1.0 Support Pack Installation
1.1 Prerequisites
1.1.1 NDPS
An update to NDPS is required to solve a
client hang. Install the dprpcnlm.nlm
file, dated 22Nov2000 or later. This
update is included in NetWare 5.1 Support
Pack 3 or later. For more information, see
TID 10062546
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/10062546.htm).
1.1.2 Installing NetWare 4.11 or 4.2 Server
Patch Prior to Installing the Client
Solves File Open Issue
A server patch update addresses an issue
in which a file that is opened once by
different threads (one open in each
thread) in an application and then closed,
leaves an instance of the file open, even
after you exit the application. This
problem could cause the server to run out
of memory or hang. The server update is
located in TID 2952441
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/
searchtid.cgi?/2952441.htm).
You do not have to update the server
product version to install and use the
latest client software.
1.2 Install Option 1 - setupsp.exe
To install the updates on a workstation with the
Novell Client for Windows v4.91
already installed, run the setupsp.exe located in
products\winnt\i386.
Available options for configuring setupsp.exe are
described in 1.5 Setupsp.exe Functionality.
Setupsp.exe can be launched automatically as part
of the NetWare login script. The following is an
example of the code you would add to the login
script:
@\\%<aserver>\sys\public\client.sp3\products\winnt
\i386\setupsp.exe
1.3 Install Option 2 - ACU Install
Automatic Client Upgrade (acu.exe) checks the
Novell Client major, minor, and Support Pack
versions previously installed on the workstation.
If the workstation requires only the Support Pack
updates, setupsp.exe will be launched instead of
the full Client Install to update the software on
the workstation.
For example, when acu.exe runs on a workstation
with the Novell Client for Windows v4.91
installed, the setupsp.exe program is
executed. A workstation with an old client
version or no client installed will run the full
Novell Client install.
Available options for configuring the acu.exe are
described in 1.6 Acu.exe Functionality.
1.4 Install Option 3 - Installing the Novell Client
with the Support Pack Integrated
Update the Novell Client for Windows v4.91
source files located in the
sys:public\client\winnt\i386 by copying the
Support Pack files from products\winnt\i386 to
sys:public\client\winnt\i386\. This copy will
overwrite the corresponding files in the full
Novell Client source directory.
The Support Pack download file contains files in
all languages. To avoid issues, remove the
language directories that do not correspond to
directories in the full client 4.91 installation
already on the workstation. There are NLS-related
directories within the Support Pack extracted
directory structure: winnt\i386\nls\language,
winnt\i386\admin\nls\language,
winnt\i386\nal\nls\language, and
\winnt\i386\rm\nls\language. Delete the unneeded
language directories from both locations.
Run the setupnw.exe program to install the
integrated Novell Client and Support Pack.
In cases where both compressed and uncompressed
versions of a file end up in the same directory,
the installation will automatically install the
uncompressed file. It is not necessary to delete
the compressed files.
1.5 Setupsp.exe Functionality
The setupsp.inf file contains a
[ServicePackOptions] section through which
additional setupsp.exe behavior can be
controlled. The default values for the option
section have changed and are as follows:
[ServicePackOptions]
Reinstall = NO
DisplayInstallPrompts = YES
UpdateNICI = YES
UpdateNMAS = YES
UpdateNetIdentity = YES
RebootOnCompletion = PROMPT
PromptUserOnCompletion = YES
Reinstall
Setting the value Reinstall = NO disables the
ability to reinstall the Support Pack, if the
current Support Pack has already been installed
on the workstation. For example, once the Support
Pack has been installed successfully, running
setupsp.exe will not install the Support Pack
again. When the value is set to YES it allows the
Support Pack installation to re-apply the updates
even though the current Support Pack may have
already been installed.
DisplayInstallPrompts
Setting the value DisplayInstallPrompts = YES
displays all dialogs regarding the installation
of the Support Pack. When the value is set to NO,
no dialogs will be displayed during the Support
Pack installation.
DisplayInstallPrompts has no affect on the
RebootOnCompletion or PromptUserOnCompletion
values.
productupdate
The UpdateNICI, UpdateNMAS, UpdateNetIdentity
parameters indicate whether SETUPSP.EXE is to
install updates to the optional products included
with the Novell Client. The product will only be
updated if is has been detected on the
workstation prior to the Support Pack
installation.
RebootOnCompletion
Setting the value RebootOnCompletion = PROMPT
prompts the user to decide whether the
workstation should be shut down and restarted
after the Support Pack installation completes.
The PromptUserOnCompletion setting has no effect
when RebootOnCompletion is set to PROMPT.
Setting the value RebootOnCompletion = YES
restarts the workstation after the Support Pack
installation completes without waiting for the
user to acknowledge any prompts.
RebootOnCompletion = NO exits the Support Pack
installation without restarting the workstation.
PromptUserOnCompletion
The PromptUserOnCompletion setting controls
whether the user is advised that the Support
Pack install completed prior to exiting the
installation program. Setting the value
PromptUserOnCompletion = NO exits the Support
Pack installation without waiting for the user to
acknowledge any prompts.
Setting PromptUserOnCompletion = YES displays an
informational prompt upon completion of the
installation process. The user must simply press
OK and does not have a choice to override or
force a reboot. This prompt only confirms that
installation completed prior to whichever
post-install action will take place (whether
setupsp.exe will just exit or will reboot the
workstation, depending on whether
RebootOnCompletion is set to YES or NO).
1.6 Acu.exe Functionality
In addition to providing all the functionality
Automatic Client Upgrade (acu.exe) has previously
provided, it also provides administrators with an
additional method for executing setupsp.exe on
workstations that already have client software
installed. An administrator can choose to use
acu.exe to launch setupsp.exe to provide
additional prompting or logging during the client
update process.
Normally the acu.exe application checks only the
workstation's major and minor client version (and
the administrator's major and minor internal
version, if defined) to determine whether acu.exe
should attempt to launch the full setupsp.inf
install.
If the workstation major and minor client version
checks show that the workstation already has the
same major and minor client version that is
available for install, acu.exe will now also
check the workstation ServicePack value (as
setupsp.exe does) to determine whether the local
workstation has the Support Pack installed. If
the workstation is in need of only the Support
Pack updates, acu.exe then launches only
setupsp.exe instead the full client
upgrade/install process.
The acu.ini file contains a [ServicePack] section
through which this new behavior can be further
controlled. The default values for the
[ServicePack] section are as follows:
[ServicePack]
Check = Yes
Setting the value Check = Yes causes acu.exe to
take the [ServicePack] into account, as described
previously.
Setting the value Check = No causes acu.exe to
ignore the workstation [ServicePack] value and
will not run setupsp.exe instead of a full client
upgrade/install. This behavior can also be forced
by launching acu.exe with an /NSP command line
switch. For example:
ACU.EXE /NSP
