-
-
-
-
-
-
- Chapter 1 Overview
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- This manual explains how to install Microsoft LAN Manager 2.0. Though
- primarily written for the network administrator, anyone who installs or
- modifies the configuration of LAN Manager software should read this manual.
-
-
- If you want to install as quickly as possible, without adjusting LAN Manager
- settings, read this chapter, then use the Microsoft LAN Manager Quick
- Reference for Installation.
-
- Before you begin, have the following information available:
-
-
- ■ Manuals for the computer.
-
- ■ Manuals for the operating system.
-
- ■ The manufacturer's name and model name of the network adapter card
- (the hardware in the computer that connects to the local-area
- network).
-
- ■ The name of the protocol(s) that you will be using (the software that
- LAN Manager uses to communicate with the local-area network).
-
- ■ The name of the computer's domain (a number of computers grouped for
- administrative and security purposes); if this computer is a server in
- a new domain, choose a new domain name.
-
- ■ The amount of random access memory (RAM) in the computer. (For MS-DOS,
- the Setup program detects the amount, but you may want to confirm it.)
-
-
- If you have not already installed the network hardware and operating system
- software, you must do so before installing the LAN Manager software.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If a computer is not actually connected to a local-area network, it is
- possible to install LAN Manager software without a network adapter card and
- emulate network operation. In this case, install LAN Manager using the local
- loopback driver, LOOPDRV.OS2. The loopback driver lets a computer with no
- network adapter card run LAN Manager for testing purposes. For more
- information about LOOPDRV.OS2, see the Microsoft LAN Manager Network Device
- Driver Guide.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- System requirements for LAN Manager depend on whether you are installing the
- software for a server, an MS OS/2 workstation (with or without the Peer
- service), an Enhanced workstation for MS-DOS, or a Basic workstation for
- MS-DOS. The Peer service allows an MS OS/2 workstation to share some of its
- resources with other computers.
-
- A server requires MS OS/2 version 1.2 or IBM OS/2 Standard Edition version
- 1.2 corrective service diskette (CSD) XR04053. When installed on IBM OS/2
- 1.2, LAN Manager may replace the OS/2 print spooler with the MS OS/2 1.2
- print spooler. The print spooler is software that manages print requests.
- For more information about the print spooler, see the Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Guide.
-
- The main differences between an Enhanced workstation for MS-DOS and a Basic
- workstation for MS-DOS are that the Basic workstation uses less memory, has
- a limited set of commands, does not use named pipes, and does not have the
- LAN Manager Screen. Named pipes are an interprocess communication (IPC)
- method for remote program execution (like the LAN Manager net run command)
- and other distributed applications (programs that coordinate activity
- between two or more computers, like Microsoft SQL Server). For more
- information about IPC resources, see the Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Guide.

- About Setup
-
- To install LAN Manager, use the Setup program on the LAN Manager Setup disk.
- Later, to remove or modify LAN Manager configurations, use the copy of Setup
- on your hard disk. To upgrade from a previous version of LAN Manager, see
- Chapter 8, "Upgrading from an Earlier LAN Manager Version," before using the
- Setup program.
-
- The Setup program is comprised of screens that lead you through the
- installation process. You can use either the keyboard or the mouse with
- Setup.
-
- Typically, Setup proposes a response to each prompt. If you are unsure about
- how to respond to a prompt, accept the proposed response. Many prompts have
- an equivalent entry in the LANMAN.INI file, the LAN Manager configuration
- file. Entry names used in the LANMAN.INI file are noted. For more
- information about LANMAN.INI, see the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's
- Reference.
-
- When you install LAN Manager, Setup makes copies of the existing CONFIG.SYS
- (or CONFIG.OS2 for a dual-boot computer) and STARTUP.CMD files on an MS OS/2
- computer, or the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on an MS-DOS computer.
- The "Backing Up System Files" section, later in this chapter, describes how
- Setup makes the backup copies.
-
- Setup then adds entries to the CONFIG.SYS (or CONFIG.OS2), and STARTUP.CMD
- or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If no STARTUP.CMD or AUTOEXEC.BAT file exists, Setup
- creates one.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- Do not edit the lines Setup adds to your system files. Changing these lines
- can cause problems with LAN Manager and with the configuration Setup
- requires. You may need to change the location of the lines in the startup
- file (STARTUP.CMD or AUTOEXEC.BAT); see the "Backing Up System Files"
- section, later in this chapter.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- Starting Setup
-
- When you install LAN Manager, use the Setup program on the installation
- disks. After installation, use the copy of the Setup program on your hard
- disk.

-
-
- Using Setup
-
- Setup contains a series of screens, menus (sets of commands), and dialog
- boxes (screens in which you type information or select options). The menus
- are presented in a menu bar at the top of the Setup Screen. Appendix E,
- "Setup Menus and Menu Commands," shows all of the Setup menus and menu
- commands. You perform a task by choosing a menu command (one of the entries
- in a menu), options in a dialog box, and a command button (a command

-
-
- Online Help
-
- Setup provides two levels of online help:
-
- Full help
- This level of help provides a full screen of information before each
- dialog box, indicating what you are about to do and the information you
- will need.
-
- Specific help (F1)
- Whenever you press the F1 key, this level of help provides a small popup
- window with information about a particular item.
-
- The first time you use Setup, full help is provided. To change the help
- level:
-
-
- 1. From the Options menu, choose Program options.
-
- The dialog box shown in Figure 1.2 appears.
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 2. Select the level of help you want.
-
- 3. Choose <OK>.
-
-
- The Setup program on the installation disks always starts with full help
- selected. The Setup program copied to the computer's LAN Manager software
- directory retains the last level of help selected.
-
-
- Backing Up System Files
-
- The Setup program adds lines to the CONFIG.SYS file and to the system
- startup file (STARTUP.CMD for MS OS/2 or AUTOEXEC.BAT for MS-DOS). If no
- startup file exists, Setup creates one.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- CAUTION
-
- If the startup file contains an exit line at the end, Setup adds lines
- before the exit line. If an exit line appears in the middle, Setup adds
- lines to the end, and you must manually remove the exit command or move it
- to the end of the file. Otherwise, the lines added by Setup will not run.
- If the startup file includes lines that call other batch files, be sure
- that the lines added by Setup will be run. Move the lines, or for MS-DOS
- version 3.3 or later or for MS OS/2, be sure that each call is made with the
- call command so that control returns to the startup file after running the
- other batch file.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Setup provides two ways to maintain backup copies of the system files when
- making changes to the files:
-
- Decimal filename extensions
- This backup method creates a new backup copy each time you save the Setup
- configuration. Setup never writes over an existing backup file. The backup
- file has the filename of the system file, with a unique number as the
- filename extension. For example, the first backup copy of CONFIG.SYS is
- named CONFIG.001, the next backup copy is named CONFIG.002, and so on.
-
- .BAK filename extension
- This backup method copies the system file to the same filename, with the
- filename extension .BAK. If a .BAK file already exists, Setup writes over
- it, and the original .BAK file is lost. For example, the backup copy of
- CONFIG.SYS is named CONFIG.BAK, whether or not there was previously a
- CONFIG.BAK.
-
- The first time you use Setup, the .BAK method is selected. To change the
- backup method:
-
-
- 1. From the Options menu, choose Program options.
-
- The "Setup Program Options" dialog box (Figure 1.2) appears.
-
- 2. Select the backup method you want.
-
- 3. Choose <OK>.
-
-
- The Setup program on the installation disks always starts with the .BAK
- method selected. The Setup program copied to the computer's LAN Manager
- software directory retains the last backup method selected.
-
-
- Tuning Server Performance
-
- When you install a server, the Setup program adjusts some LAN Manager memory
- settings to match the computer's available memory. Each time you run the
- Setup program after installation, it continues to adjust these settings.
- Based on the "Total memory," "Dedicated server," and "Maximum users" fields,
- Setup adjusts the "Maximum connections to server," "Number of large-transfer
- buffers," and "Number of request buffers" fields.
-
- If you decide to modify the memory settings yourself, you can turn off the
- automatic tuning feature. To change the automatic tuning feature:
-
-
- 1. From the Options menu, choose Program options.
-
- The "Setup Program Options" dialog box (Figure 1.2) appears.
-
- 2. Select "Yes" or "No" for automatic tuning.
-
- 3. Choose <OK>.
-
-
- The Setup program on the installation disks always starts with automatic
- tuning selected; you cannot change the setting until installation is done.
- The Setup program copied to the computer's LAN Manager software directory
- retains the last setting selected.
-
-
- Exiting Setup
-
- After using Setup to install, remove, or modify LAN Manager, you must exit
- the Setup program. The CONFIG.SYS, STARTUP.CMD, and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
- remain unchanged until Setup is properly exited.
-
- If you choose <Cancel> during disk copying, copied files are automatically
- deleted. You can then exit the Setup program.
-
- To exit the Setup program:
-
-
- ■ From the Exit menu, choose Exit (or press F3 at any time).
-
- The system prompt appears.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- CAUTION
-
- Turning off or restarting the computer before properly exiting Setup causes
- the installation or modification process to be incomplete.
- If you inadvertently turn off the computer once disk copying has begun, use
- the Remove command from the Actions menu to delete the copied files and
- begin again. See Chapter 7, "Removing an Installation."

