5.2 Guidelines for NFS file systems

If the

UseUnixLocks=1

entry has been set in the Registry, Advanced Server for UNIX

executes record locks in all file systems, including the NFS file system. The default is

UseUnixLocks=0

,

UseNfsLocks=0

,

NfsCheck=0

.

Overview:

The incorrect locks can cause processes to hang in systems that have not
configured a lock manager. These processes cannot be terminated with

kill -9

;

in this case the system must be restarted.

In this case, set the entries

NfsCheck=1

and

UseNfsLocks=0

.

5.3 Connecting Advanced Server for UNIX to Logging

Advanced Server for UNIX has an interface to Logging. If users wish to use Logging it must
be installed and started on the server system.

Ê

Check whether the log files

log3admin

and

log3struct

(for Logging V3.0) contain entries

for Advanced Server for UNIX. If necessary, incorporate them using an editor.

Ê

After you have entered it using the editor, invoke the

log3/bin/log3adm

and

log3/log3new

commands. In this way, the entries are incorporated from

log3admin

to

log3admin.obj

.
