856.0. "Connecting to cluster shares very slow / Win95 clients " by OSLLAV::BJARNEC_P (The last boat left without me .....) Wed Jun 04 1997 05:42

    Hi,
    
    Prioris Server 5166
    WNT 3.51 SP5(?)
    NT Cluster SP2
    Windows 95 clients  (5-600)
    
    A customer has reported a problem with slow logon when executing logon
    scripts that make connections to cluster shares.  The bits in the logon 
    scripts that connect clients to node shares, connect quickly and 
    constitute no performance problem.   The result is that it takes
    "forever" to log on.
    
    Is this a known problem?
    
    It does not seem to be linked to connection to any specific share (ref
    note 768 and 16-bit VB application).  Neither is it because everybody
    tries to logon at the same time.  So far they only run with a few test
    clients. 
    
    I'll try to get the customer to test a bit more tomorrow.  Any specific
    tests that would be particularly useful?
    
                                    
    Thanks,
    
    	Bjarne  :-)

	This should be fixed with SP3 of NT Clusters. Pjotrr
856.2	Great! When?	OSLLAV::BJARNEC_P	The last boat left without me .....	`Wed Jun 04 1997 06:17`	7
	Thanks Pjotrr! Any idea of when to expect NT-Cluster SP3 for NT 3.51? Cheers, Bjarne :-)

856.4	1.0 SP3 = 1.1 SP1	CHEFS::vfr750.reo.dec.com::harrisonb		`Thu Jun 05 1997 04:47`	7
	It's out now. It's otherwise known as SP1 for 1.1 Brynn

	re: .4 by CHEFS::vfr750.reo.dec.com::harrisonb > 1.0 SP3 = 1.1 SP1 > It's otherwise known as SP1 for 1.1 Gee, I hope the two aren't exactly the same, otherwise DECWest would not have submitted two separate files of significantly differing sizes. ;-)
856.6	They are not the same.	MSE1::MASTRANGELO		`Thu Jun 05 1997 07:12`	8
	They are not the same. V1.0 SP3 is for NT V3.51 only. You do not get IP failover with any flavor of Digital Clusters running on NT V3.51. This means you don't get NetBT share failover either. SP3 for V1.0 is primarily bug fixes. V1.1 which runs on NT V4.0 gives you IP failover and dual SQL Servers. V1.1 SP1 gives you NetBT share failover.
856.7	client tuning parameters available	MSE1::PCOTE	press one now for personal name	`Thu Jun 05 1997 07:43`	6
	The Digital Cluster's Administrator's Guide - Appendix A has a section on Client Tuning Parameters (see page A-22) And as previously mentioned, the most deseriable solution is to upgrade the cluster servers to NT4.0-Sp1.
