1.0 Support Pack Installation
1.1 Requirements
700 MB CD-R Media with a supported CD-R device.
1.2 Suggested Software
Roxio Easy CD Creator, Nero, or any CD-burning
software that supports ISO formats.
1.3 NDS7 Install Not Supported
This overlay no longer includes an option to
install NDS 7. This overlay will install NDS8
only. If you need to install NDS7, you must
install the server from an original NetWare 5.1
CD and then install the NetWare Support Pack.
1.4 Creating a NetWare Overlay CD
The following steps are for using Roxio Easy CD
Creator 5. If you are using other CD-burning
software, consult the software's documentation
for specific instructions on how to create a CD
from an ISO image.
If you are installing from the Consolidated
Support Pack Overlay DVD, start with Step 2.
1. Extract the ISO file to a computer that has a
writable CD device.
2. In your CD-burning software, use the option
to Record CD from CD Image.
3. Browse to the location of the image.
4. Select the .iso file.
5. Click Open > Start Recording.
When recording is completed, you will have a
bootable CD that will install NetWare and the
Support Pack simultaneously. The correct CD
volume label is created automatically.
1.5 Prior to Installation
Make sure the directory c:\nwupdate has no old
files in it left from a previous install before
you begin to copy files into this directory. When
the installation is complete, delete the
c:\nwupdate directory.
1.6 Installing NetWare Using the Overlay CD
After you have created an overlay CD, you can
install NetWare following the installation or
upgrade documentation.
1. Insert your overlay CD into the server's CD
drive and power on the server.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts.
The NetWare 6 documentation is available at
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw6p/index
.html.
1.7 Install Pauses after Choosing to Restart Server
After the GUI install prompts to restart the
server, an install script runs to install
additional components. This script takes about
several minutes to complete.
The version numbers are updated in the Installed
Products list (products.dat), then the server is
restarted.
1.8 Product Versions Not Updated in Installed
Products List
If your Installed Products list is not displaying
the correct product versions, complete the
following:
1. Make sure the pupdate.ips file is found in
your sys:\system directory.
2. In NWCONFIG, select Product Options > Install
a Product Not Listed.
3. Press F3, then enter the path
sys:\system\pupdate.ips.
1.9 Update Product Versions after Accelerated Upgrade
After using the Accelerated Upgrade Method, you
must do a post install of the products you want
to run on the server. The post install does not
update the product versions. To update the
product versions as displayed in View Installed
Products, complete the following:
1. At the server console, load NWCONFIG.
2. Select Product Options > Install a ProductNot
Listed.
3. Press F3 and then specify the path, including
the volume name to pupdate.ips. For example,
sys:\system.
The product versions will then be updated.
2.0 Issues
2.1 Upgrading the Support Pack
If you have a NetWare 5.1 server and want to
update it to include the current Support Pack,
you should install just the NetWare 5.1 Support
Pack. Running the overlay as an upgrade is
supported only when upgrading from NetWare 5.0 or
earlier.
2.2 LSI IDE Driver
To use LSI's IDE driver instead of Novell's
IDEATA driver during a custom installation of
NetWare do the following:
1. When prompted to accept the IDEATA storage
driver, arrow down and select Modify
2. Highlight the IDEATA driver and press Del to
remove the driver from the list of storage
drivers to install.
3. Press Ins to add a new driver to install,
then enter the driver name.
4. Arrow down and select Return to driver menu.
5. Arrow down and select Continue, and continue
with the installation.
If you are using a Default installation, you will
need to use Novell's IDEATA driver.
2.3 LDAP Authentication
If you cannot log in at the LDAP authentication
screen during a NetWare 5.1 overlay install,
update your sys:etc\hosts file with your IP
address and server name.
2.4 Security Domain Error
If you install a NetWare 5.1 server (without any
Support Packs) into the same replica ring as a
NetWare 6 server or a NetWare 5.1 server with
Support Pack 5 or later, the security
certificates will not be created successfully and
the following error will be displayed:
Error while contacting security domain
infrastructure key server. Error #125
This is because the default NetWare 5.1 version
of NICI (1.5.x) is incompatible with NICI version
2.02 in NetWare 6 and NICI version 2.01 in
NetWare 5.1 Server with Support Pack 5 or later.
To resolve this, use the overlay NetWare 5.1
Support Pack 7 to install the server.
2.5 NetWare 5.1 Install Hangs
If you install a NetWare 5.1 server into a tree
with a NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 4 or earlier and
a NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 5 or later server, the
install will hang. This is because the default
NICI version 1.5.x in NetWare is incompatible
with NICI version 2.01 in NetWare 5.1 Server with
Support Pack 5 or later.
To resolve this, upgrade the NICI on all the
servers by installing the latest Support Pack.
Install new servers into the tree only using a
NetWare overlay install CD.
2.6 NWDEPLOY and Certificate Server
If you are running NWDEPLOY from a workstation to
install Certificate Server on a server, you might
receive an error. The error occurs when the
installation reaches 100% and it attempts to
extend the schema. To resolve this, use the
Install option on the Server GUI.
2.7 Tools Directory Not Included
The \tools directory is not included in this
overlay image. If you need files from \tools, you
must go to the Support Pack.
2.8 Using a Response Files
Due to changes in the syntax of the response.txt
file, you must create a new reponse.txt to use
with this overlay and subsequent installs.
Response.txt files that worked with previous
Support Packs will not work with this release.
For information on creating a response file,
refer to the NetWare product documentation at
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw51.
2.9 -625 error during NW51 Deployment Manager
Post-install of Certificate Server
If you receive a -625 error during the
post-install of the Certificate Server remotely
with NetWare 5.1, try copying the
ni\bin\pkiwrap.dll from overlay to c:\program
files\common files\novell\ni\bin\ and then retry
the post-install.
2.10 Abend in TCPIP during the Install
If there are more than three servers in the
eDirectory tree, and if the servers in the
replica ring have the NCP Packet Signature set to
2 or 3, a new server being installed into the
tree might abend in tcpip.nlm.
To resolve this, change this setting on the
servers that hold a replica. To set this, load
Monitor and select Server Parameters > NCP > NCP
Packet Signature Option > 0 or 1. See also TID
10057304.

1.0 Installation Issues
Installation instructions are in nw51sp8.txt located
at the root of the Support Pack.
