502 AS/400e System Handbook
• Creates security officer and system operator profiles
• Defines LAN connection for Token-Ring, Ethernet, or Integrated Netfinity Server
adapter
• Starts TCP/IP and selected servers
• Creates Internet shortcuts on the desktop for: AS/400 Information Center, Technical
Studio, AS/400 Home Page, AS/400 Client Access, and AS/400 Technical Support
• Installs Netscape Navigator browser, if needed
• Configures the Operations Console to be ready to use when EZ-Setup completes
• Performs initial NetServer configuration for Client Access, includes starting TCP/IP
and setting the System and Domain names for NetServer
• Gives the user the option to launch Operations Navigator by using a radio button
Next Step
is a set of HTML pages that the user reads and then performs the task. The topics
on these pages include Exploring Operations Navigator, Setup Printing, Create User Profiles,
Install Additional Software, Define System Cleanup Options, Create a System Backup, and
more. Next Step is used after the EZ-Setup Wizard or Guided Setup has completed.
Continuous Availability Clustering
Prior to V4R4, the AS/400e system offered multi-system coupling that provided peer or tiered
node clusters, constructed by ISVs using distributed data management and journaling. The
customer separately managed the systems in the cluster. Database replication was provided
by high-availability business partner solutions.
V4R4 introduces AS/400 Logical Partitioning (LPAR), which enhances the role of the AS/400e
as a consolidated server. With LPAR, companies have both the power and flexibility to
address multiple system requirements in a single machine. LPAR is of value to customers
that need server consolidation, business unit consolidation, mixed production, and a test
environment, as well as integrated clusters.
AS/400e clustering is taking a major step forward with the introduction of Cluster Resource
Services as part of OS/400 V4R4 (APIs). The complexity of managing systems in a cluster
and keeping track of data and applications is handled by OS/400 V4R4. Protecting your
business from unplanned and planned outages, as well as site loss disasters, is easier than
ever before. Cluster management and enhanced data resilience applications, both provided
by high-availability business partners, complete the total solution.
AS/400 clusters enable you to set up an environment that provides availability approaching
100% for your critical applications and your critical data. AS/400 system high availability
business partners and ISVs complete the solution with easy-to-use cluster management,
robust data resiliency, and resilient applications that take advantage of the new technology.
