OS/2 Warp Version 3, now available with OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4,
continues the OS/2 tradition of providing 32-bit OS/2, DOS, and
Windows software support, enabling you to take full advantage of the
power of your PC while preserving your investment in application
programs. As a stable, mature platform, OS/2 Warp is positioned to
set the standard for ease-of-use and productivity in the worldwide PC
industry.
File and Print Sharing Services
OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 provides the resource sharing
capabilities that you would expect in a world-class network operating
system. Its industry-leading performance allows you to easily
support your department or your entire company. OS/2 Warp Server
allows your clients (DOS, Windows, OS/2 Warp, Windows 95, Windows NT)
to transparently access network files and printers.
OS/2 Warp Server's enhanced GUI allows your LAN administrators,
whether at a central site or in the department, to tailor and manage
your network resources as easily as dragging and dropping an icon.
NetWare File and Print Gateway: The OS/2 Warp Server NetWare Client
for OS/2 Version 2.11 acts as a NetWare File and Print Gateway so
that OS/2 Warp Server clients can use OS/2 Warp Server to access
NetWare servers even if they are not running with the NetWare LAN
protocols.
The NetWare Client for OS/2:
o Supports both NetWare 3 and NetWare 4 servers
o Offers remote program load (RPL) workstation access
o Supports NetWare SFT III (system fault tolerance) for both client
and SPX
o Provides access for up to nine parallel ports
o Supports OS/2 and DOS/Windows private and global sessions and
VMBoot private and global sessions for NetWare 3
NetWare Client for OS/2 includes the following utility programs:
o CX
o LOGIN
o MAP
o NLIST
o NWTOOLS
o Printing from your OS/2 workstation (including NPRINTER)
Simple Integrated Installation
Getting started with OS/2 Warp Server has never been easier.
OS/2 Warp Server's wide-ranging functionality is derived from many
components, which, in previous environments, represented individual
products with individual installations. In OS/2 Warp Server, all
those major functions have been combined within a single, newly
designed install shell that presents a consistent approach. It is
targeted for the novice or experienced user. Among the features of
the install process are:
o A printed manual, Up and Running, is included in the package to
point you in the right direction initially and to act as a
reference later, if needed.
o A basic option menu for first-time users to install OS/2 Warp
Server by answering a minimum of questions.
o An advanced option menu for users who want to tailor their
configuration to specific needs. For this option, all or any
combination of the total menu items may be selected. A
hierarchical approach is used whereby major groupings are
projected first (for example, File and Print Services), followed
by individual functions within the major grouping (for example,
Network SignOn Coordinator).
o Configuration responses are collected during this process and
checked for accuracy and consistency.
o Installation may be local to the installing system or performed
remotely across the LAN. Client functions are often installed on
one or more remote systems.
o After installation, icons are created for each of the functions
installed; these functions can be started by simply clicking on
the icon.
The design objective of OS/2 Warp Server is that it be intuitively
easy to install and use. All components have been designed (and in
some cases re-designed) to conform to the latest IBM standards for
end-user consistency and clarity. Initial reaction from some beta
users confirms that the objectives have been achieved.
OS/2 Warp Server provides the platform upon which the IBM Software
Servers for OS/2 Warp are installed. The key advantage that
OS/2 Warp Server provides over existing LAN server products is the
integrated installation of the Software Servers such as the
Communications Server, Database Server, Internet Connection Server,
and Transaction Server.
Remote Access Services
The Remote Access Services provided in OS/2 Warp Server extend the
"Office LAN" to remote users. Using dial connections (asynchronous,
synchronous, ISDN, or X.25 PAD), remote users can access LAN
(Ethernet or token-ring) resources as if they were physically
connected to the LAN.
The server capabilities provide the security and routing functions
for the Remote Access Clients. Support is provided for LAN
workstations to dial off the LAN and connect to Remote Access
Clients, to another OS/2 Warp Server, or to a LAN Distance(TM)
Connection Server Version 1.1. The Remote Access Services support
multiple simultaneous remote connections. The number of connections
depends on the PC hardware, communications adapter, and type of
remote connectivity. For example, using four Star Gate Avanstar 200
Asynchronous Communications Adapters in a 486 66MHz PC, up to 64
simultaneous asynchronous communications sessions can be supported.
Provided with OS/2 Warp Server are two Remote Access Clients that
allow an OS/2- or Windows-based client to dial into the LAN and
access network resources. These Remote Access Clients provide
transparent access for most LAN applications.
