** Last updated 07 January 1997 ** 

This informational APAR contains updated information
regarding AS/400 Support for Novell NetWare in addition to
identifying the PTFs available for OS/400 support for Novell
NetWare and its related functions subsequent to the
availability of cumulative PTF package C5304310.

Refer to NetWare - Getting Started (USELTR204U) for
instructions on how to install the required PTFs and
OS/400 Support for Novell.

Refer to Informational APAR II09148 for information
relating specifically to NetWare-J 4.10 support.

As of 03/08/96, there will be a new copy of V3R1 OS/400 with
many of its PTFs already permanently applied.  This new copy
saves you time when you install V3R1, and will be shipped
to customers ordering V3R1 after 03/08/96.

Two marker PTFs will be applied on the system if you are
working with the new 03/08/96 copy of V3R1: PTF RE96010 for
LP 5763999 and PTF AP96010 for LP 5763SS1.  Use the Display
PTF (DSPPTF) command to determine whether or not these PTFs
are applied on your system.

DSPPTF LICPGM(5763999) SELECT(RE96010)
DSPPTF LICPGM(5763SS1) SELECT(AP96010)

In the tables listing the PTFs subsequent to cumulative PTF
package C5304310 below, you will see a column added for
the new 03/08/96 copy of V3R1.  This column indicates
whether or not the PTF was permanently applied in the new
03/08/96 copy.

NOTE: In addition to the PTFs specific to AS/400 Support for
      Novell NetWare, other PTFs are also highly recommended
      for any IOP including the FSIOP.

      5763999 PTFs include:  MF11997, MF11793, MF11722,
      MF11128, MF10450, MF12143, MF11777, MF11596, MF11367,
      MF09328, MF09547, MF10427, MF09329

      5763SS1 PTFs include:  SF30723, SF29777, SF28946,
      SF30213, SF30387

NOTE: If your *NETWARE NWSD is failing with the following
      error messages, then a set of PTFs which upgrade
      the level of OS/2 Warp used on the FSIOP may help
      solve the problem.

      MSGCPI573F with error code x'E1000005'
      MSGCPI7E60 with which points to SRC65066224

      If you are experiencing this problem, please load
      and apply the following set of PTFs.  They are very
      large and most likely not available via ECS.

      5733SA2 PTFs: SF30359, SF30407, SF30429, SF30443
      SF30444, SF30445, SF30446, SF30447, SF30448, SF30449

      These PTFs should not be loaded if using NLV
      2962, 2986, 2987 or 2989.

 Additonal notes on the NetWare - Getting Started memo
 -----------------------------------------------------

 1. PTF SF26838, which contains the automated procedure
    to apply the required PTFs, is not on cumulative PTF
    package C5304310 or C5328310.  If you are using
    either of these cumulative PTF packages and also plan
    to use the automated procedure to apply the required
    PTFs, PTF SF26838 must be obtained separately.  Note
    that PTF SF26838 has been superseded.

 2. When instructed to ENDSBS *ALL to apply the PTF
    package, you should also change the QSYSOPR message
    queue to *BREAK mode: CHGMSGQ QSYSOPR *BREAK.  This
    will allow you to receive notification of tape
    intervention that may be required if the PTF package
    spans multiple tapes.

 3. IF YOU ARE APPLYING PTFs MANUALLY, step 2 on pages 12
    and 14 instructs you to apply PTFs "in order".  To
    clarify, you are to apply the PTFs in the order shown
    in step 2... not in numerical order as shown on the
    following page.

 4. For the latest information on installation and use, see
    the Tips and Techniques section at the end of this
    document.

 PTFs subsequent to cumulative PTF package C5304310
------------------------------------------------------------

The following V3R1 PTFs are available subsequent to PTF
package C5304310 and are either required or strongly
recommended to be applied to ensure proper functioning of
OS/400 Support for Novell NetWare or its related functions.

Workstation Install Tips and Techniques
---------------------------------------

Ensure that you have not already done a Workstation Install
for the language version (LANVER) specified on the INSNTWSVR
command.  Only 1 Workstation install is required per
language.  The server storage space where the NetWare files
are stored is shared between all *NETWARE NWSDs of that
language.

For Ethernet ODI configurations it is important that the
STARTNET.BAT file is left in it's default format before you
start the Workstation install.  If you change that file the
installation utility may not be able to find configuration
information, causing incorrect updates to the configuration
files (NET.CFG, PROTOCOL.INI, and STARTNET.BAT) which will
cause connection problems (phase 2 will stop).  If you did
change your STARTNET.BAT file, ensure that the LSL and
IPXODI statements have the .COM extension and the ODI driver
statement does not use LOADHIGH.

If you are using PC DOS version 6.1 or 6.3 there is a
problem when you connect to the FSIOP after you reboot the
PC between phase 1 and phase 2.  Files (including QFP2.DAT)
are not being downloaded to the PC.  The QFP.LOG file
(history log) will have the following statement at the
bottom: c:\>xcopy z:\qfpntwi\wsinstal\*.* c:\qfptmp.
Correct the problem by putting a copy of XCOPY.EXE from
the DOS subdirectory into the root directory of the c:
drive (i.e. copy c:\dos\xcopy.exe c:\).  Then reboot the PC.

If the NetWare Integration TSR hangs (NETINSTL.EXE)
when you reboot between phase 1 and phase 2, ensure that
no other PC on the LAN is attempting a Workstation Install
at the same time.  There is a problem with the way the
NETINSTL.EXE handles multiple NetBIOS addresses.

Other Tips and Techniques
-------------------------

In order to complete Novell product certification testing,
TOKENTSM.NLM version 2.61 was required.  It is recommended
that you obtain TOKENTSM.NLM version 2.61 or higher from
Novell.

If you decide to configure and use AS/400 local IPX support,
you must first install a Novell NetWare 4.1 license before
AS/400 local IPX support can be activated.  After installing
the license, you must start or restart IPX support using the
STRIPX command to activate the local IPX connection.

If you decide to configure the NetWare server to support
protocols other than IPX (such as TCP/IP), you must use
the NetWare INETCFG utility.  Note that when using the
INETCFG utility, you may see a red warning message displayed
indicating that a configuration file may be corrupted.  You
can ignore this message since this file was updated by
an AS/400 program without using the INETCFG utility.  Refer
to page 4-12 in publication SC41-3124 for additional hints
concerning using the INETCFG utility.

Backing up your NetWare data files and NDS is recommended.
The following are some recommendations concerning backing
and recovering your data when using OS/400 Integration
for Novell NetWare.

- When using the OS/400 RST command to restore an entire
storage space, a temporary copy of the storage space is made
before replacing the original storage space.  For example,
restoring a 1GB storage space requires 1GB of available DASD
for use by the RST command.

- To perform incremental backup of data, use of a NetWare
backup utility, such as SBACKUP, to backup data to a tape
device attached to a PC based server is required.
Incremental backup of data to AS/400 media is not currently
supported by OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare.

- To perform backup of entire volumes of data for disaster
recover, you can use OS/400 commands (SAV) to backup storage
spaces.  In this situation, it is recommended that user data
not be stored in SYS: but instead stored in a separate
volume in a separate storage space.  Separate storage spaces
allow recover of user data volumes without changes to NDS
which is stored on SYS:  If NDS needs to be recovered, and
there is not a replica of NDS in the network to recover
from, NDS can be recovered by restoring SYS:.  Refer to the
OS/400 Integration for Novell NetWare manual (SC41-3124) for
details on saving and restore storage spaces.
