Tivoli Management Environment (TME 10) Lightweight Client Framework (LCF)*
for
Novell NetWare 3.12*
---------------------------------------------------------------
TME 10 LCF is a lightweight client framework which allows limited invocation
of methods within the Tivoli Framework. LCF consists of the LCFd NLM (a long
running Unix-like daemon) and the LCF software development kit (a collection
of libraries and headers for development of LCF methods).
LCF DAEMON (LCFd):
1. AUTO LAUNCHING
LCFd has been installed on your NetWare server. To complete the install,
you must call the lcf.ncf file from your autoexec.ncf file. Doing this
will allow LCFd to auto launch each time the server is re-started.
You will find the lcf.ncf file in the SYSTEM directory on the
server. To launch LCFd, run the lcf.ncf file. The lcf.ncf file loads
the lcfutils.nlm library, then loads lcfd.nlm.
LCFd will launch with the the default configuration. To launch LCFd with
a custom configuration, you may use command line switches or a launch
configuration file. See the section entitled 'CUSTOMIZING LCFd' for more
details.
The first time LCFd launches it must perform an initial login. By default,
LCFd transmits UDP broadcast packets on port 9494 in order to locate a gateway
on the current subnet. If you configure your gateway on the current subnet to
utilize a port other than 9494, use the -p option when launching LCFd for the
first time. (i.e. If your gateway port is 6344, use the syntax; 'lcfd -p 6344')
Once an initial login occurs, it is not necessary to use the -p option.
LCFd on subsequent logins will direct connect to the gateway into which it
initially logged.
For initial deployments, it is recommended that a single gateway be deployed per
subnet. There is no limit to the number of LCFd's that can subscribe (or belong)
to that gateway. After analyzing network loading, you may decide to add additional
gateways to those subnets which have a dense concentration of LCFd's. Important: If
multiple gateways exist on the same subnet, each gateway must utilize a unique port
on that subnet.
Logging for the current Netware version of LCFd outputs to lcfd.log unless overridden
on the command line or config file. Log messages from LCFd are displayed on the LCFd
screen unless overridden on the command line or config file. Log messages from methods
are not displayed on the LCFd screen.
2. CUSTOMIZING LCFd
LCFd may be customized by launching with command line switches. The settings
established by these switches is stored in the cfgout.dat file for re-loading
on subsequent launches of LCFd. To restore settings to the programatic
defaults, remove the cfgout.dat file before launching LCFd.
If no switches are utilized, LCFd uses the following programatic defaults:
logfile = lcfd.log located in root of SYS volume
config output file = cfgout.dat located in root of SYS volume
config input file = searches for lcfd.cfg in root of SYS volume
gateway and lcfd port = uses the encoded port in the lcf.dat file
lcfd port = uses the gateway port
working directory = root of SYS volume
The following command line switches are available for LCFd:
-l log file
-d set debug (logging) verbosity
-c config file
-p gateway and lcfd port
-P lcfd port
-s start as console app on Windows NT
-i install lcfd as a service (Windows NT)
-r remove lcfd service (Windows NT)
-C working directory
-D supports these keys and default values):
lcfd_port=9495
gateway_port=9494
bcast_addr=255
log_threshold=2
start_timeout=10
run_timeout=20
logfile=lcfd.log
config_path=lcfd.cfg
run_dir=.
cache_loc=cache
debug_flags=0
log_size=1024000
log_queue_size=5120
lcs.machine_name=mmcdaniels
lcs.machine_unique_id=<UNDEFINED MACHINE ID>
lcs.crypt_mode=0
lcs.crypt_key=
lcs.interp=w32-ix86
lcs.login_interfaces=
lcs.gateway_address=
Additionally, LCFd can be customized by setting keys in a configuration file
which can be read at launching of LCFd. The following keys may be set in the
configuration file:
lcfd_port
gateway_port
bcast_addr
log_threshold
start_timeout
run_timeout
logfile
config_path
run_dir
cache_loc
debug_flags
log_size
log_queue_size
lcs.machine_name
lcs.machine_unique_id
lcs.crypt_mode
lcs.crypt_key
lcs.interp
lcs.login_interfaces
lcs.gateway_address
For more detailed information on configuration options, command line options,
and the operation of LCFd on NetWare, consult the 'Lightweight Client Framework
User's Guide."

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.