1.1 Sys: Does Not Mount after Install
If volume sys: does not mount after installing
this Support Pack and restarting the server,
restore your previous storage driver. Storage
drivers used prior to installing the Support Pack
are backed up (even if you did not choose the
backup option during the install). Look at the
server's startup.ncf file to determine the
storage driver being used. Then copy the storage
driver from
c:\nwserver\backsp8\storage\<driver_name>.* to
c:\nwserver. Be sure to copy without using a file
extension (file.*) so you get the driver's
associated configuration file.
1.2 Reinstalling the Support Pack with IDE Hardware
If you install this support pack again after
having already installed it, you might be
prompted to enter a new slot choice for
ideata.ham after you restart the server. When the
ideata.ham first loads to press Enter with a new
slot choice and write down the slot number. After
the server starts, edit c:\nwserver\startup.ncf
and enter the slot number your wrote down
earlier. This eliminates the slot prompt on
startup. This change is necessary to support
changes in new hardware.
1.3 ZENworks for Servers
If you are installing this Support Pack on a
server with ZENworks for Servers installed, the
TED component of ZENworks for Servers 3 might not
start after installing this Support Pack. If TED
exits with a -105 error "Cannot resolve DNS
name", modify the sys:\etc\hosts file to include
the fully qualified domain name and then restart
TED.
1.4 Increase File Handles in Config.sys
NetWare might require additional file handles.
You should edit c:\config.sys on your NetWare
server and increase the Files= parameter to 100.
If there are insufficient file handles, an NLM
program might not load or the server might hang.
1.5 MailFilter 1.5
Before installing the Support Pack on a server
with MailFilter 1.5 installed, unload mfnrm.nlm,
the MailFilter/Fax Remote Management snap-in for
NetWare Management Portal. This snap-in to
portal.nlm and httstk.nlm will prevent these
modules from unloading properly during the
Support Pack install.
1.6 ManageWise 2.7
If ManageWise is running on your server during
the Support Pack install, the install script will
stop because Java cannot unload with ManageWise
2.7 running.
To work around this problem, complete the
following steps:
1. In the autoexec.ncf file, comment out the
following ManageWise lines:
netxplor.ncf
nma5.ncf
mw_auto.ncf
lanz.ncf (if loaded)
2. Restart the server.
3. Install the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack.
4. In the autoexec.ncf file, remove the comment
from the ManageWise lines listed in Step 2.
5. Restart the server by entering RESET SERVER.
1.7 Error Message with Vtxkill.nlm
If there are problems unloading Java, follow the
instructions in the error message which is
displayed:
The Support Pack is attempting to Unload
vtxkill.nlm. You might need to toggle screens and
press a key.
1.8 Install Appears to Stop
If the install program for the Support Pack
appears to have stopped, toggle through the
console screens to ensure all programs have
terminated. Occasionally, a program (like
VTXKILL) will require user intervention to quit.
The install will then continue.
1.9 Installing Updated LAN and Storage Drivers
Due to the wide variety of hardware
configurations, the updated LAN and storage
drivers might not work in your specific
environment.
If you chose to install the updated LAN and
storage drivers during the Support Pack install
and encountered a problem, you should use the
drivers you were using prior to installing the
Support Pack.
The old drivers were backed up to
c:\nwserver\backsp8 (whether or not you chose to
install the updated LAN and storage drivers).
1.10 Installing Novell Products after the Support Pack
The Support Pack detects which products are
installed and automatically updates the files
needed for those products. Products installed
after the Support Pack might overwrite newer
files installed by the Support Pack.
For example, if you install a Novell product like
BorderManager after installing the Support Pack,
you need to reinstall the Support Pack;
otherwise, some features (like VPN) might not
function and some files might be overwritten by
an older version.
1.11 Install Backup Takes Longer
The Backup option might take longer than previous
Support Packs because it also backs up files of
additional products that will be updated.
1.12 Simultaneous NetWare 5.1 and Support Pack Install
You can download a CD image that installs NetWare
5.1 and the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack
simultaneously. See the Consolidated Support Pack
Web site (http://support.novell.com/tools/csp)
for information on downloading the image or the
Consolidated Support Pack DVDs.
1.13 eDirectory Updates
The Support Pack does not include updates for
versions of eDirectory that shipped after NetWare
5.1 shipped. If you have upgraded eDirectory to a
newer version, such as eDirectory 8.6.2 or 87,
you will need to get the updates for these
products from the Novell Downloads Web site
(http://download.novell.com).
Some products might be affected if you do not
install the eDirectory updates after installing
the Support Pack.
1.14 Running Accelerated Upgrade
Beginning with Support Pack 8, accelerated
upgrades are no longer suppported. Select a
different method of installation.
1.15 NWDEPLOY and Certificate Server
If you are running NWDEPLOY from a workstation to
install Certificate Server on a server, you might
receive an error. The error occurs when the
installation reaches 100% and it attempts to
extend the schema. To resolve this, use the
Install option on the Server GUI.
1.16 JVM 1.3.1 Option
If you choose to install the JVM 1.3.1 during the
Support Pack installation, you are prompted with
Have you reviewed the file nw51_iss.txt for
product dependencies? You must read this file,
then select Yes. If you select No, ConsoleOne
1.3.5 is installed but JVM 1.3.1 is not
installed. ConsoleOne 1.3.5 requires JVM 1.3.1 in
order to run. To resolve this, reinstall the
Support Pack and read the file nw51_iss.txt.
1.17 Understanding When ConsoleOne Is Updated
ConsoleOne is updated if any of the following
conditions is met:
- You choose to have the Support Pack install
JVM 1.3 or you already have JVM 1.3 installed
- ConsoleOne 1.3x or later is installed
- You have a version of eDirectory earlier than
8.7
2.0 New Issues for this Support Pack 8
2.1 Abends After Adding Volume Space Or Expanding
Pools
If the server abends after adding volume space or
expanding pools, there may be an issue with the
disk drivers. To resolve this, use the older
SCSIHD.* files found in
c:\nwserver\backsp3\drivers, and copy these files
to c:\nwserver. You should contact the storage
vendor for updated drivers that resolve this
problem. This issue has been reported with
Adaptec and other storage drivers. The files
aarichd.ham and aarichi.ham do not have this
issue and have replaced aarich.ham. This issue
has not been reported with the RAID or PERC
drivers contained in this support pack.
2.2 Deactivating Storage Devices
If you deactivate a device using Monitor (from
the Storage Devices menu), the selected storage
device is deactivated; however, Monitor never
returns, and it hangs on the Deactivate Drive
prompt. Although the server continues to function
properly, all storage management processes also
appear to hang from that point on. To resolve
this, reboot the server.