- Chapter 2 Installing a Server
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- To install a server, the computer must have a 286 or 386 microprocessor, a
- minimum of 5 megabytes of system memory (6 megabytes for a 386 server), and
- MS OS/2 version 1.2 (or IBM OS/2 version 1.2 CSD XR04053 or higher).
-
- For optimum performance, format the hard disk of a 386 server with at least
- one high-performance file system (HPFS) partition. HPFS is an MS OS/2
- installable file system, a file system that can be installed in place of the
- usual file allocation table (FAT) file system. HPFS is faster than the FAT
- file system and allows long names for directories and files (up to 254
- characters per directory or file name). For more information about the HPFS
- and FAT file systems, see your MS OS/2 manual(s).
-
- During installation, Setup replaces HPFS with the enhanced LAN Manager
- version, HPFS386. HPFS386 takes full advantage of the 32-bit capabilities of
- the 386 microprocessor. If HPFS is not installed, no enhancements are made
- to the operating system.
-
- Nine megabytes of system memory are recommended for servers with HPFS386. To
- install local security, where the user at the server's keyboard is subject
- to LAN Manager's security restrictions, the boot partition must be an
- HPFS386 partition. A server with HPFS386 cannot have a DOS session for MS
- OS/2. For details about HPFS, see your MS OS/2 manual(s). For information
- about local security, see the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
- To include the drive mirroring and drive duplexing features of fault
- tolerance, protecting data from hardware failure, any partitions you want to
- mirror should be HPFS partitions. You can set up FAT partitions to be
- mirrored; the FAT partitions are reformatted as HPFS partitions. For more
- information about drive mirroring and drive duplexing, see Appendix A,
- "Setting Up the Fault-Tolerance System."
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- To install LAN Manager software on a partition protected by the
- fault-tolerance system, set up the fault-tolerance system first. Setting up
- the fault-tolerance system reformats the partition.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Before you begin, have available the manuals for the computer and network
- adapter card, and the LAN Manager disks.
-
-

-
-
-
- Importing Additional Network Device Drivers
-
- LAN Manager uses network device drivers (software that coordinates between
- the computer's software and hardware) to operate the network adapter card(s)
- in the computer: network adapter card drivers (also known as media access
- control drivers) control the physical function of the network adapter cards,
- and protocol drivers control the card drivers. Standard LAN Manager software
- includes many network device drivers to work with many brands of network
- adapter cards.
-
- You can also install network device drivers not supplied with LAN Manager if
- the network device driver is on a disk prepared for LAN Manager
- installation. Importing the driver means using the Setup program to transfer
- the driver software from its separate disk to the computer's LANMAN
- directory, where the driver is then treated as any other LAN Manager driver.
-
- If you are unsure about the network device drivers for your computer, do not
- import additional drivers now; you can import drivers later using the Import
- command from the Actions menu. For more information about network device
- drivers, see the Microsoft LAN Manager Network Device Driver Guide.
-
- To import additional network device drivers:
-
-
- 1. Insert a network device driver disk and choose <OK>.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears, displaying the network drivers
- available for import:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 2. In the "Network adapter cards" list box, select the card drivers you
- want to import.
-
- 3. In the "Protocols" list box, select the protocols you want to import.
-
- 4. Choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 5. If you have another network driver disk, choose <Yes> and return to
- the beginning of this procedure.
-
- If you are done importing network device drivers, choose <No>.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- A series of dialog boxes appear in which you define the primary
- parameters for the server.
-
-
-
- Defining Primary Parameters
-
- Primary parameters determine how the server operates. Many parameters have
- an equivalent entry in the LANMAN.INI file. Entry names used in the
- LANMAN.INI file are noted. For more information about LANMAN.INI, see the
- Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Reference.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If the computer uses Micro Channel(tm) architecture (MCA), it has a
- DISK02.SYS disk driver file in the root directory of the boot partition
- (usually C:\). The Setup program may offer to replace this driver with an
- enhanced version for HPFS386. Accept the enhanced DISK02.SYS driver unless
- the existing DISK02.SYS driver has been modified for some other purpose. The
- Setup program renames the existing DISK02.SYS file, and restores it if you
- remove LAN Manager.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- Primary Parameters Dialog Box
-
- The "Primary Parameters" dialog box specifies the name and other essential
- settings for the computer:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- To define the primary parameters:
-
-
- 1. In the "Computername" text box (computername in LANMAN.INI), type a
- computername for this server.
-
- The computername is the name by which users connect to and send
- messages to this server. The computername can have as many as 15
- characters, including letters, numbers, and the following characters:
-
- ! # $ % & ( ) - . @ ^ _ ` { } ~
-
- Each computername must be unique on the local-area network or any
- other network to which this network is connected, though it can be the
- same as the username for the user of this computer.
-
- 2. In the "Username" text box (username in LANMAN.INI), type a name for
- the user.
-
- The username is the name by which an administrator assigns permissions
- to use resources. The username can have as many as 20 characters and
- can be the same as the computername. The default is "USER."
-
- 3. In the "Domain" text box (domain in LANMAN.INI), type the name of the
- domain in which this server will participate.
-
- A domain is a number of computers that an administrator groups for
- administrative and security purposes. The name of a domain can have as
- many as 15 characters and cannot be the same as a computername. The
- default is "DOMAIN."
-
- 4. To have LAN Manager start automatically whenever the computer is
- started, select "Yes" from the "Autostart at boot time" option
- buttons.
-
- 5. Type the amount of memory, in kilobytes, in the computer (1 megabyte =

-
- This dialog box has the following fields:
-
- Services to autostart (srvservices in LANMAN.INI)
- Lists the services to be started automatically each time the server is
- started. (In a later dialog box, you select services to be started when
- the workstation is started without the Server service.)
-
- Alerter
- Sends administrative alerts over the network.
-
- Netrun
- Shares the server's memory with workstations.
-
- Replicator
- Maintains identical copies of selected directories and files on
- several servers (or MS OS/2 workstations running the Peer service)
- simultaneously.
-
- UPS
- Provides warning messages to users when a power failure occurs and
- initiates an orderly shutdown.
-
- Netlogon
- Determines how servers with user-level security validate logon
- requests. This service is ignored on a server with share-level
- security.
-
- Remoteboot
- Lets the server start up workstations remotely.
-
- Timesource
- Identifies a network time server to which other servers can
- synchronize their clocks.
-
- Security (security in LANMAN.INI)
- Specifies the level of security (the default is "User"):
-
- User
- Specifies user-level security, which controls access to the server's
- resources on a per-person basis. The administrator defines exactly
- which users can use each resource.
-
- Share
- Specifies share-level security, which controls access on a
- per-resource basis. The administrator assigns a password to each
- resource and distributes the password to the users who need it.
-
- Local security
- Specifies whether to install local security on servers with HPFS386 (the
- LAN Manager version of the MS OS/2 1.2 high-performance file system).
- Local security requires permissions to access any local file or directory
- in an HPFS386 partition, whether or not the resource is shared. You can
- alter this field only if the boot partition is an HPFS386 partition.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- A server with local security should have user-level security.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- If the boot partition is an HPFS386 partition and you want to implement
- local security, select "Yes."
-
- The default is "No."
-
- Hidden server (srvhidden in LANMAN.INI)
- Specifies whether the server appears in lists of network servers.
-
- The default is "No," meaning that the server appears in the lists.
-
- Dedicated server
- Specifies a computer that is used primarily as a server, rather than for
- running applications locally. The default, "Yes," allocates most of the
- computer's memory for LAN Manager, leaving a minimum amount of memory for
- the local user.
-
- If you select "No," more memory is available for running programs on the
- server, but LAN Manager software does not operate as efficiently.
-
- Maximum users (maxusers in LANMAN.INI)
- Sets the maximum number of users who can use the server simultaneously.
- This affects LAN Manager's memory buffer usage.
-
- The range is 1-1000; the default is 10.
-
- A LAN Manager server allows five users to simultaneously access disk,
- printer, and communication devices. After installing LAN Manager, you can
- apply Additional User Paks (10 User Paks or an Unlimited User Pak) to
- expand this number of users.
-
- The total value of "Maximum users" should include the number allowed by
- your Additional User Pak(s) plus the number of users accessing the server
- through IPC connections (named pipes used by network application programs
- such as the net run command or Microsoft SQL Server).
-
- For example, if you have a 25-user server and you want to allow 10
- additional users to access the server through network application
- programs, you would set "Maximum users" to 35.
-
- User directories path (userpath in LANMAN.INI)
- Specifies the pathname of the directory containing the user directories.
- If the pathname does not start with a drive letter or a backslash, it is
- assumed to be relative to the LANMAN directory.
-
- The default path is ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS.
-
- Guest account name (guestacct in LANMAN.INI)
- Specifies the username of the server's guest account. The guest account
- controls access to shared resources for users who do not have a user
- account.
-
- The guest account name can have as many as 20 characters. If you leave
- this entry blank or if there is no user account with this name, users must
- have a user account to access the shared resources on this server.
-
- The default is "GUEST."
-
- Auto-disconnect time (autodisconnect in LANMAN.INI)
- For a server with an Unlimited User Pak, sets the time the server waits
- before disconnecting an inactive session. Disconnecting inactive sessions
- frees server resources for other people to use.
-
- The default value -1 means that the server never disconnects an inactive
- session. For a server with an Unlimited User Pak, a suggested value is 120
- minutes.
-
- Default remote server (remote in LANMAN.INI)
- Specifies the computername of a server you will regularly administer from
- this computer. When you start the LAN Manager Screen for administrators,
- the focus is set on this remote server.
-
- Server comment (srvcomment in LANMAN.INI)
- Sets the server's comment, which is seen by other network users. A comment
- can have as many as 48 characters.

