We recently installed a pair of SFT III servers and now are haveing problems with our message server which is on a third server.
The error message in the message server is "I/O error while scanning input queue".

If we disable SFT III and run only a singel server at that site Groupwise works fine. Any ideas?

Check the IP configuration of the two servers as well as the SFT-III server. You need to have the two NIC talk to themselves, as well as a IP address for the Server Name and route between the NIC in the IO Engines and the Server.
By bringing up the SFT system as a "Server" not "SFT-III) you and using just the address of the Server, and the IO engines are not involved.
Good luck,

Thanks for that info. Do you have a different internal network number for the NIC and then your real netork number for the 'Server'? Check the binding of the IPX protocol so that the NIC of the "Active" IO Engine is bound to the real external network number.

Next, do an IPX PING from the Groupwise server to the SFT-III server and vise versa.

You should have responses from each side.

You cannot load ipxrtr on the SFT-III server.