In addition, the Remote Access Clients allow one Remote Access Client
workstation to connect to another Remote Access Client workstation
and establish a virtual LAN. This could be used to allow file and
print sharing between two workstations using peer networking products
such as OS/2 Warp Connect Peer services or Artisoft LANtastic.
Systems Management Services
A comprehensive set of systems management functions for the PC
environment, which includes SystemView, is provided to help lower the
cost of systems ownership. Key functions are:
o Proactive system monitoring
o Hardware and software inventory
o Software distribution
o Remote workstation control
o Event scheduling
o Asset management
o Automated alert actions
o License management
Benefits that contribute to the success of a company's business
include:
o A comprehensive set of features for performing essential business,
change, configuration, operations, performance, and problem
management tasks -- all in one package
o A single point of control from an OS/2 workstation for managing
your distributed system environment
o Investment protection of your existing IBM and non-IBM hardware
and software
o Facilities for sharing and protecting information in an
heterogeneous and distributed environment
In detail, the following functions are available for OS/2 2.1, or
later, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups:
o Network Workstation Discovery
Automatically discover networked workstations and organize them
into logical groups to help simplify management tasks.
o Workstation Hardware Inventory
Detect and report detailed information of a wide variety of
systems, including adapters, SCSI devices, disk drives, memory,
I/O devices, and more. Log this data into a flat file, DB/2, or a
Lotus Notes database.
o Workstation Software Inventory
Discover and collect software information on a system.
o Workstation Monitoring
View statistics on workstation performance, status, threshold
settings, and monitoring activities. Trigger alert from changes
to workstation hardware, Predictive Failure Analysis(TM) of
hardware problems, and other conditions.
o Remote Workstation Control
Control or monitor workstations remotely, view/edit system files,
transfer files, and execute programs.
o Scheduling
Free up your busy system administrator by scheduling events such
as software distribution, system reboot, and inventory during off
hours to minimize disruption, system down time, and lost user
productivity.
o Security
Control each remote workstation "service" individually by a userid
and password.
o Alert Manager
Process alerts locally on the workstation where the alert was
generated or centrally at the manager. Automatically execute a
command or script, log the alert, pop up a message, convert the
alert to an SNMP trap, or forward the alert to another manager.
o System Profile
Enter administrative information about each network workstation,
such as name of workstation user, phone number, and department.
o License Management
Ensure compliance with software licensing agreement according to
the established company policy. Provide the means to monitor and
control use of license-enabled applications (that have been
enabled for License Use Management).
o Software Distribution
Distribute and install both CID- and non-CID-enabled applications.
CID is an IBM-specified way to install and configure products on,
or remove products from, remote workstations and hosts while
keeping user interactions with the product to a minimum.
o Software Distribution Preparation
Use easy interface for CID response file and packages preparation.
o Application Sharing
Allow LAN users to access and run applications installed on an
applications server.
Enhanced Communications including TCP/IP -- Dynamic IP
OS/2 Warp Server is supported by a significantly enhanced
communications subsystem known as Adapters and Protocols Services,
which consists of four parts:
o CID Utilities
o Adapter Drivers
o Protocol Support
o TCP/IP Services
The CID Utilities are the same as those provided in previous LAN
server transports.
o Service Installable File System (SRVIFS) -- provides a file
redirection facility on a LAN for the CID environment that enables
client access to a code server, and, consequently, access to
installation diskette images.
o LAN CID Utility (LCU) -- enables the Multi-protocol Transport
Services (MPTS) installation diskette images to be installed and
configured at a client workstation from a code server and supports
the installation of other OS/2 CID-enabled products.
Adapter driver support is constantly being extended. Other vendors'
adapters certified for conformity to the NDIS interface are supported
either with drivers shipped with the transport or provided by the
vendor. To obtain a list of supported adapters from CompuServe or
the Internet, refer to Compatibility.
For protocol support, NetBIOS continues to be available. Also, the
BSD 4.3 Sockets API and associated TCP/IP protocol are included for
users who require the many public domain applications available or
who want to gradually migrate to TCP/IP networks. New applications
can be written to this 32-bit Sockets API and used natively on TCP/IP
or NetBIOS networks, both LANs and WANs. TCP/IP Services is further
dramatically enhanced by the introduction of "Dynamic IP."
TCP/IP support is provided for Internet's request for comment (RFC)
1001/1002, which allows the use of NetBIOS applications -- including
File and Print Sharing Services and OS/2 File and Print Client --
over TCP/IP. Users may, therefore, change their LANs to TCP/IP and
link them to a TCP/IP WAN and run server/client across the combined
network, as well as other legacy NetBIOS and new Sockets
applications. Enhancements have been made to contain the NetBIOS
broadcasts on the LAN to manageable proportions.
