Windows NT and Windows 3.1, select File - Run z:\muser
For Windows 95, select Start - Run z:\muser, and then select Add a User
This name must be on the Adminlist for that group@org in which the PC-based service is created. This means that the user account under which the Domino server runs must have enough privileges to be able to administer the server.
This ID does not need to have a name in common with the Domino server. The administrator does not have to be in the same group@org as the PC-based service, but just needs to have enough privileges to administer the server.
For example:
Excalibur Login@Servers@Acme
Create a default VINES group name for Domino
This is an optional step you can do as a VINES administrator to prepare for installing Domino servers and Notes workstations. If you do not create a default VINES group, Domino assigns the group name "Lotus Notes" by default. To set this parameter in the NOTES.INI file, use the Set Config command at the Domino server console.
Set Config VinesServerGroup=
group@org
To create this group all of the following must be true:
The VINES network does not have an STDA service.
Domino servers do not have hierarchical names, or if they do, the names do not mimic the VINES PC-based server names.
The client or server accessing the Domino server is not in the same group@org as the PC-based service.
For example:
User VINES StreetTalk name = Jill User@Admin@Corp
Domino server's PC-based service name = Excalibur@Servers@Acme
For OS/2 Warp, at the command prompt type
mgroup
For Windows NT and Windows 3.1, select File - Run
z:\mgroup
For Windows 95, select Start - Run
z:\mgroup
select Add a Group
Creating a nickname for the PC-based service in group "Lotus Notes"
This is an optional step you can do as a VINES administrator to prepare for installing Domino servers and Notes workstations. This allows users to access the Domino server, even though STDA has not updated itself with the new PC-based service.
You may want to create this nickname if some of the following are true:
The VINES network does not have an STDA service.
Domino servers do not have hierarchical names, or if they do, the names do not mimic the VINES PC-based server names.
The workstation or server accessing the Domino server is not in the same group@org as the PC-based service.
For example:
User VINES StreetTalk name = Jill User@Admin@Corp
Domino server's PC-based service name = Excalibur@Servers@Acme
1. For OS/2 Warp, at the command prompt, type
mnick
For Windows NT and Windows 3.1, select File - Run
z:\mnick
For Windows 95, select Start - Run
z:\mnick
2. Select Add a Nickname. This allows a Domino server to be accessed outside of the group in which it exists by that name and be accessible when STDA is not available or has not been updated.

Here is an overview of the general procedure for adding a protocol to a Domino server or Notes workstation.
1. Install an additional network interface card, if necessary.
2. Copy all the network files, including the protocol driver and protocol manager files, for the new protocol into a directory on the Domino server or Notes workstation. You may need to create a directory for these files, depending on the requirements for a given protocol.
3. Install the protocol manager software on the Domino server or Notes workstation, if necessary.
4. Install the protocol driver software on the Domino server or Notes workstation, if necessary.
5. Restart the Domino server or Notes workstation to load the new protocol files.
6. On a Domino server, enable the network port for the new protocol by choosing File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports, then launch the server. On a Notes workstation, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports to enable the network port for the new protocol.
7. Add the new network name to the server document in the Public Address Book.
8. Restart the Domino server.s

Lotus
Domino
is a workgroup application that allows people to share information using networks. Domino servers and Lotus Notes
workstations can communicate over local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). This guide provides information about running Domino on LANs.
Domino has networking services that support:
Sessions between and Domino servers and Notese
workstations sessions between two Domino servers
A fall-back method for getting a list of Domino server names, which Domino usually gets from the user's mail server
Data and failover capabilities on Domino servers configured as clustersa
This chapter provides information on concepts relevant to Domino and LANs. You should be familiar with the Domino system and network administration. This book provides information on these topics from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.

Checking the status of a network port provides you with statistics about network sessions, services, and packets. This information is useful when you need to see if a port has been working correctly or when you need to trace a particular connection to a Domino server or Notes workstation.
For a Domino server
Use the command Show Port
portname
at the Domino server console.
For a Notes workstation
Choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - Show Status.
If you try to display the status of a port that is not enabled, the message "No port info available" appears.

1. Make sure you created the appropriate directories, edited the CONFIG.SYS file, edited the STARTUP.CMD file and created the PROTOCOL.INI file on the Domino OS/2 Warp server.
2. Open the error file in a text editor: LANMAN.INI for Microsoft LAN Manager and DEC PATHWORKS; and IBMLAN.INI for IBM Extended Edition, LAN Server, or LAN Requester.
3. Enter the following lines in the file:v
[AppleTalk]
WarningFreq =
value
ErrorFreq =
value
where
value
is a number between 1 and 16535
4. Now follow the steps in the procedure "Recording changes on the Domino server."
WarningFreq
and
ErrorFreq
control the frequency with which warnings and errors are logged. Each different message is logged only as often as the WarningFreq or ErrorFreq value. For example, if ErrorFreq is 5, an error that occurs 12 times is logged on the 1st, 6th, and 11th occurrences. If six different errors each occur once, all are logged. Not logging every occurrence of an error can prevent the error log from filling up with repeated messages. Set these parameters to 1 when troubleshooting, and to a higher value for normal operation.
Even during normal operation, the AppleTalk stack may log some warning and error messages. For example, if a router on the network is misconfigured for a while, the WARP AppleTalk stack may log error messages to indicate conflicting information on the network, even though the operation of the AppleTalk stack continues unaffected. As another example, the protocol stack may drop some packets during a peak load. The AppleTalk protocols usually recover from such a situation without the application even noticing, and the resulting warning or error messages that are logged do not indicate a real problem.t
The default is to log every 10th warning and every 10th error.

A Domino server can support a network protocol on each port. To set up another network protocol, you must add a Domino network name to the Notes Network field of the Server document in the Public Address Book so the protocol functions properly on the network and provides access for each type of network client simultaneously.
To finish the multiple protocol procedure that was started in "About setting up Domino with Novell NetBIOS, SPX, and IBM LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Connect" and continued in "Installing and configuring the IBM LAPS (NTS/2 or MPTS) utility," perform the following steps. It is assumed that Domino was installed and set up by pulling the Name and Address Book for a server and creating a Name and Address Book for the workstation via the SPX port.
To set up the NetBEUI port for a Domino server, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports from a workstation. Select the LAN0 port, select LAN0 options, type 0 for the Unit/LANA number, select OK, and enable the port.
To set up the Novell NetBIOS port for a Domino server, select new, type LAN1 for the port name, select NetBIOS for the network driver, select OK, select LAN1 options, type 1 for the Unit/LANA number, select OK, enable the port, select OK, and bring up the Domino server. NetBEUI listens on port LAN0, Novell NetBIOS listens on port LAN1, and Novell SPX listens on port SPX.
To set up the NetBEUI port for a Notes workstation, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports from a workstation. Select the LAN0 port, select LAN0 options, select Automatic setup, select OK, enable the port, and select OK.
To set up the Novell NetBIOS port for a Notes workstation, no action is required. Once the LAN0 port is enabled on the workstation, the NetBIOS network driver recognizes that there is more than one NetBIOS protocol stack bound to the same physical network adapter. The network driver automatically tries all the NetBIOS protocol stacks if necessary when using that port. Therefore, NetBEUI and Novell NetBIOS are used with only one port. The Notes workstation can be configured with manual port setup. This requires that the port be set up using the same method as the Domino server.
The NetBIOS network driver allows the Notes workstation to use Automatic or Manual setup. This makes setup easier for the Notes workstation when multiple NetBIOS protocol stacks are loaded. Domino servers require only Manual setup and must use one network port for each NetBIOS protocol stack.

1. Create a directory on the Domino server for AppleTalk files. You can use any name for this directory.
2. Use the XCOPY command to copy all the files from the ATALK directory on the Domino server program CD-ROM into the AppleTalk directory. The files on the CD-ROM are read-only. Using the XCOPY command changes these files to read-write so they can be used for Domino.
3. If you are using the Protocol Manager, do the following on the Domino server:
Install an NDIS-compliant network interface card.
Create a directory for the NDIS driver files.2
Copy the NDIS driver files to the directory.
4. Now follow the steps in the procedure "Editing the OS/2 Warp CONFIG.SYS file for AppleTalk."e

The Location document in the Personal Address Book contains a field where you can enter a server name as the NDS secondary home server. This is the server that the Notes workstation uses when a user's mail server or home server is down. Enter the Domino server name and the fully qualified NDS name of the Domino server that you want to use as the NDS secondary name server. For example, the location document shows the Secondary NDS name server address as CN=ServerA.OU=Sales.O=ACME.
If you are using Bindery Services and NDS services, it is recommended that the NDS secondary server not be specified. If you use both Bindery and NDS services, the Notes workstation uses Bindery Services to locate a secondary name server.

When you set up Domino on OS/2 Warp to use the Domino NetBIOS network driver, you need to add parameters to the NET.CFG file to properly allocate resources. If this file does not exist on the server, create it in the root directory.
Add these lines to the NET.CFG file:
NetWare NetBIOS
sessions 64
commands 96
Sessions
sets the maximum number of NetBIOS sessions the OS/2 Requester supports. You must increase this parameter to allow multiple user access to the Domino server. The default is 32.f
Commands
sets the number of NetBIOS commands the OS/2 Requester stores while waiting for previous commands to execute. This must also be increased to handle heavy Domino traffic. The default is 12.
Without these changes to the parameters, the Domino server hangs when the default settings are exceeded and existing sessions are frozen until you restart the system. For more information on the OS/2 Requester and NetBIOS, see the Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2 manual.

