My NetWare server can only handle 110 simultaneous TCP connections – after that it stops accepting connections. Why?
A. By default, an ASA server running on NetWare can accept up to 110 TCP connections simultaneously (this number is actually dependent on the number of network cards in the machine). To increase this number, you must specify Connections= on the server command line. For example, to allow 200 connections, you would use: load dbsrv7 … -x tcpip(Connections=200) Note that this parameter is not necessary on ASA 8.0 and later; the DB server can handle any number of connections. Q. When starting the SA server on NetWare, I am getting the message “Could not determine local host name”, and the server does not start. What does this mean? A. When starting up the TCP/IP link, SA asks the operating system for its own IP address. If the OS doesn’t know its IP address, we cannot listen for packets. To make sure the OS knows its IP address, either add an entry into the sys:etc/hosts file for this server, or use the MYIP parameter, for example: load dbsrv50 … -x tcpip{MYIP=1.2.3.4} This is only an i
