To install and configure a VLM client, obtain the Novell NetWare
DOS/Windows VLM client kit version 1.2 or later and follow the instructions.
The kit is contained in SYS:\PUBLIC\CLIENT\DOSWIN
on your NetWare 9000 version 4.1 server. Instructions are contained
in the README file in that directory. Consult the Novell World Wide
Web page for updates and manuals: http://www.novell.com.
Packet Burst |
 |
Packet burst is set to active by default on DOS/Windows VLM
client shells. For NetWare 9000, you may want to disable packet
burst for better performance.
Hewlett-Packard's Fastpath technology provides greater
performance improvements than packet burst and is more effective
with packet burst disabled.
To disable packet burst on a VLM client, add the following
to the client NET.CFG
file.
netware dos requester pb buffers=0
There are known problems with "General Network Failures"
when using packet burst. To avoid these errors, use the VLM version
1.2 client and add the following two lines to the NET.CFG
file:
Protocol IPXODI
ipx
retry count 50
