*******************************************************
IBM PS2 SCSI Netware Adapter Support Diskette
*******************************************************
This README file contains instructions for installing the
IBM* PS2 SCSI adapter device drivers for Novell** Netware**
Versions 3.1X and 4.0 or later. It is recommended that you
print this README file prior to installing the files.
The NetWare drivers and NLM's provide an ASPI interface
which has been tested with the following vendor tape backup
software. A phone number for further information on each
vendor product is provided.
Palindrome Corporation** Network Archivist** (708-505-3300)
Cheyenne Software, Inc.** ARCserve** (516-484-5110)
This version of the driver has not been certified by
Novell, Inc.
The changes made to this version from the last version
(1.01) are to fix a potential data integrity problem when
using the ASPI interface to backup data. We suggest all
users upgrade to this new version of the driver as soon as
possible.
This driver also provides the necessary interfaces for
NetFinity to get management information from the SCSI
subsystem. The NetWare version of NetFinity is not yet
available but is planned for the near future.
This PS2SCSIA.EXE file contains the following files. Extract
the files by typing PS2SCSIA -d at the command line.
1. README.TXT - This file, explains the use of other files
and patches.
2. PS2SCSIA.DSK - IBM PS2 SCSI disk device driver for Novell
3.xx or 4.xx
The PS2SCSIA.DSK replaces a customers
PS2OPT.DSK or PS2SCSI.DSK wishing to use
ASPI. This module is loaded first.
3. IBMASPI.NLM - IBM/PALINDROME ASPI manager for Novell 3.xx
or 4.xx which exports ASPI_Entry point.
This module in turn sends ASPI passthru
IOCTL's to the PS2SCSIA.DSK. This
module is loaded after PS2SCSIA.DSK.
4. IBMENTRY.NLM - IBM/PALINDROME ASPI manager for Novell 3.xx
or 4.xx (optional) which exports IBM_Entry
point. The IBMENTRY.NLM file is provided
for systems which already have another SCSI
vendor card configured and use the exported
ASPI_Entry point. The export name of
"IBM_Entry" is provided to ASPI vendors for
an alternate entry point in this tuation.
This allows a customer to use both an IBM
adapter as well as another vendor adapter
in the same system as Novell only allows
the 'export' of one ASPI_Entry point.
5. ASPI50.NLM - If you plan to run Cheyenne ARCserve
running DOS Version (optional) 4.0 or
Windows Version 5.0 or earlier you must
install this new version of ASPI50.NLM with
your ARCserve software.
6. SCSISCAN.NLM - Palindrome NLM which will scan the scsi
bus. This module is (optional) provided to
aid in verifying that the customer has
successfully installed the PS2SCSIA.DSK,
IBMASPI.NLM, IBM SCSI adapter and devices.
Successful execution of this NLM will
result in a screen display showing all
attached SCSI devices and id's. It is
recommended that this NLM be run prior to
installing tape backup software.
7. D854.TXT and The Novell certification bulletins for this
D855.TXT device driver.
(Version 1.01 was certified, version 1.02
is not yet.)
In addition the following Novell Operating system patches are
required for when running 3.12. These files are in the NW312
directory, and are in a self-extracting zip file These files
can be found in PATCH312.ZIP:
Name Description
------ -----------
1. DAICCFIX.NLM 1076 bytes 02-07-94
2. PM312.NLM 9586 bytes 08-31-93
3. REALMFIX.NLM 3207 bytes 02-07-94
In addition the following Novell Operating system patches are
required for when running 4.XX. These files are in the NW4XX
directory, and are in a self-extracting zip file These files
can be found in PATCH4XX.ZIP:
Name Description
------ -----------
1. DAICCFIX.NLM 1031 bytes 02-07-94
2. PM401.NLM 8113 bytes 08-26-93
3. REALMFIX.NLM 2756 bytes 02-07-94

Installing Device Drivers for Novell NetWare Versions 3.1X or
4.X
---------------------------------------------------------------
Use the instructions in this section if you have Novell
NetWare Version 3.1X or 4.X installed.