To set up the AppleTalk driver on a Domino server for OS/2 Warp, you must edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the server.
1. Make sure you created the appropriate directories on the server.
2. Make a back-up copy of the existing CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Open the CONFIG.SYS file in a text editor.
4. Edit the DPATH statement to include the directory that contains the file ATK.MSG.
5. Edit the LIBPATH statement to include the directory containing the ATALK.DLL file.
6. If you are using the Protocol Manager, do the following:
Add the directory containing PRO.MSG and PROH.MSG to the DPATH statement.
Add two DEVICE statements that identify the Protocol Manager file (PROTMAN.OS2) and the network interface card driver.
7. Add a DEVICE statement to install the AppleTalk driver (ATALK2V2.OS2). If you are using the Protocol Manager, this statement must follow the statement for PROTMAN.OS2.
8. Add a RUN statement that starts the AppleTalk driver (ATALKINI.EXE).r
9. Save the file.T
10. Follow the steps in the procedure "Editing the Warp STARTUP.CMD file for AppleTalk."a
Example CONFIG.SYS files
rem network card driver
DEVICE=c:\atalk\atalk2v2.os2
RUN=c:\atalk\atalkini.exe
where c:\atalk is the AppleTalk driver directory and atalk2v2.os2 is the AppleTalk driver.
If you are using the Protocol Manager, your edited CONFIG.SYS file may look like this:
rem Notes Protocol Manager, network card driver
DEVICE=c:\protman\protman.os2 /i:c:\atalk
DEVICE=c:\ndisdriv\elnkii.os24
rem network card driver
DEVICE=c:\atalk\atalk2v2.os2
RUN = c:\atalk\atalkini.exe
where c:\protman is the Protocol Manager directory, protman.os2 is the Protocol Manager file, /i is the location of the PROTOCOL.INI file that you will create later in the AppleTalk directory, c:\ndisdriv is the network card driver directory, elnkii.os2 is the NDIS driver for the 3Com Ethernet 3C503 card, c:\atalk is the AppleTalk driver directory, and atalk2v2.os2 is the AppleTalk driver. Make sure you enter a space before the /i parameter.

To set up the AppleTalk driver on a Domino server for OS/2 Warp, you must edit the STARTUP.CMD file on the Domino server.
1. Make sure you created the appropriate directories and edited the CONFIG.SYS file on the server.
2. Open STARTUP.CMD in a text editor.e
3. If you are using the Protocol Manager, add a line to the STARTUP.CMD file that binds the AppleTalk Protocol Manager to the NDIS card driver, for example
C:\ATALK\NETBIND.EXE
4. Add a line to the STARTUP.CMD file that specifies the number of seconds that AppleTalk has to initialize. Forty-five seconds is recommended.
C:\ATALK\TPAUSE.EXE 45I
5. Follow the steps in the procedure "Creating the OS/2 Warp PROTOCOL.INI file for AppleTalk."

This example shows how to configure the AppleTalk driver for a 3Com EtherLink II card. The example uses Microsoft section names, including the convention of ending card section names with "_NIF" and protocol section names with "_XIF."
[ATALK_XIF]
DriverName = ATALK$
Bindings = ELNKII_NIF
PortType = EtherTalk
where:
DriverName --
Identifies the card driver file name excluding the extension, followed by a dollar sign ($). e
Bindings --
The section name of the network card that AppleTalk uses.
PortType --
Identifies the type of port. In this case, it is either EtherTalk (AppleTalk on Ethernet) or TokenTalk (AppleTalk on Token Ring).
If you are using the Protocol Manager, you also need to create a section for your network card. The following example shows the additional lines needed to configure a 3Com EtherLink II network card.
[ELNKII_NIF]
DriverName = ELNKII$
Interrupt = 3
IOAddress = 0x300
where:
DriverName
-- Identifies the card driver file name excluding the extension, followed by a dollar sign ($). You entered the card driver file name in your CONFIG.SYS file when you installed the network interface card.
Interrupte
-- The interrupt specified for the card.
IOAddressr
-- The hexadecimal value for the card's input/output address.

In these examples, Domino user Montana Rose@Marketing@Acme is logged onto the VINES network and is trying to connect to various Domino servers. The default search group is Lotus Notes.
Searching in the Notes workstation's group@org
If the Notes PC-based service or a nickname pointing to the PC-based service is in the workstation's group, then StreetTalk resolves the full name and returns the server's network address.
For example: PC-based service in the users group:9
Notes User = Montana Rose@Marketing@Acme
VINES PC-based service = Server1@Marketing@Acme
Nickname in the users group
Notes User = Montana Rose@Marketing@Acme
VINES nickname Server1@Marketing@Acme (that refers to Server1@Another Group@Acme)k
VINES PC-based service = Server1@Another Group@Acme
Searching by the Notes hierarchical name
If the server name and the Notes user name are both hierarchical with at least three parts, then Domino uses the Notes user name as a template for guessing how to map the server name to a three-part VINES name using these rules:
1. IF the server's hierarchical name has three parts, use the server's common name (CN) @Highest OU (organizational unit) @O (organization name)H
2. ELSE IF the Notes user's hierarchical name has three parts, use server's CN @ Highest OU @ O
3. ELSE IF the Notes user's O matches the user's VINES Org, use server's CN @ Highest OU @ O
4. ELSE IF the Notes user's highest OU matches the user's VINES Org, use server's CN @ Second highest OU @ Highest OUS
5. ELSE IF the Notes user's lowest OU matches the VINES Group, use server's CN @ Lowest OU @ Second to lowest OU
6. ELSE don't try to map.d
Example:
Given: Domino Server name ID = Server1/Marketing/Acme
Domino constructs the VINES PC-based service name: Server1@Marketing@Acmet
Once the VINES port driver has constructed a three-part StreetTalk name from the Domino server's hierarchical name, it uses StreetTalk to verify that VINES address. If this fails, the VINES port driver immediately searches the StreetTalk Directory Assistance.m
Searching StreetTalk Directory Assistance (STDA)
The Domino server's PC-based service is listed in STDA. Server1 does not have to be in the user's group.
For example:
Single match found in STDA: STDA lists PC-based service Server1@Finance@Acme.S
Multiple matches found in STDA: STDA lists PC-based service Server1@Finance@Acme and PC-based service Server1@Purchasing@Acme.
When there are multiple matches, the VINES port driver refines the search to eliminate services whose StreetTalk description field does not start with "Lotus Notes". If there are still multiple matches, the driver returns an error.r
Searching in the default group "Lotus Notes"
Domino creates a three-part name of the form "Notes Servername@Lotus Notes@Organization Name," where "Lotus Notes" is the default group.
For example:
PC-based service in the group "Lotus Notes":
Notes User = Montana Rose@Marketing@Acme
VINES PC-based service = Server1@Lotus Notes@Acme9
Nickname in the group "Lotus Notes":
Notes User = Montana Rose@Marketing@Acme
VINES nickname Server1@Lotus Notes@Acme (that refers to Server1@Another Group@Acme)
VINES PC-based service = Server1@Another Group@Acme

OS/2 Warp Connect includes the MPTS utility, which provides LAPS support. MPTS is equivalent to NTS/2.
IBM NTS/2 or MPTS LAPS is a utility that provides protocol drivers for OS/2 Warp NetBIOS, IBM IEEE 802.2, and IBM NetWare Requester. The IBM NetWare Requester Support (ODI2NDI) protocol driver enables protocol stacks that comply with the Novell Open Data Link Interface (ODI) specification to operate with network adapter drivers that comply with Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS). When you install NTS/2 LAPS, it automatically sets up the CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files.F
If you are using OS/2 Warp Connect as described in "About setting up Domino with Novell NetBIOS, SPX, and IBM LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Connect," proceed to step 11. LAPS, IBM OS/2 Peer, and the NetWare requester for OS/2 are already installed and configured.p
1. Insert the IBM NTS/2 Disk 1 in Drive A: (or B:), type LAPS and press ENTER. If you are using MPTS, type install and press Enter.S
2. Choose Install, select the local target drive, then choose Configure.
3. Choose Configure LAN Transports to display the Configure Workstation window.u
4. From the Network Adapters box, add a network adapter, such as the 3Com 3C503 Etherlink Adapter. You can select more than one adapter, if necessary.
5. In the Protocols box, add these protocols: IBM OS/2 NetBIOS, IBM NetWare Requester, IBM IEEE 802.2. Note that IBM IEEE 802.2 is required for IBM NetWare Requester.
6. To edit one or more of the drivers selected in the Network Adapters and Protocols boxes above, highlight the driver in the Current Configuration box, choose Edit, and follow the steps below:
If you are installing LAPS on a Domino server, edit the IBM OS/2 NetBIOS protocol to increase the values for Sessions, NCBS, and Names. Recommended values are as follows:
Sessions = 100
NCBS = 125
Names = 40
For the IBM NetWare Requester Support (ODI2NDI) protocol driver, edit the fields as follows:
Netaddress
-- For an Ethernet address format, use the IEEE standard notation which begins with the letter i, for example, i02608c4e0652. For the IBM Token-Ring Network format, the address begins with the letter t, for example, t10005af00043.e
Frame Header Support
-- If your network is Token Ring, choose Yes for all frame header support fields associated with Token Ring. If your network is Ethernet, choose Yes or all frame header support fields associated with Ethernet.
Note
The IBM NTS/2 or MPTS LAPS configuration adds REM to the beginning of the NetWare device statement that loads the ODI network adapter driver and adds a statement to load the IBM NetWare Requester Support (ODI2NDI) protocol driver.
7. Select OK and then exit the LAPS application.
8. Restart the system.
9. Obtain the most recent version of the fix file ODI2NDI.OS2 and copy it to the IBMCOM\PROTOCOL directory, if necessary.N
10. Install IBM LAN Requester.o
11. Open the IBMLAN.INI file located in the IBMLAN directory.
12. In the [networks] heading, locate the following line: d
net1 = NETBEUI$,0,LM10,72,96,32
Under this line, type the following:
net2 = IPXNB$,0,LM10,64,96,14y
The net1 and net2 lines define which transport protocol is assigned to each virtual adapter number. In the example above, the line beginning with net1 assigns NETBEUI as the protocol when calls are made to NETAPI.DLL specifying adapter 0.
This also means that net1 uses NetBEUI to listen on Unit/Lana number 0; and net2 uses Novell NetBIOS (IPXNB$) to listen on Unit/Lana 1. This information is used in setting up the Notes ports.O
The completed installation and configuration enable Novell NetBIOS, SPX, and NetBEUI protocols to share the same network adapter, even though they use different network driver specifications, ODI versus NDIS.

You install multiple protocols one per network interface card or more than one per network interface card. Whether you can install more than one protocol on a card is interface and protocol depent.d
Overview of installing multiple protocols on one network cards
1. Install one network interface card and one network protocol and make sure they work.r
2. Save the configuration files.
3. Install the second protocol on the card and make sure that it works.b
4. Make sure that both protocols work together.y
To install more than two protocols, repeat step 3 for each protocol, then test the configuration after each installation.
Overview of installing multiple protocols on multiple network cards
You may need to install more than one network card for your protocols because of compatibility issues. If you are just adding a protocol to an existing card, start with step 3.
1. Install one network interface card and one network protocol and make sure they work.
2. Save the configuration files.
3. Install the second network interface card, keeping only one protocol active.
4. Make sure the protocol works after the hardware change.
5. Install the second protocol on the second card and make sure it works.

