As of V5R4 there is an environment variable that controls whether the QNTC
folder is automatically populated or not. Many sys admins turn it off for
performance (and control!) reasons. So I think the answer is that NO
servers come back after an IPL, but so servers automatically repopulate.

From
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/ifs/rzaaxqntcvariables.htm
QIBM_ZLC_NO_BROWSE
When this environment variable is set to "1", the /QNTC directory will
only contain servers that were created with the MKDIR CL command or
mkdir() API. The performance of many operations against the QNTC file
system will improve when this environment variable has been set. But all
/QNTC directories need to be created using the CL command.

Doesn't that entail mkdir by name? i.e., "hardcoding" into the QSTRUP
program? Or do the rest of you capture them by name prior to reboot?

I _know_ for a fact that a fair percent of the time they do come back
after
an IPL. And I have nothing in place to do that. There must be some kind
of
discovery process. In fact, I started setting up a new PC late friday. It
shows up.

Directories created under the /QNTC file structure do not survive an
IPL. You have to put something into the startup process that re-creates
them each time.

Subject: Directory under /QNTC disappears

I have a client who created a directory under the /QNTC file system to
access a share on a Linux server.

Everything works until they IPL their system over the weekend.

Then the created directory disappears.



When we run the mkdir command again, we can then access the Linux server
and its share.



Why would an IPL eliminate the directory under /QNTC?



Thanks, Scott