TCP/IP Services provides Dynamic IP, which simplifies both IP host
network access and IP network administration and overcomes many of
the inherent weaknesses of traditional IP networks. Consequently,
Dynamic IP facilitates smooth network operation and change. It is
also well suited for supporting the networking of mobile hosts.
Dynamic IP utilizes only open standard networking technologies.
Therefore, Dynamic IP hosts are fully compatible with and fully
interoperate with existing IP network hosts.
Benefits of Dynamic IP include:
o "Automatic" IP network access
Dynamic IP hosts -- those hosts with IBM Dynamic IP client
software installed -- automatically configure themselves to access
IP networks without requiring predefined information about the
network addressing scheme or the availability of routers or name
servers at the point of network attachment. Hosts are now free to
move about the network and attach at arbitrary points without user
or administrator intervention. Dynamic IP also enables other
hosts in the network to locate Dynamic IP hosts at their current
points of attachment by maintaining always-current host name to IP
address mappings in the Domain Name System (DNS). This
"follow-me" feature of Dynamic IP is well suited for laptops and
other mobile computers.
o Simplified IP network administration
Dynamic IP greatly simplifies the job of assuring that IP hosts
are configured for current network operation. It does this by
providing configuration information about a network and its hosts
from a central server. Because the current manual process of
reconfiguring hosts on a network is tedious, time-consuming,
error-prone, and, in some cases, disruptive to network operations,
Dynamic IP can save administrators significant time, energy, and
risk in instituting changes in IP networks. Further, because
Dynamic IP hosts maintain their own DNS mapping in a new, dynamic
DNS server, those DNS server entries become "self-maintaining,"
thus reducing administrator's workload even further.
o Compatibility
Dynamic IP supports current Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) clients,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients and servers,
and DNS resolvers and servers. Similarly, Dynamic IP DNS servers
"plug" seamlessly into existing DNS server hierarchies within
enterprises. Further, Dynamic IP hosts use existing network
routing infrastructures and require only that BootP relay agents
be present on those subnets where a Dynamic IP server is not
present. These relay agents, sometimes called "BootP helpers,"
are widely available in today's IP router products.
o Extendibility
Dynamic IP can be extended to include user-definable data and
programs in ways that simplify the administration of these
customer-specific application environments in the same way it
simplifies the administration of IP networking environments.
o Open Standards
Dynamic IP reflects IBM's ongoing commitment to the use of open
networking standards. All protocols employed by Dynamic IP
conform to TCP/IP standards generated by IETF working groups and
specified in official IETF RFCs and Internet drafts.
Other standard protocols used are:
o DHCP
DHCP provides a framework for passing configuration information to
hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the BootP, adding the
capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses
and additional configuration options. DHCP captures the behavior
of BootP relay agents, and DHCP participants can interoperate with
BootP participants.
o Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
Today's DNS servers support only queries on a statically
configured database. The Dynamic DNS protocol defines extensions
to the DNS to enable those servers to accept requests to update
the DNS database dynamically. These extensions provide support
for adding and deleting a set of names and associated resource
records within a single zone automatically. DNS security
extensions featuring fail-safe RSA digital signature technology
are used to authenticate hosts that request to enter or change
entries in the DDNS server database. IBM is the first company to
introduce products that support DDNS and associated DNS security
extensions.
Multiple TCP/IP applications supported:
o PING
o DHCP
o Web Explorer
o Ultimail Lite
o Gopher Client
o News Reader/2
o Telnet PM
o PMANT
o FTPPM
o LPR/LPD
o SNMP
o PPP (Client)
Backup and Recovery Services
No one disputes the requirement for making periodic backups of vital
data to guard against the possibility of minor machine failures or
catastrophic disasters. This applies particularly to data on the
server that may be shared by and affect multiple users.
OS/2 Warp Server's Backup and Recovery support for the server makes
these tasks easy and, if required, largely automatic. Services
provided include:
o Backup and recovery of files and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
o Backup can be planned ahead of time to include all files,
specified files, or just those files that have changed since last
time.
o Backups can be scheduled to take place automatically at given
times or frequencies, even if other work is taking place at the
time.
o Manual backups can be taken at any time.
o Storage devices supported: diskette, SCSI tape, read/write
optical, hard disk, or LAN (Alias), plus remote-mounted drives and
ADSM services. Refer to Hardware Requirements for a complete list
of supported backup media.
o Backed-up data may be compressed at densities two to one or
greater; and the procedures manage the volumes created, relieving
the user of the need to do this.
o The support comes with an innovative design that includes a
strikingly easy-to-use GUI with drag-and-drop technology that
integrates into the OS/2 Warp Server desktop.
o Sounds in the form of .WAV files may be associated with any system
event, providing you with the ability to audibly describe them.
o Files may be restored by simply clicking on the ones desired --
the rest is automatic.
o For disaster recovery you can build a bootable set of diskettes to
fully recover OS/2 Warp Server and all its files and ACLs for many
of the supported media.
