abstract

New loader.exe for NetWare 3.12/3.2 to register "configured" memory rather than "installed" memory.

installation

The loader.exe is integrated into the server.exe file for your server. To replace the loader.exe with this new revision of loader.exe, you will need to use the LSWAP utility against your server.exe. This utility comes in a DOS executable and NetWare NLM format. To upgrade the loader.exe implement one of the following two methods:

#2: DOS METHOD:

1. Down the server.
2. Copy the new loader.exe and lswap.exe into your NetWare boot directory where your server.exe resides. (typically c:\server.312)
3. Run lswap against the server.exe using the followin syntax.
LSWAP [loaderFilePath [serverFilePath]]
         Default loaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
         Default serverFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE

Example:
lswap c:\server.312\loader.exe c:\server.312\server.exe
4. When completed, there should be a server.old file containing your old server.exe and loader, and a new server.exe. Execute server.exe to bring the file server back up.

#2: NLM METHOD:

1. Place a floppy disk containing the new loader.exe and lswap.nlm in the server's A: drive.
2. Execute lswap.nlm to update the loader with the following syntax:
load a:\lswap a:\loader.exe c:\server.312\server.exe
3. After successful completion of the lswap.nlm, down and restart the file server.

issue

NetWare 3.12/3.2 does not always properly register the memory on some hardware platforms. This download includes a modified loader.exe that now makes the call to look at and register the "configured" memory rather than the "installed" memory. This will put 3.12/3.2 NetWare in line with the way NetWare 4.11 registers memory.
