RE: Novice AS400

My thought is that you may want to to put an entry for
"myservername.mydomainname.com.au" in the HOSTS or LMHOSTS file on your PC.
On mine it is the LMHOSTS file and the entry looks like this:

192.168.1.1     myservername.mydomainname.com.au        #PRE

Can you do a successful CWBPING from a DOS window using both the short name
and the fully qualified name?

example: C:\>CWBPING myservername.mydomainname.com.au

If both CWBPING's are successful check your host table (CFGTCP option 10 and
verify that you have both the short name AND the fully qualified name there.
It should look similar to this:

192.168.1.1             myservername
                        myservername.mydomainname.com.au

Also check CFGTCP option 12 for the correct Host and Domain names.  (IIRC a
missing domain name here can cause this problem.)

Host name  . . . . . . . . . . .   'MYSERVERNAME'     
Domain name  . . . . . . . . . .   'MYDOMAINNAME.COM.AU' 

Hope this helps,

Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 4, Issue 120






In 1979, I had just moved to SFO to go to work for a company whose founder 

was an electrical engineer (you all might recognize the double D logo on 
your tape decks, movie trailers, etc.). We were at the IBM data center 
getting a demo of the S/34 when Mr. D asked the salesman about the effects 

of a power failure on the computer. The rep said that it would not be a 
problem. Mr. D said OK, and pulled the plug from the wall. You should have 

seen the look on the rep's face! The SE (remember them?) fired up the 
machine and restarted the MAPICS demo with the AXZPX0 command, and bailed 
out the sales rep. Mr. D took out his checkbook and paid for the system on 

the spot.

I couldn't find the 810 but I suspect, these manuals
will get you by...

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/v5r1hwpdf/pdf/model820.htm

I would NEVER install any hardware while the system is powered up,
with the exception of concurrent swaps on DASD which are designed
to be done "hot".

The manuals will be clear on that...

If you can get to a command line through the console. You need to issue two

Hi,



I have recently purchased a second hand AS400 do use as an

experimental development machine using Magic.



I am a complete novice when in comes to this machine and this is the

first time I had ever actually laid a hand on one.



Very exciting learning curve. I have poured over Red Books and the net

and slowly making headway. I suppose I should do a course but the cost
would

be way out of my league.



Anyway,

I have come up against a problem and I am now at a loss.



The machine is a 170 / 2290 running V5R1.



After a lot of experimentation, reading, purchase of book (from the USA as
I
could not find on

here in Perth) etc I am stumped.



I am trying to get the Operations Navigator working.



I have worked through numerous problems wit respect to TCP/IP, hosts just
to
be able to ping into

and out of the machine. Finally got all that working.



I initially was running QCTL and although I could ping in and out I could
not get a screen displayed

when using Personal Communications AS/400 Client Access Express for
Windows.
Also, I could not

get a screen displayed when telneting into the machine.



I was suggest that I should try QBase instead of QCTL.. This solved the
problem to a point.



I can now happily telnet into the machine and actually get a screen to work
with.

I can use the client terminal Personal Communications AS/400 Client Access
Express for Windows

and get a screen to work with and that all seems fine.



However, there is still a problem with the Operations Navigator.

If I Verify Connection. on the My Connections server name everything
verifies ok.

But when I click on Management Central, it tries to connect but then gives
the following error.

"Unable to complete the connection to central system
"myservername.mydomainname.com.au"



I have MGTC started

I have the host file on the Win machine ok and host in the AS400
configured.

I can expand the server branch on the Operations Navigator tree but it only
displays Basic Operations.



I don't suppose anyone might be able to suggest (speak slowly please step
by
step and assume I am a child ;- ) )

any ideas of what might be the problem and how to fix this please



Kind Regards

Mark Bailey

You'd think you could use concurrent maintenance and do a remove/add.  Then
just delete the hardware resource that will show up as the optical drive
with a ? In the "work w/ non-reporting" screen.

Not sure if it would work or not - worth a shot rather than IPLing.

Ok, well digging through the infocenter was easier than expected.

Looks like my answers are:

1) yes, box must be shutdown
2) yes, DVD-RAM must replace DVD-ROM


Anybody have anything to add?

I just went back and looked around and apparently the
service library has been "rolled up" inside of the
"dreaded" InfoCenter, which requires rooting through to
find the correct manuals. The 810 is there:

subject: Re: SNDDST with Notes installed on AS/400

Rob,

You have to do the "bind to address" if you have Domino trying to send 
mail and the native SMTP send mail from the same system. Otherwise they 
will fight over using port 25 on any and all IP addresses on the system. 
If you only have one IP then one of the two will be effectively blocked. 
And it can be a toss up as to which although probably first started wins.

Also, it depends on what version of Domino. Before V6, if I remember 
correctly, you could use MSF where Domino used the iSeries SMTP stack. 
But with the newer versions Domino uses its own SMTP and IBM didn't 
provide a way to have OS/400 use it instead of the internal one.

Depending on the IP addresses you have on the system and your network 
you may not have to touch your router/firewall if everything is outbound 
only. The router function just has to accept the iSeries' address and 
pass the packets out to the internet.

I did forget in my example that when the second address was added to the 
system that it also required a second address on the firewall/router 
that was in the new sub-net and the system had to have a *DFTROUTE (sp?) 
point to it. If you can use an address within the current sub-net the 
firewall/router change and the second *DFTROUTE aren't needed.

I chose a new sub-net because I found PCs (without a local DNS, WINS, or 
any MS server) would connect randomly to any address the iSeries had 
within the PC's sub-net. NetBIOS seems to broadcast on all addresses. 
While this might be an advantage when you have more than one adapter in 
the iSeries, it can be a problem too. I have a system with 1Gb and 100Mb 
adapters and use only network switches. If I connect both adapters to 
try and have redundancy protection, some of the PCs connect to the 100Mb 
adapter which can affect throughput where it wouldn't if everything used 
the 1Gb when it is available.
