Unable to Specify LU Number 1 When Adding Range of 3270 LUs

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

SYMPTOMS

The Range of LUs wizard used by SNA Server Manager to configure a range of 3270 LUs does not allow the first LU number to be specified as 1. LU number 1 would correspond to an LU defined as LOCADDR=001 in the PU definition in VTAM.

CAUSE

The Range of LUs wizard is designed with a check to validate that the first LU number is 2 or greater.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

• Create the first LU using LU number 1 individually in SNA Server Manager and then to use the Range of LUs wizard to create the rest of the Lus, starting with an LU number of 2.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.

MORE INFORMATION

With the fix applied, the Range of LUs wizard validates that the first LU number is greater than 0 instead of 2 or greater.