In short, the backup and recovery support is flexible, easy, and
largely automated. There are no more excuses for being unable to
access vital data.
Advanced Print Services
Advanced Print Services, based on the PSF(TM)/2 program product,
brings host-like printer support to the LAN, including support for
PostScript documents on selected non-PostScript printers.
Advanced Print Services provides the following capabilities:
o Support for up to 16 printers simultaneously, ranging from 4 to
300 impressions per minute.
o Seamlessly print output on a variety of printers connected to the
Server, including AFP(TM) printers, HP LaserJet, and compatible
printers.
o Support for the most popular input application datastreams
including PostScript, HP-PCL, and AFP.
o Convert PostScript Level 1 + 2 into PCL for printing on native PCL
printers (no PostScript support required in printer). Take
advantage of new PostScript level 2 applications without upgrading
your printers.
o Convert PostScript or PCL for printing on native AFP printers at
speeds up to 300 ppm with full error recovery. Since PostScript
processing is done by Advanced Print Services, not in the printer,
it will print most PostScript files faster on a non-PostScript
printer, saving time and money.
o Change printers without changing the print driver.
- Add, change, or reconfigure printers without affecting end
users.
o Fully manage jobs sent from OS/2 and DOS/Windows workstations.
- Easily re-route print files from one printer to another.
o The AFP data stream is the defacto standard datastream for
high-speed printing and is supported by most high-speed printer
vendors. AFP is a highly efficient, multi-use datastream,
providing a single file format for printing, viewing, and
archiving. Users will realize 3x and more file size reduction
with many applications when compared to PostScript or PCL.
OS/2 Warp Server is the only PC server that fully supports AFP and
provides utilities to easily create AFP print files from your
existing applications.
o Take advantage of the advanced AFP job management capabilities
such as accounting, auditing, and page-level error recovery.
Advanced Print Services provides the most complete set of error
recovery and printer resource management capabilities available.
o With appropriate SNA host connections installed on the OS/2 Warp
Server, submit print jobs in PostScript, HP-PCL, or AFP from
OS/2 Warp Server clients to AFP printers on remote 390 MVS(R) and
VM host systems.
o With the Client Access product installed on the OS/2 Warp Server,
submit print jobs in PostScript, HP-PCL, or AFP from OS/2 Warp
Server clients to AFP printers on remote OS/400(R) systems.
Advanced Print Services also supports PostScript, HP-PCL, and HP-PGL
files in passthrough mode, permitting end users to send all print
files to a single printer destination. An administrator can
configure Advanced Print Services to reroute jobs directly to the
proper local queue or port and avoid unnecessary processing when the
application datastream is supported by the printer. Note that
PostScript printers are only supported in passthrough mode.
Note: TCP/IP attachment capability is included in OS/2 Warp Server
for AFP/IPDS(TM) printers.
Application Server Support
OS/2 Warp Server significantly enhances the application-serving
capabilities of the NOS. Not only can LAN users access and use
applications stored on the server, but the administration of
applications both on the server and on individual workstations is
much facilitated. Some of the services provided (through the System
Management Services component) include:
o Software Preparation: A GUI is available for setting up software
for distributing to end users. Distribution can be automatic or
made available to selected clients to download on request to OS/2
and Windows clients.
o Software Maintenance: The discovery functions can automatically
detect and record the application software installed with each end
user together with its maintenance level. Procedures can be set
up to prepare for updates as appropriate.
o Software Distribution: The capability is provided to perform
distribution in cooperation with the related Domain Manager Change
Control function on either an automatic or on-request basis.
o License Management: A tool is provided to allow administrators to
monitor the use of enabled software packages to ensure that the
license conditions are not being abused.
The effect of these functions is to provide a more complete,
consistent, efficient, and cost-saving approach to application
sharing. Control rests with the administrator who is in a much
better position to ensure that all users are provided for easily and
effectively.
