Section 1 INSTALLING THE NETWARE 3/4 ODI SERVER DRIVER ON NETWARE 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can install and use the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on NetWare 3
file servers by loading some operating system patches and driver
support files in addition to the driver.
To install the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver on a NetWare 3 file
server, perform the following six steps:
I. Verify that the network interface card (NIC) is properly
configured and installed. Refer to your adapter documentation
for instructions.
II. Copy the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver files to either a DOS
partition (Step IIA.) or a NetWare partition (Step IIB.) of your
NetWare server hard disk.
NOTE
The LSLENH.NLM patch should only be installed and loaded on
NetWare 3.11 servers. NetWare 3.12 does not require this
patch.
A. To copy the files to a DOS partition, enter the following commands:
1. If installing on either NetWare 3.11 or NetWare 3.12:
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\DEPCA.LAN C:\
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM C:\
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\MSM31X.NLM C:\
2. If installing on NetWare 3.11 only, copy the following additional
files:
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\LSLENH.NLM C:\
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\PATCHMAN.NLM C:\
You may substitute C:\ with another DOS partition and
subdirectory.
B. To copy the files to a NetWare partition, you need to use the
NetWare 3.x Command Processor (NWSHELL). Contact Novell for
information on acquiring NWSHELL.NLM. Once you have NWSHELL.NLM,
perform the following steps to copy the files:
1. Load the NetWare 3.x Command Processor (NWSHELL.NLM) by
entering the following command at the server System Console
prompt:
:LOAD NWSHELL
2. Change to the SYS:SYSTEM directory by entering the following
command:
CD SYS:SYSTEM
3. Copy the driver files to the current directory by entering
the following commands:
a. If installing on either NetWare 3.11 or NetWare 3.12:
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\DEPCA.LAN
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\ETHERTSM.NLM
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\MSM31X.NLM
b. If installing on NetWare 3.11 only, copy the following
additional files:
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\LSLENH.NLM
COPY A:\NOVELL\SRVODI\3_1X\PATCHMAN.NLM
4. Enter "exit" to log out of the session then press any key to
return to the System Console prompt.
III. Perform substeps IIIA. and IIIB. to configure the NetWare 3 server
to use the NetWare 3/4 ODI server driver.
A. You can automatically load the server driver by adding the
appropriate instructions to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. You can also
issue these commands directly from the System Console.
1. While still in the INSTALL program, select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF
file." Add the following lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF to automatically
load and bind the new driver every time the server is brought up:
NOTE
The "slot," "frame," and "net" values given below are examples.
The slot number is the physical slot number in which the DE422
(in this example) was installed. The frame type is one of the
four supported frame types "ETHERNET_802.2", "ETHERNET_II",
"ETHERNET_SNAP", or "ETHERNET_802.3" frame types. The net
address is the external network address. Refer to the Novell
NetWare documentation on "Bind" for more information.
a. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.12 using
Step IIA1., enter the following commands:
LOAD C:\DEPCA slot=4 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO DEPCA net=00000001
b. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.11 using
Steps IIA1. and IIA2., enter the following commands:
LOAD C:\LSLENH
LOAD C:\DEPCA slot=4 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO DEPCA net=00000001
c. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.12 using
Step IIB3a., enter the following commands:
LOAD DEPCA slot=4 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO DEPCA net=00000001
d. If you installed the driver files on NetWare 3.11 using
Steps IIB3a. and IIB3b., enter the following commands:
LOAD LSLENH
LOAD DEPCA slot=4 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
BIND IPX TO DEPCA net=00000001
A drive path is not included for the load statements in the
third and fourth examples. This is because the DEPCA.LAN driver
files are copied to the SYS:SYSTEM directory, which is the
NetWare 3.1X default server path.
In the above examples, note that LSLENH.NLM is only loaded
under NetWare 3.11. Also, note that PATCHMAN.NLM is auto-loaded
when loading LSLENH.NLM. Similarly, loading DEPCA.LAN auto-loads
ETHERTSM.NLM which in turn auto-loads MSM31X.NLM. This allows
for fewer load statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and less
opportunity for driver load errors.
NOTE
Before saving the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, it is important to verify
that no older NetWare 3 server drivers are loaded prior to
loading LSLENH.NLM and/or MSM31X.NLM. Even though older NetWare
3 server drivers do not require the LSLENH patch or MSM31X,
unexpected behavior may result if LSLENH or MSM31X are loaded
after the driver. If using both older NetWare 3 and newer
NetWare 3/4 server drivers, be sure to load LSLENH.NLM and
MSM31X.NLM separately before loading any drivers.
e. Save the file with the changes. Answer "Yes" to the exit
prompt.
IV. Shut down the server by entering "DOWN" at the system console and
then enter "EXIT" to return to the DOS prompt.
V. Follow the instructions in your adapter documentation for connecting
the controller to the network.
VI. Restart the server with the ODI server driver.
Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
SERVER
The changes made to the STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files in step III
above take effect.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