NOTE: Tape drives which do not support 4K block sizes will
result in a warning message that they must use ASPI
tape backup software.
1. Turn on the display and system unit.
2. Prepare the NetWare startup drive according to the
instructions
in the NetWare manual.
3. Insert the IBM PS2 SCSI Adapter Device Drivers
Diskette which contains the PS2SCSIA.DSK driver and
other files required for Netware support into the
diskette drive.
4. Type the following:
copy a:\PS2SCSIA.DSK d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
The PS2SCSIA.DSK driver is the base device driver for
the IBM PS2 SCSI PCI Bus Adapter which supports hard
disks, IBM CD-ROM drives, IBM tape drives, and IBM
Rewritable Optical Disk drives. Additional Netware
Loadable Modules (NLMs) described below are also
provided to support Netware ASPI compliant device
drivers required by SCSI device drivers and Netware
compatible server backup software packages.
5. Type the following:
copy a:\IBMASPI.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
The IBMASPI.NLM exports the "ASPI_Entry" entry point
and sends IOCTL commands to the PS2SCSIA.DSK module.
These two modules are usually all that is required
for both disk and ASPI support.
6. Type the following:
copy a:\SCSISCAN.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Use of this module is optional and is provided to aid
in verifying that the customer has successfully
installed the PS2SCSIA.DSK, IBMASPI.NLM, IBM PS2 SCSI
adapter and devices. Successful execution of this NLM
will result in a screen display showing all attached
SCSI devices and their ID's. It is recommended that
this NLM be run prior to installing tape backup
software.
7. Type the following:
copy a:\IBMENTRY.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Use of the IBMENTRY.NLM file is optional and is
provided for systems which already have another
vendor's SCSI adapter configured to use the exported
"ASPI_Entry" entry point. The export name of
"IBM_Entry" is provided to ASPI device drivers as
an alternate entry point in this situation.
8a. If you are using Netware version 3.12, the following
system patches also must be copied.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW312\DAICCFIX.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW312\REALMFIX.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW312\PM312.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
8b. If you are using Netware version 4.xx, the following
system patches also must be copied.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW4XX\DAICCFIX.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW4XX\REALMFIX.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
Type the following:
copy a:\NW4XX\PM401.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
9. If you are using Cheyenne ARCserve server backup
software for DOS Version 4.0 or for Windows Version
5.0 or earlier, you must also install the following
new version of ASPI50.NLM.
Type the following:
copy a:\ASPI50.NLM d:
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
10. To start the NetWare operating system, type the
following at the command prompt:
SERVER
and press Enter.
11. At this time, make sure all activity on the server
has stopped.
Then load the DAICCFIX.NLM and REALMFIX.NLM NetWare
patch files in that order if they were copied in step
8a or 8b above and you are using Netware version 3.12
or 4.xx.
NOTE: The PM312.NLM or PM401.NLM patch files will be
loaded automatically.
12. At the NetWare server console prompt, type the
following:
LOAD d:PS2SCSIA
(where d: is the NetWare startup drive) and press
Enter.
This loads the basic device driver required for
Netware support. The appropriate NLMs that you
chose to copy above should also be loaded at this
time depending on your version of Netware and other
installed equipment/software.
In summary a customer should first load PS2SCSIA.DSK then
IBMASPI.NLM. Finally it is recommended that a customer load
SCSISCAN.NLM which will do an SCSI scan of the bus using the
ASPI interface to verify that the SCSI adapter, SCSI
devices, NLM and DSK are loaded and operating properly. Any
problems up to this point should be directed to IBM
customer support.
NOTE: Before creating or deleting NetWare disk partitions
with the NetWare INSTALL.NLM utility while running
NetWare 3.12 or 4.xx, the IBMASPI.NLM and/or
IBMENTRY.NLM must be unloaded.