OS/2 WARP SERVER ADVANCED, VERSION 4
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, Version 4 extends the function provided in
OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 by including:
o High Performance File System (HPFS386)
o Fault tolerance -- mirroring and duplexing
o Enhanced Pentium optimization
o Disk limit administration
Descriptions of these additional features and functions follow.
o High Performance File System (HPFS386) -- This is a non-FAT file
system and provides a higher level of performance than OS/2's
HPFS. The HPFS supports partition sizes up to 64GB. The HPFS
gets the most performance out of the server machine, protecting
your hardware investment.
o Fault Tolerant -- The RAID 1 implementation, available for HPFS
partitions, allows for the mirroring of disks to provide backup in
the event of a system problem. Hot-swappable disks in a disk
array are supported, provided they are supported by the hardware.
Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems are supported for
momentary power outages. Additional RAID 0-5 support is available
through additional products. OS/2 Warp Server Advanced supports
high availability in the event of a hardware or power failure.
o Enhanced Pentium optimization -- OS/2 Warp Server Advanced takes
advantage of high-performance hardware servers, protecting your
investment in Pentium-equipped hardware.
o Disk Limits -- Allows the administration of limits on server disk
resources at the subdirectory level to insure users do not exceed
their authorized allocation of file space. Thresholds can be set
to notify a user prior to exceeding the limit. By setting
appropriate limits, a user who might use all the server's disk
space will be controlled and will be the only user experiencing an
apparent out-of-space condition. Without disk limits, all users
would receive an "out of disk space" or "disk full" message with
this previous scenario. Disk limits provided by OS/2 Warp Server
Advanced, Version 4 provide DASD control by the LAN administrator,
reducing disk-full errors.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE ON SEPARATE CD
Included with the OS/2 Warp Server product on a separate CD are the
following tools:
o NetWare to OS/2 Warp Server Migration Utility
o Hewlett-Packard (HP) Network Printer Support
o Lexmark Network Printer Support
o AskPSP
o SNMP and DMI Agents for SystemView(R)
o Mobile File Sync
o Software Registration Tool (Axtive)
These tools are designed to enhance usability. Descriptions of these
tools follow.
Novell NetWare to IBM LAN Server Migration Utility:
The NetWare to LAN Server Migration Utility assists users who want to
migrate from a NetWare 2.x or 3.x network operating system to IBM's
32-bit OS/2 LAN Server 3.0, 4.0, and OS/2 Warp Server. It allows
users to migrate as much or as little information as desired.
Moreover, resources added to the LAN Server can be defined as aliases
long before the actual migration takes place. Users and groups and
their descriptions can be migrated, and access rights will be at
least equivalent to those defined on the NetWare server. There are
two migration paths. The first is non-destructive, which will allow
you to set up a test environment without affecting your production
NetWare file server. The second offers you the capability to
directly migrate an existing NetWare file server when additional
hardware is not available for more robust testing.
HP and Lexmark Network Print Utilities:
o JetAdmin for OS/2 LAN Server by Hewlett-Packard
JetAdmin enables you to easily install, configure, query, and
troubleshoot network-attached HP printers from your OS/2 Warp
desktop. JetAdmin is fully integrated with OS/2 Warp, the
Enhanced OS/2 Warp Spooler, and OS/2 LAN Server. This integration
provides users with a standard view of printer and jobs status
through the OS/2 printer object in the OS/2 Workplace(TM) Shell.
Furthermore, JetAdmin is a Workplace Shell(R) application that is
launched from the OS/2 printer object. This provides a consistent
"look and feel" that significantly enhances the usability of the
solution.
This solution allows you to:
- Support HP network-attached printers that are connected using
token-ring or Ethernet.
- See the actual status of your print jobs throughout the
printing process.
- Receive true end-of-job notification. No more wasted trips to
the printer!

- Restart your print job after the last page successfully printed
in the event of a printer error. This saves valuable printer
resources, such as paper and toner, and speeds throughput since
users do not wait for a large print job to be completely
reprinted.
- Specify a range of pages to print in a print-ready document.
For example, submit a 100-page PostScript file to print and
then choose to only print pages 10 to 20 rather than the entire
document.
- Conveniently access and set up network ports for HP
network-attached printers from the OS/2 printer object.
HP JetAdmin features vary depending on the level of functionality
of the HP JetDirect print server or the peripheral devices. HP
JetAdmin fully supports the functions of the advanced network
printing solution in OS/2 Warp Server for all printers that are
highlighted above.
This solution makes you more productive by giving you the tools to
remotely manage network-attached printers from your OS/2 Warp
desktop. You no longer have to go to the printer or print server
to determine status or to isolate problems. You increase your
productivity by receiving printer and job status on your OS/2 Warp
desktop.