In many cases, people purchase the Domino server and Notes workstation programs that are compatible with an existing network operating system. If you are deciding which network operating system to buy or are adding a protocol to an existing Domino system, you should know that certain network protocols perform certain tasks better than other protocols:
AppleTalk, Banyan VINES, and NetBIOS offer convenience and ease of use.
NetWare SPX/SPXII offers high speed across LANs.
TCP/IP offers wide area routability, which simplifies LAN connections to wide area networks such as the Internet. TCP/IP is a very robust protocol and is the protocol on which the Internet is based.
The NetBIOS extended user interface (NetBEUI) is an efficient protocol that is ideal for use in smaller LANs of 20 to 200 users. NetBEUI provides for both connectionless and connection-oriented traffic on a single network, but does not support traffic across routers.s
No one protocol offers an optimal combination of convenience, wide area routability, and speed. Local access protocols may be different from the protocols used for cross-backbone database replication and mail routing.i

To set up NDS for a Domino server, you must configure NDS for the NetWare Client/server and then configure the Domino server to use NDS.
Configuring NDS for a Domino servere
1. Install a NetWare-compatible client that supports NDS and IPX/SPX.
2. Make sure the user login object has TRUSTEE rights to the Directory Tree, which includes BROWSE, CREATE, COMPARE, READ, and WRITE.b
3. Log in to the NDS Tree.
4. Create a Domino server NDS object class, and add this class to the NDS schema by doing one of the following:
If you are using NwAdmin, choose Tools - Define Notes Class.
If you are using NDSMgr, type the following command at the operating system prompt:
ndsmgr -c Notes t
Complete this step once for each NDS Tree. r
5. Add the Domino server NDS objects to the NDS tree by doing one of the following:
If you are using NwAdmin, choose Object - Create - Notes Server Object and enter the Domino server name. You can add information to the description if necessary.o
If you are using NDSMgr, type:
ndsmgr -a cn=o
server_namet
.o=
preferred_tree
where
server_name.
is the NDS name of the Domino server and
preferred_tree
is the preferred tree name.
Repeat this step to add all Domino server NDS objects to the NDS tree.
6. If you want the Domino server to log in to NDS automatically when the server starts, create user login objects for the Domino server and make sure each user login object has TRUSTEE rights and BROWSE, CREATE, COMPARE, READ, and WRITE access to the NDS directory tree context object.i
Configuring a Domino server to use NDS
1. Specify a Preferred Tree and Default Context. If you are using OS/2 Warp, specify these settings in the NET.CFG file. If you are using Windows NT or Windows 95, specify these settings in the control panel.
2. If you want the Domino server to log in to NDS automatically, type the following lines in the NOTES.INI file:
NWNDSUSERID=cn=m
server_name
.o=h
tree_nameo
where
server_name
is the NDS name of the Domino server and
tree_nameh
is the name of the tree. n
NWNDSPASSWORD=
NDS_Service_Password
where
NDS_Service_Password
is the password the Domino server uses to log into NDS.
3. If you have not enabled the SPX port, start the Notes workstation and choose File - Tools - User Preferences and select Ports. Select SPX and select Enable Port.
Domino automatically enables NDS and Bindery Services by default.D
4. If you use only NDS on all Domino servers in your organization, select SPX Options, select NetWare Directory Services (NDS) only to disable Bindery Services lookup within Domino.S
5. Open the Server document for this server in the Public Address Book and add the NDS server name to the Network Address field in the Network Configuration section. Include the Domino server's NDS distinguished name.
6. Exit the Notes workstation.

To set up NDS for a Notes workstation, you must configure NDS within the NetWare Client, and then configure the Notes workstation to use NDS.
Configuring NDS for a Notes workstation
1. Install a NetWare-compatible client that supports NDS and IPX/SPX.
2. Make sure the user login object has at least BROWSE access to the NDS tree.
3. Specify a Preferred Tree and Default Context.
If you are using OS/2 Warp or Windows, specify these settings in the NET.CFG file. If you are using Windows NT or Windows 95, specify these settings in the control panel.
4. Log in to the NDS tree.
Configuring a Notes workstation to use NDS
1. Start the Notes workstation.
2. If you have not enabled the SPX port, choose File - Tools - User Preferences and select Ports. Select SPX and select Enable Port.
Domino automatically enables NDS and Bindery Services.
3. If you use only NDS on all Domino servers in your organization, select SPX Options, select Advanced configuration, and select NDS to disable Bindery Services lookup within Domino.
4. If you are using only NDS and you want to specify a backup Public Address Book to use if the user's home server is unavailable, edit the location documents in the Personal Address Book and specify a Domino NDS secondary name server and NDS name server address in the Advanced section.p
5. If you are using only NDS, create a connection document for the home server in the user's Personal Address Book. In the Destination server field, add the NDS distinguished name for the home server.
For information on creating Connection documents, see Help.
6. Exit the Notes workstation, log in to the NDS tree, and restart Domino.

To configure multiple TCP/IP ports on a Domino server or Notes workstation, do the following:
1. Make sure that the TCP/IP networking software is configured properly and that each installed network interface card has a separate IP address that you can "ping."
Note
Currently there is not a complete user interface for configuring additional TCP/IP ports, so it is necessary to edit the NOTES.INI file as instructed below.
2. The first port should already be configured if you have installed TCP/IP as the network driver. If it is not, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports. Select TCP and enable the port by checking the box beside "Port Enabled."
3. To add a new port, for example, TCP2, choose File - Tools - User Preferences - Ports - New. In the New Port dialog box, enter TCP2, select TCP for the driver, select the appropriate location, and select OK to exit verifying that the port was created. Continue to add more ports as necessary.
4. Edit the NOTES.INI file. The port statement from steps 1 and 2 should be represented by the following:l
portname=drivername,0,15,0,,12288
TCP=TCP,0,15,0,,12288
TCP2=TCP,0,15,0,,12288
5. Add a line for each port defined above, stating its IP address and port number as represented by the following:
PORTNAME_TcpIpAddress=0
,IP Address:port number
For example, given ports TCP and TCP2, the following lines should be added:
TCP_TcpIpAddress=0,198.115.100.13:1352
TCP2_TcpIpAddress=0,198.114.100.12:1352
PORTNAME must match the port name you defined. f
The 0 after the equal sign is reserved for internal development use.
The port number can be any number, although you should avoid numbers under 5000. The default is 1352.
Connecting to the server with multiple ports configured
1. From a workstation: t
Add a connection record in the Personal Address Book for the Domino server with multiple cards.
Type the server name and IP address in the network field.
2. From a server:
Add a connection record in the Public Address Book.
Enter the server name and IP address in the Network field.
Edit the Server document. Add and enable the new port, specifying the same name given to the new port.

Solaris
To set up Domino to run with SPX on Sun SPARC and Solaris Intel Edition, do the following:
1. Install PC Protocol Services from Sun Microsystems on the Solaris Intel Edition system. This product is not included with Domino for Solaris or Solaris Intel Edition software. You must order it separately.
2. Follow the installation procedure provided with PC Protocol Services. In this procedure, you mount a disk containing the PC Protocol Services software and run an install program. The install program reconfigures the kernel and requires that you reboot the system. After you reboot the system, the daemon processes that run IPX/SPX start automatically, and IPX/SPX runs.
3. Change the following default configuration settings:_
Use the /opt/SUNWipx/bin/ipxd utility as root to stop IPX/SPX.
Set Ethernet type to the appropriate frame type, for example, Ethernet 802.3.
Edit the file /etc/opt/SUNWipx/ipxtab and change the setting for NetworkNumber: to an appropriate number, for example, 0x0.
Use the /opt/SUNWipx/bin/ipxd utility as root to restart IPX/SPX.
For detailed information on administering and configuring NetWare on Solaris, see the Sun Microsystems manual titled
SolarNet PC Protocol Services 1.1 - with IPX/SPX for the Solaris Intel Edition Operating Environment

This section provides installation and configuration guidelines for setting up Domino in a LAN Server environment. You can set up LAN Server as a server or a client, LAN Server applies to either configuration.l
Domino supports two NetBIOS network drivers, NETBIOS.DLL and IBMEENB.DLL. It uses the NETBIOS.DLL when LAN Server is running on OS/2 Warp Version 3 or later or it uses IBMEENB.DLL when NTS/2 LAPS or MPTS LAPS runs on OS/2 Warp Version 3 or later.f
LAN Server, NTS/2, or MPTS configuration files contain default values for maximum sessions, commands, and names for NetBIOS. The default NetBIOS resources should be appropriate for Notes workstations, but may not be appropriate for some Domino servers.
For network operating system requirements, see the Release Notes.a

You can control how AppleTalk logs warning and error messages in the error log on an OS/2 Warp server by adding parameters or changing default parameters. You may want to change these parameters if you are performing system troubleshooting, testing a new Domino server, or want to collect more or fewer statistics.C
Which file you enter or change parameters in to manipulate error message reporting depends on whether your network uses LAN Manager. AppleTalk messages on a LAN Manager network are written to the network operating system error log (LANMAN.INI or IBMLAN.INI).
Examples of non-LAN Manager networks are Novell NetWare, Banyan VINES, and Domino servers that are running only AppleTalk. AppleTalk messages on non-LAN Manager networks are written to a plain-text file. By default, this is the ATALK.LOG file located in the root directory of the boot drive (usually C:).

For security reasons, a company can set up a firewall or use a mail relay system to forward the mail between the MTA and the Internet. As is true with a direct connection to the Internet, the organization must be registered with a Internet service provider, and their DNS must be set up to have a mail exchange (MX) record for their Internet address to the Relay/Firewall (if required for inbound mail) and an Address (A) record to the server where the MTA resides. You must configure the Public Address Book to contain the minimum documents required to install an SMTP/MIME MTA.u

What if your organization needs to access an internal network (an intranet), as well the Internet? You still want to set up a firewall or use a mail relay system to forward the mail between the MTA and the Internet because that keeps your systems secure. However, you may want to access your Intranet directly without going through a firewall.
You still must register your organization with an Internet service provider, and their DNS must be set up to have a mail exchange (MX) record for their Internet address to the Relay/Firewall (if required for inbound mail) and an Address (A) record to the server where the MTA resides. They must then configure the Public Address Book to contain the minimum documents required to install an SMTP/MIME MTA.

