Action: Make sure all hardware is set to either full duplex or half duplex. Setting all
hardware to half duplex might result in greater performance than full
duplexing.
Possible Cause: Virus scan software running on the source or destination servers.
Action: Turn off any virus scanning software on the source or destination servers to
increase the speed of the consolidation. Turn the virus scanning software back
on after the consolidation completes.
Possible Cause: An incorrect version of
smdr.nlm
is loaded on a NetWare server.
Action: At the NetWare server, unload
smdr.nlm
, then load the version of the
smdr.nlm
file that comes with the newest Support Pack.
Possible Cause: Small file sizes.
In general, the larger the file sizes, the better the performance. Copying a
single 500 MB file will be significantly faster than copying five thousand 100
KB files.
Possible Cause: Hardware configuration.
The performance of the Server Consolidation Utility varies according to the
environment. Using a 100 MB LAN, tests have measured speeds ranging from
3 to 15 GB per hour, with the most common speed being between 5 and 8 GB
per hour. You should check the performance of your LAN before copying very
large amounts of data.
The Server Consolidation Utility copies data at a faster rate than a Windows
file copy.
Server Consolidation Utility Copies Incomplete Data Files
Problem: Files copied to the destination server have any of the following characteristics:
Š
Destination is a 0-byte file.
Š Creation time and date are incorrect when compared to the source server.
Š
Modification time and date are incorrect when compared to the source
server.
Š
File was not completely copied. (This would be indicated by the
destination file being smaller in size than the source file.)
Action: Use the latest SMDR and TSAFS modules on the source NetWare server.
Path Size Limitations for Data Copy
Problem: Because the Server Consolidation Utility is a Windows-based program, it is
subject to the path size limitation of Windows, which is 255 characters. If you
have data where the path name is longer than 255 characters, the Server
Consolidation Utility cannot copy data that exceeds this maximum.
Action: One workaround is to reorganize the data on your source server so that the path
size does not exceed 255 characters.
Action: Another possibility is to use the server-based processing feature to copy the
data. Since the workstation does not monitor the file copy process, it is not
