Operating System/400 (5722-SS1)
470 iSeries Handbook
The software requirements for the EZ-Setup Wizard include the Windows operating system
and the Dial-Up Networking component Version 1.2 or later.
iSeries Internet Setup Wizard
Simplify the steps required to connect your iSeries server to the Internet and use application
and Web serving. The wizard allows you to connect your iSeries server to an ISP over a
dial-up connection or directly through a LAN connection. It can also connect your intranet
iSeries server to the Internet through a firewall or router and allow for Web and application
serving by the iSeries server over that connection. The wizard is organized around three
common scenarios:
• Connect your iSeries server as a Web and application server behind a firewall and
allow access to it from the Internet
• Connect your iSeries server as a Web and application server to a DMZ outside a
firewall and allow access to it from the Internet
• Directly connect your iSeries to the Internet through a dial-up connection
To use all of the wizard's features, install the following options shipped with the operating
system (5722-SS1):
• WebSphere 2.02 Standard Edition or WebSphere Standard Edition 3.02 (5733-AS2) or
• WebSphere 3.5 Standard Edition or WebSphere (5733-AS3)
• IBM HTTP Server
It is available in a V4R5 Client Access Service Pack.
Performance and Management
Availability and Recovery
Various functions are available to help maintain the availability of an iSeries server. These
include:
• System Managed Access Path Protection (SMAPP): Supports and automates the
process of selecting which access paths should be protected. The system uses the
EDTRCYAP value to estimate the amount of journaling to perform. The shorter the
time in this value is, the more journaling takes place, which impedes system
performance, but leads to shorter IPLs. The longer the value is, the longer the IPLs
are. However, the impact of journaling on CPU and DASD utilization is less.
• Uninterruptable power supply (UPS): Maintains power to the iSeries server during a
site power loss.
• Disk mirroring: For the entire system or one individual auxiliary storage pool. If the
entire system is mirrored, double the disk capacity is needed. Additional disk
