OVERVIEW
********

LAN Server Specialist(LSS) is a problem determination tool for
LAN Server 4.0.  LSS consists of Agents and the Manager.  The Agents
are installed on each LAN Requester and Servers to be managed, and
one LSS Manager is installed on a LAN Server (or Domain Controller)
per LAN domain.

LSS Agents report the errors, messages, and alerts issued by the
LAN Requesters or Servers to the LSS Manager.  The LSS Manager
generates problem reports, which include:

(1) the error messages correlated for the same problem cause;
(2) possible cause(s) for the correlated error messages;
(3) recommended action to fix the problem.

LSS can run on LS 3.0, too.

INSTALLATION
************

LSS is a CID-enabled (Configuration-Installation-Distribution)
product.  It is easy to install on workstations in LAN environments.

1. Install LSS from the installation diskettes (LS 4.0 PRODUCTIVITY
AID 3 & 4):

   To install a LSS Manager (which includes a LSS agent), insert
   "LS 4.0 PRODUCTIVITY AID 3" diskette in a drive and type:

        <source_drive>:\LSSINST /T:<target_drive>:

   For instance:

        A:\LSSINST /T:D:

   will install LSS in D:\IBMLSS directory.

   Similarly, to install a LSS Agent, insert LS 4.0 PRODUCTIVITY
   AID 3 in a drive, and type:

        <source_drive>:\LSSAINST /T:<target_drive>:

   This will install an Agent in the <target_drive>:\IBMLSS directory.

2. Create a code server:

   To create a code server from the LSS installation diskettes
   "LS 4.0 PRODUCTIVITY AID 3 & 4", using command

        LSSIMG /S:<source_drive> /T:<target_directory>

   For instance:

        A:\LSSIMG /S:A: /T:D:\LSSINST

   will upload the LSS installation code to D:\LSSINST directory.
   After that, you can install the LSS Agent and Manager from the
   code server remotely.
