Subject: Re: Netware 5 NDS
is your NDS tree partitioned???
if it is here is a response I got from somone at IBM
ADSM development received a message from Novell stating that the
TSANDS.NLM
for NetWare 5.0 is not working correctly. This problem has been
fixed with
TSANDS.NLM for NDS 8. NDS on NetWare 5.0 is being changes so that
the
TSANDS.NLM that is working with NDS 8 can be used on NetWare 5.0,
and will
be resolved in support pack 4.
Please contact Novell on incident # 2225204, if you have question
concerning this issue.
This is what is causing the problem in ADSM in backing up a
partitioned NDS in Netware 5:
All ADSM customer trying to backup a partitioned NDS on NetWare
5.00
cannot.
In researching ADSM Development found that
'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet'
does not
work correctly on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS. ADSM
does a
'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' and in the scanControl ADSM set
scanType to
'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE'. After doing the
'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' ADSM
get the
sequence number and pass it to 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet'. ADSM
expect
to
receive each data set under the .[Root] as a child and parent
with out
traversing the tree. But 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' ignores the
scantype
flag
'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' and returns all objects under the tree.
Because the api ignores the scantype flag it causes problems
for ADSM.
ADSM
expects to be able to traverse the tree based on the parent
flag.
ADSM does
not expect 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' to do this. As a result
ADSM
parses and
NDS object names incorrectly.
ADSM Development have tested 'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' and
'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' with scanType of
'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' with the following Novell NetWare OS's
and they
work correctly.
4.11 with out NDS partitions, using TSANDS.NLM (4.14).
4.11 with NDS partitioned, using TSANDS.NLM (4.14).
4.20 with out NDS partition.
5.00 with out NDS partition, using TSANDS.NLM (5.00).
It is only on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS that the
scanType is
ignored.
In testing, ADSM Development used the following type of NDS
tree with
the O=ADSM as a partition.
[Root]
*ADSM
* *DMMOCK
* *admin
* *DMMOCK_VOL1
* *NLS_LSP_DMMOCK
* *SMS SMDR Group
.
(and so on)
.
* *Development
* * *Storman
* * *all adsm users
* *mock
* *DMMOCK SMS RPC
*Security
With scanType set to 'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' I would expect the
following to be returned:
.[Root]
.O=ADSM.[Root]
.CN=Security.[Root]
But on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS set to .ADSM we get
back
the following
from scannextdataset, starting with .[Root]:
.[Root]
.O=ADSM.[Root]
.CN=Security.[Root]
.CN=DMMOCK.O=ADSM.[Root]
.CN=admin.O=ADSM.[Root]
.CN=DMMOCK_VOL1.O=ADSM.[Root]
.CN=NLS_LSP_DMMOCK.O=ADSM.[Root]

Subject: Netware 5 NDS
Hello,
I know this question has been asked many a time on the list server,
but i
still haven't found a definitive answer.
When trying to backup a Netware 5 box it fails when i try to backup
the NDS.
I have been told that it is a problem with the ADSM API and i have
also been
told that it is a problem with the API in Netware.
Could anyone out there who knows the answer please let me know. If
there is
currently no official fix does anyone know a work around?
Cheers
