Yes, with NFS you will need to UNMOUNT/MOUNT to reset the NFS connections.

Sounds like problem solved :-)

Ok, my developers have no trouble reading from the local IFS. None whatsoever. How they do it isn't really relevant. JTOpen, lotus script, etc, makes no difference to me. What made a difference to me is that I wanted them to be able to open IFS files on another server. Trying to use either QFileSvr.400 or QNTC was an issue because QNOTES had to have a password, or, use EIM.
I found an acceptable work around. I am using MOUNT. Works great. Now the same script works great regardless if the Domino server is Linux based or i based. No customization needed to support the different OS's.
The only remaining issue that when the server serving the IFS data goes down (via a HA switch) I have to UNMOUNT and then MOUNT again. Trying to keep track of all clients that may be mounted on me (hope that doesn't sound bad) and initiate remote commands that they UNMOUNT and re MOUNT can be a hassle but it may be something I have to do. An alternative is to have the lotus script (or whatever) perform the UNMOUNT and re MOUNT upon an error.

Hi Rob,
Not sure if I'm following what you're trying to do, but I'll throw out
a
suggestion: use Java and the IBM Toolbox for Java(or JTOpen as I
believe
it's called these days). I've created several Java agents that access
iSeries objects(including DB2, call RPG/CL programs, read/write to IFS)
that use a stored iSeries user profile when the iSeries connection is
created. This user profile/pwd is stored in a Notes document and used
by
the agent to create the connection.
If this sounds like an option for you let me know and I can provide
more
info and possibly sample code.
Bob

I am trying to access IFS data on another lpar of IBM i from Domino.
I
could try QNTC or QFileSvr.400. I have looked at a number of links:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/098bccc2f23e939e85257632007c6f7f?OpenDocument

In those links I hear a range of options.
One is to change user profile QNOTES from PASSWORD(*NONE) to a
password,
and if QNOTES doesn't exist on the remote lpar (maybe it doesn't have
Domino) then just create it. The password must match on both systems.
Tried opening a pmr with IBM and was told that those who've added a
password to QNOTES have done so at their own peril and have had much
difficulty. From IBM:
<snip>
NO addin products would work,
backup and restore via Domino api would not work
etc, etc, etc.
</snip>

One of the links mentioned using /qntc (aka NetServer) and
configuring
the
remote lpar to support guest accounts in NetServer and ensure that
the
user assigned (often QUSER) has access to the desired directory.

I'd really like to avoid insisting that all IFS type work (if needed)
handles locally and that the "db2" lpar leave the stuff in db2.

I'd also like to avoid insisting that the db2 lpar do all the pushing
to
the domino lpar for two reasons:
- Domino clustering.
- Timing of when Domino is ready for it.

It's also been suggested that I leave QNOTES with a password of *none
on
both machines and use EIM/SSO/Kerberos from one machine to another.
Not
sure how a batch Domino QNOTES process snags on to a Kerberos
ticket...
