- The change from 401PT4 to 401PT5 is that UNLDIRFX.NLM has been removed due to
- a potential problem this patch may cause. Versions of this patch prior to
- 9-13-94 can cause GPPE abends, often during the process of deleting a user.
- The 9-13-94 or later version of this patch which has corrected the problem is
- available from the 401ITX.EXE download from the NSD forum.

- DAICCFIX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- This patch deals with applications that directly control hardware devices
- through NetWare (i.e. Jukeboxes, worms, tapes, etc.). If an error condition
- occurs such as reaching the end of a tape, an error code is returned to the
- calling application. The error code would be scrambled, resulting in the
- wrong error passed to the application. The result, as far as the Server (i.e.
- ABEND, hang, etc.) would depend on the specific application. The patch
- applies to applications which use a DAI interface to communicate with the
- server's hardware. Check with the vendor of the application to verify the use
- of the DAI interface and apply the patch if necessary.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Apply DAICCFIX NLM 1031 02-08-94 9:47a

- time the file is read.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Apply DFSRFIX NLM 925 03-28-94 9:07a
-
-
- Solution Specifics:
-
- Different versions of this patch are available for the following NetWare
- Operating System's:
-
- V4.01
-
- Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,
- v3.12 is in 312ITx.EXE or 312PTx.EXE,
- v4.01 is in 401ITx.EXE or 401PTx.EXE,
- v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- DIRSPCFX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Disk space can not be accounted for.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Apply DIRSPCFX NLM 1128 02-22-94 4:20p
-
-
- Solution Specifics:
-
- Different versions of this patch are available for the following NetWare
- Operating System's:
-
- V3.11, V3.12, V4.01, V3.11 SFT III
-
- Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,

- v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.
- v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
-
- The DIRSPCFX.NLM file is a fix to the set parameter "Maximum Percent of Volume
- Used By Directory." The limits of this set parameter are 5 to 50 percent
- default and the setting is 13 percent.
-
- The set parameter "Maximum Percent of Volume Used By Directory". can use
- double the disk space set.
-
- Example; If the Set parameter is 13 percent, the actual space that can be used
- by Extended Attributes is 26 percent.
-
- CAUSE
-
- The Set parameter only searched one of the mirrored tables for extended
- attributes to verify that the limit had been met, which allows the set
- parameter to use twice as much space as indicated. The Table for Extended
- Attributes will grow; however, it will never decrease in size. So, after the
- space is allocated for the EA table, it cannot be used for any thing other
- than Extended Attributes.

- allow a maximum value of 2000. This caused a limitation in the number of
- clients a comm server could support.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Apply MAXECBFX NLM 1940 06-22-94 9:28a
-
-
- The MAXECBFX.NLM allows the "Maximum Packet Receive Buffers" to be maximum

- MEMFRGFX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- This MEMFRGFX.NLM provides an alternative method of registering memory for
- 4.01 NetWare. It fixes a condition where the normal auto registration of
- memory would represent memory with non-contiguous blocks. Consequently, only
- a portion of memory is available for mounting volumes and growing the
- directory entry. This condition will only manifest itself on servers that
- have greater than 80 megabytes of server RAM and which have large amounts of
- volume space to mount.
-
- The following errors in conjunction with lots of available cache are
- indicators of the segmented memory problem.
-
- At the workstation-
- SHELL-331-92: Out of dynamic work space during CREATE A SUBDIRECTORY Abort,
- Retry?
-
- At the server console-
- SERVER-4.0-2335: Error expanding SERVERNAME/VOLUME directory because
- directory size limit was reached.
-
- Issue/Problem: A client was creating directories on the network volume. At
- about 125,000 directories, the above errors occurred. Once this condition was
- achieved and the volume was dismounted, it would fail to mount with an error
- message at the server console:SERVER-4.00-4.25: Insufficient memory for
- directory tables
-
- SOLUTION