-
-
-
- Importing Additional Network Device Drivers
-
- LAN Manager uses network device drivers (software that coordinates between
- the computer's software and hardware) to operate the network adapter card(s)
- in the computer: network adapter card drivers (also known as media access
- control drivers) control the physical function of the network adapter cards,
- and protocol drivers control the card drivers. Standard LAN Manager software
- includes many network device drivers to work with many brands of network
- adapter cards.
-
- You can also install network device drivers not supplied with LAN Manager if
- the network device driver is on a disk prepared for LAN Manager
- installation. Importing the driver means using the Setup program to transfer
- the driver software from its separate disk to the computer's LANMAN.DOS
- directory, where the driver is then treated as any other LAN Manager driver.
-
- If you are unsure about the network device drivers for your computer, do not
- import additional drivers now; you can import drivers later using the Import
- command from the Actions menu. For more information about network device
- drivers, see the Microsoft LAN Manager Network Device Driver Guide.
-
- To import additional network device drivers:
-
-
- 1. Insert a network device driver disk and choose <OK>.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.

- Chapter 7 Removing an Installation
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- You may need to remove LAN Manager software to upgrade to a newer version or
- to upgrade the MS OS/2 operating system.
-
- This chapter presents three ways to remove LAN Manager:
-
-
- ■ Removing LAN Manager entirely. This procedure removes all LAN Manager
- files and the LAN Manager directory. Lines added to the system files
- during installation are also removed. This lets you upgrade LAN
- Manager to a new version.
-
- ■ Detaching LAN Manager from the MS OS/2 operating system. This is
- necessary only when upgrading the MS OS/2 operating system on a server
- with HPFS386. The LAN Manager files and the LAN Manager directory
- remain intact; the Setup program simply removes lines added to the
- system files (including OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI) during installation.
-
- ■ Removing the LAN Manager HPFS386 file system driver. Do this only if
- you need to use the MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS file system driver.
-
-
-
- Saving Files
-
- If you are removing LAN Manager, you may want to save files for reference.
- Copy them to another directory (or to a removable disk) before removing the
- installation. You don't need to save files when detaching LAN Manager. For
- example, you might want to save
-
-
- ■ Profiles in the LANMAN\PROFILES directory.
-
- ■ Third-party network device drivers (not originally provided with LAN
- Manager) in the LANMAN\DRIVERS directory.
-
- ■ Error logs, message logs, and audit trails in the LANMAN\LOGS
- directory of a server.
-
- ■ LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC, the user accounts database file of a server.
- To copy this file, use backacc or copy the file while LAN Manager is
- not running. For more information about backacc, see the Microsoft LAN
- Manager Administrator's Reference.
-
- ■ Home directories and scripts in the LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS directory
- of a server.
-
- ■ All contents of the LANMAN\REPL\EXPORT directory of a server.
-
- ■ Remoteboot configuration and user directories under LANMAN\RPL and
- LANMAN\RPLUSER on a server.
-
-
-
- Removing LAN Manager
-
- Removing LAN Manager removes LAN Manager files and directories, and lines
- from the system files (including OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI). This lets you
- install a new version of LAN Manager.
-
- To remove LAN Manager software from a computer:
-
-
- 1. Restart the Setup program as described in Chapter 1, "Overview."
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- 2. From the Actions menu, choose Remove.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-

-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 3. Choose <Yes>.
-
- 4. When the operating system prompt appears, restart the computer.
-
- For MS OS/2, use the MS OS/2 Presentation Manager Shutdown command.
-
-
-
- Detaching LAN Manager
-
- Detaching LAN Manager removes lines from the system files (including OS2.INI
- and OS2SYS.INI) and removes permissions from all directories and files. This
- is necessary to upgrade (or apply software updates to) the MS OS/2 operating
- system on a server with HPFS386 partitions because the MS OS/2 HPFS file
- system driver cannot access files with LAN Manager permissions assigned.
-
- To detach LAN Manager from the MS OS/2 operating system:
-
-
- 1. Restart the Setup program as described in Chapter 1, "Overview."
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- 2. From the Actions menu, choose Detach.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 3. Choose <Yes>.
-
- 4. From the Actions menu, choose Save.
-
- A message box appears, stating that the configuration is being saved.
-
- 5. From the Exit menu, choose Exit.
-
- 6. When the MS OS/2 prompt appears, use the MS OS/2 Presentation Manager
- Shutdown command to restart the computer.
-
- For details, see your MS OS/2 manual(s).
-
-
- You can now upgrade the MS OS/2 operating system. See the following section
- to reattach LAN Manager.
-
-
- Attaching LAN Manager
-
- After using the Setup program's Detach command and upgrading the MS OS/2
- operating system, use the Attach command to restore LAN Manager software.
-
- To reattach LAN Manager to the MS OS/2 operating system:
-
-
- 1. Restart the Setup program as described in Chapter 1, "Overview."
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- 2. From the Actions menu, choose Attach.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 3. Choose <Yes>.
-
- 4. From the Actions menu, choose Save.
-
- A message box appears, stating that the configuration is being saved.
-
- 5. From the Exit menu, choose Exit.
-
- 6. If the Setup program reported any errors while attaching LAN Manager,
- read the LANMAN\ACLERR.LOG file for descriptions of the errors. You
- can delete the ACLERR.LOG file after reading it.
-
- 7. When the MS OS/2 prompt appears, use the MS OS/2 Presentation Manager
- Shutdown command to restart the computer.
-
- For details, see your MS OS/2 manual(s).
-
-
-
- Removing HPFS386
-
- LAN Manager converts MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS partitions to HPFS386 partitions.
- HPFS386 stores permissions for files and directories in the file system
- itself for improved LAN Manager performance. Because the method of storing
- the files is different, the MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS file system driver cannot
- access HPFS386 files with permissions assigned.
-
- To access HPFS386 files using the MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS driver, you have two
- choices:
-
-
- ■ Remove all directory and file permissions. The MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS driver
- can now read all files on the partition, though it is still an HPFS386
- partition.
-
- ■ Remove directory and file permissions, then remove the HPFS386 file
- system driver, replacing it with the MS OS/2 1.2 HPFS driver.
-
-
-
- Removing HPFS386 File Permissions
-
- To remove all directory and file permissions on an HPFS386 partition:
-
-
- 1. From the Accounts menu on the LAN Manager Screen, choose File
- permissions.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 2. In the "Filename" text box, type the root directory of the HPFS386
- partition (such as C:\).
-
- 3. Choose >.
-
- 4. Choose <Done>.
-
-
-
- Removing the HPFS386 File System Driver
-
- To remove the HPFS386 file system driver, replacing it with the MS OS/2 1.2
- HPFS driver:
-
-
- 1. Remove all file permissions on the HPFS386 partition, as described in
- the previous procedure.
-
- 2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file, making the following changes:
-
- ■ Remove the ifs=hpfs386.ifs line.
-
- ■ Remove the run=cache.exe line.
-
- ■ Insert the following line in place of the ifs=hpfs386 line:
-
- ifs=c:\os2\hpfs.ifs /cache:xx /autocheck:yy
-
- where xx is the desired size of the HPFS cache and yy is the drive
- letters of HPFS partitions.
-
-
- 3. Use the MS OS/2 Presentation Manager Shutdown command to restart the
- computer.
-
- For details, see your MS OS/2 manual(s).

