3.9 Prepare for Disaster Recovery

3.10 Remove LAN Distance

The OS/2 Warp Server for e-business software cannot be installed over a previously installed LAN Distance Connection Server or LAN Distance Remote. You must remove it before installing any OS/2 Warp Server for e-business software.

This is how we did it:

• If not already part of your regular backup, save your \CONFIG.SYS and your \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI to a safe place.

• Call LDREMOVE.EXE, which is located in the LAN Distance installation directory (\WAL by default).

• Select Archive configuration files as shown in Figure 11 below.
  
  
  
  Figure 11: Archiving LAN Distance Configuration Files
  
  

  This will save the following LAN Distance User Configuration Files that are stored in the LAN Distance installation directory (\WAL):
  
  
  Table 16: LAN Distance User Configuration Files
  
  

• When the dialog shown in Figure 12 is displayed, the removal process has finished, and the server must be rebooted.
