NW 6.5 SP8 on HP ML350 G6

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 7:29pm
Hello,

I am trying to install Netware 6.5 sp8 onto a HP ML350 G6 with a P410i Raid controller, and 3 450gb sas drives.

I have disabled Hyperthreading and using only one core, it is setup as Raid 5.

I get the correct drivers to load on the install and get all the way to creating the volume sys and the install dies with IO errors.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

JBoss as a service

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 6:27pm
Hey all,

I am trying to install JBoss as a service. I see the wrapper but don't want to pay the $90 in licensing. Is there a free version that is recommended?

Thanks.

Slow connection ZCM 10.1.0

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 5:10pm
We are running ZCM 10.1.0 and whenever we try to establish a remote connection to a PC on the LAN, it could take anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds.

Is anyone having this same issue? I don't see any TID's that are related to this problem. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Form Fill for WhatsUp Gold 14

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 4:32pm
Hello, everyone!

So far I've had success creating Form Fill policies for some of our Web applications: GW WebAccess 8 & SugarCRM. Now, I am trying to do the same for our WhatsUp Gold network monitoring server, but once the login page appears, the credentials filled in and the form submitted, the login page just loops on itself.

The form itself is fairly simple:

<form method="POST" action="DlgUserLogin.asp" name="DlgUserLogin" id="DlgUserLogin" >

And the two fields I am filling in are simply the username and password:

<input type="text" name="DlgUserLogin.sUserName" id="DlgUserLogin.sUserName" class="Aspf-Edit" onFocus="this.className+=' Aspf-Control-Focus';" onBlur="this.className='Aspf-Edit'" maxlength="100" value="" style='width:190px' />

<input type="password" name="DlgUserLogin.sPassword" id="DlgUserLogin.sPassword" class="Aspf-EditPassword" onFocus="this.className+=' Aspf-Control-Focus';" onBlur="this.className='Aspf-EditPassword'" maxlength="100" value="" style='width:190px' />

In my form fill policy, I simply fill in the two fields with the NAM credentials and select auto-submit.

If I do not select the Auto-submit option, the credentials get filled in properly and I simply have to click the Login button on my WhatsUp login screen, at which point I access the application. It seems that only the auto-submit doesn't work.

I've read some posts here on the forum, but still can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Workstation associated apps with pre-install

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 3:47pm
Trying to figure out the behavior of workstation associated apps that are set to pre-install.

Testing it out with the latest zfd7 agent. I created an MSI app that is set to run in "Progress" mode, Reboot If Needed, Prompt for reboot. The Pre-Install Schedule is enabled and set to Schedule Type=None. A workstation (a test vm) is associated to the application with "App Launcher" checked only (no force run, etc).

Sometimes the agent installs at the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen and auto-reboots. Sometimes if I'm logged into the workstation sitting at the desktop, it'll just reboot as well. Its not prompting or anything. I'm not sure why.. is this just how the "Pre-Install Schedule=None" option behaves?

Thanks for tips.. I've always associated to users before

Hello!

I've installed SLES 10 SP2 initially without Gnome desktop.
Now, I need a desktop and installed Gnome.

However, when booting the server, GDM is not starting automatically.

How can I start Gnome from console?

ZCM incompatible with ZLM agent?

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 3:24pm
Hi,

I just installed a brand new SLES11 64bit server (VMware guest).
Installed the ZLM agent on it, registred it to the ZLM server and ran the updates from it. So server fully patched.

Installed ZCM
-Installed mono
-Installed ZCM 10.2

After install novell-zenagent won't start.
Did some troubleshooting and found:
server:/ # /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/ZenLinuxDaemon --debug

** (/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/ZenLinuxDaemon.exe:11374): WARNING **: Symbol file /opt/novell/zenworks/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll.mdb has incorrect version (expected 50.0, got 39)

Loaded from: /opt/novell/zenworks/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll
Download a newer corlib or a newer runtime at Mono Daily Binary Packages.

And then:

?????

So went back to the VMware snapshot I made after installing the ZLM agent, uninstalled it.
Reinstalled ZCM and now the novell-zenagent starts!

I also tried updating mono to the newest version, but then the agent complains mono is too new.

Are they really incompatible, or is there a trick to it?

Thanks,
Hein

Moving SCSI Volume to iSCSI SAN

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 3:16pm
I'm not sure but it sounds like you can't Backup and Restore to a X_Volume and then Rename the original Volume to Old_Volume and then rename the X_Volume to the original Volume name.

Why wouldn't this way work? The new Volume will have all the trustee rights because of the SMS backup and restore.

The reason I want to do it this way is because I want to leave the GroupWise on the SCSI Drives, but moving the rest.

Windows shares issues (nwfilter)

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 2:59pm
We are running WinXP Pro SP3 with Novell client 4.91 SP5 with all the current patches up to nwfilter 1. We have performance problems accessing a Windows share running Server 2000 SP4. The shares are authenticated via AD but the workstations are not in the domain. The issue is that after the workstations are idle a bit in regards to that windows mapping, they take several minutes to wake up when trying to browse. Overall access times are also noticeably slower. Machines without the Novell client or with older version do not have this issue. We are currently testing the age old trick of tweaking the provider order but it does not seem to be helping. We are also trying turning UNC path filtering on and off.

Is anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions? I know the current (beta) nwfilter was a complete re-write but I am wondering if it is the culprit. Logic says that if the MS provider is before the NW Client, it should not matter.

Thanks.

Critical update erroneously flagged as patched

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 2:42pm
I've noticed an error in Patch Management involving several managed computers (Windows XP SP 3) that have Microsoft's .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed. At least I believe it's an error. Patch Management says the machines are patched for the "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET version 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86" update, but both a Windows Update and Mcrosoft Baseline Security Analyzer (v2.1) scan shows they are not. I've also checked file versions and am confident the patch is not installed. I've looked in the ZCM Patch Management documentation and can't find a remedy for this problem, and wonder how far does this go. Have others noticed similar issues?

It bothers me that, had I not double checked with third-party scans, Patch Management would have continued to give false data.

default login screen not showing?

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 2:41pm
This is odd

New NAM 3.1.1 IR2 setup
I get the login page, but it doesn't look like the default ones in the docs. Doesn't look like my other NAM login pages either.

I get the blue header that takes up the entire browser window width (my other NAM servers it only takes up like 1/2 the width or something).

Missing the "card" on the left-hand side next to username / password.

It also has an "authentication" tab with a "user" below it.

And the authentication cards are gone from the bottom as well.

(granted, on my other servers we got rid of the auth cards at the bottom)

but still, I haven't customized this page yet and it looks nothing like the default picture in the Novell docs

inventory reports multiple parallel ports

Novell Support Forums - New Posts - 25 November 2009 - 2:21pm
Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with zcm's inventory, where on some workstations it would detect 1000s of parallel ports. Obviously this causes the inventory scan file to grow very large (approx. 25MB!), which I think is what is making the server and the PCs very slow.

here is a snippet of what I see in the inventory xml file:

Code: <ParallelPort>

          </ParallelPort> this obviously gets repeated a bunch of times, and what I have noticed is that the <ComponentOID> is always different.

I know I might have to open a SR request, but I just wanted to see if anybody had seen this before.
