To Gwia or not to Gwia
Hi everyone. I have 6.5.7 that is on a 10+ years box. It's time to put it to rest - I said but the boss does not want to spend the money - heard that before! It a suite using on GW and Gwava no other products. There are worried about email failure. So I'm trying GWAVA's Reload product. It works fine for the backup and the disaster recovery BUT you have no Gwia. Can I set up another Netware box with just the Gwia on it and disable the main box Gwia so that when the system fails ( and it will) we will have a email running service? Also is there a license issue here. If when we upgrade to GW8 using Suse - would there be a license issue here? Thank You for your time.

You are trying to set up a redundant INCOMING GWIA? That's fine. You won't have redundant OUTGOING - in 6.5 you'd have to manually switch users over to the other GWIA to use it outgoing. > > Also is there a license issue here. No. You may freely deploy one billion gwias, one trillion poas, 50 quadrillion webaccesses. Your LICENSE is how many total MAILBOXES you create. You may have as many agents running as you wish. > > If when we upgrade to GW8 using Suse - would there be a license issue > here? > The license situation is exactly the same. GW doesn't license per server, per poa, per gwia, etc. It licenses PER NUMBER OF MAILBOXES. In other words, go to each post office and count up how many mailboxes you have (deleted ones don't count obviouwsly). That total may not exceed the licensed count you paid for. > Thank You for your time. > > Jim > >

Micahel, Thanks for the info. I had one question. You wrote:You are trying to set up a redundant INCOMING GWIA? That's fine. You won't have redundant OUTGOING - in 6.5 you'd have to manually switch users over to the other GWIA to use it outgoing. Let me clarify, I will have one main box with GW on it but the Gwia would not be turned on. A dedicated box with an Gwia running, So if the main box fails the reload box would be able to handle mail as usually. Does that make sense? It can be done that way can't it. I don't know if I can do it but I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks for your time.

Micahel, If the main box fails - reload can take over it has the PO and Domain the only the it needs to send & receive email is the GWia. The gwia would be on it's own box. Sure one would need to changes addresses but this would allow time to repair main box. I thought other might have done tis in the past. thanks -- jhedge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jhedge's Profile: http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=17701 View this thread: http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=436068

GWIA 55EP2 and GWIA 6x Differences
Hello, I am reading the Groupwise upgrade guide, as we are planning to upgrade from GW 55EP2 to GW 6.x. In there, it mentions that we may not want to upgrade right away to a 6.x GWIA, especially if we support POP3 or IMAP clients. And it seems to indicate that the GroupWise post offices now talk directly to a 6.x GWIA, while a 5.x GWIA always communicates through the MTA. Can someone explain to me the differences in the GWIA's so we can deploy our GW upgrade without surprises? We have a single GroupWise domain, Single GWIA, Single MTA, and 8 post offices distributed on ...
