LANDesk(R) Management Suite v2.x: Server Monitor Usage Tips

CONTENTS
This document discusses common Server Monitor issues. It supplements the
files in LANDesk(R) Management Suite's Readme Viewer.
COMPAQ NETFLEX LAN DRIVERS AND SERVER MONITOR
Unlike other NIC vendors, Compaq NetFlex LAN drivers (CPQ*.LAN) use an
optional, unique method to save registers which may ABEND a file server
when MSM (Novell's Generic Media Support Module) calls
DriverStatisticsChange and alters registers. Versions of Novell's
MONITOR.NLM dated before 1993 uncover this same issue -- trying to view
NetFlex LAN card statistics in MONITOR.NLM causes an immediate ABEND.
Intel's NLMs (NW3AGNT or NW4AGNT), Novell's INSTALL.NLM, NMS, and old
TCPIP NLMs induce the same missing register ABEND.
Fortunately, NLMs can be modified to not require the Compaq LAN driver
to save a register. Intel has modified NW3AGNT and NW4AGNT NLMs to
prevent an ABEND by saving the register instead of asking the LAN driver
to do so. Upgrade to the v2.01 or higher release of LANDesk(R)
Management Suite. Order electronic document 9985, which has the upgrade
form and instructions.
In January 1995, Novell certified LANDesk Management Suite's NLMs with
NetWare* v3.11, v3.12, v4.02, and v4.1 (certification number N-189).
Certification details are available from Novell Labs Faxback 801

SERVER MONITOR DOES NOT STORE INFORMATION FOR MORE THAN ONE PARAMETER
If you select STORE and limit by TIME, Server Monitor will not save the
setting for more than one parameter. You can store information for
multiple parameters using the "Limit by File Size" or "Don't limit"
options.