2.3 Cannot Set Simple Password Using NetWare Remote
Manager
When running NetWare 5.1 Suppo4 Pack 8 in a mixed
tree with NetWare 6 and NetWare 6.5 servers, you
might receive the following error when setting
simple passwords with NetWare Remote Manager
running from a NetWare 5.1 server:
Http Error Code 412
Unable to set password for
.user100.Novell.ST-INCREDIBLES.
NMAS error = -1659 which is
NMAS_E_ACCESS_NOT_ALLOWED
To resolve this, use Novell iManager from a
server running NetWare 6.5 to set simple and
universal passwords.
This issue is resolved using an updated NMAS
client.
2.4 Using Scopes with SLPDA
In this Support Pack, SLP does not support the
use of an Unscoped Scope, but in some previous
NetWare 5.1 Support Packs it did not prevent the
naming of a scope as UNSCOPED. Slpda.nlm now
enforces this prohibition, and it will not load
with an scope named UNSCOPED.
To resolve this, rename the scope from UNSCOPED
to something else. For more information, refer to
TID 10059981
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searcht
id.cgi?/10059981.htm).
2.5 Problem Loading NSS Volumes Created with NSS
Administration Menus
If you use the NSS Administration menus option to
create and manage NSS volumes, make sure to add
the load NSS command in your autoexec.ncf file.
Place the load NSS command before the mount all
command in the file.
3.0 Issues from Support Pack 7
3.1 Grace Connections Changed
The number of grace connections was changed from
two to three.
3.2 Using ACPI Drivers
If you are doing a new server install using the
Overlay CD on a server machine that supports
ACPI, the install will auto-detect and load the
correct hardware support modules (PSMs), whether
it is MPS14 or ACPI. If your server has a P4
processor that supports HyperThreading and this
feature is Enabled in the machine's BIOS, the
ACPI driver will detect the setting and enable
the multiple logical processors. The machine's
BIOS must be set up correctly before beginning
the NetWare Install, in order for the automatic
hardware feature detection to work correctly.
There is no benefit in "manually" loading ACPI
drivers on a machine that does not support
HyperThreading. For example, NetWare does not
support ACPI on Pentium III machines with the
Novell ACPI drivers. For a list of tested and
approved hardware, see the Novell Developer Web
site
(http://developer.novell.com/yessearch/Search.jsp
).
3.3 NSS Volume Fails to Mount After Device
Deactivation and Reactivation
On NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 7, the server fails
to mount an NSS volume after the device with the
NSS volume is deactivated and then reactivated.
To resolve this problem, update the NSS Media
Manager Provider:
1. Load NWCONFIG.
2. Select NSS Disk Options.
3. Select Storage (Configure NSS Storage).
4. Select Update Provider Information.
5. Select MMPRV NSS Media Manager Provider.
On successful update, the NWCONFIG console
returns the following message:
6. Scan of selected Provider was successful.
7. Mount the NSS volume.
3.4 Down Command Powers Off Server with ACPI Drivers
If you are using the latest Novell-supplied PSM
drivers on machines with ACPI support
(acpidrv.psm), you might notice that the Down
command powers off the server as part of the
NetWare server software shutting down. This is
because most ACPI-compliant hardware requires a
power cycle to reinitialize the ACPI tables
before the NetWare server can be restarted.
Instead of using the Down Command, use Reset
Server to bring the machine back up
automatically.
3.5 Macintosh Extended Characters Not Supported
Macintosh Extended Characters are not supported
with AFP. Using extended characters can cause
corruption if the file is written to an NSS
volume.
3.6 Packet Receive Buffers Default Changed
Beginning with Support Pack 6, the Minimum Packet
Receive Buffers and the Maximum Packet Receive
Buffers defaults were changed to 500 and 5,000,
respectively.
3.7 SMDR Resolution Support
SMDR now resolves targets available in the
etc\hosts file and the configured DNS server in
the machine where SMDR is running.
3.8 SMDR IP Selection Support
SMDR can be configured to listen at any bound IP
address in the machine using the new SMDR
interface or NetWare Management Portal under IP
address Management.
3.9 Timesync Changes
Beginning with Support Pack 7, you can administer
Timesync and view the Timesync health parameters
from NetWare Management Portal. For more
information, see TID 10080009
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searcht
id.cgi?/10080009.htm).
3.10 Accepting Multiple Certificates with IE6 browser
When accessing the NetWare Management Portal from
a client running Internet Explorer version 6, you
might have to accept multiple browser
certificates. To resolve this, edit the server's
autoexec.ncf after installing the Support Pack
and change the line that loads portal.nlm to read
as follows:
load portal.nlm /NFP
Either unload and then reload the Management
Portal using the Unload button on the
Configuration Page or reboot the server for the
change to take effect. You will be prompted to
log in to the NetWare 5.1 Management Portal
before any Front Page information is displayed,
including the items that were requiring a
certificate to be accepted multiple times.
/NFP stand for "No Front Page" and makes the
NetWare 5.1 Management Portal login behave
similarly to the NetWare 6 and NetWare 6.5
versions of NetWare Management Portal.
3.11 Resolving Port Conflicts
NetWare Management Portal and Enterprise Web
Server use the same default port number, 80, so
there might be a port conflict when doing a
NetWare 5.1 Support Pack upgrade. There is no
port conflict when all components are installed
on the NetWare 5.1 server, including NetWare
Management Portal and Enterprise Web Server.
However, if a server is upgraded and then
Enterprise Web Server is installed, you might run
into a conflict. To resolve this, use Remote
Manager to change the default port number from 80
to 81 and then restart the server.
3.12 ConsoleOne 1.3.5 and JVM 1.4.x Not Supported
If you are running ConsoleOne 1.3.5 and install
JVM 1.4.x, ConsoleOne will no longer
work.ConsoleOne 1.3.6 works with JVM 1.4.x.
3.13 Error When Loading Timesync
When loading Timesync on a server, you might
receive the following error on the server
console:
TIMESYNC: Unrecognized parameter in configuration
file.
Ignore these errors; they do not affect Timesync
functionality in any way.
3.14 Only First Node Can Join a Cluster
If you run IPFLT after installing the Support
Pack and only the first node can join the
cluster, complete the following to resolve this.
Turn off the default filtering of the packets
when IPFLT31 is loaded. The following parameter
should be turned off at the server console:
set Filter Subnet Broadcast Packets=off
4.0 Issues from Support Pack 6
4.1 FTP Server Issues
4.1.1 Security Extensions
NetWare FTP server is now capable of
establishing secure connections with
secure FTP clients. After successful
negotiation of the SSL/TLS mechanism, all
the commands, replies, and data
transferred are encrypted.