- Chapter 8 Upgrading from an Earlier LAN Manager Version
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The following list outlines the steps you will take to upgrade from an
- earlier LAN Manager version (1.x) to LAN Manager version 2.0:
-
-
- ■ Save selected files, including the user accounts database, in a
- separate location to be restored or reviewed later.
-
- ■ Remove the old version of LAN Manager.
-
- ■ If necessary, upgrade the operating system. This may include upgrading
- to the MS OS/2 high-performance file system (HPFS).
-
- ■ Install LAN Manager 2.0 with the Setup program.
-
- ■ Restore the saved files.
-
- ■ Convert and reinstall the previous user accounts database and resource
- permissions.
-
-
- The following sections describe each step in detail.
-
-
- Saving Files
-
- There are two reasons to save files from LAN Manager 1.x: restoring and
- reviewing. You will return some files to the LAN Manager 2.0 software
- directory. Other files you will save for reference only, as a reminder of
- how you set up LAN Manager 1.x.
-
- Copy the files to a location outside the LANMAN directory (whatever its
- pathname on the computer, usually C:\LANMAN or C:\LANMAN.DOS).
-
- If you'll be upgrading the operating system in a way that erases data on the
- hard disk (such as reformatting for the HPFS file system), save the files on
- a floppy disk or other removable medium.
-
- To save LAN Manager 1.x files for later use:
-
-
- 1. Stop LAN Manager software by typing
-
- net stop workstation
-
- 2. Copy the following files, to be restored after the upgrade (pathnames
- are relative to the LANMAN directory):
-
-
- PROFILES\*.PRO
- LAN Manager profiles.
-
- LOGS\MESSAGES.LOG
- Messages received by the computer.
-
- LOGS\SCHED.LOG
- The list of time-delayed commands used by the LAN Manager at utility
- on a server.
-
- DRIVERS\(third-party driver subdirectories)
- Network device drivers supplied by a third party (not originally
- supplied with LAN Manager).
-
- ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS\*.* (including subdirectories)
- Home directories and scripts for a server that runs the Netlogon
- service (logon security that validates users' logon requests).
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- Do not save the default logon script,
- ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS\SCRIPTS\NETLOGON.CMD. This file is replaced with a new 2.0
- version.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- 1. Copy the following files, to be used for reference after the upgrade
- (pathnames are relative to the LANMAN directory):
-
-
- ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC
- The user accounts database (and permissions database for resources)
- for a server.
-
- LOGS\NET.AUD
- The audit trail for a server.
-
- LANMAN.INI
- The LAN Manager initialization file. You must use the 2.0 version of
- LANMAN.INI, but you may want to refer to the earlier file.
-
- DRIVERS\PROTOCOL.INI
- The configuration file for LAN Manager device drivers. LAN Manager 2.0
- creates a new PROTOCOL.INI file at installation, but you may want to
- refer to earlier modifications to device driver options.
-
- C:\CONFIG.SYS
- The system configuration file. LAN Manager 2.0 makes appropriate
- modifications to CONFIG.SYS, but you may want to refer to earlier
- modifications not covered by the Setup program. For example, if the
- computer's network adapter card is not in the Setup program's list,
- you must modify CONFIG.SYS manually as described in the Microsoft LAN
- Manager Network Device Driver Guide.
-
- The Setup program creates a backup copy of CONFIG.SYS during
- installation, but if you upgrade the operating system, you lose the
- LAN Manager 1.x modifications.
-
-
- Removing LAN Manager 1.x
-
- Use the LAN Manager 1.x Setup program to remove LAN Manager 1.x:
-
-
- 1. Be sure that you are not in the LANMAN directory or any of its
- subdirectories in any of your MS OS/2 sessions.
-
- If you are, you will not be able to remove the directories.
-
- 2. Start the LAN Manager 1.x Setup program by typing
-
- netsetup
-
- If the Setup program does not start, put the LAN Manager 1.x
- Workstation Disk 1 or Server Disk 1 in drive A and type
-
- a:\netsetup
-
- 3. Choose menu command 4, "Remove LAN Manager software."
-
- You will see the following question:
-
- WARNING: Doing this will remove the directory [pathname] and its
- contents.
- In addition, this will delete lines from the following files:
-
- [list of system files]
-
- Are you sure you want to do this (Y/N)? [N]:
-
- 4. Type Y.
-
- When the LAN Manager software has been removed, the Setup main menu
- appears.
-
- 5. Choose menu command 5, "Quit the Setup program."
-
-
- If the removal fails, system files (CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, STARTUP.CMD,
- and OS2INIT.CMD) may still contain LAN Manager commands that interfere with
- installing LAN Manager 2.0. You will need to remove these LAN Manager
- commands manually from the files.
-
- In CONFIG.SYS, remove
-
-
- ■ lanroot\netprog from the path line, where lanroot is the pathname of
- the LANMAN directory
-
- ■ lanroot\netlib from the libpath line
-
- ■ The device=fastopen.sys line, if it exists
-
- ■ Any device lines near the end of the file with the LANMAN directory in
- the pathnames
-
-
- In the remaining files, remove any commands relating to LAN Manager.
-
-
- Upgrading to a New Operating System Version
-
- Chapter 1, "Overview," describes system requirements, including operating
- system versions, for LAN Manager 2.0. A server or an MS OS/2 workstation
- running the Peer service must have MS OS/2 1.2. Other installations may not
- require an operating system upgrade.
-
- For instructions on upgrading the operating system, see the system
- documentation.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- When upgrading MS OS/2, the MS OS/2 installation utility may offer to save
- some MS OS/2 settings from the previous configuration. The "Save list and
- preferences" dialog box appears if MS OS/2 had a previously defined Desktop
- Manager group, program list, or set of Presentation Manager preferences. Do
- not save the previous settings, as this can cause complications with
- installation of print spooling software.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- When you upgrade to MS OS/2 1.2, you can install the high-performance file
- system (HPFS). If you do so on a 386 computer, installing LAN Manager 2.0
- automatically converts HPFS disk partitions to HPFS386, a version of HPFS
- optimized for network performance. If you want to install local security on
- a server (under which users working at the server are subject to LAN Manager
- security), you must install HPFS on the hard disk's boot partition. For more
- information about HPFS386 and local security, see the Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Guide.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- Installing HPFS replaces data on the hard disk because the process involves
- reformatting the drive. Be sure to save important files or directories
- before beginning the installation.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- If the upgrade involves reformatting the drive, restore all backed-up files
- to the drive before continuing. A later procedure involves converting the
- user accounts database and permissions from LAN Manager 1.x, and permissions
- will be restored to files only if you have copied the files back onto the
- drive.
-
- For information about upgrading MS OS/2 after installing LAN Manager, see
- Chapter 7, "Removing an Installation."
-
-
- Installing LAN Manager 2.0
-
- To install LAN Manager 2.0, turn to the chapter appropriate for the computer
- you are updating:
-
-
- ■ Chapter 2, "Installing a Server"
-
- ■ Chapter 3, "Installing an MS OS/2 Workstation"
-
- ■ Chapter 4, "Installing LAN Manager Enhanced on an MS-DOS Workstation"
-
- ■ Chapter 5, "Installing LAN Manager Basic on an MS-DOS Workstation"
-
-
- Follow the instructions for installing LAN Manager. Return to this chapter
- when you finish.
-
-
- Restoring Files
-
- To restore files that you saved from the previous LAN Manager version:
-
-
- 1. If you installed HPFS386 with local security, you need to log on with
- administrative privilege before you can write files to the hard disk.
- To log on with the default administrative account name and password,
- type
-
- net logon admin password
-
- 2. Copy saved profiles (*.PRO) to the LANMAN\PROFILES directory.
-
- 3. Copy the message log (MESSAGES.LOG) to the LANMAN\LOGS directory.
-
- 4. Copy the log for the LAN Manager at utility (SCHED.LOG) to the
- LANMAN\LOGS directory of a server.
-
- 5. Copy third-party network device drivers to the LANMAN\DRIVERS
- directory.
-
- 6. If the computer is a server that will run the Netlogon service, copy
- users' home directories to the LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS directory.
-
- 7. If the computer is a server that will run the Netlogon service, copy
- logon scripts to the appropriate locations:
-
- ■ LANMAN\REPL\IMPORT\SCRIPTS for users who will run LAN Manager 2.0
-
- ■ LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\USERDIRS\SCRIPTS for users who will run LAN
- Manager 1.x
-
-
-
-
- Converting the User Accounts Database
-
- This section applies only to servers with user-level security.
-
- It is assumed that you have followed all procedures in this chapter to
- install LAN Manager and have done the following:
-
-
- ■ Saved a copy of the LAN Manager 1.x LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC file.
-
- ■ If you upgraded any disk partitions to HPFS386, restored all backed-up
- directories and files to the partitions.
-
-
- Converting the LAN Manager 1.x user accounts database has two effects:
-
-
- ■ You won't need to recreate the user accounts database.
-
- LAN Manager 2.0 offers a domainwide security feature, where one server
- in a domain maintains a user accounts database and the other servers
- use copies of that database. Therefore, you only need to convert the
- database if the server will be a primary domain controller
- (maintaining the user accounts database for a domain) or a standalone
- server (maintaining its own database and not participating in
- domainwide security). For more information about domainwide security,
- see the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
- ■ The server retains permissions for server resources. With LAN Manager
- 1.x, permissions were stored in the NET.ACC file with the user
- accounts database. Converting the database also converts the
- permissions established for files, directories, printer queues,
- communication-device queues, and other resources.
-
- Permissions for disk resources (files and directories) on an HPFS386
- partition are stored in the file system itself. The procedure in this
- section converts the old permissions and installs them into the file
- system.
-
- For a non-HPFS386 partition, the permissions remain in NET.ACC.
-
-
- To convert a LAN Manager 1.x user accounts database and permissions to the
- LAN Manager 2.0 format:
-
-
- 1. Start the LAN Manager Workstation service by typing
-
- net start workstation
-
- 2. Log on, using the default LAN Manager 2.0 administrative account, by
- typing
-
- net logon admin password
-
- If you have already changed the password for the admin account, use
- the new password.
-
- 3. Convert the LAN Manager 1.x user accounts database by typing
-
- portacc pathname
-
- where pathname is the pathname of the LAN Manager 1.x NET.ACC file.
- For example, if the NET.ACC file is on a backup floppy disk, saved as
- part of an A:\LANMAN directory, type
-
- portacc a:\lanman\accounts\net.acc
-
-
- If you installed HPFS386 with local security, the Setup program established
- some file permissions on the C drive. The portacc command doesn't change
- these permissions; if the LAN Manager 1.x database specified permissions for
- those same files, the 1.x permissions are ignored.
-
- When a user account or group exists in the 2.0 database and in the 1.x
- database, the 2.0 user account or group remains; the 1.x user account or
- group is ignored. For example, if the 1.x database had an admin account, it
- does not overwrite the 2.0 admin account.
-
- You may want to adjust the converted user accounts since LAN Manager 2.0 has
- user account settings not present in LAN Manager 1.x. Settings that are new
- for LAN Manager 2.0 have the default values for all converted accounts. For
- more information about user accounts, see the Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Guide.
-

-
- Appendix A Setting Up the Fault-Tolerance System
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Included with Microsoft LAN Manager is a full-screen Ftsetup utility for
- configuring disk fault tolerance. The LAN Manager fault-tolerance system
- minimizes the possibility of data loss due to a hard disk or disk controller
- malfunction. The Ftsetup utility provides three fault-tolerance features:
- fault monitoring, drive mirroring, and drive duplexing.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If the computer already has a fault-tolerance system provided by the
- manufacturer, you do not need to use Ftsetup.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Fault monitoring monitors hard disks for errors. Any errors detected are
- recorded in a log and reported to the user by the Alerter service. When you
- run Ftsetup, fault monitoring is automatically implemented for all hard
- disks on the computer. For details about the Alerter service parameters, see
- Chapter 6, "Managing the Configuration."
-
- Drive mirroring requires at least two hard disks and HPFS partitions.
- Ftsetup can mirror partitions that are currently FAT partitions,
- reformatting them as HPFS partitions. The CONFIG.SYS file must include an
- ifs=hpfs.ifs or ifs=hpfs386.ifs line to start the HPFS installable file
- system. For more information about HPFS and the ifs=hpfs.ifs line in
- CONFIG.SYS, see your MS OS/2 manual(s).
-
- When you mirror a primary partition (a logical drive), a secondary partition
- (mirror) is created on a separate hard disk (physical drive). All changes
- written to the primary partition are written to the secondary partition
- simultaneously. In this way you can keep exact duplicates of as many as 11
- logical drives.
-
- Drive duplexing is like drive mirroring except that the parallel partitions
- are on hard disks with separate hard disk controllers providing protection
- against a faulty controller. If Ftsetup detects two controllers when you
- mirror drives, it automatically performs duplexing.
-
- Secondary partitions are not visible to the operating system, and you do not
- access them directly. If a hard disk fails, you can expose the related
- mirrored drives to the operating system and access the duplicate partitions
- directly. For details, see the "Managing Mirrored Drives" section, later in
- this chapter.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- CAUTION
-
- Drive mirroring formats the partitions to be mirrored and partitions to be
- used as mirrored drives. Before mirroring drives, be sure to back up any
- data on those partitions.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Before starting Ftsetup, administrators should read about the
- fault-tolerance system in the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
-