-
- MEMFRGFX.NLM addresses an issue on NetWare where a server would run out of
- memory while mounting the volume or when dynamically expanding the directory
- entry table. This patch fixes this problem by providing an alternate means of
- registering server memory.
-
- Installation Instructions:
-
- NCF FILE: STARTUP.NCF
-
- 1. Copy MEMFRGFX.NLM to the same directory where SERVER.EXE and the
- STARTUP.NCF files reside.
-
- 2. Modify the STARTUP.NCF file and add the set parameter, "set auto register
- memory above 16 megabytes=off" as the first line.
-
- 3. After disabling the auto registration of memory, and before loading any
- other driver or patch, load the MEMFRGFX.NLM patch with the following syntax:
-
- LOAD MEMFRGFX.NLM <STARTING MEMORY ADDRESS> <LENGTH>
-
- The <starting memory address> will always be 1000000 hex (16 MB). The
- <length> in hex can be calculated by taking the total amount of File Server
- memory as reported by the hardware memory POST, converting that number to
- hexadecimal and then subtracting 1000000 hex therefrom. For example if the
- file server post reports 163840k bytes of ram, the calculation would be as
- follows:
-
- 163,840,000 bytes = 9C40000 hex bytes
- 9C40000 hex minus 1000000 hex = 8C40000 hex
-
- In this case the command would be
-
- LOAD MEMFRGFX.NLM 1000000 8C40000
-
- 4. You can then proceed with the loading of any other STARTUP.NCF commands as
- usual.

-
- This README file accompanies PM401.NLM (patch manager for NetWare v4.01). The
- following files are included for this revision:
-
- This version of the patch manager replaces any and all previous versions of
- the patch manager for NetWare v4.01. PM401.NLM can only be used with NetWare
- v4.01.
-
- PM401.NLM is the Patch Manager which tracks and manages all official patches
- for NetWare v4.01.
-
- Patches for NetWare v4.01 consist of three types:
-
- DYNAMIC -- Dynamic patches are implemented as NLM files that can be
- loaded/unloaded while the server is running. Unloading a dynamic patch will
- restore the Operating System to its original "un-patched" state.
-
- SEMI-STATIC -- Semi-static patches can also be loaded while the server is
- running, but they cannot be unloaded. It is not possible to undo the effects
- of a semi-static patch without first downing the server and bringing it back
- up without loading the semi-static patch.
-
- STATIC -- A static patch is a DOS executable program that modifies the
- SERVER.EXE file. This type of patch is applied once and its effects are
- permanent. It is suggested that a backup of the original SERVER.EXE file be
- made before applying a static patch. (In other words, do not patch the
- SERVER.EXE on your original distribution diskette!)
-
- Dynamic and semi-static patches modify the Operating System in memory, not on
- the disk. This means that dynamic and semi-static patches must be loaded each
- time the Operating System is brought up in order for any 'fixes' to take
- effect. It is recommended that the command "LOAD <patch>" be placed in the
- file server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file to ensure that the patch is always in effect
- as soon as the server is brought up.
-
- In order to see which patches are currently loaded on the system, type
- "PATCHES" at the file server command line. The patches will then be grouped
- and displayed according to their type (i.e. - STATIC, SEMI-STATIC, or
- DYNAMIC). Typing "MODULES" at the server console will show which dynamic
- patches have been loaded, but will not show semi-static or static patches.
-
- The Patch Manager (PM401.NLM) must be loaded before any dynamic or semi-static
- patches can be loaded. If PM401.NLM is not already loaded, the <patch>.NLM
- will attempt to locate PM401.NLM and, if found, will load it automatically.
- PM401.NLM only needs to be loaded once; all NLM patches can then be loaded.
- PM401.NLM cannot be unloaded until all patches that rely on it are first
- unloaded.

