ADMINISTERING

Verifying use of shared objects

Here is an optional procedure to use to verify that sharing objects across servers is correctly configured.

Procedure

1. Create a new database on one of the participating servers, for example, create one from the Discussion template.

2. Close the database.

3. Enter the following console command to enable the database for DAOS:


4. Open the database from HCL Notes or another client.

5. Locate or create a file with the following characteristics:


6. Create a document in the database, attach the file from the previous step, and save the document.
7. Enter the following command at the Domino console. The command writes to a file named listnlo.txt in the Domino data directory.
8. Open listnlo.txt in a text editor. It contains the path of the single DAOS object (.NLO file) referenced by the new database. Copy the file name portion of the path, for example9438A54B6C349D15A86161D266D8AFA9A8D9F91D000053FA.nlo, to be pasted in the next step.

9. Enter the following command at the Domino console, specifying the file name from the previous step.


10. (If you use tier 2 storage) Enter the following command at the Domino console to push the object to tier 2 manually (not typical):
11. Repeat the command you entered for Step 9:
12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 on another one of the participating servers, using the same attachment file. If configured correctly, the resulting .NLO file name will be the same as the one on the first server.

Results

The two servers each have their own reference to a single object that they share.