- Appendix B The LIM 4.0 Expanded Memory Manager
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The EMM386.DOS is an installable device driver that allows MS-DOS programs
- on 80386-based computers to emulate expanded memory (memory beyond the
- conventional memory limit of 640K) in extended memory (memory from 1
- megabyte [10,245K] to 16 megabytes [16,384K]). This driver supports the
- Lotus/Intel/Microsoft (LIM) 4.0 Expanded Memory Specification.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If you are already using an expanded memory manager with Microsoft Windows,
- do not install the EMM386.DOS driver.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- To use EMM386.DOS with your computer, you need
-
-
- ■ An 80386-based computer
-
- ■ 64K or more of extended memory
-
- ■ MS-DOS version 3.1 or later
-
-
- The EMM386.DOS device driver was being revised as this manual went to press.
- See the LANMAN.DOS\DOCUPDAT\INSTALL.TXT file for updated information about
- using this device driver.
-

-
- Appendix C Setting Up the Remoteboot Service
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- When you boot a computer, the operating system is loaded into memory. With
- LAN Manager, workstations can be booted over the network by servers running
- the Remoteboot service. When the workstation is turned on, it broadcasts a
- boot request, and a designated server responds by sending back boot
- software. This process is known as remoteboot, or remote program load (RPL).
-
- For remoteboot, workstations must have a Token-Ring network adapter card
- with the RPL ROM chip installed.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- The server's MS OS/2 license does not extend to other computers. You must
- have one valid MS-DOS or MS OS/2 license for each remoteboot workstation.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- With the Remoteboot service, administrators can
-
-
- ■ Enhance network security by using workstations that run only the
- software an administrator makes available and that have no disk drives
- that can be used to copy data
-
- ■ Update system software for workstations without changing files at each
- workstation
-
- ■ Centralize disk resources, maintaining a few large server hard disks
- instead of many smaller workstation hard disks
-
-
- This appendix explains how to install the Remoteboot service on the server,
- set up the first remoteboot workstation, and troubleshoot the Remoteboot
- service. The Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide explains how to set
- up additional workstations and customize the Remoteboot service.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- The LANMAN directory in the following procedures may have another pathname
- on the server; this is set during installation. The default is C:\LANMAN.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- Memory Requirements
-
- Before you begin, be sure your server has enough disk space for the files
- needed by both the server and the remote workstations:
-
-
- ■ If you are booting only MS-DOS workstations, you will need 20
- megabytes of disk space, plus space for work directories.
-
- ■ If you are booting only MS OS/2 workstations, you'll need 30.5
- megabytes of disk space, plus space for a work directory for the first
- workstation. For each additional MS OS/2 workstation, plan on using an
- additional 5.5 megabytes, plus space for a work directory.
-
- ■ If you are booting both MS-DOS and MS OS/2 workstations, you'll need
- 35 megabytes of disk space for the first workstation. For additional
- workstations, plan on space for a work directory for each workstation,
- plus 5.5 megabytes for each MS OS/2 workstation.
-
-
-
- How the Remoteboot Service Works
-
- The Setup program can configure the server to boot MS-DOS version 4.01, MS
- OS/2 version 1.2, or both. The boot process can be changed to boot MS-DOS
- versions 3.20, 3.30, and 3.31. For information about how to do this, see the
- Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-

