How do I get the LMU documentation? :ANSWER. The most current LMU documentation is available on the distribution diskettes. See the READ.ME for instructions on how to install and view it. LMU hardcopy documentation is available from Mechanicsburg (or other manual distribution points). Order numbers are: G221-3891-00 Brochure SC30-3555-03 LMU User's Guide SC30-3603-00 LMU Messages SC30-3637-00 Getting Started LIST3820 versions of the LAN NetView Management Utilities books, or previous LMU/2 books, are NOT available. :from.Denny Colvin RALVM12(DWCOLVIN) ----- LMU2 ANSWERS appended at 15:51:43 on 93/08/02 GMT (by DWCOLVIN at RALVMM) :ndx.LMU2-002 :abs.LMU0030E Starting LMUSRV with LS 3.0 :key.LMU0030E LMUSRV mailslot :QUESTION. I receive the following message when trying to start the LMU/2 Managing System code (LMUSRV) with LAN Server 3.0: LMU0030E DosMakeMailslot failed for mailslot /MAILSLOT/LMU.SRV; rc = 87 What's wrong? :ANSWER. LS 3.0 made an incompatible change to the mailslot APIs. They have fixed this problem via APAR IC04600. You can get this APAR by calling 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378) and requesting it from LAN Server (not LMU/2!!). Those outside the US should contact their corresponding support centers to request the fix from LAN Server Support in the US. Meanwhile, if you are not supporting any LMU/2 Version 1 nodes, you can bypass this problem by simply starting LMUSRV before you start LAN Server (note that LAN Requester must be started before LMUSRV). You will still see an informational message from LMUSRV indicating that LMU/2 Version 1 nodes are not supported -- just ignore this message. :from.Denny Colvin RALVMM(DWCOLVIN) ----- LMU2 ANSWERS appended at 16:02:12 on 93/08/02 GMT (by DWCOLVIN at RALVMM) :ndx.LMU2-003 :abs.NetWare server cannot find public symbol: __CHK :key.__CHK NetWare Novell LMUBNDCS.NLM :QUESTION. I am trying to set up LMU/2 on my Novell Netware 3.11 Server. Installation goes fine using an OS/2 Netware Requester, but when I go to the server to execute the customization program I get messages as follows: Loading module LMUBNDCS.NLM LMUBNDCS Loader cannot find public symbol: __CHK Load file referenced undefined public variable. Module LMUBNDCS.NLM NOT loaded :ANSWER. The cause of the problem is a glitch in the CLIB.NLM that is shipped with the base NetWare 3.11 package. A requestable package is available that gives you the NLM updates you need to install on your NetWare server prior to LMU/2 customization.

How do I get the latest update to LMU/2 V2? :ANSWER. The latest LMU/2 CSD is available on OS2CSD (worldwide) as LMU2CSD. This CSD may be applied only to purchased (not demo or the old OS2PROD) versions of LMU/2. :from.Denny Colvin RALVMM(DWCOLVIN) ----- LMU2 ANSWERS appended at 13:20:53 on 93/10/05 GMT (by DWCOLVIN at RALVM12) :ndx.LMU2-006 :abs.NetBIOS resources :key.netbios X'38' :QUESTION. Why do I get NetBIOS return code x'38' when running LMU2 V2? :ANSWER. You are running out of NetBIOS resources (names, commands (NCBs) or sessions. All NetBIOS resources are allocated one of two ways: - with EE, they are allocated from the comm manager .CFG file - with ES 1.0 (and all versions of LS), they are allocated from the PROTOCOL.INI file in the \IBMCOM directory LAN requester is a user of these resources and he gets his share of this pie from the netx statement in the IBMLAN.INI file. Whatever remains are the resources available to all other applications that allocate and use NetBIOS resources directly. These are the numbers reported in LANTRAN.LOG. There are several applications that allocate these resources: e.g. LAN Network Manager, LAN Station Manager, and Remote Data Services in DBM. LMU/2 V1 used a few sessions/commands/names and LMU/2 V2 uses more depending upon what functions are in use (in the V2 guide we recommend having 20 each of sessions/commands/names available for LMU/2 managing stations). If you want to see what NetBIOS resources are allocated and in use by various applications, get LAPSDUMP from OS2TOOLS and run it on your workstation. Now let me address your specific question. I'll bet a cookie that your managing system with database has DBM installed with Remote Data Services. When LMUSRV comes up it starts DBM and RDS allocates its NetBIOS resources (whether you use RDS or not). After DBM takes its piece of the pie, there is nothing left for LMUSRV and thus the x38. One thing you can do is remove RDS. Another is to allocate more resources in PROTOCOL.INI. The ES 1.0 READ.ME talks about the resources required for various configurations. It indicates that a database server needs 32/45/4 sessions/commands/names (seems like I've seen it higher). From your description and assuming you have no other applications that allocate resources directly, I would say 200/200/50 is a minimum allocation for you. :from.Denny Colvin RALVM12(DWCOLVIN)
