IBM eserver i5 - OS;400 - Netware Enhanced Integration (5722-SS1 Option 25)

580 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
With HSL OptiConnect for iSeries, customers can off load the database
application CPU cycles of up to 28 iSeries servers given three CECs per loop.
However when three CECs are on a loop, no I/O towers can exist on that loop.
The major advantages of OptiConnect for iSeries are realized by customers who
are rapidly approaching system capacity limits, and who intend to implement
distributed database application servers within a data center or short-distance
campus environment. OptiConnect for iSeries is also an integral part of high
availability configurations.
When used with the Object Connect for iSeries facility, OptiConnect for iSeries
provides a high-efficiency migration aid for the iSeries Advanced Series.
OS/400 - NetWare Enhanced Integration (5722-SS1 Option 25)
OS/400 - NetWare Enhanced Integration provides NetWare client and integration
services for iSeries users, operators, and applications. This is achieved using a
Network Loadable Module (NLM) that runs on NetWare 6.0.
TCP/IP support in OS/400 is used to connect the iSeries using a token-ring
adapter, an Ethernet adapter, IPCS, X.25, or frame relay adapters. OS/400
Enhanced Integration for Novell NetWare provides user profile and password
integration from the iSeries to NetWare. iSeries user or group profiles can be
propagated to multiple NetWare Directory Services (NDS) trees. When iSeries
users change their passwords, the change is propagated to NetWare.
OS/400 - NetWare Enhanced Integration provides iSeries-to-NetWare printing
support. An iSeries user’s printed output is sent from an iSeries output queue to
a printer queue managed by the NetWare server. OS/400 host print transform
services are used to translate the output to print on common PC printers.
Note: Novell no longer supports NetWare 4.2 and NetWare 5.0. Therefore,
IBM does not support them either. A license is required for each NetWare
server.
