--- FIXES FOR OS/2 2.0, LS 2.0 LAN Server/Requester --- September 25, 1992
OS/2 1.30.2, LS 2.0 LAN Server/Requester
APARs: IC03578, IC03862, IC03994, IC04026, IC04196, IC04290,
IC04355, IC04356
SYSTEMS: OS/2 2.0 GA with LS 2.0 GA
OS/2 1.30.2 or any 1.3 with CSD WR05050 and LS 2.0 installed.
Modules: \IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 (for OS/2 2.0 systems)
\RPL\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 (for OS/2 2.0 RIPL workstations)
\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.SYS (for OS/2 1.3 systems)
\RPL\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.SYS (for OS/2 1.3 RIPL workstations)
\IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTA.EXE
\IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTAHLP.EXE
\IBMCOM\MACS\IBMTOK.OS2
CORRECTS:
In general - 1. Problems detecting and reporting network errors.
2. Problems using named "pipes" over LAN connected systems
and applications.
3. Accessing and using a server with IBM PCLP (PC LAN Program).
4. Problems using COPY and XCOPY to the server.
5. Sharing violations on SWAPPER.DAT with RIPL workstations
(Remote IPL with SWAPPER.DAT on server).
6. RIPL Workstations hanging during Remote IPL.
Specific - 1. Problems detecting and reporting hard errors on network
drives.
2. NETWKSTA and the WKSTA were fixed for problems associated
with adapter lobe faults.
3. The OS/2 2.0 API call DOSSetFileLocks was not included in
the GA release of LS 2.0. Applications using the older 16
bit API call DOSFileLocks and DOSFileIO were not affected.
Applications issuing the 32 bit DOSSetFileLocks receive
a return code of 174.
4. Added code to handle FS_FILELOCKS but it will not accept
atomic requests without the new SMB. Also will not accept
FS_CANCELLOCKREQUEST without the new SMB.
5. Corrected problem with doing DOSOPEN on a named pipe
connecting LAN systems or applications.
6. Problems using COPY and XCOPY with PCLP servers.
7. The "WRITE" command returning an error "6" when writes are
attempted to a PCLP server.
8. Corrects NET3126 errors occurring when accessing a PCLP
server.
9. Corrects problem with Database applications receiving
bad return codes and UNLOCK errors when redirected.
10. Corrects problem with COPY when a network resource has
read and write permission but not "A" permission; resulting
in error messages of "INCORRECT FUNCTION" and
"0 files copied." Correct message is now generated, SYS0065
"Network Access Denied".
11. Problems re-establishing RIPL sessions due to incorrect file
handles being connected to SWAPPER.DAT.
12. Timeouts and retries during Remote IPL redesigned to prevent
RIPL hangs.
13. RIPL initialization changed to prevent RIPL hangs.
CONTRADICTIONS: None known for OS/2 2.0. These fixes are for systems using
the LS 2.0 LAN Server/Requester on either OS/2 2.0 or
OS/2 1.3 with CSD 5050 applied. There are some 32 bit API
modules and calls included or referenced in the OS/2 2.0
specific modules.
Special care must be used by the installer to insure that
the correct NETWKSTA module be installed, dependent on the
OS/2 version.
This set of fixes should NOT be installed on any OS/2 1.3 EE
system using the Extended Edition LAN Server/Requester.
The LS13FX set of fixes should be used on any OS/2 1.3 EE
systems that do not have LS 2.0 installed.
INSTALLATION ON OS/2 2.0 SYSTEMS:
After downloading the fix to a temporary directory (C:\FIX in this
example) and UNZIPping the file, perform the following steps:
1. SHUTDOWN the system.
2. Insert the OS/2 2.0 Installation diskette.
3. Reboot
4. Insert install system diskette #1 when prompted, press Enter.
5. When the "Welcome to OS/2" screen appears, press Escape.
6. When the command prompt appears, switch to the system drive
("C:" in this example).
7. CD C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG
8. RENAME NETWKSTA.200 NETWKSTA.OLD
9. COPY C:\FIX\NETWKSTA.200
10. CD C:\RPL\IBMLAN\NETPROG
If this directory does not exist (RIPL not
installed), skip to step 13.
11. RENAME NETWKSTA.200 NETWKSTA.OLD
12. COPY C:\FIX\NETWKSTA.200
13. CD C:\IBMLAN\SERVICES
14. RENAME WKSTA*.EXE WKSTA*.OLD
15. COPY C:\FIX\WKSTA*.EXE
16. CD C:\IBMCOM\MACS
17. RENAME IBMTOK.OS2 IBMTOK.OLD
18. COPY C:\FIX\IBMTOK.OS2
19. Remove diskette and reboot with CTRL-ALT-DEL. Do NOT power off.
20. After reboot, Edit the file C:\OS2\INSTALL\INSTALL.LOG.
21. At the end of the file, add a line with:
"IC03578, IC03862, IC03994, IC04026, IC04196, IC04290, IC04355, IC04356"
22. Save the file and exit the editor.
23. Repeat steps 1 to 22 for each server or requester system that has
OS/2 2.0 and LS 2.0 installed.
If the fix causes any new problems or unwanted side affects, repeat
the above procedure but delete the new fix modules and RENAME the .OLD
modules back to their original extensions; then reboot with CTRL-ALT-DEL.
INSTALLATION ON OS/2 1.3 SYSTEMS:
CSD WR05050 must be installed first. After the CSD is installed, download
the fix to a temporary directory (C:\FIX in this example) and UNZIP the file,
then perform the following steps:
1. SHUTDOWN the system.
2. Insert any OS/2 Installation diskette.
3. Reboot
4. Insert install system diskette #1 when prompted, press Enter.
5. When the "Welcome to OS/2" screen appears, press Escape.
6. When the command prompt appears, switch to the system drive
("C:" in this example).
7. CD C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG
8. RENAME NETWKSTA.SYS NETWKSTA.OLD
9. COPY C:\FIX\NETWKSTA.SYS
10. CD C:\RPL\IBMLAN\NETPROG
If this directory does not exist (RIPL not
installed), skip to step 13.
11. RENAME NETWKSTA.SYS NETWKSTA.OLD
12. COPY C:\FIX\NETWKSTA.SYS
13. CD C:\IBMLAN\SERVICES
14. RENAME WKSTA*.EXE WKSTA*.OLD
15. COPY C:\FIX\WKSTA*.EXE
16. Remove diskette and reboot with CTRL-ALT-DEL. Do NOT power off.
17. After reboot, Edit the file C:\OS2\INSTALL\INSTALL.LOG.
18. At the end of the file, add a line with:
"IC03578, IC03862, IC03994, IC04026, IC04196, IC04290, IC04355, IC04356"
19. Save the file and exit the editor.
20. Repeat steps 1 to 19 for each server or requester system that has
OS/2 1.3, CSD 5050, and LS 2.0 installed.
If the fix causes any new problems or unwanted side affects, repeat
the above procedure but delete the new fix modules and RENAME the .OLD
modules back to their original extensions; then reboot with CTRL-ALT-DEL.