4.1.2 Configuration File Update
The SECURE_CONNECTIONS_ONLY parameter has
been added to the configuration file
etc\ftpserv.cfg. This parameter lets you
specify only secure FTP connections.
4.1.3 Dynamic Updates to Restrictions File
By default, the changes made to the FTP
Server configuration and restrictions
files now take effect dynamically. If
required, you can disable the dynamic
configuration.
4.1.4 Unloading a Single Instance
Unloading a single instance of FTP Server
is now supported. To unload a single
instance use the following command syntax:
nwftpd -u
[volname:[/dirname/...]]myconfig.cfg
4.1.5 Modifying Parameters for FTP Server
The following parameters can be modified
only in the ftpserv.cfg configuration
file.
- DATA_BUFF_SIZE
- KEEPALIVE_TIME
- DEFAULT_FTP_CONTEXT
- PSEUDO_PERMISSIONS including
PSEUDO_FILE_PERMISSIONS and
PSEUDO_DIR_PERMISSIONS
You cannot modify these parameters using
the NetWare Web Manager management
utility.
4.1.6 Data Transfer Issues for FTP Server
When the DATA_BUFF_SIZE configuration
parameter is set to certain values such as
512 KB or 1020 KB, operations such as get,
put, ls, and dir for more than 10,000
files in a directory might give errors.
To resolve these errors, set the
DATA_BUFF_SIZE parameter to a lesser
value.
4.2 Apache Web Server
If your server has the Apache Web server
installed, which is not included with NetWare 5.1
or in this Support Pack, you might receive the
following error after installing the Support
Pack:
[crit](10022)Unknown error: make_secure_socket:
for port 443, WSAIoctl: (SO_SSL_SET_SERVER)
<press a key to close this screen>
To finish the Support Pack installation, press a
key. If you have used ZENworks for Servers to
install the Support Pack, you need to go to the
server console or use Rconsole to press a key for
the install to finish.
4.3 NDPS Error When Attaching to Queues
If you are receive an NDPSM-3.1-108 Error (-344)
while attaching to queues associated with a
printer, refer to TID 10081038
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searcht
id.cgi?/10081038.htm) for more information.
4.4 iPrint Map Designer
If the printer agent name contains a space, then
the driver settings will not be saved. To resolve
this, complete the following:
1. Open sys:\login\ippdocs\tool.js in a text
editor.
Search for the following line of code:
2. if(escapedURL != oldURL)
and replace it with the following:
if(escapedURL != EscapeUrl(oldURL))
3. Save the file.
4.5 Timesync Issues
Beginning with NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6, you
can administer Timesync from NetWare Management
Portal. For more information see TID 10080009
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searcht
id.cgi?/10080009.htm).
4.6 JVM Issues
4.6.1 ZENworks for Desktops
ZENworks for Desktops version 3.0 requires
the installation of Support Pack 1 or
later for ZENworks 3, when using JVM
1.3.1. The Support Pack is available from
Novell Downloads Web site
(http://download.novell.com).
4.6.2 ZENworks for Servers
Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED) uses
security certificates to allow subscribers
to verify that the distribution they are
receiving is from a trusted source. This
feature will not work in a mixed JVM
1.1.7b and JVM 1.3.1 environment (where
you have some TED components running on
servers with JVM 1.1.7b and other TED
components running on servers with JVM
1.3.1) using ZENworks for Servers version
2 and 3.0.2.
If you choose to run TED in this
environment, it will be necessary to turn
off the use of the Security Certificate.
See TID 10062395
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/10062395.htm) for more
information.
4.6.3 TED Unable to Generate Keys with ZENworks
for Servers 3.0.2
TED is unable to generate its ephemeral
keys on a NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6 server
Support Pack 3 server with JVM 1.3.1_06.
This inability to generate ephemeral keys
means no encrypted distribution support is
possible.
To resolve this, download the patch
associated with TID 2965417
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/2965417.htm).
4.6.4 OnDemand
If using OnDemand v1.5 with JVM 1.3.1,
edit the file sys:\system\usageserver.ncf
and change the following line
java -ns -classpath $USAGECLASSPATH
UsageServer
to read
java -ns -Xbootclasspath $USAGECLASSPATH
UsageServer
4.6.5 Novell Servlet Gateway and Web Search
Server Administration
The Novell Servlet Gateway and Web Search
Server Administration are incompatible
with JVM 1.22 or later.
4.7 Timesync with Secondary Server
If there is a pure IPX single server in a tree,
then the IP/IPX secondary server does not
auto-discover the single server.
This can be resolved by the completing the
following:
1. Set Timesync Configured Sources = ON.
2. Set Timesync Time Source = <File Server Name
of your time source>.
3. Set Timesync Restart Flag = ON.
4.8 Confirming Security Certificates When Accessing
the NetWare Management Portal
If you are using Internet Explorer 6 as the
browser for the NetWare Management Portal, you
might notice that you are asked to confirm
several security certificates when you first log
in to the Management Portal.
To resolve this, point the browser directly to
the secure port for Portal
(https://<IP_address>:8009) instead of the
unsecure port (http://<IP_address>:8008) or by
using Netscape as the browser.
5.0 Issues from Earlier Support Packs
5.1 Location of CLIB Changed
The following server library files were moved
from sys:\system to c:\nwserver:
clib.nlm
clibaux.nlm
clibctx.nlm
fpsm.nlm
lib0.nlm
libc.nlm
nit.nlm
nlmlib.nlm
requestr.nlm
threads.nlm
Because the c:\nwserver directory is in the
search path for loading server modules, this
change should be transparent to all applications
using the library modules. This is a permanent
change of location starting with NetWare 5.1
Support Pack 3.
The advantages of having these files in the
server's startup directory are that other modules
that load before the sys: volume can use them and
they can be easily replaced as needed, even if
the sys: volume will not mount.
5.2 Remove SET CLIENT FILE CACHING ENABLED=OFF from
Autoexec.ncf
If you have a SET CLIENT FILE CACHING ENABLED=OFF
statement in your autoexec.ncf, you should remove
it.
This was originally needed to address a
connection problem with the server and NT client
where an NT connection could not be cleared. This
issue has been resolved.
5.3 Error When Loading Timesync
When loading Timesync on a server, you might
receive an error on the server console: TIMESYNC:
Unrecognized parameter in configuration file.
