| 2193.1 | See relnotes - not all services appear... | TAPE::ROURKE | | Tue Feb 11 1997 16:00 | 26 |
| Here's what I think is happening. Under shared directories in the
Map Network Drive dialog box, we have a bug (see details in the
relnotes.txt on \INFOSRV) in that not all services appear. Typically,
about 7 services (max) appear, which, by coincidence is what you have
before you created the new services at the InfoServer. We advise
you go to top level of explorer and browse from there (click Network
Neighborhood, Entire Network, DIGITAL InfoServer Network, CD-ROM
services). My bet is that you will see your newly created services
there.
You can then go back to Map Network Drive and connect to your
new service using the UNC (\\SERVER\SERVICE) format. Yep, it's
a nuisance to type it, but you'll probably only need to type
it once. After the first time, you can click the arrow to the right
of Path and find the UNC name still there and just click
on it.....
Let me know if you can't see those services from the top level of
Explorer.....
BTW, fixing this bug is high on our priority list for next release.

| 2193.2 | Or is it a service class issue? | WAYLAY::GORDON | Resident Lightning Designer | Tue Feb 11 1997 16:21 | 6 |
| Also, make sure you're creating the service names in a service class
for which the NT client solicits. VMS solicits in the ODS_2 service class.
I'd bet NT is solicition in the ISO_9660 service class.

| re: -.1
Correct. It has to be ISO 9660 (default if you don't specify anything).

Well, sort of. The "true default" is always ODS_2 -- that's if you're
creating a service for a partition or if it can't determine a file format.
If you're creating a service for a CD, it attempts to use the file
system on the CD as a guide. For example:
Gumby> sh dev dk4 f
Device Name: DK4:
State: On Device Size: 601800
Device: Compact Disc Volume Name: ALPHA0621H3
Device Type: RRD45 SCSI Bus/Id: A/004
Device Characteristics:
Automount enabled.
ODS-2 file system on device.
Services bound to Port:
ALPHA0621H3 [ODS_2] DK4:
Gumby> create service nervous dk4
%ESS-I-CREATED, Created service NERVOUS [ODS_2].
%ESS-I-CREATED, Create service completed successfully.
Here's a dual format CD:
Gumby> sh dev dk4 f
Device Name: DK4:
State: On Device Size: 1201808
Device: Compact Disc Volume Name: UPDATE_V38
Device Type: RRD45 SCSI Bus/Id: A/004
Device Characteristics:
Automount enabled.
ODS-2 file system on device.
ISO-9660 file system on device.
Services bound to Port:
UPDATE_V38 [V2.0] DK4:
UPDATE_V38 [ODS_2] DK4:
NERVOUS [ODS_2] DK4:
UPDATE_V38 [ISO_9660] DK4:
Gumby> create service pervis dk4
%ESS-I-CREATED, Created service PERVIS [ODS_2].
%ESS-I-CREATED, Created service PERVIS [ISO_9660].
%ESS-I-CREATED, Create service completed successfully.

| 2193.5 | Okay! Thanks! | BRSTR2::SYSMAN | Dirk Van de moortel | Thu Feb 13 1997 07:41 | 15 |
| re .1,2,3,4
Thanks... I have re-created the services on the infoserver as class iso_9660
and now I see the CDn-services on the NT-server (in Network Neighborhood)
and I can connect to them.
And now, when I for example physically swap 2 of the CD's, the win-95
clients see the contents of the shared-shared CD's swapped too.
On the NT-server we just have to refresh (f5) My Computer and the labels are
swapped...
Just what we wanted!
Thanks x 1024!!!
Dirk
