Advanced Server for UNIX architecture

Process model

The process lmx.srv

One or more lmx.srv processes process the requests of several workstations in the network. Each lmx.srv process is started, as required, using the process lmx.ctrl. The relevant lmx.srv process passes the print requests and their management on to the system spooler.

The maximum number of workstations to be operated in parallel can be configured for the lmx.srv process in lanman.ini file and in the registry. The minimum and maximum number depend on the parameters maxclients (in lanman.ini), MaxVCs (Registry) and VCDistribution (Registry). The Registry parameters MinVCPerProc, MaxVCPerProc and VCDistribution should be used to change the maximum number.

The process lmx.dmn

The daemon process lmx.dmn performs the service network logon security. It also synchro- nizes the individual servers (single system image, SSI) and is used for trust relationships. This process is started by the process lmx.ctrl when Advanced Server for UNIX is being initialized.

The lmx.alerter process

This daemon process manages the alerter function. If not disabled, it is started automati- cally when AS/X is started.

The lmx.browser process

This process enables the Browser service. If not disabled, this process is started when Advanced Server for UNIX is being initialized.

The process lmx.repl

The process lmx.repl establishes contact with other servers and imports or exports files from and to these servers in order to ensure data consistency. This process is only started if it has been configured.

The lmx.wins process

This process establishes the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) service. It is started only when configured.

The lmx.ep process

This process works together with the lmx.wins process. It is started and stopped automati- cally with WINS.