- The Remoteboot service does not support MS-DOS version 3.11 and IBM DOS
- version 4.00.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The Remoteboot service uses different programs to boot the two operating
- systems.
-
- For MS-DOS, the administrator must create a boot image file. This file acts
- as a boot disk for workstations. All MS-DOS workstations that boot from the
- same image file boot the same configuration. Users cannot change the
- workstation's configuration. An administrator can create different boot
- image files for different configurations.
-
- For MS OS/2, the administrator creates a configuration for each workstation.
- Optionally, the administrator can allow users to modify the workstations'
- configurations.
-
- When the Remoteboot service is installed, the Setup program copies a RPL
- directory to the server. The RPL directory, shown in Figure C.1, contains
- all software that the Remoteboot service uses to boot workstations remotely.
- (Figure C.1 shows subdirectories installed by Setup as well as
- subdirectories you create in configuring the Remoteboot service.)
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- The DOS, LANMAN.DOS, and DOSxxx directories are for MS-DOS. The FITS,
- MACHINES, LANMAN, and OS2 directories are for MS OS/2. The COMPUTRX
- directories represent configuration directories for users of MS OS/2
- workstations that were booted remotely. The RPL directory is assumed to be
- relative to the LANMAN directory.
-
- Administrators create a RPLUSER directory, shown in Figure C.2, to contain
- work directories for workstations that boot remotely. The work directories
- give users work space for creating, changing, and deleting files and
- directories. The RPLUSER directory is assumed to be relative to the LANMAN
- directory.
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- A LAN Manager profile, RPL.PRO, shares the RPL directory tree as RPLFILES
- and the RPLUSER directory tree as WRKFILES. For booting MS-DOS workstations,
- RPL.PRO also shares the LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory as IMAGES.
-
-
- Preparing a Server
-
- This section describes how to prepare a server to run the Remoteboot
- service. If you want more than one server running the Remoteboot service to
- distribute the load of supporting workstations, install the first server,
- then see the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
- Preparing the server involves
-
-
- ■ Installing LAN Manager on the server, choosing Setup options related
- to the Remoteboot service
-
- ■ Editing the server's CONFIG.SYS file
-
- ■ Installing files as needed in the server's operating system
- directories (C:\ and C:\OS2)
-
- ■ Setting up the LANMAN\RPL and LANMAN\RPLUSER directories
-
- ■ Creating a MS-DOS boot image file (if the server is to boot MS-DOS)
-
- ■ Assigning permissions for remoteboot resources
-
- ■ Creating records in the RPL.MAP file
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- The LANMAN directory in the following procedures may have another pathname
- on the server; the parameter is set during installation. The default is
- C:\LANMAN.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
-
-
- If you are installing the Remoteboot service for MS-DOS workstations, you
- will need a floppy disk containing MS-DOS system files. (Use the MS-DOS
- format /s command to create the disk.)
-
-
- Installing LAN Manager with Remoteboot Options
-
- The Setup program offers several options related to the Remoteboot service.
- The following procedure assumes that the server is already installed, but
- you can specify these same options during installation.
-
- To select Remoteboot options with the Setup program:
-
-
- 1. Start the Setup program as described in Chapter 1, "Overview."
-
- 2. From the Actions menu, choose View/modify.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The first of a series of dialog boxes appears, containing parameters
- that you set during installation. You don't need to make any changes
- to this dialog box.
-
- 3. Choose <OK>.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- The "Network configuration" list box lists the computer's network
- adapter cards, including at least one Token-Ring card.
-
- 4. In the "Network configuration" list box, select a Token-Ring network
- adapter card.
-
- 5. In the "Protocols" list box, select the Remoteboot protocol.
-
- 6. Choose <OK>.
-
- If full help is selected, a help screen appears. After reading the
- help screen, choose <OK>.
-
- The following dialog box appears:
-
- (This figure may be found in the printed book).
-
- 7. In the "Services to autostart" list box, select "Remoteboot."
-
- 8. Choose <Done>.
-
- 9. To record the changes you've made, from the Actions menu, choose Save.
-
- 10. From the Exit menu, choose Exit.
-
-
-
- Editing the CONFIG.SYS File
-
- To use the Remoteboot service, you must adjust the server's CONFIG.SYS file.
-
-
- Make the following changes to the CONFIG.SYS file:
-
-
- 1. Add the following line, anywhere in the file:
-
- set tmp=c:\tmp
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- Be sure the TMP directory exists on drive C. If not, create
-
-
- 2. In the libpath line, add lanman\drivers\protocol\rpl at the beginning
- of the path.
-
- 3. If there is a device=c:\os2\com0x.sys line anywhere in the file (where
- x is any character), move it to the line before the
- device=lanman\netprog\rdrhelp.sys line.
-
-
-
- Installing Operating System Files
-
- You must install some operating system files if the server uses Micro
- Channel architecture (MCA) and it supports non-MCA workstations with MS
- OS/2, or if the server is a non-MCA computer and it supports MCA
- workstations with MS OS/2.
-
- If the server and workstations are all of the same architecture type or if
- the server supports only MS-DOS workstations, go to the following section.
-
- To support workstations of a different architecture:
-
-
- 1. Copy the following files from the MS OS/2 installation disks to the
- C:\ directory:
-
- ■ ABIOS.SYS
-
- ■ F*.BIO
-
- ■ BASEDD01.SYS
-
- ■ BASEDD02.SYS
-
-
- 2. Copy the following files from the MS OS/2 installation disks to the
- C:\OS2 directory:
-
- ■ COM01.SYS
-
- ■ COM02.SYS
-
-
-
-
- Setting Up the LANMAN\RPL and LANMAN\RPLUSER Directories
-
- The LANMAN\RPL directory contains files for operating the Remoteboot service
- and operating system files for remoteboot users. An associated directory,
- LANMAN\RPLUSER, contains working directories for each remoteboot user. The
- Setup program installs many of the necessary files; you need to install the
- rest with the following procedures.
-
- There are two procedures: one to support MS OS/2 workstations and one to
- support MS-DOS workstations. If the server supports both MS OS/2 and MS-DOS
- workstations, complete both procedures.
-
- In the following procedures, you will copy large directory trees. The
- procedures show you how to do this using the MS OS/2 xcopy command. You can
- use another directory copying utility if you prefer.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- The Remoteboot service, by default, supports MS-DOS version 4.01
- workstations. The Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide explains how
- to adapt the Remoteboot service to support MS-DOS 3.20 and 3.3x versions.
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- Setting Up for MS OS/2 Workstations
-
- To set up the LANMAN\RPL and LANMAN\RPLUSER directories for MS OS/2
- workstations:
-
-
- 1. Use xcopy to copy the C:\OS2 directory to LANMAN\RPL\OS2.
-
- The file SWAPPER.DAT may not copy successfully. This is okay.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI did not copy to LANMAN\RPL\OS2, use the
- Presentation Manager Shutdown command to stop the operating system and
- reboot your computer from a floppy disk. Then copy these two files from
- C:\OS2 to
- C:\LANMAN\RPL\OS2.───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- 2. Copy the following files from C:\ to LANMAN\RPL\OS2:
-
- ■ AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- ■ ABIOS.SYS
-
- ■ F*.BIO (if this file exists)
-
- ■ BASEDD*.SYS (if this file exists)
-
- ■ KBD01.SYS (if this file exists)
-
-
- 3. Copy the following hidden files from C:\ to LANMAN\RPL\OS2:
-
- ■ OS2LDR
-
- ■ OS2KRNL
-
- Use the MS OS/2 File Manager to display, then copy, these files.
-
-
- 4. Copy the following files from LANMAN\NETPROG to LANMAN\RPL\OS2:
-
- ■ DISK01.SYS
-
- ■ DISK02.SYS
-
-
- 5. Create the directory LANMAN\RPL\OS2.
-
- 6. Copy the following files from the MS OS/2 installation disks to
- LANMAN\RPL\OS2:
-
- ■ BVHCGA.DLL
-
- ■ BVHEGA.DLL
-
- ■ BVHVGA.DLL
-
- ■ IBMCGA.DLL
-
- ■ IBMEGA.DLL
-
- ■ IBMVGA.DLL
-
- If the files are in packed format on the MS OS/2 installation
- disks (the filename ends in @), use the MS OS/2 unpack utility
- after copying them. To unpack the files, type the following for
- each file:
-
- unpack filename
-
-
- 7. Copy the following files from LANMAN\RPL\OS2 to
- LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT\OS2:
-
- ■ OS2.INI
-
- ■ OS2SYS.INI
-
-
- 8. A default CONFIG.SYS file for the workstations exists in
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\DEFAULT. Edit this file as needed for the
- workstations. For example, be sure that all necessary device drivers
- are loaded.
-
- 9. Edit the LANMAN\RPL\FITS\DEFAULT.FIT file to change all occurrences of
- RPLSERVR to the server's computername.
-
- 10. Create a LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN directory.
-
- 11. Stop the Workstation service.
-
- 12. Copy the entire LANMAN directory (including LANMAN.INI) to
- LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN, with the exception of the RPL and RPLUSER
- subdirectories.
-
- To avoid copy problems, do not use a single xcopy command (or
- equivalent); copy each LANMAN subdirectory individually.
-
- Or, if you have sufficient disk space, use xcopy to copy the entire
- LANMAN directory to a temporary directory. Delete the RPL and RPLUSER
- directories and their contents. Next, use xcopy to move the contents of
- the temporary directory to LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN. Then delete the temporary
- directory and its contents.
-
- 13. If any remoteboot workstation will run the Peer service, copy the
- LANMAN\ACCOUNTS subdirectory to
- LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS.
-
- 14. If any remoteboot workstation will run the Replicator service, copy
- the LANMAN\REPL subdirectory to LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT\LANMAN\REPL.
- You may want to remove the LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT\LANMAN\REPL\EXPORT
- subdirectory.
-
-
-
- Setting Up for MS-DOS Workstations
-
- To set up the LANMAN\RPL directory for MS-DOS workstations:
-
-
- 1. Create LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN.DOS and LANMAN\RPL\DOS401 directories.
-
- 2. Use xcopy to copy the LAN Manager for MS-DOS installation disks to
- LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN.DOS.
-
- 3. Edit the LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN.DOS\LANMAN.INI file, typing the server's
- domain name for the domain entry (in the [workstation] section).
-
- 4. Use xcopy to copy the files from the MS-DOS 4.01 installation disks to
- the LANMAN\RPL\DOS401 directory.
-
-
-
- Creating an MS-DOS Boot Image File
-
- For servers that boot MS-DOS 4.01 workstations, you must create a boot image
- file. The remoteboot server can be configured to boot other versions of
- MS-DOS (see the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide).
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- Any time that you change the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, or LANMAN.INI files
- in LANMAN\RPL\DOS, you must run the makeimg utility to build a new image
- file.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- To create a boot image file for MS-DOS 4.01 on a server:
-
-
- 1. Change directories to the LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory.
-
- 2. Put a blank, system-formatted disk for MS-DOS version 4.01 in the
- server's A drive.
-
- (Use the MS-DOS format /s command to create this. Do not format the
- disk on a computer running MS OS/2.)
-
- 3. Use the LAN Manager makeimg utility to create the boot image file
- DOS401.IMG in the LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory by typing (from that
- directory)
-
- makeimg dos401
-
- The software assumes drive A; the image file is given the extension
- .IMG.
-
-
-
- Sharing Remoteboot Resources
-
- Remoteboot workstations need access to three resources on the server. These
- resources are automatically shared when you load the RPL.PRO profile:
-
-
- ■ The LANMAN\RPL directory (shared as RPLFILES)
-
- ■ The LANMAN\RPLUSER directory (shared as WRKFILES)
-
- ■ The LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory (shared as IMAGES)
-
-
- To use the Remoteboot service, workstations must be able to connect to the
- RPLFILES shared resource. MS-DOS workstations must have access to the IMAGES
- shared resource. After a workstation boots, users must be able to connect to
- the WRKFILES shared resource to access their work directories.
-
-
- The RPL.PRO Profile
-
- RPL.PRO, a profile located in LANMAN\PROFILES, automatically sets
- share-level permissions for, and shares, resources needed to remoteboot
- workstations. If the server has user-level security, you must set resource
- permissions separately. (The next section explains how to do this.)
-
- RPL.PRO contains these lines:
-
- net share rplfiles=c:\lanman\rpl /remark:"" /permissions:"rx" /unlimited
-
- net share wrkfiles=c:\lanman\rpluser /remark:"" /permissions:"rwcxda"
- /unlimited
-
- net share images=c:\lanman\rpl\dos /remark:"" /permissions:"rx" /unlimited
-
- Use a text editor to add a remark about each resource.
-
- To share the remoteboot resources, type
-
- net load rpl
-
- If the server has user-level security, assign permissions as described in
- the next section.
-
-
- User-Level Permissions
-
- On a server with user-level security, the simplest way to provide access to
- remoteboot resources is through a group.
-
- To grant permissions for remoteboot resources on a server with user-level
- security:
-
-
- 1. Be sure the server is started and that you are logged on with admin
- privilege.
-
- 2. Change the minimum password length to zero by typing
-
- net accounts /minpwlen:0
-
- A new remoteboot workstation has no password.
-
- 3. Create the group rpl by typing
-
- net group rpl /add
-
- 4. Create a user account called default, and add it to the rpl group by
- typing
-
- net user default /add /passwordreq:no /workstations:default
-
- net group rpl default /add
-
- This is a default account for booting the workstation. The net user
- options specify that no password is required and that the user account
- can only be used at a workstation named \\DEFAULT.
-
- 5. Assign the default account RWCDXA (Read, Write, Create, Delete,
- Execute, and Change Attribute) permissions for the
- LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT directory by typing
-
- net access c:\lanman\rpluser\default /add default:RWCDXA
-
- If the LANMAN directory is somewhere other than C:\LANMAN, type the
- correct pathname.
-
- Repeat this step for each subdirectory of LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT, or
- use the <Permit> and <Permit tree> commands in the administrator's LAN
- Manager Screen to establish inherited permissions (see the Microsoft
- LAN Manager Administrator's Guide).
-
- 6. Assign the default account RX (Read and Execute) permissions for the
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\DEFAULT directory, and specify that the
- permissions are to be inherited.
-
- 7. To support MS OS/2 workstations, assign the rpl group RX permissions
- for the OS2 and LANMAN subdirectories of the RPL directory, and
- specify that these permissions are to be inherited.
-
- 8. To support MS-DOS workstations, assign the rpl group RX permissions
- for the DOS, LANMAN.DOS, and DOS401 subdirectories of the RPL
- directory, and specify that these permissions are to be inherited.
-
-
-
- Viewing Records in the RPL.MAP File
-
- The RPL.MAP file coordinates the operation of the Remoteboot service on the
- server. Every server running the Remoteboot service must have a RPL.MAP file
- in the LANMAN\RPL directory. The RPL.MAP file consists of server records and
- workstation records.
-
- Server records contain information about the operating systems that the
- server provides. Workstation records contain information about the
- workstations to be booted remotely. Each server and workstation record
- contains 14 fields separated by spaces. Spaces within fields and blank
- fields are represented by a tilde (~).
-
-
- Server Records
-
- The Setup program copies the RPL.MAP file to the server with two server
- records: one for MS OS/2 version 1.2 and one for MS-DOS version 4.01 (the
- default operating system for the Remoteboot service).
-
- Figure C.3 shows the default server records for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
-
- yyyyyyyyyyyy dosbb.cnf 3 6 N IMAGES DOS~WITH~NETBEUI ~ ~ ,,, ~ R_DOS ~ ~
- yyyyyyyyyyyy os2bb.cnf 3 6 N ~ OS2~WITH~NETBEUI ~ ~ ,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
-
- Figure C.3 RPL.MAP default server records for MS-DOS and MS OS/2
-
- The fields in a server record have the following meanings:
-
- ╓┌─────────────────────────────────┌─────────────────────────────────────────
- Field Contents
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- 1 Should contain 12 Ys. If this field

- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- 1 Should contain 12 Ys. If this field
- contains 12 Xs, see the PCLP User's Guide,
- available from IBM Corporation, for
- information about the correct values for
- the record's other fields.
-
- 2 Specifies the pathname for the boot block
- configuration file. This file contains
- information about network device drivers,
- the boot block processor, and the loader
- that accesses the boot image file for
- MS-DOS workstations. The pathname is
- relative to the LANMAN\RPL directory.
-
- 3 Tells how many boot requests from a
- workstation with no record in the RPL.MAP
- file will trigger a boot using a copy of
- the default workstation record.
- (Workstations with records boot on the

- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- (Workstations with records boot on the
- first request.) To trigger a default boot,
- the requests must arrive within the
- interval specified by field 4. The range
- is 0-1000; the default is 3 requests.
-
- 4 Tells the interval (in seconds) during
- which the boot requests specified by field
- 3 must be received before the default boot
- configuration is used. The range is
- 0-1000; the default is 6 seconds.
-
- For example, if field 3 is 5 and field 4
- is 200, then workstations without records
- boot from the default record after their
- fifth boot request within any 200-second
- period.
-
- 5 Specifies whether the server waits for a
- Field Contents
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- 5 Specifies whether the server waits for a
- SEND.FILE.REQUEST frame. The values are N
- and A; the default is N.
-
- If this field has the value N, the server
- sends the boot block frames one after
- another without waiting for the
- SEND.FILE.REQUEST frames. Using N
- decreases traffic on the network and
- speeds up the boot process. If this field
- has the value A, the remote workstation
- must transmit a SEND.FILE.REQUEST frame to
- receive each frame of the boot block from
- the server.
-
- 6 For MS-DOS records, this field tells the
- sharename of the MS-DOS boot image file
- (the default is IMAGES). For MS OS/2

- Workstation Records
-
- The Setup program copies the RPL.MAP file to the remoteboot server with two
- workstation records: one for MS OS/2 and one for MS-DOS. Because they have
- the same name (DEFAULT), only one can be enabled at a given time. By
- default, the MS OS/2 record is disabled and the MS-DOS record is enabled.
- These originals can be copied to make unique boot records for each remote
- workstation.
-
- Figure C.4 shows the default workstation records for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
-

- Using a Remoteboot Workstation
-
- When a user starts a remoteboot workstation, what appears as the
- workstation's C drive is actually the workstation's work directory in the
- LANMAN\RPLUSER directory. If the remoteboot workstation has a hard disk,
- this disk appears as drive D. Floppy disk drives keep their original drive
- names.
-
- When MS-DOS users type dir, they see only files or directories that they
- created. MS OS/2 users also see the C:\OS2 and C:\LANMAN directories.
-
-
- Starting the Remoteboot Service
-
- The Remoteboot service must be running for the server to boot workstations
- remotely and to configure special server and workstation files. If the
- Alerter service is running, the Remoteboot service uses it to notify
- administrators of boot problems. To start these services automatically when
- the Server service starts, use the Setup program, or add remoteboot and
- alerter to the srvservices list in the [server] section of the LANMAN.INI
- file. For more information about LANMAN.INI entries, see the Microsoft LAN
- Manager Administrator's Reference.
-
- To configure the remoteboot server:
-
-
- 1. Edit the LANMAN.INI file's [remoteboot] section:
-
- ■ For the rpldir entry, specify the path to the directory containing
- the remoteboot software. The default is the LANMAN\RPL directory.
-
- ■ For the maxthreads entry, specify the maximum number of
- workstations that the server will boot simultaneously. The server
- can boot any number of workstations remotely.
-
- ■ For the rplx entry, specify the dynamic link libraries that the
- server's network adapter card uses. The first network adapter card
- has a rpl1 entry, the second a rpl2 entry, and so on.
-
-
- 2. If the server will boot MS OS/2 workstations, edit the LANMAN.INI
- file's [server] section:
-
- ■ Increase the value of the maxopens entry, adding 50 for each MS
- OS/2 workstation supported.
-
- ■ Increase the value of the maxconnections entry to twice the value
- of maxopens.
-
- ■ Set the value for maxlocks to the value set for maxopens.
-
- ■ Increase the value of the maxsessopens entry to at least 100.
-
-
- 3. Stop and restart both the Server and the Remoteboot services to put
- the changes into effect.
-
-
- The server is now set up to boot one remote workstation. When you turn the
- power on at that workstation, it will boot using the DEFAULT workstation
- record. At the same time, LAN Manager will add an entry to RPL.MAP listing
- the workstation's adapter ID. The following section explains how to modify
- RPL.MAP and create a work directory for the first workstation.
-
-
- Preparing a Workstation
-
- This section describes how to prepare the first workstation to use the
- Remoteboot service. If you want to add more remoteboot workstations, see the
- Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
- Preparing a workstation for remoteboot involves the following procedures:
-
-
- ■ Creating remoteboot directories
-
- ■ Adjusting user-level security
-
- ■ Adding a workstation record in the RPL.MAP file
-
- ■ Adding a .FIT file for the workstation
-
- ■ Modifying configuration files for an MS OS/2 workstation

