DOCUMENT:Q137146 13-JUN-2001 [sna] TITLE :SnaBase Now Limits Domain or Subdomain to 15 SNA Servers PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:WINDOWS:2.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, version 2.11, on platform(s): - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new feature has been added to SNA Server in SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1. Now, when the Snabase service starts (as it opens its configuration file), it checks the number of SNA Servers in its subdomain. If there are already 15 SNA Servers found in the configuration file, the SnaBase service fails to start, Event 702 is logged into the Windows NT application log, and a warning is displayed. If the SnaBase service finds its own computer name in the configuration file, COM.CFG, it does not stop or log an event, even if there are more than 15 servers in the subdomain. This ensures that users who already have more than 15 servers in their subdomain can use the updated SNABASE.EXE. However, it does prevent an Administrator from adding any new SNA Servers to the Windows NT domain or SNA Server "subdomain" which has already reached its limit. This feature was added to prevent complications resulting from too many SNA Servers in the same subdomain. If there is a need for 15 or more servers in aggregate, subdomains should be used. NOTE: See the section entitled "G.2. Addition to SNA Server Planning Guide" in the SNA Server 2.11 README.WRI file for more information about dividing SNA Servers into separate subdomains.