Ignore these errors; they do not affect Timesync
functionality in any way.
5.4 NetWare Web Manager Reports Incorrect TCP Port
If the administration server is listening for
inbound connections on a port higher than 33000,
the NetWare Web Manager screen reports that the
port is 4294937760. Any port higher than 33000
will cause this to happen. Functionality is not
affected.
5.5 Daylight Savings SET Parameters
The following SET parameters have been removed
starting with NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 4 because
they are obsolete and should not be used:
SET Daylight Savings Time Status
SET New Time With Daylight Savings Time Status
ongoing
5.6 Installing DirXML
After installing DirXML on a server, reboot the
server to complete the installation; otherwise,
you might experience an abend.
5.7 Novell IPP Server Update
Novell IPP Server has been optimized to work with
the HTTP Interface (httpstk.nlm). A Novonyx
configuration is not supported.
5.8 Using WebDav and WebPublishing
WebDav and WebPublishing cannot be run
simultaneously on a server.
5.9 JVM Issues
5.9.1 Sixteen-Color Video Not Supported
JVM 1.1.7b supported video with 16 colors.
JVM versions 1.2.2 and later do not
support 16 colors and require support for
at least 256 colors.
Before installing a newer JVM, you should
verify that you can set the video driver
to Super VGA (256 colors). If you cannot,
you need to install a new video board that
supports at least 256 colors.
5.9.2 New Accelerated Display Drivers
JVM 1.3.1 has upgraded the GUI to use
Accelerated-X Display server 6.0. This
version does not support some older video
cards.
If you are using the accelerated drivers,
you should set the video driver back to
Super VGA either by using the GUI
Environment tool or by running VESA_RSP at
the server console. After installing JVM
1.3.1, you can then go back and reset your
video driver to an accelerated driver.
5.9.3 Oracle and JVM
Oracle version 8.1.5 will not install on a
server that has JVM 1.2.2 or later
installed. To work around this, install
JVM 1.1.7b and then install Oracle. If you
need JVM 1.2.2 or later, install it after
installing Oracle.
Oracle version 8.1.6 will install on a
server that has JVM 1.2.2 installed;
however, Oracle will not uninstall.
5.9.4 Using OnDemand with JVM
OnDemand 1.5 is supported using JVM 1.2.2.
OnDemand 1.0 is not supported with JVM
1.2.2 or later.
5.9.5 Using GroupWise Monitor with JVM
GroupWise Monitor requires JVM 1.1.7b or
earlier and will not work with later
versions of JVM.
5.9.6 WebSphere 3.0.x and JVM
WebSphere 3.0.x does not run with JVM
1.2.2 or later. If WebSphere is installed
on the server, installing the Support Pack
will not upgrade the Java version, even if
the upgrade is selected during the Support
Pack install.
5.9.7 WebSphere Update
The Consolidated Support Pack no longer
includes WebSphere. To download the latest
version of WebSphere, go to Novell
Download Web site
(http://download.novell.com).
5.9.8 WebSphere 3.5.x Does Not Run on JVM 1.3.1
If you install JVM 1.3.x, you need to
completely uninstall WebSphere. Failure to
do so could result in an unstable system.
For more information on removing
WebSphere, see TID 10065899
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/10065899.htm).
5.10 Custom XServer Backgrounds Reset
After installing the Support Pack, the NetWare
XServer image might be reset to the NetWare 5.1
default graphic. To use your XServer image,
complete the following steps:
1. From the graphical user interface at the
server console, click Novell > Settings >
Backgrounds.
2. Select the image you want to use.
3. Click OK.
5.11 SSL Certificate Error
After installing the Support Pack, you might
receive the following error: "SAS failed to
initialize with KMO/key=SSL Certificate DNS!
(-11)".
To correct this error, enter the following
commands at the server console in the order
listed:
nswebdn
unload sas.nlm
load sas.nlm
nsweb
5.12 Installing GroupWise 5.5 or the Enhancement Pack
After installing the NetWare Support Pack and
then installing GroupWise 5.5 or the GroupWise
5.5 Enhancement Pack, the following error might
appear:
Install detected that you are installing the
GroupWise agents to a NetWare 4 server. Before
running the agents, you must update the server's
CLIB files. For more information, see the readme
file located on the root of the GroupWise CD. Do
you want to continue Installation? Yes/No
Select Yes and the install will proceed normally.
Solutions
5.13 File Update for ManageWise 2.7
If you are running ManageWise 2.7 and install the
Support Pack, nxipx.nlm might break into the
debugger. This is not an abend. To correct this
issue, download mwnxpfix.exe from the Novell
Support Connection
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searcht
id.cgi?/2958823.htm).
5.14 Changing the Server Configuration
In order to install quickly, the Support Pack
installation detects the current server
configuration and installs the appropriate files.
If you change the server configuration, you need
to reinstall the Support Pack for the new
configuration.
For example, if LDAP Services for NDS is
installed on a NetWare 5.1 server before the
Support Pack is installed, then the Support Pack
installation automatically upgrades LDAP Services
for NDS. If LDAP Services for NDS is installed
after the Support Pack installation, you need to
reinstall the Support Pack to bring LDAP Services
for NDS up to the Support Pack level.
5.15 Firewall Considerations with Timesync.nlm
Timesync.nlm Includes a modified method for
exchanging time over NTP over the firewall. A new
SET parameter (NTP Client Port) has been added to
configure the source port of an NTP Request sent
from within a firewall.
Ideally, you should configure one server to get
time from the Internet. The firewall should be
configured to allow packets to and from this one
server on the specified NTP Client Port.
All other servers within the firewall should get
their time from this configured server.
5.16 BorderManager Issues
5.16.1 Border Manager 3.6 Abend
After installing the Support Pack, your
server might abend in tcp.nlm any time a
client to site VPN connection is
initiated. To resolve this, install the
BorderManager 3.6 Support Pack available
from the Support Web site
(http://support.novell.com).
5.16.2 Border Manager Installation
When installing BorderManager, the
server's tcpip.nlm is replaced with a
secure version of the file. This version
of tcpip.nlm is not compatible with some
of the files in this Support Pack. You
must reinstall this Support Pack after
installing BorderManager to get the
correct version of the secure tcpip.nlm
installed and to get the compatible files
installed. Failure to do so will result in
an error, such as: "File
sys:\system\bsdsock.nlm cannot be opened."
