Article #25403: Does InterBase 4.2.2 for NetWare 4.11 support IntranetWare 4.11 SFTIII?

Problem:
Need to know if InterBase 4.2.2 for NetWare 4.11 
supports SFT III for purposes of maximum fault.
tolerance.

Solution:
The information in this article applies to:

* InterBase 4.2.2 on NetWare 4.11

InterBase 4.2.2 for NetWare 4.11 was not tested against 
an SFT III-enabled server, and is therefore not officially 
supported.  The only problem that I could forsee would 
occur during the actual writing of the data to disk.  There 
is a database property called Forced Writes that, when 
enabled (the default), will make InterBase physically write 
data to the disk whenever the database performs an (internal) 
write operation.  Since one of the features of SFT III is disk 
mirroring, Forced Writes may conflict with SFT's I/O stream.  
Therefore, it may be better to turn it off (use the Windows 
InterBase Server Manager utility).