Monitor database size and usage. Use database quotas to set maximum sizes for databases and enforce archiving.
Dedicate servers to specific tasks, such as mail routing, replication, or dial-in requests. Reducing the number of tasks a server performs improves the server response time.s
Avoid using a file server concurrently as a Domino server. Performance of either the file server or the Domino server suffers if one uses a lot of processing time. Additionally, if a program on the file server must be restarted, you must restart all other programs or processes, including Domino.
Restart the server on a regular schedule. Many databases that are always open on a server, such as the Server Log, the Public Address Book, and the Statistics Reporting database, build up deletion stubs that do not get purged until the server is restarted. If you wait too long between restarts, the purge process will slow down server startup.
Configure the server to run as many sessions as possible. The Domino server establishes a session for each task, such as replication and mail routing, and for each user who accesses the server. Domino allows users to access the server even after the maximum number of configured sessions is reached. When a new user tries to access the server, Domino drops the session for the user who has accessed the server least recently. Dropped users aren't affected since when they access the server again, they experience only a slight delay as a new session is established.
However, if the server is consistently pushed to the limits of its sessions, users may complain about slow performance. To avoid this, be sure that the server is configured to allow as many sessions as possible. If the server is still overloaded, consider adding another server or reducing the number of users who access the overloaded server.

To ensure that mail is being routed and delivered efficiently, check for dead mail daily. Dead mail is mail that fails to route within one day. The failure might be the result of a server or gateway being down.
You can check for dead mail by:
Checking the statistic MAIL.DEAD in the Statistics Reporting database. You can use an event to notify you automatically when you have dead mail on a server.
Looking at the Dead Mail view of a server MAIL.BOX.
Using the server command SHOW TASKS to list dead mail.
After you identify and resolve a mail routing problem, you can release the mail for delivery to the recipient or return it to the sender using the Release Dead Messages action in MAIL.BOX.

Depending on your needs, the type of topology you plan to use affects how you configure your MTA(s). All configuration changes are made within the Public Address Book. All configurations require a minimum of one each of the following documents:
The Global Domain document contains the name(s) of your organization as it is known by to the outside world. Most companies want to be known by one name (for example, ACME.COM), and they register that with their Internet provider. In some cases, a company may have more than one name. This is a common practice of companies that have merged with other companies having an historical domain name.
The Foreign SMTP Domain document defines which addresses are to be considered Internet Addresses and to which Domino domains (real or virtual) these messages should be sent. It also allows you to restrict access through your server, thus creating a more secure environment.
The Server Connection document creates a logical link between the MTA and the Foreign SMTP domain.
The Server document identifies the MTA to the server upon which it resides. It also links to the Global Domain document, so that the MTA is identified with the Global Domain.U
Note that for each scenario, the number of documents or the fields used within a document may change. For example, some scenarios require key changes to the Server document, while others might require changes only to the Server Connection document.
For the purpose of illustration, all examples are built on the same basic scenario. Only documents with changes are shown in each scenario.

A company can send mail back and forth between Domino and the Internet using a single SMTP/MIME MTA hat has access directly to the Internet. To do this, the company must:
Be registered with a Internet service provider (ISP).
Have their domain name service (DNS) set up to have a mail exchange (MX) record for their Internet address (if required) and an Address (A) record to the server where the MTA resides.R
Configure the Public Address Book to contain the minimum documents required to install an SMTP/MIME MTA.

The transient message databases (SMTP.BOX, SMTPOBWQ.NSF, SMTPIBWQ.NSF) are compacted automatically once a day by the Add-in Controller at a specified time, defined in the Perform daily housekeeping at: field on the Server document.
SMTP mail box (SMTP.BOX)
The install program creates the SMTP.BOX database from the SMTPBOX.NTF. The Domino Router places Notes messages in this database to be converted. The Outbound Message Conversion task polls this database for work at a configurable interval. Messages are not removed from this database by the Delivery Report Task until they are successfully sent or a Non-Delivery report is generated for them.
Outbound work queue (SMTPOBWQ.NSF)
The SMTP Outbound Work Queue is used a temporary storage area for messages that have been converted by the Outbound Message Conversion task and are pending transport, or transport has been attempted and are pending processing by the Delivery Report Task.
Inbound work queue (SMTPIBWQ.NSF)r
The SMTP Inbound Work Queue is used as a temporary storage area for messages that have been received by an Inbound Session Handler and are either pending conversion or pending processing by the Delivery Report Task.e
MTA Tables database (MTATABLES.NSF)a
Both the SMTP/MIME MTA and X400 MTA use the MTA Tables database. It acts as a lookup table for character set and file type identification routines in the MTAs and also as a cross reference table between MIME type/subtypes and file extensions.
MTA Forms database (MTAFORMS.NSF)o
The MTA Forms database is built from the Mail template (MAIL46.NTF) at install time. It is used to render Message content in outbound messages. If your organization is using custom letterhead subforms then they need to be added to this database to allow the message to be rendered, even though the letterhead doesn't appear in the resulting message.

Use these design guidelines to improve significantly the performance of a database application.f
Formula design and usage
Keep selection formulas, view formulas, and scheduled agents as simple as possible to reduce computation time.
When using the @ functions @DBLOOKUP and @DBCOLUMN, use the CACHE option if possible. Store the values returned by these functions in a temporary variable or a hidden field if you plan to use them again.e
Make sure functions that are time-consuming to calculate, such as lookup functions, are calculated only as necessary. Wrap these functions in a conditional clause so they are evaluated only when a condition is met.u
View designe
Maintaining fewer views improves database performance. Use dynamic view sort features to reduce the number of views in a database. e
Allow and encourage document category levels to avoid categories with a large number of documents. This speeds display of categories.n
Views display fastest when categories are either all collapsed or all expanded; choose one of these as a default rather than mixing.
Avoid categorizing documents in multiple categories. This slows down view navigation and document retrieval.
Use unread marks at the document level; avoid the Compute and Display at All Levels of View feature. This speeds view and category display.e
Be aware that selection formulas containing time-relative functions such as @NOW or @TODAY are rebuilt each time a view opens.
Indexing
Refreshing a database index takes time. Refresh as infrequently as possible without jeopardizing the integrity of the application.
Keep key and category values short. Long key values can slow down indexing.e
For databases you use infrequently, save disk space by discarding the index after each use. The performance trade-off is that it takes time to rebuild the index when you next access the database.l
Full text indexing
When databases on a server require frequent full text indexing, performance may suffer during heavy usage. Try changing to a lower priority indexing time on databases, for example, from immediate to hourly, or from hourly to daily. You can also change scheduled indexing to lower usage times.
When full text indexing a database, use the Whole Word and Case-Insensitive features to use the fewest resources.
If you plan to full text index a database, consider that protecting documents in a view with read or edit lists or roles slows down the retrieval process. $
Database maintenance p
Check databases for corrupted documents. Compact the databases after many deletions and modifications. Database size increases with additions and does not decrease until you compact it. Databases below 90% of capacity may see performance improvements from compacting, but be aware of the time it takes to compact a large database.
When using the option "Store form in document," use a mail-in agent to remove the $Body field(s) in a document as it arrives in its destination database. Keep one copy of the form in the destination database to view the documents. This saves disk space and improves the perfomance of the database.

This table lists some of the variables in the NOTES.INI file that you can customize to improve server performance.
NOTES.INI variable
Descriptiont
MailMaxThreads
Determines the maximum number of threads that the mail Router can create to perform its mail transfers efficiently. Without this variable, the default is one thread per server port.
Memory_Quota
Determines the maximum number of megabytes of virtual memory that Domino is permitted to allocate. Administrators gain more control over the growth of the swap file.
MinNewMailPoll
Determines how often workstations can contact the server to see if new mail has arrived for the user. This setting overrides the user's selection in the Mail Setup dialog box. No default is set during server setup.
NSF_Buffer_Pool_Size
Sets the size of the NSF buffer pool, a section of memory used for buffering I/O transfers between the NSF and NIF indexing functions and disk storage. The default value is usually sufficient, but if users get an error telling them to increase the value of this variable, increase the value a few megabytes at a time. You can use a performance monitor to find out if a larger value is causing too much swapping or paging.
NSF_DbCache_Disable
Enables (=0) or disables (=1) database caching. The database cache stores data required to open recently opened databases. A database stored in the cache can be opened more quickly than one not stored in the cache. m
NSF_DbCaches
_Maxentriesp
Sets the maximum number of databases stored in the database cache (if enabled). For short intervals Domino will store up to 1.5 times the number entered for this variable. Increasing the maximum number of databases improves performance but requires more memory. e
ServerTasks
Controls the tasks that the server runs. These tasks start automatically at server startup and continue until the server is shut down. Improve performance by removing tasks that aren't appropriate to the server if it is a specialized server. Do not remove the update task from a server. If you do so, the Public Address Book will not update.r
For more information on editing system variables in the NOTES.INI file, see Appendix A in
Getting Started with Domino.