printer through the MarkVision GUI.
- Reduce network traffic by centralizing control and setup of
your network-attached printers on an OS/2 Warp Server print
server. You can also control access to your network-attached
printers by using OS/2 Warp Server's security services.
- View the capabilities of your network-attached printers using
the MarkVision GUI.
- Assign more than the previous limit of 24 printers to an OS/2
Warp Server print server. MarkVision has no pre-determined
limit for the number of network-attached printers per server.
However, for performance reasons, it is recommended that
customers distribute their printers evenly among the available
servers in the network.
- Manage your network-attached printers using IBM's NetView.
- Collect, store, and view a summary of job statistics
information for any job printed on your Lexmark Optra
LaserPrinter.
- View printer statistics.
- Conveniently access and set up network printer ports for
Lexmark network-attached printers from the OS/2 printer object.
MarkVision provides all of its status monitoring capabilities
without polling the printer. Since the printer initiates the
alert message to the host where MarkVision is running, network
traffic is kept to an absolute minimum. This is done by using
protocol standard IEEE P1284.1, sometimes referred to as the
Network Printing Alliance Protocol (NPAP). Lexmark is one of the
founding members of this alliance.
MarkVision supports the Lexmark Optra Family and 4039 plus family
of printers attached to MarkNet XL or XLe network adapter.
This solution makes you more productive by giving you the tools to
remotely manage network-attached printers from your OS/2 Warp
desktop. You no longer have to go to the printer or print server
to determine status or to isolate problems. You increase your
productivity by receiving printer and job status on your OS/2 Warp
desktop.
For more information on Lexmark's MarkVision, read README.1ST
located in directory /BPIU/MARKVISN on OS/2 Warp Server CD 2.
AskPSP
OS/2 Warp Server comes with its own built-in Help Desk. AskPSP is an
expert system that can answer many of the more frequently encountered
questions and problems that you may run into when using your
workstation in the OS/2 Warp Server environment for the first time.
This will aid learning and save you much time. You pose the
question; may come back for additional information to narrow the
possibilities; and it provides you with possible solutions. Support
is provided for:
o OS/2 Warp 3.0
o File and Print Sharing Services
o Remote Access Services
o Advanced Print Services
o TCP/IP Services
o Adapters and Protocols Services
o Backup and Recovery Services
SNMP/DMI Agent
OS/2 Warp Server provides a SystemView Agent that conforms to the
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) to allow SNMP management of
DMI-compliant hardware and software components. Specific subagents
are included to allow the management of IBM OS/2 (including
OS/2 Warp); IBM Communications Manager/2; IBM OS/2 LAN Server
(Versions 3.0 and 4.0) and LAN Requester; and DB2/2(TM). Components
can be managed by any SNMP management platform, such as IBM's
SystemView for AIX and NetView for OS/2.
Mobile File Sync (MFS)
MFS is a client-mode utility that was first distributed with the
AttachPak for OS/2 Warp Connect and has now been updated to improve
its performance. It enables client users to physically disconnect
from the server and still have access to their (stored) Server files.
Users can read or modify existing files, create new files or
directories, or delete existing ones. Reconnection to the server
automatically updates the server. MFS provides extensive conflict
detection and resolution of any files changed on the server or the
client.
Software Registration (Axtive)
IBM encourages you to register as an OS/2 Warp Server user so we may
better serve you as developments occur. Accordingly, we have
included a registration tool to facilitate this action. At initial
install or at your convenience later, if desired, you are encouraged
to send us appropriate details of yourself and your organization.
You are given the options of registering directly using a modem or by
responding by telephone, fax, or mail.

Use-Based Charging Structure
OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 Warp Server Advanced contain features that
are subject to separate use-based charges. You must acquire one UBF
for each user (UserID) registered to use or access Chargeable
Services (defined below). This access may be to one or more
OS/2 Warp Servers within your enterprise and to OS/2 LAN Servers or
OS/2 LAN Distance Connection Servers within your enterprise.
The total number of users accessing Chargeable Services cannot exceed
the number authorized by the applicable Proof of Entitlement. If the
total number exceeds the number in the Proof of Entitlement, you must
notify IBM or its reseller to purchase more UBFs as stated in the
IPLA.
Notes:
o OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 Warp Server Advanced each contain one
UBF Proof of Entitlement as part of the product package.
o OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 Warp Server Advanced additional licenses
also contain a UBF Proof of Entitlement.
o A customer is entitled to one OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 UBF for
each OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3 Proof of Entitlement. No further
customer action is required.
o The total number of users accessing the OS/2 Warp Servers in an
enterprise is equal to the number of UBFs plus the number of
OS/2 Warp Connect Proofs of Entitlement.