5.16.3 Installing BorderManager 3.6 after
Installing the Support Pack
Before installing BorderManager 3.6, you
need to download additional files from the
Novell Support Connection. For more
information, see TID 2960217
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/2960217.htm).
5.17 NDPS Issues
5.17.1 NDPS Printer Drivers
The NDPS workstation printer drivers are
no longer included with the Support Pack.
Updated drivers are available from the
printer vendor's Web site.
5.17.2 NDPS Printer Drivers Compressed
The following applies if NetWare 5.1
Support Pack 3 was not installed prior to
this Support Pack.
After installing this Support Pack and
rebooting the server, the NDPS printer
drivers are compressed on the server the
first time the Resource Management Service
(RMS) is loaded. If RMS is enabled by
default, the compression begins when
broker.nlm is loaded for the first time.
This process can take over 20 minutes.
During this process, neither broker.nlm
nor zlib.nlm can be unloaded. The server
cannot be restarted until this process is
complete. This process happens only once
on servers that are running the NDPS
broker.
The benefits of this are that work is
transitioned from the server and
distributed to the clients, traffic is
greatly reduced, and printer driver
distribution is more reliable.
5.18 NetWare Storage Management Services (SMS) Issues
5.18.1 Windows TSA and NWBACK32 Support
Novell has discontinued support for
NWBACK32 and the Target Service Agent
(TSA) components for Windows.
In case the of a Novell Client for Windows
upgrade, NetWare SMS components existing
on the system from a previous installation
will not be deleted and the Target Service
will be activated on start up.
In the case of a NetWare upgrade, the
modules existing on the server
(tsaproxy.nlm and sbsc.nlm) from a
previous installation are not deleted.
However, they are not autoloaded.
5.18.2 Supervisor Right for Open Files Backup
The Supervisor right is required to back
up open files.
5.18.3 Migrated Files Backup
Backup of migrated files is not supported
on Novell Storage Services (NSS) file
system.
5.18.4 Canwpa.cdm for ARCserveIT 6.6
When using ARCserveIT 6.6 with this
Support Pack, we strongly recommend that
you use canwpa.cdm instead of nwaspi.cdm.
See the ARCserve Service Pack Readme for
details on how to use canwpa.cdm.
5.18.5 Storage Management Services Path Length
Support
Backup and restore of directories and
files with path lengths greater than 300
characters are not supported on
traditional file system.
5.18.6 ArcServe Patches
Computer Associates provides the fixes for
ARCserve. You should apply the appropriate
patches to avoid abending the server. To
download patches, go to Computer
Associates Support Web site
(http://www3.ca.com/support).
5.18.7 Extended Attribute Backups
Backup of files with Extended Attributes
fails on NSS 2.x volumes.
5.18.8 Trustee Backups
Backup of files with more than 10,000
trustees fails on NSS 2.x volumes.
5.18.9 SMDR Discovery using eDirectory
SMDR no longer supports eDirectory as a
mechanism for discovery. SMDR uses SLP or
SAP for discovery and in addition can use
hosts/DNS for name resolution. SMDR can be
configured to use these services through a
policy ladder mechanism that can be
defined using the load time parameter SMDR
NEW.
5.19 Creating Files or Directories with Double-byte
Characters Using FTP Server
If you create a file or directory in a DOS name
space on a server with double-byte characters,
the file or directory is created; however, the
message to the FTP client might contain a
different name.
This happens especially with the 0x8374 character
in Shift_JIS, 30D5 in Unicode that gets converted
to the 0x8354 character in Shift_JIS, 30B5.
5.20 ADSync with ConsoleOne Issue
After installing ADSync while using ConsoleOne,
you might not be able to browse NDS using the
tree. To resolve this, ensure that the
workstation running ConsoleOne has a primary
Novell Client connection to a server running NDS
8.5.
5.21 NetWare Management Portal Issues
5.21.1 Unloading and Reloading Portal.nlm and
Httpstk.nlm
To unload and reload the portal.nlm and
httpstk.nlm modules used for NetWare
Management Portal, use the Restart button
on the NetWare Management Portal
Configuration Options page. This function
keeps track of additional plug-in modules
and reloads them correctly when portal.nlm
and httpstk.nlm are reloaded.
If you just unload portal.nlm or
httpstk.nlm at the server console, you
might run into issues with module
dependencies (like Timesync, LibC,
Tcpstats, Nwusage, etc.) that have been
established, and the NLM might not unload.
If you successfully unload the modules,
the dependent plug-in modules have to be
loaded manually after portal.nlm.
5.21.2 New NetWare Management Portal Screen
Beginning with Support Pack 4, a dynamic
console screen applet to NetWare
Management Portal was included under the
Screens link. The new screen, called
Screens, launches a window that is
equivalent to a remote console screen.
Screens lets you load NLM programs and use
Monitor and other programs just as you
would at the physical server console.
Screens is available only to the Admin or
Admin-equivalent users logged in to the
NetWare Management Portal.
The buttons along the top of the screen
applet window allow you to do the
following:
- Switch between screens on the console
- Display a list of screens (like
Ctrl+Esc)
- Use the Emergency Console to cancel a
volume mount
- Unload a module when the main console
screen is hung
- Run a new command line process (like
Ctrl+Alt+Esc)
Entering BYE at the console prompt can
dismiss any auxiliary command consoles.
There are some known limitations in the
handling of special characters (extended
ASCII and double-byte characters) in the
console screen applet, and the response
time might vary with the Web browser you
are using. Remote access to the server
console does not include the GUI screens
on the server.
5.21.3 Connectivity to NetWare Management Portal
at Multiple IP Addresses
By default, connectivity to the NetWare
Management Portal is available only at the
first IP address bound to the server's LAN
card as viewed in autoexec.ncf or INETCFG
> View Configuration > Protocol Bind
Commands. For each additional IP address
for which Portal access is desired, the
following server command must be issued.
We recommend adding this command to the
autoexec.ncf file for each IP address:
HTTPBIND XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX /keyfile:"<SSL
Certificate Name>"
Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the IP
address and replace <SSL Server
Certificate Name> with the name of a
certificate created for the given IP
address.
5.21.4 NetWare Management Portal Settings
After applying the Support Pack, the
NetWare Management Portal's main page
might appear without hyperlinks in the
left frame and the main portion of the
page might appear empty for users not
logged in to the Management Portal. This
is a configurable setting from within the
Management Portal.
To have data displayed for users not
logged in to the Management Portal,
complete the following steps:
1. Log in to the NetWare Management
Portal from the main page.
2. Click the NetWare Management Portal
link in the upper-right corner of the
page.
