Section 1 Installing Patches on a Native NetWare Server.
Section 2 Installing Patches on a NetWare of OS/2 Server.
Section 3 Installing Patches on a NetWare SFT III Server.
_________________________________________________________
Novell has provided an installation script to be used with INSTALL.NLM
"Product Options". However it is still possible to manually copy the
patches to the DOS partition.. C:\NWSERVER\PATCHES\410PT8..
This script file can be run in several ways:
1- From local A: Drive at Server.
2- From local Drive at Client using Rconsole (F4).
3- From local SYS: volume (F3), by specifying the path including
volume name..ie SYS:\410PT8.
4- From a different server on the network (F3) by specifying
full path including server name..ie Server_Name\SYS:\410PT8.
NOTE: Fastest installation in order of performance is: option 3, option 4, option 2, option 1.
PM410 has the following enhancements:
- "PMLOAD". PMLOAD will scan a specified directory and auto load
ALL patches in the directory..
EXAMPLE: PMLOAD C:\NWSERVER\PATCHES\NATIVE\START
- "PATCHES" console command has been enhanced.
- Patches are displayed alphabetically.
- Total number of Patches are at the bottom of the list.
- "UNLOAD PM410" will unload ALL patches as well.
_________________________________________________________
Note for NetFRAME customers:
Because of NetFRAMEs' unique architecture "Product Options" Install
can not copy the patches to the boot drive. Use the following
RCONSOLE method to copy the patches to the boot drive.
1) Unzip the patch file to any directory.
2) Run RCONSOLE and connect to the NetFRAME server that you
want to update.
3) Use ALT-F1 to bring up the RCONSOLE Menu.
4) Select the "Transfer Files To Server" option.
5) For the Source path, enter the complete DOS path,
for example f:\patch\native\start and press enter.
6) For the Destination path, enter C: and press enter.
RCONSOLE should then copy all the files located in the source directory. After that completes add the following lines to the STARTUP.NCF:
LOAD PM410
PMLOAD C:\
Remove all other load statements for PM410.NLM and patches.

Note for AS400 customers:
Because of AS400's unique architecture "Product Options" Install
can not copy the patches to the boot drive. Use the following
RCONSOLE method to copy the patches to the boot drive.
1) Unzip the patch file to any directory.
2) Run RCONSOLE and connect to the AS/400 server that you
want to update.
3) Use ALT-F1 to bring up the RCONSOLE Menu.
4) Select the "Transfer Files To Server" option.
5) For the Source path, enter the complete DOS path,
for example f:\patch\native\start and press enter.
6) For the Destination path, enter E: and press enter.
NOTE: Drive E: is a READ-WRITE DRIVE,
Drive F: is a READ-ONLY DRIVE.
RCONSOLE should then copy all the files located in the source directory.
After that completes add the following lines to the STARTUP.NCF:
LOAD PM410
PMLOAD E:\
Remove all other load statements for PM410.NLM and patches.
Do not remove the load statements for DIAG410.NLM, HIMOVE.NLM, and QFPLDISK.DSK.

Issue:
When selecting "PRODUCT OPTIONS" option in install, Screen to copy file appears instead of the "PRODUCT OPTIONS" screen.
(Copy Files Option, SCREEN)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| NetWare files will be installed from path: |
| |
| NW410:\NW410\INSTALL\ENGLISH\ |
| |
| If you are installing from CD-ROM or a network directory, verify |
| that the above path corresponds to the source directory where the |
| NetWare server installation files are located. On CD-ROM, this |
| will be path <drive_or_vo_name>:\NW410\INSTALL\<language_dir>. |
| |
| Press <F3> to specify a different path; |
| Press <Enter> to continue. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
Copy the following files from the NetWare CD: NETMAIN.ILS, NETMAIN.ICS, LANGFS.ILS to C:\NWSERVER.
D:\NW410\BOOT\NATIVE\NETMAIN.ICS 6,560 11-17-94 2:16p
D:\NW410\INSTALL\ENGLISH\NETMAIN.ILS 33,024 11-15-94 1:41p
D:\NW410\INSTALL\ENGLISH\SCRIPTS\LANGFS.ILS 2,130 10-31-94 4:57p
Generally this is a result of manually installing the server rather than
installing though INSTALL.BAT.

Issue:
When the Patch kit is installed, SERVER.EXE will be updated with the current version of LOADER. Some customers have indicated that the modified version of SERVER.EXE becomes corrupt with the following message:
LOADER-4.10-19: Error reading load file C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE.
This corruption has been linked to the DIE_HARD VIRUS.
Solution:
1-Scan the DOS Boot drive of the file server, as well as any locations where the patch kit may have been copied to. Novell has ensured that the virus has not been encapsulated in the compressed downloadable patch kit.
2-Rename SERVER.OLD or MSERVER.OLD to SERVER.EXE or MSERVER.EXE.
3-RUN LSWAP.EXE
USAGE: LSWAP [LoaderFilePath [ServerFilePath]]
Default LoaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
Default ServerFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE
4-Run the newly modified SERVER.EXE or MSERVER.EXE if running SFTIII.

Section 1 Installing Patches on a Native NetWare Server.
___________________________________________________________
IF INSTALLING ON A NATIVE NETWARE SERVER:
To Copy files :
Explode the patch kit to a diskette
(or see other install options at the top of this file).
Place diskette in "A:" drive at the Server.
Load "INSTALL.NLM",
Select "PRODUCT OPTIONS"
Select "INSTALL A PRODUCT NOT LISTED"
Select "ENTER" (Copy from A:\)
NOTE: PI_ICMD.NLM will load and copy files from the A: drive using the *.IPS script.
The following event will occur:
Patches will be copied
PM410 will be loaded
PMLOAD will scan the directory where the patch are & load them LSWAP will update SERVER.EXE if installing the 410PTx.EXE.
A backup of The STARTUP.NCF file will made and then the
STARTUP.NCF will be updated..
A Record will be added to the btrieve Products.dat file.
Some modules may NOT have loaded during this installation. These modules may be dependent on the version of PM410.NLM and also the version of LOADER.EXE.
To Complete the installation of this update, the server must be re-booted.