The use of pooling or multiplexing hardware (or software) that
reduces the number of users directly accessing or utilizing
Chargeable Services does not reduce the number of UBFs required. The
number of UBFs required equals the number of distinct users accessing
or utilizing the pooling or multiplexing software or hardware "front
end."
The following are defined as Chargeable Services:
o File and Print Sharing Services (the sharing/managing of files
and/or disk storage and/or printers)
o Systems Management Services (the gathering and distributing of

to call the 16-bit APIs. Microsoft C Version 6.0 is also supported.
Problems resulting from compiler errors must be reported to the
appropriate vendor.
Hardware Adapter Support: Multiple adapter support consists of the
ability to manage up to four logical networks concurrently.
Token-ring and Ethernet adapters are supported. The multiple adapter
support is expected to be used primarily on servers; however, this
support is available on OS/2 requesters as well. A maximum of 254
NetBIOS sessions are supported per adapter card. With four adapters,
up to 1,000 NetBIOS sessions are supported. Using a single adapter,
TCPBEUI can support up to 1,000 sessions. In either case, the
maximum number of sessions supported is 1,000.
The OS/2 Warp Server's support of the Network Device Interface
Specification (NDIS) makes it possible to support many LAN adapter
cards with NDIS-compliant device drivers. Some drivers for the
OS/2 environment are shipped with OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 and
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, Version 4 for the supported LAN adapters.
The NDIS interface is publicly documented and supported. In addition
to support of the documented NDIS-compliant adapters, a Loop Back
driver is included for communication back to the same system. These
NDIS-compliant adapters are documented on CompuServe. Refer to
Hardware Requirements for details on how to retrieve the list of
currently supported adapters.
Remote IPL Support: Servers providing the Remote IPL service can be
equipped with any adapter supported by OS/2 Warp Server, Version 4 or
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, Version 4.
Remote IPL requesters must be equipped with at least one of the
network adapter types that supports RIPL.
In addition to the OS/2 Versions that were previously supported by
Remote IPL, the following OS/2 versions are also supported.
o OS/2 Warp 3.0 with WIN-OS/2
o OS/2 Warp Connect for Windows (base operating system only)
o OS/2 Warp Connect with WIN-OS/2 (base operating system only)
o OS/2 Warp Server (base operating system only)
IBM DOS 7.0 has been added to the list of DOS versions supported.
LAN Adapter Support: A list of supported adapters are available on
several online forums such as CompuServe. Refer to this list for
adapter support that best suits your needs. Refer to Hardware
Requirements for CompuServe access information.

Notes:
1. Remote access to serial devices is not supported.
2. The network administrator defines a user ID that matches the
machine name of the PCLP Base Services workstation. When the
workstation issues a NET USE command, the machine name is
validated against the defined user IDs.
3. Peer Services for DOS and OS/2 are limited to sharing with one
client at a time (single session). The Peer module of OS/2 Warp
Connect may share services with multiple clients.
4. Administrative capability from the DOS File and Print Client is
available only from the File and Print Sharing Services API. A
large number of categories that support remote network
administration are supported.
5. In addition to the API support described above, File and Print
Services for OS/2 Warp Server includes the NET ADMIN command,
which allows full command line administration of File and Print
Sharing Services.
6. PCLP and Microsoft servers cannot be defined with a File and Print
Sharing Services domain; access to those resources are
cross-domain.
7. PCLP is available on single-byte character set (SBCS) systems
only.
8. Partial administration function only.
9. Function available in base product.
10. Command line administration via NET ADMIN only.
11. No serial device support.
Restrictions: Mixing and matching network componentry from different
levels of products is not supported. For example, OS/2 LAN Requester
4.0 is not supported by OS/2 Warp Server MPTS.