3. Change the setting Display Only Header
on Front Page If Not Logged In to
"Yes."
5.21.5 Browser Access to NetWare Management
Portal
If you are using Netscape 6 from a Windows
client, or Internet Explorer or Netscape
from a Macintosh client, you will not be
able to log in to the NetWare Management
Portal using the Login button at the top
of the left-hand column on the front page.
To log in to NetWare Management Portal,
click the server name next to the traffic
light to display the Login dialog box.
For more information, see TID 10061585
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/10061585.htm).
5.22 Remote Console and RCONJ Issues
5.22.1 Using RCONJ to View Console Monitor Screen
When using RCONJ to view the NetWare 5
Console Monitor screen, some screens will
not refresh unless the screen is the
current active screen. Other screens that
have the same type of monitoring (like
NetWare Web Manager) update the screen in
RCONJ even if the screen is not the
current active screen on the system
console.
To resolve this, click the Activate
button, which will activate and update the
current screen.
5.22.2 Using RCONJ and Rconsole over IPX
To use RCONJ or RCONSOLE over IPX after
installing the Support Pack, you must load
spxs.nlm before you load rconag6.nlm in
autoexec.ncf. If spxs.nlm is not loaded,
rconag6.nlm might fail to load and
generate the following error: "NSPX did
not initialize."
5.22.3 RCONJ Will Not Run
Rconj.exe will not run unless the Windows
workstation has a drive mapped to the sys:
volume.
5.22.4 Remote Console and NDS Manager
In this Support Pack, you cannot run
Remote Console from within NDS Manager.
Instead, you must run it from a mapped
drive to sys:\public.
5.22.5 RCONJ and ConsoleOne
In this Support Pack, you cannot run RCONJ
from within ConsoleOne 1.2d when using JVM
1.2.2. Instead, you must run it from the
network at
sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2\rconj.exe.
This is an issue only when using JVM
1.2.2. RCONJ will run on the server when
JVM 1.1.7b or 1.3.1 is installed.
5.23 Driver Issues
The latest certified Storage drivers are
available at Certified Storage Drivers Web site
(http://developer.novell.com/devres/storage/drive
rs/index.html).
The latest certified LAN drivers are available at
Certified LAN Drivers Web site
(http://developer.novell.com/devres/lan/drivers/i
ndex.html).
5.23.1 Server Communication Issue
Previously, Novell Ethernet network
drivers have always evenized Ethernet II
frames. Beginning with NetWare 6 Support
Pack 2, Ethernet II frames are no longer
evenized by default. A new LAN driver load
line option called EVENIZE_ON has been
created to allow you to re-enable frame
evenization, as might be needed by older
NetWare installations.
In the past, routers have been known to
reject nonevenized packets. Currently,
Novell has found that many new routers and
clients will reject evenized packets. Many
network operating systems and clients
(SunOS, Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, etc.)
do not evenize Ethernet II frames, and
most routers will accept both evenized and
nonevenized frames.
Modules affected by the change are msm.nlm
and ethertsm.nlm.
If network communication problems appear
due to dropped packets, you should first
turn Ethernet II frame evenization on
using the EVENIZE_ON driver load line
option.
5.23.2 Using Cpqscsi.ham
After updating to Compaq's latest Support
Software for Novell products (NSSD) using
cpqscsi.ham, the NDS database might not
open. To resolve this, you need to
manually load NDS by adding a LOAD DS
statement to the server's autoexec.ncf.
5.23.3 IDE CD Drives
If your server includes an IDE CD drive
that is configured as a Master device but
it does not appear in the list of devices
in NetWare, reconfigure the device to
present itself as a Slave device.
5.23.4 IDE Drives
Many IDE drives do not adhere to the
industry standard for IDE. If you
experience issues with your IDE drive
after installing the Support Pack, you
might need to use the IDE driver that you
were using before installing the Support
Pack.
The IDE drivers are automatically backed
up to c:\nwserver\backsp8\storage. To use
the earlier driver, copy the file from the
backup directory to c:\nwserver.
5.23.5 New Option for Named.nlm
A new option has been added to named.nlm
that purges the DNS cache of all records.
To use this, enter LOAD NAMED.NLM -PA at
the server console.
5.23.6 Server Abend in NCMCON
If the server abends in NCMCON while
installing NSSD from Compaq in all
languages except English and Japanese, you
should copy the English ncmcon.msg from
sys:\system\nls\4 to the language
directory. For example, if you are using
Spanish, copy the file to
sys:\system\nls\14.
5.23.7 Change in Adapter Multipath Support
Beginning with NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 4,
the multipath adapter support has been
changed. The default setting is Off
(disabled). For more information, see TID
10070244
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/10070244.htm).
5.24 WebSphere Issues
5.24.1 Launching WebSphere
If you launch WebSphere from the Java GUI
and WebSphere does not run, you need to
edit autoexec.ncf and remove the pound
sign (#) from the beginning of the Start
WebSphere command. After rebooting the
server, you will be able to launch
WebSphere from the GUI.
5.24.2 BorderManager and WebSphere
If you use a BorderManager proxy
accelerator in front of your Web site and
you have dynamic content (either servlets
or JSP pages), note that the BorderManager
accelerator name needs to match with an
entry in the Configured Hosts for
WebSphere.
If the name and entry do not match, you
might get errors where servlets aren't
found and JSP pages aren't processed. If
you get an error, either change the
accelerator name to match or add a
matching hostname to WebSphere.
5.25 WebSearch Changes
5.25.1 Indexes No Longer Listed on Default Search
Page
After upgrading from previous versions of
Web Search, the list of collections that
appear on the default search page might
disappear. This is because newer versions
of Web Search differentiate between the
collections specified by a particular
query versus those actually available at
the server.
To make it so that all available indexes
display on the search page, either use the
templates that ship with the newer Web
Search (located in the
\nsearch\templates\samples directory) or
make the following changes to the
searchtemplate.html file that you are
currently using as your search page:
- Change $$BeginCollectionsLoop to
$$BeginServerCollectionsLoop
- Change $$EndCollectionsLoop to
$$EndServerCollectionsLoop
5.25.2 New Sample Web Search Templates
NetWare Web Search includes new sample
search results templates. You should
always use the new templates as a basis
for your own templates.
If you install Web Search over a previous
installation, your existing templates are
not overwritten. The new templates are
copied into the
sys:\nsearch\templates\samples directory.