Domino servers and Notes clients are connected over a network. Server-to-server and client-to-server connections can take one or a combination of these forms:
Always connected through a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN)
Sometimes connected through a communications port used for dial-up connections
Sometimes connected via remote LAN service
Connected through both LAN/WAN and a dial-up port

A Notes user addresses a Notes message to an SMTP address -- for example, Joe@acme.com.
The Notes Mail Router identifies the address as an SMTP address based on the syntax. It looks in the Public Address Book at the Foreign SMTP Domain documents and the SMTP Connection documents to determine the Notes server running the appropriate SMTP/MIME MTA.
The Notes Mail Router then routes the message to the SMTP MTA server, where the SMTP.BOX database stores the message.
The Outbound Conversion Handler task polls SMTP.BOX at regular intervals for new messages. When it finds a message, it converts it from Notes format to RFC822 format and writes it to the Outbound Work Queue. It also updates the message in SMTP.BOX to indicate that it is pending transmission. a
The Outbound Session Controller reads the message from the Outbound Work Queue and notifies (or creates) an Outbound Session Handler task passing the message ID. The Outbound Session Controller can launch up to three handlers by default; however, you can configure it to launch a maximum of eight handlers. If possible, the controller groups message for the same host to reduce overhead.
The Outbound Session Handler retrieves the message from the work queue. It resolves the specified Destination Host to an IP address, opens a connection to the destination, and sends the message through the SMTP protocol driver. It then changes the state of the message in the Outbound Work Queue to Sent.
The Delivery Report Task removes the message from the Outbound Work Queue and SMTP.BOX. If the message experiences a temporary failure--for example, if the destination was unavailable--the message will be requeued to be resent later. If the message experiences a permanent failure--for example, if the destination host is unknown or the user on that host is unknown--the Delivery Report Task generates and sends a Non-delivery Report to the sender and removes the original message from the Work Queue and SMTP.BOX..
How mail travels from the Internet to Notese
The Inbound Session Controller Task listens on the well-known SMTP socket to respond to connection requests. When a connection request comes in, the Inbound Session Controller notifies (or creates) an Inbound Session Handler to process the message. The Controller can launch up to three handlers by default; however, you can configure it to launch a maximum of eight.
The Inbound Session Handler receives the SMTP message and writes it to the inbound work queue in RFC822 format.
The Inbound Message Conversion task reads the message out of the Inbound Work Queue. If the message is not addressed to a configured list of Internet domains in the Global Domain documents(s), it passes the message on to the outbound work queue to be sent to the correct destination. If the address is recognized, the address is converted to a Notes address. If the message is deliverable, it is converted to Notes format and placed in MAIL.BOX for the Notes Mail Router to deliver. If the message fails to be routed to a destination or fails conversion, the conversion task will indicate this in the message so that Delivery Report Task can take appropriate action.
The Delivery Report Task polls the Inbound Work Queue and deals with the message accordingly, either deleting it or placing a Non-Delivery Report in the Outbound Work Queue.m

Since there is no virtual memory in Novell NetWare, install memory for every application or process on the machine. To run Domino, you need a minimum 24MB of memory. 32MB is recommended for 64 users; 48MB is recommended for 128 users. Other NLM servers running on the file server may need additional memory.
To improve performance on an existing Domino server, increase disk space and add more memory. For optimal performance, run the Domino server for NetWare on a dedicated NetWare file server.
Improving STARTUP.NCFr
For good performance on the NLM server, include this line in STARTUP.NCF to ensure that the file server keeps enough network data packets in memory to respond promptly to requests for transferring data across the network:N
set minimum packet receive buffers=
where
is a number between 10 and 1000, with 10 being the default. Use the NetWare Monitor to check the server's current setting.
Improving AUTOEXEC.NCF
In the AUTOEXEC.NCF file or at the NetWare console, load the Domino server for NetWare before loading the NetWare Monitor. Due to a known problem in the NetWare Monitor program, processor use can approach 100% if you load the Monitor program before loading the Domino server. Modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF file as follows:
load notessrve
load monitor
NLM setting in AUTOEXEC.NCFo
Description
set maximum packet receive buffers=1000
To avoid using all available memory on the server, limit the number of network data packets that can be stored in memory. Specify 1000 when a high number of network transactions is expected. Default is 100. Use the NetWare MONITOR to check the server's current setting.
set dirty disk cache delay time =7.5
The dirty disk cache is information in memory that is written to disk shortly. The delay time specifies how long the operating system waits before writing the information to disk. Specify 7.5 seconds to make disk operations more efficient. The range for this variable is between 0.1 seconds and 10 seconds, with 3.3 seconds being the default.
set minimum file cache buffers=1000y
File caching improves file access time by taking the most recently read data from the disk and keeping it in file cache buffers in memory until it's needed. Establishing a minimum number of file cache buffers ensures that a certain amount of memory is dedicated to file caching. Specify 1000 to ensure that Notes users can access files quickly. The range for this variable is between 20 and 1000, with 20 being the default.
set maximum alloc short term memory=5000000u
If you are running NetWare 3.12, you don't need to change this variable. The default of 8MB should be adequate. The Alloc Short Term Memory pool is a block of memory set aside for the temporary use of the operating system and loadable modules. Specify 5MB to ensure that the NLM server has enough short
term memory to use for its normal operations.
set immediate purge of deleted file=on
Determines whether you can recover accidentally deleted files using the NetWare FILER's "Salvage deleted file" option. The default is OFF, which allows recovery of deleted files. Set to ON increases the amount of disk space available, but can cause users inconvenience.g
set reply to get nearest server=offh
When set to ON, the server must respond to "Get Nearest Server" requests from workstations. Set the default setting (OFF) to conserve server processing time.o
set enable disk read after write verify=off
When information is written to disk, this setting determines whether the information is compared against the same information held in memory. The default setting is ON, which ensures the integrity of the data. Setting to OFF speeds up disk operations, but increases the risk of corrupted files.

To improve performance on existing Domino OS/2 Warp servers, increase disk space and add more memory (a minimum of 16MB of memory is recommended). Buy a LOCALBUS disk controller to achieve faster data transfer rates than with a PC/AT bus.
Choosing a file system
OS/2 Warp provides a choice for the Domino server file system. The File Allocation Table (FAT) system is the traditional system used in DOS. High Performance File System (HPFS) is an OS/2 Warp
specific system. Domino works equally well on both file systems.
HPFS systems are usually three times faster than FAT systems and allow for better storage of small files, although the drive is not shareable with DOS and requires a long boot time after a crash. FAT systems allow you to share a drive with DOS so systems can be dual-boot, but they are slower and provide poorer storage for small files. o
Disk swapping
OS/2 Warp makes extensive use of disk swap space. Be sure that the drive where OS2\SYSTEM\SWAPPER.DAT resides has at least 5MB to 10MB free for normal expansion by OS/2 Warp. OS/2 Warp uses this file as virtual memory.
To enable disk swapping, Domino requires the following statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.
MEMMAN=SWAP,MOVE
When the swap file becomes too big, which is usually due to low memory conditions, server performance deteriorates and the server may crash. Restart the server to clear the swap file and then automatically reset the file to the default value of 512KB.
If the swap file consistently exceeds 20 percent or more of RAM, increase system memory to the maximum size allowed by OS/2 Warp. For example, with 6MB RAM and a swap file of 1.5MB, the swap file is 25 percent of RAM. To improve performance, add 2MB of RAM.
Disk caching
Disk caching keeps the most recently read data in RAM until it's needed again. By setting up a disk cache, you can dramatically improve the time it takes for Domino to read data from the disk.
HPFS
Set the HPFS cache to 10 to 15 percent of the total available RAM, up to a maximum disk cache of 2048K. To set the DISKCACHE to 1536 blocks (1 block=1K), enter the following IFS and RUN statements in the CONFIG.SYS file: o
Set DISKCACHE between 512 to 1024 blocks. To set DISKCACHE to 1024 blocks (1 block=1K), enter the following statement in the CONFIG.SYS file:D
DISKCACHE=1024 blocks
Configuring memory
Good server performance depends on adequate memory. Configure a new server with the maximum amount of memory you can afford. If you have a performance problem with an existing server, increasing memory should help.
Note
OS/2 2.x can handle more than 16MB of RAM. To force Domino to take advantage of more than 6MB, set the NOTES.INI variable NSF_Buffer_Pool_Size.\
Configuring your diskN
Follow these guidelines for optimal disk performance:O
Use many small disks rather than one large disk. For example, four 300MB drives are preferable to one 1.2GB drive.
If you have more than one drive, do not put databases on the same drive as the swap file. You can, however, put the Domino program and library files on the drive with the swap file.n
Defragment your disks regularly.
Allow for growth on the disk that contains the LOG.NSF and STATREP.NSF databases, as well as on disks that contain any databases that could grow large.

Improving the lookup timee
To speed the lookup time for the Public Address Book, create a group called Frequent Users. Groups are processed faster than either views or server access lists. Add the Frequent Users group to the Access server field in the appropriate Server document. If Domino finds the user in the Frequent Users group first, it doesn't look for that user in the Public Address Book.
Improving performance of the Administration server
Processing a request to rename a server in the Public Address Book may slow down the performance of the Administration server. To minimize this, perform the following steps on the Administration server for the Public Address Book when the Rename Server in Address Book request appears in the Administration Request database.
Shut down the Update, Router, and Replicate server tasks.s
Enter a Tell Adminp Process New command from the server console.
When the status of the Administration Process is idle, load the Updater task to update the view indexes of the Public Address Book.n
When the Updater is idle, restart the Router and Replicator tasks.
Use the Push server command with the name of the server whose name is changing to force replication of the modified Public Address Book to the upgraded server.

Be careful about overscheduling the server. When the server becomes overloaded, calls back up, mail is not delivered, and users may receive poor service from the server.
Check the log file (LOG.NSF) to see that databases are replicating properly, mail is routing promptly, and that the server is not overloaded. If necessary, modify the Connection documents and make adjustments until the problem is solved.
Use selective replication to replicate only documents from a certain person, about a certain topic, or subsets of databases.
If replications are taking too long, change the schedule to replicate more often so there are fewer updates per replication.
Schedule replication at off-peak hours. If you are replicating internationally, consider the time zones for the source and destination servers and plan accordingly.
For the most dramatic improvement in performance, set up multiple replications so that a server, such as the hub, can replicate with multiple servers simultaneously. This should improve replication performance immediately.
Use replication options to shorten replication times. For example, if a hub server replicates to 50 servers and you want to make sure an entire replication cycle occurs twice a day, limit the time the hub connects to each server. Be sure to check the log to see which databases replicate completely and which do not.
Set the replication priority to high, medium, or low to replicate databases of different priorities at different times. Set up replication groups based on replication priority.
Develop a policy that controls how database replicas get placed on servers. Creating unnecessary replicas consumes system resources.
Check the Statistics & Events database for events indicating server problems.i

When a UNIX system runs Domino server software, the server must have enough disk space for program and data files and enough memory to handle swapping and the number of processes. You can also change several system parameters to improve server performance.
For information on system requirements and improving performance on a UNIX server, see the
Release Notes
for your UNIX platform.

If you experience a high page fault rate and a high page I/O as a result of Domino server processes running on a Windows NT Advanced Server configuration, check the configuration file. You will probably find that the following Registry entry in the configuration file is non-zero:
This entry specifies that the Windows NT system should work as a file server rather than an application server because Windows NT will favor the system-cache working set rather than the processes working set. On an Windows NT workstation, the setting for that Registry entry is zero.i
If you are running a Domino server on a Windows NT system set as a file server, the excessive page faults and paging activities can result from memory-intensive processes. For example, rebuilding the index for a large database might result in an undesirable level of paging, causing users to experience poor response times.y
To correct the problem, reset the Registry entry to zero and reboot the system.u

Domino provides a database, LOG.NSF, that logs replication events for a server. Using the log, you can track the following items:
Disconnection between network or remote servers
Certification problems
Documents damaged in replication
Problems resulting from insufficient ACL access
Each database also maintains a replication history that is useful for tracking replication problems. The database manager is generally responsible for monitoring the replication history. View by clicking the Replication History button on the Basics tab of the Database Properties InfoBox.

