There are two NetWare patches that you MUST INSTALL on any NetWare
4.10 or 3.12 server before loading the latest version of the Enhanced Integration
for NetWare NLM. (NetWare 4.11 already has these fixes included.)
-
STRTLn
where 'n' is '5' or greater (for example, STRTL6).
-
LIBUPx
where 'x' is 'C' or greater (for example, LIBUPD).
If service is required, both IBM and Novell require the latest
patches from Novell.
The steps necessary to install the NetWare patches are:
-
Download the patch (.EXE) from the Novell website.
-
From a DOS session, make a patch diskette. For example:
d:\dir\LIBUPC a:
where
d: - drive containing the patch file
\dir\ - directory containing the patch file
LIBUPC - name of the .EXE patch file
a: - target drive where the patch
diskette should be built
After the readme notice, answer with the letter 'y' to continue the
extraction.
-
Check for .TXT installation instructions on the patch diskette. For some
patches, you are required to manually copy NLM's from the diskette into
specific directories on the SYS volume. Otherwise, the patch should be
installed using the Install utility.
-
To use the Install utility to install a patch:
-
From a console prompt, load the Install utility:
load install
-
Select the 'Product Options' item
-
Select the 'Install a product not listed' item
-
If you are using a console attached to the server, and the patch diskette
is inserted in the server diskette drive, press enter. If you are using
a remote console, press F4 to specify a remote workstation path to the
a:\ drive.
-
Press F10 to select the marked group and install the patches.
-
To manually copy NLMs from the patch diskette to the SYS volume,
first map a drive to the server's SYS volume:
map d:=server_name/SYS:
where
d: - drive letter to use
server_name - name of the server
Follow the .TXT installation instructions on which NLMs to copy and
to which SYS volume directories.
-
Make a backup copy of each NLM you intend to replace:
copy d:\svr_name\SYSTEM\nlm_name.nlm
d:\svr_name\SYSTEM\nlm_name.org
-
Change the attribute flag for the NLM you intend to replace:
attrib -r d:\svr_name\SYSTEM\nlm_name.nlm
copy a:\4.X\nlm_name.nlm d:\svr_name\SYSTEM
If the patch diskette has patches for multiple NetWare versions, be
sure you copy the correct NLM.
-
Change the attribute flag for NLM you have replaced:
attrib +r d:\svr_name\SYSTEM\nlm_name.nlm
-
Repeat these steps for any other files to be replaced, such as .MSG files.