To test the sample templates from a Web
client machine, include the Theme query
parameter with the value Samples:
&theme=Samples&other_query_parameters
You can also temporarily change the
templates directory to the samples
directory in the Search Properties form in
the NetWare Web Search Manager.
For more information, refer to the Novell
Cool Solutions article
(http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/netwa
re/features/a_websearch_nw.html).
6.0 NLM Programs Bound into Server.exe
This Support Pack contains a server.exe file, which
has bound into it a number of important NLM programs.
If any of these NLM programs is already in your
startup directory (that is, you received one of these
NLM programs outside of this Support Pack), these NLM
programs are automatically deleted during
installation.
Server.exe includes the following NLM programs:
connmgr.nlm
cdbe.nlm
cpucheck.nlm
diag500.nlm
filesys.nlm
hwdetect.nlm
lfs.nlm
lsl.nlm
mm.nlm
nbi.nlm

7.0 Product Testing
The Support Pack has undergone component testing, core
OS, system, and integration testing with other Novell
products. The Support Pack was also tested with the
following:
- Open Enterprise Server
- NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 3
- NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 8
- NFS 3.0 Support Pack 7
- NFAP 1.0 Support Pack 5
- GroupWise 6.5 Support Pack 4
- GroupWise Messenger 1.0 Support Pack 4
- BorderManager 3.8 Support Pack 3

8.0 Third-Party Product Issues
This support pack contains some third party drivers
for LAN,WAN, Storage, and Printers. The latest updates
on these are available from the third party vendor web
site.
8.1 Dell Server Management Software (AppCD)
Prior to installing the Support Pack, temporarily
disable Dell OpenManage Software by editing the
autoexec.ncf file and commenting out---with a
preceding semicolon (;) or pound sign (#)---the
following lines:
dell/omanage/omsa/dcstart""arraymgr.ncf
sys:stystem/dell/omanage/iws/bin/netware/omastart
If a DRACIIIXT, ERA, or ERA/O card is present,
also comment out the following line:
sys:system\dell\omanage\rac\d3start
Restart the server and install the Support Pack.
After the Support Pack is installed, you can
uncomment the lines and restart the server to
finalize the installation. Failure to follow the
above steps might cause the Support Pack install
to stop.
8.2 HP Hot-Plug Stops Working
When performing an upgrade to NetWare 5.1 Support
Pack 7or later the HP Hot-Plug driver
(cpqsbd.nlm) is moved from the DOS partition to
the sys:, hence hot-plug functionality may be
affected. If previously functional Hot-Plug slots
are not visible through NCMCON after the upgrade,
then most likely cpqsbd.nlm was not loaded. To
resolve this, copy the cpqsbd.nlm from
sys:system\drivers.new directory to sys:\system,
then load it to resume Hot-Plug functionality.
8.3 Pervasive Updates
Updates for Pervasive SQL are not included in
this Support Pack.To obtain updates, go to
Pervasive's Web site
(http://www.pervasive.com/support) and look for
Pervasive SQL 2000i.
8.4 NetWare for SAA and Oracle Products Not Tested
This Support Pack has not been tested with
NetWare for SAA and Oracle database products.
8.5 Symantec Norton AntiVirus Enterprise 7.5
After installing the Support Pack, you might see
the following abend: Page Fault Running Process:
NAVCode executing in module v536936454.0l at
offset +CCA806EDh.
To resolve this, download an update from
Symantec. This abend is fixed in version 7.6 of
the Norton Antivirus.
8.6 Tobit FaxWare Running on Novell for Small
Business and NetWare for Growing Business
Tobit FaxWare might not load after the Support
Pack has been applied to Novell for Small
Business and NetWare for Growing Business. To
correct this problem, replace the david.nlm file
with the one in the \tools\tobit directory.
9.0 Removing the Support Pack from the Server
9.1 Uninstalling the Support Pack
If you selected the Backup option during the
Support Pack installation, files that are
overwritten by the Support Pack files are backed
up to sys:system\backsp8 or to the location you
specified, so that you can restore the server to
its original state if necessary. If you didn't
select the Backup option, you can't uninstall the
Support Pack.
Do not uninstall the Support Pack if you
installed any products or patches after the
installation of the Support Pack.
To uninstall the Support Pack, complete either of
the following procedures:
1. At the server console prompt, enter nwconfig.
2. Select Product Options > Install a Product
Not Listed.
3. Press F3, then specify the path to the backup
files (sys:system\backsp8 or the location you
specified).
OR
1. At the server console prompt, enter NWCONFIG.
2. Select Product Options >
View/Configure/Remove Installed Products >
Spack.
3. Press Delete, then select Yes.
9.2 Downgrading to a Previous NDS Version
After DS.NLM version 7.49 or 8.72 or later is
loaded on the server, previous versions of NDS
(7.48 or earlier) will no longer load. This is
caused by slight changes to the semantics of some
NDS records. Downgrading from NDS version 7.49 or
8.72 to a previous version of NDS is not
recommended; however, it is still possible.
If you selected the Backup option during the
Support Pack install, you can uninstall the
Support Pack to restore the earlier version of
Directory Services. For more information, see
section 14.1, "Uninstalling the Support Pack."
To downgrade NDS manually, complete the
following:
1. Copy the previous version of ds.nlm to the
server's sys:\system directory.
2. With ds.nlm still loaded, issue the
appropriate console command.
For NDS version 7.49:
SET DSTRACE=DOWNGRADEDIBTOVERSION9
For NDS version 8.72:
SET DSTRACE=DOWNGRADEDIBTOFUSION
The local database closes and downgrades
itself. It will not reopen.
3. After the database has closed and the console
prompt returns, bring down the server.
4. Replace the dsloader.nlm file in c:\nwserver
with the previous version.
5. Restart the server.
The next time you load a newer NDS version, the
database automatically reupgrades.
9.3 Uninstall the Support Pack When Running NDS8
If you remove the Support Pack from a server that
is running NDS 8.xx, the server might abend when
unloading DSRepair. To prevent this, copy
dsrepair.nlm in this Support Pack from
\products\nds8\system to the server's sys:\system
directory after uninstalling the Support Pack.
10.0 Updated TCP/IP Documentation
For information on the updated TCP/IP included with
the Support Pack, see the tcpip.txt file at the root

11.0 Upgrading to NetWare 6.x
If you are upgrading from NetWare 5.1 server with the
Support Pack installed to NetWare 6.x, you might be
prompted to overwrite newer files. You should always
select the option Always Overwrite Newer Files to
ensure the correct NetWare 6.x files are installed.