Gathering information about server activities falls into two areas: events and statistics. Server events are the errors and alarms for a monitored server. Server statistics track information about a wide range of server activity, such as available memory, disk space usage, mail activity, and communications port activity. By monitoring the statistics for certain conditions, such as low disk space, you can set alarms to head off trouble. Events and statistics are not generated by default; you must run server tasks to collect information at intervals you specify.
You can collect statistics and events data by running a Report task on each server or running a Collector task on a centrally located server. The Collector task collects data for the server running the task plus a number of other servers. Each task stores data in a statistics database and generates alarms based on the contents of a configuration database.
Guidelines for monitoring statistics and events
Choose a standard set of statistics that you want all server administrators to monitor. Establish alarm thresholds for various server configurations.
Centralize statistic and event monitoring to reduce administrative overhead. Not every server needs its own Report task and Statistics Reporting database. Instead, run the Collector on a central server and store statistics from various servers in one central database where one administrator can monitor the information.
Decide how to handle alarms generated by statistic monitoring. For example, you might specify that alarms trigger trouble-tickets that are sent either to a mail-in database or directly to an administrator.l
Use Event Monitors and Message to Event Mapping documents in the Statistics & Events database to automatically monitor messages that get logged to the log file.
Use access control list (ACL) and Replication Monitors to monitor the ACL and replication schedules of key databases.
Use the Statistic Analysis reports to look for trends, slow-downs, and peak usage periods over a period of time.

As you plan your deployment, consider the following naming conventions and guidelines:
Domain names should be a single word or string (maximum of 31 characters). Do not use periods (.) in a domain name as they are reserved characters.
Organization name is the name of the Certifier ID and is appended to all user and server names. Typically, the organization name is the same as the domain name, and there is only one organization per domain. The name can have a maximum of 64 characters.
Domino network names denote groups of servers that are physically connected and use the same network protocol. The name can have a maximum of 31 characters. It is helpful to use an identifier such as the location of the Domino named network, the LAN type, or the protocol. For example, Boston_Novell or Singapore_Ethernet are descriptive names.
Domino server names are unique names that identify servers in a domain. Server names can consist of one or more words (a maximum of 79 characters) and can consist of any characters except: parentheses, at (@), slash and backslash (/ and \), equal (=), and plus (+). Using spaces is not recommended. If you use spaces, you must enter that server name in quotes ("") when entering a command at the server console.
Guidelines for naming a Domino serverr
Choose a name you want to keep. Changing a server name involves recertifying the server ID and changing the name in the Server document, Group documents, database access control lists (ACLs), and Connection documents.e
Choose a name without a space. When you use server console commands, you must use quotation marks around a server name containing spaces.e
Consider that replication and mail routing tasks are usually performed based on numerical rather than alphabetical order. For example,when the router faces multiple choices for a routing path, Domino routes mail to the server 01Finance, then the server Accounting, then the server Research.
In certain networks the first several characters in a server name must be unique for the network to identify the server. With NetBIOS, the first 15 characters must be unique; with AppleTalk, the first 32 must be unique; and with SPX, the first 47 must be unique.

With some network operating systems, such as IBM LAN Server or Windows NT, Domino servers can run concurrently with the network file server. Some network operating systems, such as Novell NetWare, require that Domino servers run concurrently with a file server.
However, if your system does not require it, avoid running Domino servers concurrently with a file server because:
Security may be circumvented by network file server users if the Domino data directories are inadvertently shared. Restrict all access to Domino data directories from network users.
Performance of either the file server or the Domino server will suffer if one uses a lot of processing time.
Stability of the file server or of Domino may be affected. For example, if a file server program or a Domino program is restarted, all other programs or processes must also be restarted.

Because replication can involve moving large amounts of data, how you set up and schedule replication can have a significant impact on performance. After you develop a basic replication strategy, consider some of these tips to help you fine-tune your system:
To use your server resources efficiently, run multiple replicators on a single server so that replication among servers will be faster. Each replicator must replicate with a different server; you cannot use multiple replicators to replicate with multiple databases on the same server.
Use selective replication to replicate only certain items instead of automatically replicating an entire database.
To save money on connection costs to remote sites, specify a time limit for replication in the Server Connection document.
Keep the number of hops in a replication route to a minimum. The number of hops results directly from how you connect servers with Connection documents. Generally, when you get beyond a few servers, the most effective arrangement for servers is hub-spoke, where the hub initiates replication by calling the spokes and passing the replication data along.
Because replication can affect response time on a server, limit replication on servers where users are attached. Heavy replication schedules should be restricted to dedicated replication servers or to hubs.
Don't run server tasks such as AGMGR, UPDALL and UPDATE on a hub server. These tasks slow the server because they require CPU resources and affect most databases. I
Don't build or store full text indexes on a hub server. Full text indexes take up disk space and must be updated. Build and store full text indexes on spoke servers.
Don't put hub servers in the same Domino named network as any other servers. Hub servers should not participate in mail routing and should not appear in a user's Open Database dialog box. The server access list of a hub server should enforce these restrictions.
When a replica is placed on a hub, it should be a complete replica. This allows spoke servers to selectively replicate from any hub server. Exceptions should be carefully managed.
It is tempting to try to schedule replications at different levels of the hub-spoke arrangement to predict the movement of data up to the central hub and then back down to the spokes, but this does not result in any benefit. Each hub serves its spokes best by conducting a simple "round robin" schedule among them, repeating as often as practical. This distributes all data within a hub's sphere of influence as quickly as possible.
An exception to hub-spoke replication is if you have a very large database (500MB or larger) that is supported on only two or three servers. In this case, the servers should replicate directly with each other so that the hubs do not need 500MB of space to support the database.
In a tree structure, any problem with a hub server partitions the network into two pieces that don't communicate with each other. To alleviate this risk, have a backup server available and configure it so that it can be substituted for any hub server in fewer than 10 minutes.

When you work with multiple domains, each domain has its own Public Address Book. To route mail between domains, use any of the following methods.
Separate Public Address booksU
Using this strategy, a server stores only a replica of its primary Public Address Book (the one associated with its domain). Separate Public Address books are easier to maintain and don't need to be replicated across domains.
Directory assistance
Directory assistance allows users to select names from secondary Public Address books. (
Cascading Public Address books
You set up cascading Public Address books by using the NOTES.INI setting NAMES= on servers to point to a replica of secondary Address books. With this approach, users can use the Addressing dialog box to select names from secondary Public Address Books. Be aware that:
Domino searches the secondary Public Address Books in the order they are listed in the NAMES= setting.
It doesn't resolve names from secondary Public Address Books entered in memos before sending them.
You are limited in the number of domains you can set up for cascading Public Address Books by the NOTES.INI NAMES setting, which has a maximum of 256 characters.l
A user cannot automatically access a replica when the server storing a secondary Public Address Book (NAMES= points to) is unavailable.
There are two ways to set up cascading Public Address Books:
Replicate secondary Public Address books within a domain
With this arrangement, servers in a domain store replicas of secondary Public Address books as well as a replica of their primary Public Address Book. Storing replicas of secondary Public Address books provides the type-ahead addressing feature. However, this arrangement requires additional disk space and regular replication of secondary Public Address books.
Access secondary Public Address books over the network
With this arrangement, most or all servers in a domain store only replicas of their primary Public Address books and point to replicas of secondary Public Address books on another server which are accessed over the network. This arrangement requires less disk space and less Public Address Book replication than replicating secondary Public Address books. However, the type-ahead addressing feature doesn't search secondary Public Address Books accessed over the network and a server session is kept open permanently for each server configured in NAMES= to be accessed over the network.

Add-in Controller
The Add-in Controller (task name: SMTPMTA) is the task that is loaded on the Domino server. It acts as a control point for all the other tasks. All commands for the MTA are sent to the Add-in Controller and it notifies the necessary child processes--for example, Tell SMTPMTA Quit.c
Outbound Message Conversion
The Outbound Message Conversion task (task name: SMTPMTA OMSGCNV) converts Notes messages into a SMTP/MIME format ready for transmission. The format of the SMTP message and the conversion of Notes addresses to SMTP Addresses is fully configurable.S
Outbound Session Controllery
The Outbound Session Controller (task name: SMTPMTA OSESCTL) controls the transport of the converted messages to their respective SMTP destinations. It launches or notifies one or more session handlers to perform the transport of the message or messages to a particular destination.
Outbound Session Handler(s)B
The Outbound Session Handler(s) (task name: SMTPMTA OSESHLRR
) are child processes of the Outbound Session Controller. The handlers perform the actual tasks of connecting to the destination or next hop in the SMTP system, delivering the message(s) and passing back any errors, either temporary or permanent.
Inbound Message Conversion
The Inbound Message Conversion Task (task name: SMTPMTA IMSGCNV) converts messages received by the Inbound Sessions Handler(s) to a Notes format. It also converts the destination user address to a Notes format and checks that this address is deliverable. If the message is not convertible or the address not deliverable, the Inbound Message Conversion Task indicates the message has failed delivery so that a Non-delivery Report can be generated. If the message is not destined for Notes, it puts the message into the work queue for the Outbound Transport.r
Inbound Session Controller
The Inbound Session Controller (task name: SMTPMTA ISESCTL) controls the receiving of messages from other SMTP systems. It listens on the SMTP port 25 and accepts the initial incoming connection. It then launches or notifies an Inbound Session Handler to take the connection so that it can listen for a new connection.
Inbound Session Handler(s)
The Inbound Sessions Handler(s) (task name: SMTPMTA ISESHLR
) accept incoming connections from the Inbound Session Controller. They perform the SMTP protocol handshaking with the sending system and write the incoming data to the work queue.
Delivery Report Task
All the other SMTP MTA tasks perform specific functions. For each message, each task indicates whether or not that task was successful and whether a temporary or permanent error occurred. The Delivery Report Task processes the messages in the work queues depending on their status. The Delivery Report Task deletes all messages that have been successfully sent or received. For messages that have a permanent failure, the Delivery Report Task generates a Non-delivery Report or Undeliverable Message Notification back to the sender and also notifies the administrator.

