Before you install Global MHS v2.0, there are some steps you need to
complete first if you want a successful installation. In addition
to reading the installation manual and the file README.TXT on disk 1 of
the Global MHS installation disks, follow the procedures below before
installing NetWare Global MHS.
I. Versions of Dependent NLMs
There are several NLMs that Global MHS depends on. These NLMs need
to be the proper version.
A. Btrieve
Make sure you have Btrieve v6.0b (or later) loaded. Btrieve v6.0b
is 146258 bytes, date 12-01-92.
Btrieve v6.0b must be loaded with pagesize set, eg "load btrieve -p=4096".
B. CLIB
Make sure you have CLIB v3.11E (or later) loaded. CLIB v3.11E is
269642 bytes, date 02-03-93.
C. PATCH311
Do not have PATCH311 loaded, either before, during, or after installation.
PATCH311, 20823 bytes, date 07-29-91, contains fixes to an earlier version
of CLIB. CLIB v3.11E has all the fixes that are in PATCH311, so PATCH311
is no longer needed functionally, and PATCH311 is incompatible with Global
MHS.
For those NLMs that are hardcoded to require a PATCH311 be loaded, Global
MHS comes with a dummy PATCH311. This dummy PATCH311 is 798 bytes, date
09-16-92.
D. Procedure for Dependent NLMs
Before installing NetWare Global MHS, compare the files CLIB.NLM,
BTRIEVE.NLM, and PATCH311.NLM in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory
with the files CLIB.NLM, BTRIEVE.NLM, and PATCH311.NLM contained
in \NGM\BIN on disk 2 of the Global MHS installation disks. (You may
not have a copy of PATCH311.NLM; PATCH311.NLM may not exist in
SYS:\SYSTEM.)
If the files of the same name do not have the same size and date,
for example if CLIB.NLM in SYS:\SYSTEM is 267068 bytes with date
12-16-92 and CLIB.NLM in \NGM\BIN is 269642 bytes with date 02-03-93,
rename the file in SYS:\SYSTEM with an extension of .OLD and copy
the file from \NGM\BIN into SYS:\SYSTEM. If there was no PATCH311.NLM
in SYS:\SYSTEM, copy this file from \NGM\BIN into SYS:\SYSTEM.
After these three files have been compared and copied, edit
AUTOEXEC.NCF so BTRIEVE is loaded with a page size of 4096:
load btrieve -p=4096
Down the server and bring it back up. Install Global MHS.
Modify AUTOEXEC.NCF to include a search drive mapping for Global MHS:
search add 1 <mv>\ngm\bin
where <mv> is the path to your Global MHS installation. You may need
to add the search drive mapping at the fileserver console prompt as
well.
Load NetWare Global MHS.
II. Aborted Installations
If anything goes wrong with your installation near the end, such that
the Global MHS files were copied to the network drive but Global MHS
isn't listed under "Product Options" in INSTALL.NLM, you need to
delete those Global MHS files before starting your installation again.
If this is a fresh installation, not an upgrade of MHS 1.5, you will need
to delete the "\NGM" directory structure and the "\MHS" directory
structure; the default location for these is the root of SYS:. In
addition, you will need to check SYS:SYSTEM for any Global MHS files;
delete any NGM*.* and any *.NGM files from SYS:SYSTEM.
There are three ways to delete Global MHS files. If an entry exists
for Global MHS in Product Options in INSTALL.NLM, highlight the
entry for Global MHS and press <delete>. If no entry exists for Global
MHS in Product Options, then do one of the following: 1) at the console
prompt, type LOAD <volume>:\NGM\BIN\NGMDEINS, or 2) use FILER to delete
the \NGM and \MHS directories.
III. NFS
NFS v1.1 is incompatible with CLIB v3.11E. If you have NFS v1.1,
upgrade your NFS (the current shipping version is 1.2b). This is
a cost upgrade (US$1500) due to the many new features and
functions that have been added to NFS. Upgrading from NFS 1.2
to NFS 1.2b is a free upgrade.
In addition, there are many fixes for NFS 1.1 bugs and crash problems
that are included in NFS 1.2/1.2b.
NFS 1.2 has been shipping for 18 months and NFS Support has been
encouraging all NFS customers to upgrade to 1.2/1.2b. The NFS
upgrade information is listed below.
Product New Part number Price (US)
UPG, NFS 1.2 to 1.2B 885-001070-003 n/c
UPG, NFS 1.1 to 1.2B 885-001071-003 $1,500
