GENERAL
INFORMATION: Here are a few tidbits on upgrading for NetWare 386 v3.0 to
v3.1.
HOW: To perform an upgrade, you boot your server to DOS and load
v3.1 of SERVER.EXE. Next, load v3.1 of the disk driver,
then load v3.1 of the INSTALL NLM. Go to the SYSTEMs option
in INSTALL and choose the option "Copy System and Public
Files".
After selecting this option, the INSTALL utility will prompt
you for the appropriate disks. When it is finished, it will
return something to the effect of "Upload Complete" to the
screen.
PROBLEMS: All customers should now be receiving Btrieve with their
Update (Upgrade) kits. However, if you help a customer that
does not have Btrieve, or thinks he doesn't, here's some
hints:
1. The BTRIEVE diskette is not bundled (in the three boxes)
with the rest of the software. It is shrink wrapped by
itself with a manual. The part number on the outside of
the schrink wrapped package is 883-001053-001 A.
2. The BTRIEVE diskette is the last diskette that you are
prompted for, so if the customer doesn't want to load it,
have them abort after the PRINT SERVICES AND UTILITIES
diskette.
It has also been reported that INSTALL will not copy the
SYSTEM and PUBLIC files. It prompts you for the diskettes,
but nothing gets copied. We are investigating this.
One other area where customers may feel some grief is if
they are using the old DCB driver (that went out with v3.0)
and the Generic SCSI option. If they have this combination
of circumstances, they will have to delete the volume(s) and
the partition on the drive(s) that use the Generic SCSI
option. We address the drive differently with the newer
v3.0 and v3.1 driver.
One other note. If customers are using SHGEN to generate
a shell and choose the option for "Jumper configured", they
need to run JUMPER.EXE against IPX.COM and set the
appropriate I/O and shared memory addresses along with the
IRQ. Documentation on JUMPER.EXE is found in the README.386
file on the SYSTEM-1 diskette.