The Fixup server task checks databases for corrupted documents and, if possible, fixes them to prevent server crashes. The first database that Fixup checks and repairs is the log file so that all subsequent repairs can be documented. You can run Fixup one of two ways:
Automatically, each time the server starts.
On demand as a command from the server console. You can check all databases on the server or specify one or more databases.

The Lotus Domino SMTP/MIME MTA is a component of the Notes Messaging Services family of products. The SMTP/MIME MTA provides advanced messaging features and extensions to the Domino Server. With the SMTP/MIME MTA, a Domino server transfers Simple Message Transfer Protocol (SMTP) messages between SMTP networks (both Internet and intranets) and Notes, X.400, and cc:Mail users.
The SMTP/MIME MTA provides scaleable, bi-directional message transfer with SMTP networks. Through the implementation of standards, such as Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), the MTA ensures state-of-the-art interoperability with other SMTP/MIME implementations.
Configuration and management are made easy since the MTA is integrated into the Domino server. Notes networks can be integrated with SMTP networks in a variety of different topologies by installing SMTP/MIME MTA on one or more Domino servers. Customers can use SMTP to send Notes mail messages between Domino servers with no loss of form or content when companies desire an SMTP backbone.
The MTA provides flexible address conversion between the SMTP RFC822 format and the Notes and cc:Mail environments.
An MTA, not just a gateway R
The SMTP/MIME MTA is a scaleable, high performance component of the Domino Messaging Services. The MTA can translate messages from SMTP/MIME to Notes and vice versa, like a gateway. In addition, the Domino SMTP/MIME MTA operates as a traditional message transfer agent (MTA) when there is a requirement to relay messages, unconverted, from one SMTP/MIME MTA to another.
Some firewalls allow only specific applications, like SMTP, to access the Internet's TCP/IP capability. In cases like this, where SMTP is the only TCP/IP protocol available between two Domino environments, the MTA can encapsulate Notes mail messages over the SMTP network. This provides high-fidelity transfer of Notes mail messages when connected to an SMTP backbone.
Built on standards
The SMTP/MIME MTA is based on Internet Request for Comments (RFCs). Among the RFCs supported are:
RFC821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocoli
RFC822 Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages
RFC1521 MIME: Part I (message bodies)
RFC1522 MIME: Part II (message headers)
RFC974 Mail Routing and the Domain System
RFC1123 Requirements for Internet Hosts - Application and Support

The log file (LOG.NSF) records server events, such as replications performed, mail routed, and databases used. The server creates the log file automatically and starts recording information when the server starts.v
As part of server maintenance activities, check the log every day to learn about server problems, including replication, mail routing, and modem problems. The log is also an important tool for analyzing your system because it tracks such information as database size and usage, and calls to and from a server.d
You can customize what information gets logged through setup options and log views. Your maintenance plan should include what standard information should be logged for a server and some guidelines on how to deal with log data.
Identifying problems with the Log Analysis tool_
You can search the log using the Log Analysis tool on the administration panel. The Log Analysis tool allows you to search multiple servers for keywords you specify and direct the search output to an output database you specify. Searching for words such as "error," "failed," and "cannot" will lead you to most system problems and help you to isolate potential problems. For example, you use the tool to search the Miscellaneous Event view of several specified servers for all occurrences of the word "corrupt." You can direct the output to a local copy of a results database to allow for central administration with minimal network traffic.

This scenario is similar to accessing the Internet through a firewall with Intranet messages delivered directly, except that two MTAs are used to handle the messaging load. In this example, Internet message traffic should not impact the throughput of messages to other local systems. For this configuration to work correctly, there are two ways you can set up the DNS.
You can register your organization with an Internet service provider, and their DNS must be set up to have a mail exchange (MX) record for the Internet address to the Relay/Firewall (if required for inbound mail) and an Address (A) record to the each server where an SMTP/MIME MTA resides. You must then configure the Public Address Book on each MTA server, to contain the minimum documents required to install an SMTP/MIME MTA.

Administering Domino servers is one of the most critical tasks in a Domino system. Your system depends on maintaining easy, reliable access for users. Be sure to have enough administrators for your servers and consider creating an administration team to handle server issues at a company level and to work on improving the efficiency and success of server administration. Administrators should be responsible for the following tasks:
Running, monitoring, and troubleshooting Domino servers.
Lotus provides an SNMP NotesView
agent to assist administrators in monitoring activity on their network and with their servers. For more information, see the Lotus Web site at http://www.lotus.com/systems/.
Installing and setting up new servers.
Optimizing server performance. b
Administrators set and configure the NOTES.INI settings on the Domino server, compact databases, fix corrupted files, and enable the server to run at maximum efficiency.
Setting up multi-database searching.
Managing the Public Address Book.
Administrators create and update Person records, Groups, and the documents related to servers in the Public Address Book. In addition, they make the Address Book useful to users by overseeing directory assistance, managing cascading address books, and administrating LDAP.
Configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting replication and mail routing.
Administrators set up and maintain shared mail, schedule and configure replication, set mail thresholds, reroute dead mail, configure POP3 clients and files, and set replication access levels among servers.
Setting up and monitoring scheduling, free time lookups, and the resource reservations database to enable calendaring and scheduling at an organizational level.
Setting up, monitoring, testing, and ensuring server and network security.
Dealing with remote connections to servers, including access issues, passthru, and hunt groups.i
If your company uses Domino Advanced Services, setting up clustering, billing and monitoring, failover, load balancing, and partitioned servers.
Managing users.
Administrators add, remove, and certify users, as well as manage moves from one home server to another or from one domain to another.
Responding to user requests, problems, and suggestions.
Monitoring the Log and statistics databases.
Monitoring Internet access and ensuring a stable, reliable connection to the Internet.
Backing up databases and files.
You can administer Domino servers from a Lotus Notes Designer for Domino client, a Web browser via the Web Server Administration Tool, and from an administration-only Notes client which is included with each Domino server license. WIth the Web Server Administration tool, you administer a Domino server from a browser through a URL that accesses an administration database. Domino provides access control to the database with challenge-response password authentication and optional SSL encryption and authentication. The administration-only Notes client lets you use the server administration panel, the Administration menu, and your mail file.

Domino administration involves maintenance and tasks with the Domino servers, Domino named networks, domains, and databases. For complete information on administration, see
Getting Started with Domino
Extending the Domino System
, and
Maintaining the Domino System
(HELPADMN.NSF). This section is an overview of some of the activities and processes you should consider in planning your deployment.
Consider creating a mail-in database for common requests, such as server access, certification, and name changes. With the workflow capabilities of Domino, you can set up the database to route requests to the correct resource automatically. This reduces the need to sort and resend requests.
About administration tasks
Plan for the following administration tasks as you consider personnel for your rollout:
Registering new users
You must create Person documents and mail files for new users and enter information about the users in the Public Address Book. New Notes users require Notes IDs.
Registering new servers
You must create server IDs and set up connections, replication, and mail routing for new servers.
Maintaining the Public Address Book
You must update the documents in the Public Address Book and remove obsolete documents.a
Scheduling, managing, and troubleshooting replications
You must set up replication between servers to keep databases current. The complexity of this task varies with your network topology.o
Scheduling, managing, and troubleshooting mail routing
You must set up mail routing between servers to ensure timely communication. Mail routing is a task similar to replication, but involves routing between different Domino named networks and domains. The complexity of this task varies with the number of domains and Domino named networks in your organization. Lotus recommends you use only one domain for your organization, unless your organization is very large. Using more than one domain requires one of the following:u
- Using a Master Address Booka
- Using cascading Address bookss
- Appending domain names to e-mail addresses
In addition, mail routing requires monitoring dead mail and tracing the path of mail that fails to be delivered.
Setting up and maintaining calendars and schedules
You must set up the Schedule Manager, Calendar Connector, and Resource Reservations database if you want to use the calendar and scheduling features in Domino.t
Setting up, updating, and ensuring securitya
You must create and maintain a secure Domino environment. This involves software, hardware, and networking considerations. You must manage ID files, ACLs, server access lists, Deny lists, encryption, and electronic signatures.
Setting up and maintaining remote access
You must make sure remote and mobile users have access.
Monitoring system usage and problems
You must track statistics in the log file to determine the level of system use and system problems. This alerts you to a need for more servers, more hardware, or better distribution of system tasks.
Maintaining databases
You must update and maintain Domino databases, including updating designs and full text indexes, and resolve database issues.
Ensuring system access
You must make sure critical hardware and software applications are available to users. If necessary, use the clustering feature of Domino Advanced Services for failover.
Troubleshooting
You must solve problems as they arise, track their causes and resolution, and work to prevent their recurrence.

Because numerous tasks fall under the heading of administration, coordinating activities and setting up clear divisions of responsibility greatly improves the proper functioning and efficiency of your system. Domino server administrators, database managers, and support can all help.s
The database manager handles most database responsibilities that include granting database access, monitoring database usage and participation, archiving documents, and updating database design. Administrators should work with databases as entities without being involved in database-specific activities. Administration responsibilities include fixing corrupted databases, approving requests for new databases or new replicas, monitoring server load from database usage, granting server access to users if necessary, and creating database backups.
Administration responsibilities included user registration, server setup, and certification. You can use roles in the Public Address Book to delegate responsibilities while maintaining security and control. For example, one administrator creates new users while a second creates new connections between servers. You must balance the need for security (for example, by having multiple passwords on a certifier ID file and giving only one password to each administrator) with the need to delegate tasks.
User issues and requests to Support relating to servers are generally dealt with by Domino administrators. n

Many organizations need reliable, 24x7 access to servers, messaging, and databases. Use Domino Advanced Services to achieve this level of performance and reliability. Domino Advanced Services lets you cluster multiple servers with failover capabilities. If one server in the cluster goes down, users trying to access that server are immediately transferred to another clustered server. Databases on the clustered servers replicate in real time, providing failproof data access. Processing and workload can be split among the servers upon reaching administrator-defined thresholds.
Domino Advanced Services allows you to host multiple servers on one computer. These partitioned servers function and appear to users as physically separate computers. Partitioned servers let you fine-tune your resources; for example, you can host multiple Web sites or set up several mail servers on one powerful computer. h

Thel Domino server provides the unmatched ability to create and host rich, interactive applications built on databases, HTML Web pages and forms, Java applets, and a wealth of programming tools. Applications help your business reduce overhead, increase workflow efficiency and speed, cut costs, and integrate information. For more information on creating applications, see the
Application Developer's Guide
You can place an application on an intranet, extranet, or the Internet with equal ease. Domino converts databases into HTML, removing the need to code HTML. Instead of writing CGI or Perl scripts, use forms with automated processing. Use the Domino security architecture to control who can perform which actions in a database, and who has access to information.
Using templates
You can create out-of-the-box applications by using templates, standardized applications that you customize to provide desired functionality. Domino includes application templates for discussion databases, document libraries, Notes Web Navigators, approval cycles, billing, database catalogs, database analysis, Internet search sites, project management, resource reservation databases, and statistics collections.
Programming support
Database applications, with their embedded LotusScript programming language, @formulas, and @commands, have enormous power and flexibility for programmers. Domino supports:
Lotus C API (Application Programming Interface)c
Provides a set of subroutines and data structures to create programs that access databases.
Lotus C++ APIe
Provides a set of C++ classes that allow programs to access databases.
Lotus HiTest C API
Offers a C interface that is faster and requires less code than the C API.
LotusScript Extensions Toolkit
Expands LotusScript functionality and lets programmers create extensions (custom modules) that load separately and implement one or more LotusScript classes.a
LotusScriptc
Provides a BASIC scripting language with language extensions allowing you to do object-oriented application development. LotusScript interacts with Domino through defined object classes.
NotesSQL
Provides an ODBC driver enabling ODBC-compliant DBMSs and data query tools to access Domino information.