- REALMFIX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- This patch deals with applications that directly control hardware devices
- through NetWare (i.e. Jukeboxes, worms, tapes, etc.). If an error condition
- occurs such as reaching the end of a tape, an error code is returned to the
- calling application. The error code would be scrambled, resulting in the
- wrong error passed to the application. The result, as far as the Server (i.e.
- ABEND, hang, etc.) would depend on the specific application. The patch
- applies to applications which use a DAI interface to communicate with the
- server's hardware. Check with the vendor of the application to verify the use
- of the DAI interface and apply the patch if necessary.
-
- Application requests made to a device driver using the device IOCTL and
- DeviceBlockingIOCTL API's are aborted if NetWare is in the process of
- switching to real mode.
-
- Application requests made to a device driver using the DeviceIOCTL and
- DeviceBlockingIOCTL API's are aborted if NetWare is in the process of
- switching to real mode (i.e. the DOS Mode semaphore is set). The API's should
- instead delay the execution of the request.
-
- FIXED 2 DAI emulation bugs. Fixed the device IOCTL routine to return the
- driver specified error code instead of the media manager code. Fixed the
- IOCTL routines to postpone the execution of the IOCTL if the DOSDiskSemaphore
- is set instead of returning with an error.

- RTCHGFIX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- This patch fixes a problem with packet signing after a switch over occurs on
- either an SFT III server or a router switch over (i.e. networks with redundant
- routes). When the switch over occurs the packet size would be renegotiated
- between the server and the workstation. The server in would send unsigned
- packets to the workstation during the renegotiation process. The workstation,
- expecting signed packets will discard all of the packets from the server
- attempting the renegotiation. The workstation would eventually timeout or
- appear to be hung. The key to the patch is that packet signing would have to
- be enabled or order for this problem to happen.

- SPXDDFIX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- This fixes a problem with the way SPX handles retried connect requests. If
- the connection had already transitioned into SESSION_TERMINATED when the retry
- came in, it was treated as a new connection request.
-
- Also fixes a problem where SPX was still acknowledging data packets that
- arrived after SPXTerminateConnection was called. This could lead to incorrect
- handling of the data by the application, leaving both endpoints with different
- information about the state and completeness of the data. NOTE: This SPX
- problem is masked by the SPXS.NLM that ships with NMS 2.0 and SPXS.NLM
- included in STRTL2.EXE. The fix for this specific issue is addressed by
- SPXDDFIX.NLM.

-
- Before the patch, data that arrived after the application initiated a
- disconnect by calling SPXTerminateConnection, was acknowledged and delivered
- to the application. Depending on how the application was written this could
- give the transmitting side an invalid picture of the guaranteed delivery of
- the data. The patch causes all inbound packets after SPXTerminateConnection
- has been called to just be dropped.

- SPXFIX2 NLM
- ============

- SYMPTOM
-
- Fix SPX code in the case where an SPX terminate ack is received on a

- not exist, this fix returns the ECB to IPX rather than re-posting it back to
- the application socket.

- SYNCMFIX NLM
- ============

- SYMPTOM
-
- One drive off of one HBA is mirrored to two drives both of which are on the
- other HBA. (A total of 3 drives mirroring the same data). The single drive
- off of the first HBA is in sync and the other two drives off of the second HBA
- are mirrored to the first drive. The server is downed while the two secondary
- mirrored drives are still out of sync, (install NLM shows them still to be in
- the mirroring process). When SERVER.EXE is invoked, INSTALL.NLM shows the
- primary drive as In Sync and one of the secondary drives as In Sync and the
- other as Out Of Sync. The two secondary drives are the only ones showing disk
- activity as if they are mirroring each other and ignoring the actual in sync
- primary drive.

- UNLDIRFX NLM
- ============
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- ABEND "UnLockDirectoryEntry called with entry that was already unlocked"
- happens in INWPurgeTrustee when UnLockDirectoryEntry is called with TNode-
- >TFileEntryNumber which sometimes gets overwritten by the call to
- ImmediateReuseGetDirectoryEntry. Whenever the directory structure for the file
- entry isn't in RAM, ImmediateReuseGetDirectoryEntry reads in a directory block
- over the top of the current block and invalidates the TNode pointer.
- NOTE:Locking the file entry doesn't guarantee the TNode is locked.