If any network component is upgraded with a like network component
from OS/2 Warp Server, all network components must be upgraded to
OS/2 Warp Server. For example, if MPTS is upgraded on an OS/2 LAN
Requester 4.0, then the requester must be upgraded to OS/2 Warp
Server File and Print Client at the same time. Related OS/2 Warp
Server client components include:
o MPTS
o File and Print
o Systems Management
o Remote LAN Access
For DOS and Windows, related client components are:
o DOS File and Print
o Systems Management
o Remote LAN Access
o LSP
o TCP/IP
Limitations:
o Password Coordination support on TCP/IP
Password Coordination does not support TCP/IP directly. The
TCPBEUI supported by OS/2 Warp Server can be utilized by Password
Coordination indirectly via UPM. Any logon/logoff supported by
UPM can be performed by or through the UPM APIs.
o RIPL over TCP/IP
RIPL support is not available for OS/2 File and Print Client when
used over TCP/IP.
o Backup and Recovery Services
For Backup and Recovery some application files may require special
treatment. If, for example, the application has constant write
access to files or has other complex processes, backup/recovery
may best be accomplished within the application using APIs
provided by the ADSM product for this purpose. Also note that for
disaster recovery, LAN, remote, or ADSM drives are not supported.
o Systems Management Services
- Windows 95, DOS, and Macintosh are not supported.
- License management is not supported on clients with IPX
Protocol.
- License management is not supported on Windows clients.
- Software Distribution function does not work on serial
connection.
- Cross-platform/cross domain management is not supported. For
example, Systems Management Services cannot manage other
Enterprise agents such as NV/6000 agents on AIX or NVDM agents
on OS/2 or MVS.
Performance Considerations: The File and Print Services runs as much
as 14% faster than OS/2 LAN Server 4.0, thanks to improvements in
OS/2 Warp, Version 3 over OS/2, Version 2.11.
A new TCP/IP protocol stack that includes TCPBEUI functionality for
DOS File and Print and Windows clients has significantly improved
performance over OS/2 LAN Server 4.0. It is now close enough to
NetBEUI performance for file and print functions that most users will
not observe a difference between them.
Also, included is a new Protect Mode TCPBEUI protocol stack for the
DOS and Windows clients that provides good performance and uses no
conventional memory.
Planning Information
The following information is provided as a guideline for determining
the number of OS/2 Warp Server services and number of users that can
be supported given the processor/MHz, amount of memory, and size of
the hard disk:
.--------------------+----------------------+-----------------.
| | | |
| Configuration | Services Supported | Number of Users |

| - 16MB RAM | Advanced) | running File |
| - 160MB Hard Disk | - Backup and Recovery| and Print or |
| (plus user disk | services | Backup and |

|--------------------+----------------------+-----------------|
| Typical: | - File and Print | Medium to Large |
| - Intel-compatible | Sharing | LAN: |
| 486/66, or better| - Advanced | - 40-100 users |
| - 24-32MB RAM | - Backup and Recovery| running 2-3 |
| - 212MB Hard Disk | - Either: | services |
| (plus user disk | - Remote Access or | |
| space) | - Advanced Print | |
|--------------------+----------------------+-----------------|
| Full: | - File and Print | Medium to Large |
| - Intel-compatible | Sharing | LAN: |
| Pentium/90, or | - Advanced | - 100-300 users |
| better | - Backup and Recovery| running |
| - 48-64MB RAM | - Remote Access | multiple |
| - 264MB Hard Disk | - Advanced Print | services |
| (plus user disk | - Systems Management | |

|--------------------------------+-------------+--------------|
| Note: |
| When estimating memory requirements, it is essential to make|
| a provision for all services that might reside in OS/2 Warp |
| Server at any one time in order to obtain optimal |
| performance. However, most programs require more memory |
| during start-up than during normal operation. Sizing for |
| these peaks will result in very good performance but at a |
| high cost. The performance reserve number is sized to |
| remove most, but not all, start-up peak memory requirements,|
| trading off memory for start-up time. One can choose to |
| accept slower start-up times for smaller performance reserve|
| memory requirements, if desired. The numbers above reflect |
| the memory requirements for normal operations for a minimum |
| configuration system and estimates for a multi-client |
| configuration when the two can be significantly different. |
| Add the memory requirements for the services you want to run|
| concurrently to estimate your total OS/2 Warp Server memory |
| requirements. |

'--------------------------------------------------------'
OS/2 Warp Server Memory Requirements for DOS or Windows File and
Print Clients: The amount of memory needed for DOS or Windows File
and Print clients is determined by the size of the applications being
used and/or the operating system requirements, if any of the Windows
operating systems is used. An important consideration is how much of
the memory below 640KB is free after the client is loaded. Refer to
the table in Customer Responsibilities to estimate this remaining
memory based on your configuration of transport, redirector, and DOS
version.
To assist customers in planning the configuration of their DOS File
and Print Client, the following matrix is provided to show memory
options available.
Note: The amount of free memory available will vary depending on your
specific hardware configuration and which, if any, memory managers
are used. The following numbers are representative but should not be
considered precise. Relative comparisons of transports, redirectors,
and DOS versions can be made.