Use the power of Domino to extend database applications to the Internet. By placing an application on a Domino server and allowing browser access to the server and the database, you enable Internet use of the application. For example, you could place an order-tracking database on the Internet to allow customers to check the status of an order.
Internet database applications have additional security and application development considerations. When you plan to place an application on an Internet-accessible Domino server, consider the following security issues:
Anonymous browser access
Set the access level that Web browser clients can have to an application without authenticating their identity. If you do not add an Anonymous entry to the application ACL, all Web browser clients have the Default level of access.
Maximum Internet name & password access
Set the maximum level of access any Web browser client can have to an application.
Default access
Set the Default level of access to the database for all Notes clients and all Web browser clients. If you add an Anonymous entry in the ACL, this sets the level of access for all Web browser clients that do not authenticate with the Domino server. Web browser clients that do authenticate are granted the Default level of access unless they are individually included in the ACL.
Encrypted fields
Web browser clients can view encrypted fields. Do not use encrypted fields to protect data in an application to which Web browser clients will have access.e
To optimize your application for Web access and viewing, see the
Application Developer's Guide

Planning the Domino System
will help you understand how to apply a Domino solution to your business needs. Consider the following issues to avoid false starts, duplicated efforts, and inefficiencies, and help you maximize the return on your investment in Domino.
Assessing business needs
To assess your business needs, consider the following questions:
What information does my organization need to share? e
Consider the flow of information both within and across workgroups and functional areas. Also examine the flow of information vertically within the company and with customers and suppliers.
What information do I want to restrict access to?o
How do I want to make information available? ,
What information exists that is useful but difficult to access?
Consider data stored in paper records, in legacy systems, and knowledge that employees have that is not captured in another form.o
What processes are critical to the success of my organization? u
Which of these processes are "rate-limiting steps," or activities that are the slowest point in a chain?
Who participates in these processes at each step?
It will be important to include these people in process reengineering and in the move to automating the process.
What activities in my organization should be outsourced -- performed by contractors, customers, or suppliers? Conversely, what activities undertaken by customers or suppliers should my organization assume responsibility for?
Assessing technical issues
Technical issues also affect your use of Domino and your ability to share information and reengineer business processes. Consider the following questions:
What platforms does my organization use for its servers, clients, and mainframes? How standardized are these platforms across the organization?o
What platforms do my customers, suppliers, and partners use? How do we handle interoperability and intercommunication issues such as messaging and file sharing?
What software does my organization use to meet its needs, such as word processing, messaging, spreadsheets, databases, and file archiving? How standardized are these programs across the organization?l
What software programs do my customers, suppliers, and partners use? How do we handle interoperability, file exchange, and communication?
How does my organization communicate? Is information flow voice-based (telephony and voice mail), paper-based (memos, letters, faxes), or computer-based (e-mail, discussion forums, document sharing)? If we use a combination of these methods, what is the rationale for each method? l
How should my organization communicate?o
For computer-based communication, what is the backbone of this system (for example, LAN, WAN, Internet)? How easily do different groups connect electronically? What connections exist to the systems of customers, partners, and suppliers? How efficient and reliable are these connections? How does my organization handle remote and mobile communications? m
How does my organization guarantee 24x7 reliability for mission-critical software applications and hardware? a
How does my organization ensure secure communication? How do we ensure the security of a Web site and of activites that occur on it (for example, information exchange via forms, electronic commerce)?o
How does my organization use the Internet? If it has a Web site, how do we maintain that site and ensure that information is up to date? How do we communicate via Internet messaging?e
Success depends on people
Utimately, success depends on your employees. You must plan for the questions, needs, and capabilities of the users on your system. Consider the following questions:r
What is the level of knowledge in my organization regarding computer hardware and software? What is the comfort level of the average user with these tools?
What is the level of knowledge and comfort with computer tools in the organizations of my customers, partners, and suppliers?
How will I train users on the new software? How will I ensure that their questions are answered in the training phase and as they use the system?
How will new users learn the system? How can I design the system to be more intuitive?
How will I migrate users from existing tools to the new software solution? How will I answer their questions, overcome their skepticism, and invest them in using the new system?
How can I convince my customers, partners, and suppliers to move to and use the new system?

Browser clients participate interactively with all Domino features. Domino provides extensive security that allows you to control which Internet users can view and use each part of your site and who has access to your servers from browsers. Create Person documents in the Public Address Book for each Internet user whom you wish to identify individually. Person documents include HTTP passwords, which are encrypted. Authentication between a Domino server and a Web browser takes place via challenge - response and occurs when the browser tries to perform an action for which access is restricted. The browser client must provide the user name and password that match those in a user's Person document. To gain access to data, that user must be included in the database ACL as an individual or a member of a group. You can force users to supply a name and password by appending "&Login" to a URL command, but this is not a true security feature since users can delete &Login from the URL.
Domino allows SSL connections for secure communication with browsers and can act as a Certifying Authority (CA) for SSL certificates. Domino can also send certification requests to third-party CAs.
To prevent anonymous browser access to your Domino servers, select No in the Allow anonymous HTTP connections field of the Security section in the Server document. This negative setting overrides greater permissions for anonymous users in the ACLs of individual databases. To prevent anonymous access to a database, create an entry for Anonymous in the ACL and assign it No Access. You can control the maximum level of access for any user from a browser client with the Maximum Internet name & password access field, which overrides greater permissions in the ACL.
Domino does not allow passthru by browser clients. Browsers can only access databases on the Domino server with which they are connected.i

A Domino intranet makes information readily available to users. It manages the flow of information and tasks, increasing productivity and reducing overhead. Storing knowledge in databases archives it and makes it accessible. It can integrate the Internet into office tasks. Applications on Domino can automate ordering and order processing, call tracking, human resources functions, approval cycles, and many other business functions.
WIth the Domino server, Notes clients, and Domino.Broadcast, you can create a fully-featured intranet. l
Domino and Notes n
Provide knowledge sharing using rich text, multimedia, e-mail, discussion and knowledge-base databases, native Internet access, and integrated calendar, scheduling, and task features.
Create applications that automatically route and process information.
Use replication to synchronize multiple changes to a document and to work while disconnected from the network -- users on the road, in a hotel, at home, or on a plane can still be productive.
Use Notes clients to integrate office suites like Lotus SmartSuite and Microsoft Office -- use Lotus Word Pro
or Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor, and use the Microsoft Internet Explorer component with the Notes Web Navigator to access Internet Explorer through the familiar Notes interface.
Use Lotus Components, enhanced ActiveX controls, to insert charts, graphs, drawings, and spreadsheets directly into a Notes document.
Let users work in one environment to accomplish their tasks.
Domino.Broadcast then lets you "push" information in real time to users' desktops. Send corporate reminders, updates, and questions to users. By clicking a headline or announcement, users access further information from a database. For example, you send a reminder about updating benefits information; when employees click the reminder, Domino opens a Human Resources database and presents them with a form to fill out and update their benefits.
For information on Domino.Broadcast, see the Lotus Web site at http://www.net.lotus.com/action4/broadcast.nsf.

Servers connect to route mail and to replicate databases based on parameters set up in Connection documents in the Public Address Book. Replication requires only one Connection document, but mail routing requires two -- one document for each direction. You can schedule connections at intervals and set a routing threshold -- when a certain number of messages are waiting to be delivered, the servers connect even if a connection is not scheduled. Make sure you replicate the Public Address Book between servers in a domain so that Connection documents are kept up to date.

Using Domino and Notes to manage your employees' calendars and schedule meetings offers significant reduction in overhead and improvements in efficiency. You no longer need to call or e-mail people to determine whether they are available for a meeting. You can reserve a room and all the resources you need from your computer.
The Notes client includes powerful features for managing your calendar and scheduling meetings. Each Notes mail file contains a Calendar view. By creating a Calendar Profile, users enable scheduling and can set up meetings, schedule appointments, and reserve resources such as conference rooms. Users set who can look up information on their free and busy times in the Calendar Profile. With the Free Time system on Domino servers, you can search users' free time slots to find the best time for scheduling a meeting. The Calendar and scheduling features in Notes integrate with other calendar systems such as Lotus Organizer
and IBM OfficeVision
The Free Time system, which manages calendars, schedules, resource reservations, and free time lookups, consists of two server programs: Schedule Manager and Calendar Connector. Schedule Manager creates a Free Time database (BUSYTIME.NSF) that stores information about the free time of every user whose mail file is on that server. Calendar Connector enables Free Time lookups across multiple Notes domains and determines the path between servers for queries.
You can set up a Resource Reservations database to allocate resources to meetings and appointments. This allows users to reserve conference rooms, overhead projectors, videoconferencing equipment, and other resources for a particular time. A Resource Reservations database automates and centralized the process of obtaining a meeting room and other resources.
In large organizations in multiple locations, using the Notes calendar, Free Time system, and Resource Reservations database reduces the administration and time needed for scheduling.
