Improved Options and Application Products for V4R5

AS/400 Integration for Windows Server
AS/400 Integration for Windows Server ships automatically with OS/400 at V4R5. The
software previously included in OS/400 option 29, Integration with Windows NT Server, at
V4R5 is titled AS/400 Integration for Windows Server.
AS/400 Integration for Windows Server contains as base program with two options to allow
an AS/400 with multiple Integrated Netfinity Servers installed to have a combination of
servers with either Windows NT Version 4.0 or Microsoft Windows 2000. Option 1 contains
the support for Integrated Netfinity Servers to run Microsoft Windows NT Server Version 4.0
or Microsoft Windows NT Server Terminal Server Edition Version 4.0. Option 2 contains the
support for the Integrated Netfinity Server to run Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and
Terminal Server Services.
Highlights of AS/400 Integration for Windows Server enhancements at V4R5 include:
• Integrated save/restore of Windows files from the AS/400 system. Save and restore
capabilities of Windows servers enable individual file backup and recovery through the
AS/400 system. This support is enabled through the AS/400 NetClient file system
(QNTC) of the integrated file system. Incremental saving of files and the Windows
registry associated with an Integrated Netfinity Server can be incorporated into an
existing AS/400 backup procedure. The registry and files saved through this method
can be individually restored if needed. Saving Windows server files in this manner can
be used with full AS/400 system save procedures for disaster recovery.
• Operations Navigator Support for Windows Server Management. Operations
Navigator, the GUI for managing the AS/400 system, is enhanced to manage Windows
servers installed on Integrated Netfinity Servers. You can start, stop, and display the
status and properties of the server, which is installed with either Windows NT Version
4.0 or Windows 2000.
• Increased drive size. AS/400 storage availability to the Integrated Netfinity Server is
increased from 8 GB per drive to 64 GB per drive. The system drive remains at a
maximum of 8 GB. The increase in storage size enables almost 1 TB of storage
available per Windows server.
• System drive installation. The Windows server installation is enhanced to enable the
system disk to reside on the C drive.
• Shared LAN adapter support not available. For the AS/400e 8xx, 270, SB2, and SB3
servers, LAN adapters cannot be shared between AS/400 and Windows servers on
the Integrated Netfinity Servers on the AS/400 system. The AS/400 server and the
Integrated Netfinity Server each require their own LAN adapters if LAN connectivity is
required for both environments.
