** 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. ******************************************************* 5763999 STS SPC SUPER Cum 03/08 DESCRIPTION PTFs INST Package ------- --- ---- ----- -------- ----- --------------------- MF10795 REC N Y C5328310 X Underlying comm support for IPX MF10703 REC N Y C6016310 X IPX hangs on X.25 MF10811 REC Y Y C6060310 X Potential file corruption MF11153 REC Y Y C6016310 X Internal connection errors MF11030 REC Y C6016310 X Allows NLSP for X.25 and Frame relay lines MF11109 REC Y C6016310 X Fixes to SPX function MF11213 REC N Y C6016310 IPX 2617, 2619, and MF11435 RQD Y Y C6060310 Vary off *NW NWSD loop MF11758 HIP Y C6268310 Wait during restore MF11437 REC Y C6268310 Fixes for pipe task ******************************************************* ******************************************************* 5763SS1 STS SPC SUPER Cum 03/08 DESCRIPTION PTFs INST Package ------- --- ---- ----- -------- ----- --------------------- SF26442 REC Y Y C5328310 X Update for PWRDWNSYS SF26992 REC Y Y C5328310 X Req'd if loading IPX VLIC PTFs SF27186 RQD Y C5328310 X Fixes defective PTF SF26181 SF28301 REC Y Y C6016310 Req'd if loading IPX SF28511 RQD Y Fixes DBCS SBMNWSCMD ******************************************************* ******************************************************* 5733SA1 STS SPC SUPER Cum DESCRIPTION PTFs INST Package ------- --- ---- ----- -------- --------------------------- SF26937 REC N C6016310 Exit program - SA1 PTFs SF27934 REC N C6016310 IPX circuit, req'd if loading MF11109, MF11153 or MF11030 SF27629 REC Y C6060310 Corrupt SO/SI and truncated data sending NW console message (DBCS) SF28621 REC Y C6060310 Allow starting NW server without SYS: volume SF34423 REC Y Fix RESETCFGF for *NETWARE SF26819* REC Y WRKIPXSTS opt.2-4 2924 MRI version * This PTF is an MRI PTF and there are different PTFs for each language...

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. |