- ■ Enabling the remoteboot process on a workstation with a hard disk
-
-
-
- Creating Remoteboot Directories
-
- To create remoteboot directories for the new workstation:
-
-
- 1. Choose a computername for the workstation; the computername can have
- as many as eight characters.
-
- 2. Create a workstation directory in the server's LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES
- directory.
-
- Name the directory LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername, where
- computername is the workstation's name. For example, for the computer
- RM150, you could create the logon directory LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\RM150.
-
- 3. Copy the LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\DEFAULT directory to
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername.
-
- The DEFAULT directory contains a CONFIG.SYS and STARTUP.CMD file and a
- LANMAN subdirectory with a LANMAN.INI file.
-
- 4. Create a work directory for the workstation in the server's
- LANMAN\RPLUSER directory.
-
- Name the directory LANMAN\RPLUSER\computername, where computername is
- the workstation's name. Or, create a subdirectory in the workstation's
- work directory for each user. For example, for the computer RM150, you
- could create the work directory LANMAN\RPLUSER\RM150, and then within
- it create a subdirectory for each user.
-
- 5. For an MS OS/2 workstation, copy all of the files in the
- LANMAN\RPLUSER\DEFAULT subdirectory to LANMAN\RPLUSER\computername.
-
- Or, if you set up the account under the user's name, copy the
- directory to LANMAN\RPLUSER\computername\username.
-
-
-
- Adjusting User-Level Security
-
- On a server with user-level security, you must create user accounts and
- assign permissions to allow access for remoteboot workstation users.
-
- If the server has user-level security:
-
-
- 1. Create a user account with the workstation's computername, adding the
- account name to the rpl group.
-
- Do not assign a password to this account. This account is used by the
- server to establish the identity of the workstation at boot time.
-
- 2. Create a user account for each person who will use the workstation.
-
- Use account names different from the computername. If you want to
- restrict this user to work only at this workstation, specify the
- computername of the workstation in the "Valid workstations" field (the
- net user /workstation option).
-
- 3. Assign the computer's account RWCDXA permissions for the work
- directory that the person will use. Specify that these permissions are
- to be inherited (using <Permit> and <Permit tree> in the LAN Manager
- Screen for administrators).
-
- 4. Assign the computer's account RX permissions for the
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername directory and specify that these
- permissions are to be inherited.
-
-
-
- Adding a Workstation Record
-
- When a remote workstation sends out a boot request over the network, a
- server checks whether its LANMAN\RPL\RPL.MAP file contains a workstation
- record for the workstation. If no record is found, the server waits until
- the number of requests specified in field 3 of the server record is received
- from the workstation. If this number is reached within the time specified in
- field 4 of the server record, the server boots the workstation using a copy
- of the enabled default workstation record.
-
- To add a new workstation record to a server's RPL.MAP file:
-
-
- 1. To make a backup copy of the RPL.MAP file, type
-
- copy rpl.map rpl.old
-
- 2. On the server, edit the RPL.MAP file's default workstation record,
- typing the server's computername in field 5.
-
- 3. RPL.MAP is initially adjusted to boot workstations with MS-DOS. To
- boot the workstation with MS OS/2:
-
- ■ Edit the default MS-DOS workstation record, replacing the R that
- begins field 12 with D. This disables the MS-DOS record.
-
- ■ Edit the default MS OS/2 workstation record, replacing the D that
- begins field 12 with R. This enables the MS OS/2 record.
-
-
- 4. Start the server's Server and Remoteboot services.
-
- 5. Start the remote workstation, and allow time for the server to respond
- to the workstation's boot request.
-
-
-
- Enabling Workstation Records
-
- When booting a workstation remotely for the first time, the server
- automatically creates a copy of the default workstation record in the
- RPL.MAP file and copies the workstation's adapter ID into field 1 of the new
- workstation record. Figure C.5 shows the RPL.MAP file as it appears when a
- new workstation record is added to the end of it.
-
- ???????????? DEFAULT ~ DOS401 RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~,,, Z R_DOS ~ ~
- ???????????? DEFAULT ~ FITS\DEFAULT RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
- .
- .
- .
- 10005A25DDF8 DEFAULT ~ DOS401 RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~,,, Z D_DOS ~ ~
-
- Figure C.5 A new workstation record in RPL.MAP
-
- The new record is automatically appended to the end of the RPL.MAP file. To
- boot the workstation using the new record, you must enable the record.
- Otherwise, the workstation will continue to use the default workstation
- record each time it boots.
-
- To enable a new workstation record:
-
-
- 1. Edit the new workstation record in the RPL.MAP file, making the
- following changes:
-
- ■ Type the workstation's computername in field 2.
-
- ■ Replace the D that begins field 12 with R.
-
-
- 2. If the workstation was booted using MS OS/2, change field 4 of the
- record to the pathname of the workstation's .FIT file
- (FITS\computername).
-
- 3. To put the RPL.MAP file changes into effect, reboot the workstation.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- If the workstation has a hard drive, you must use the rplenabl utility to
- prepare the workstation for using the Remoteboot service. For information
- about rplenabl, see the "Enabling the Remoteboot Process on a Workstation's
- Hard Disk" section, later in this appendix.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
-
-
-
- Adding a .FIT File for the Workstation
-
- Each workstation uses a file index table (.FIT file) to translate pathnames
- of certain files to the actual locations of the files on the server running
- the Remoteboot service. For example, if the user types c:\config.sys, the
- server running the Remoteboot service translates this to
- LANMAN\MACHINES\computername\CONFIG.SYS.
-
- To prepare a .FIT file for the first remoteboot workstation:
-
-
- 1. Change directories to the LANMAN\RPL\FITS directory.
-
- 2. Edit DEFAULT.FIT, changing all occurrences of RPLSERVR to the boot
- server's computername.
-
- 3. Copy DEFAULT.FIT to computername.FIT.
-
- 4. In the new computername.FIT file, change all instances of DEFAULT to
- the new workstation's computername.
-
-
-
- Adjusting Configuration Files for an MS OS/2 Workstation
-
- Each MS OS/2 remoteboot workstation has its own CONFIG.SYS, STARTUP.CMD,
- OS2INIT.CMD, and LANMAN.INI files, but uses a central copy of the MS OS/2
- and LAN Manager software. (MS-DOS remoteboot workstations use a central copy
- of the MS-DOS and LAN Manager initialization files.) You need to modify the
- workstation's own configuration files to suit that workstation. (For
- example, be sure to type the name of the server's domain for the domain
- entry in the workstation's LANMAN.INI file.)
-
- This section describes other adjustments you may need to make to the
- CONFIG.SYS and computer.FIT files.
-
-
- Video Display Device Drivers
-
- By default, the remoteboot workstation is configured to use the same type of
- video display as the one used by the server. If the workstation and server
- have different video display types, modify the CONFIG.SYS and computer.FIT
- files for the workstation.
-
- To configure the workstation for a video display that is different than the
- server's:
-
-
- 1. Modify CONFIG.SYS:
-
- ■ If the workstation has an EGA display monitor, find the three
- lines preceded by
-
- REM for VGA, use these
-
- Insert the word REM at the beginning of each of these three lines
- to comment out the lines.
-
- Find the three lines preceded by
-
- REM for EGA, use these
-
- Remove REM from the beginning of each of these three lines to
- enable the EGA configuration.
-
- ■ If the workstation has a CGA display monitor, find the three lines
- preceded by
-
- REM for VGA, use these
-
- Insert the word REM at the beginning of each of these three lines
- to comment out the lines.
-
- Add the following lines:
-
- devinfo=scr,cga,c:\os2\viotbl.dcp set video_devices=vio_ibmcga set
- vio_ibmcga=device(bvhcga)
-
- ■ Add configuration lines for any drivers the workstation requires
- that are not provided in the default CONFIG.SYS. Copy the drivers
- into the LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername directory.
-
-
- 2. In the new computername.FIT file, you may need to add a display device
- driver for the workstation. If the workstation uses the same type of
- display monitor as the server, don't change anything. If the
- workstation uses a different display monitor, type the following line
- in the computername.FIT file:
-
- c:\os2\dll\display.dll os2\dll\xxxxxx.dll
-
- where xxxxxx is the appropriate display driver for the workstation.
- The display driver is one of the following:
-
- ■ IBMCGA
-
- ■ IBMEGA
-
- ■ IBMVGA
-
- NOTE If you want to allow users to edit their configuration
- files, copy the contents of LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\DEFAULT into the
- workstation's work directory instead of
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername. Then change all MACHINES
- subdirectory references in the workstation's .FIT file to
- \\servername\WRKFILES.
-
-
-
- Memory Swapping
-
- If the remote workstation has memory swapping enabled, the path for the swap
- file (the swappath entry) in LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername\CONFIG.SYS
- should be set to use the workstation's hard disk (if it has one). This
- ensures that the swapper information is available to MS OS/2 should the
- server go down, and the user will not lose the use of the workstation.
-
- If the remote workstation is diskless, the server can be used for the
- swappath; however, if the server goes down, the user will have to wait for
- it to come back up before using the workstation. If this is a concern, turn
- swapping off for diskless MS OS/2 workstations.
-
- To use a remoteboot workstation's local hard disk for memory swapping:
-
-
- 1. On the server, change directories to the
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername directory.
-
- 2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file, setting the parameters as follows (pathname
- is the path of the swap directory):
-
- swappath=d:\pathname memman=swap,move,swapdos
-
-
- To use the server for swapping:
-
-
- 1. On the server, change directories to the
- LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername directory.
-
- 2. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file, setting the parameters as follows:
-
- swappath=c:\os2\system memman=swap,move,swapdos
-
-
- To turn swapping off for either case, change the CONFIG.SYS file as follows:
-
-
- memman=noswap,move
-
-
- Other CONFIG.SYS Options
-
- To increase performance, change the libpath line to the following:
-
- libpath=c:\os2\dll;c:\lanman\netlib;c:\;
-
- If the workstation does not have a hard drive or if its hard drive does not
- have any HPFS partitions, comment out the following line by adding REM to
- the beginning of the line:
-
- ifs=c:\os2\hpfs.ifs -c:64
-
- If the workstation will not use the DOS session, set the protectonly line to
- read protectonly=yes and comment out the following lines:
-
- device=c:\os2\dos.sys device=c:\os2\ega.sys
-
-
- Enabling the Remoteboot Process on a Workstation's Hard Disk
-
- Before a workstation with a hard disk can be booted remotely, its hard disk
- must be properly configured for the Remoteboot service. This does not
- prevent users from accessing the hard disk after the workstation is booted.
-
-
- Use the LAN Manager rplenabl utility to prepare the workstation to use the
- Remoteboot service. Later, if you want to boot the workstation using its
- hard disk, run the rpldsabl utility to disable the Remoteboot configuration.
-
- To configure a workstation's hard disk for the remoteboot process:
-
-
- 1. Create a LAN Manager utility disk:
-
- ■ Format an MS-DOS floppy disk.
-
- ■ Copy the files RPLENABL.EXE and RPLDSABL.EXE from the
- LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory to the disk.
-
-
- 2. Boot MS-DOS on the workstation.
-
- 3. Put the LAN Manager utility disk in drive A and type
-
- rplenabl
-
- 4. Remove the disk, and press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
-
- The Remote Program Load Module information is displayed as the RPL ROM
- chip initializes the network adapter card.
-
-
-
- Disabling the Remoteboot Process on a Workstation's Hard Disk
-
- If you no longer want to boot a workstation remotely and it contains a
- bootable hard disk, run the rpldsabl utility to disable the Remoteboot
- service configuration and let the workstation boot using its hard disk.
-
- To disable the Remoteboot configuration:
-
-
- 1. Boot MS-DOS on the workstation.
-
- 2. Put the LAN Manager utility disk containing the rpldsabl utility in
- drive A and type
-
- rpldsabl
-
- 3. Remove the disk, and press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
-
- The workstation will now boot from its hard disk.
-
-
-
- Troubleshooting the Remoteboot Service
-
- Two common problems with using the Remoteboot service are that the service
- does not start, or that workstations do not boot or have problems booting.
-
- If the Remoteboot service does not start, make these checks:
-
-
- ■ Check for typographical errors in the server and workstation records
- in the RPL.MAP file. If an error in the RPL.MAP file prevents the
- service from starting, normally you will receive an alert message (be
- sure the Alerter service is running).
-
- ■ Check the server's error log, which can provide useful diagnostic
- information.
-
-
- If a workstation won't boot remotely or you're having problems with the way
- the workstation is booting, check the following requirements:
-
-
- ■ Be sure that a workstation record exists in the RPL.MAP file for each
- remote workstation and that the record is enabled (unless you are
- using the default workstation record).
-
- ■ The server must have a computername.FIT file for each MS OS/2
- workstation that is to boot remotely. Check the LANMAN\RPL\FITS
- directory.
-
- ■ The boot image file, DOS401.IMG, must exist to successfully boot
- MS-DOS version 4.01 on workstations. Check the LANMAN\RPL\DOS
- directory.
-
- ■ Be sure you loaded the RPL.PRO profile. This shares the RPLFILES,
- WRKFILES, and IMAGES resources.
-
- Also be sure these resources have correct permissions assigned for
- them. RPLFILES (LANMAN\RPL directory) must have RX permissions
- assigned. WRKFILES (LANMAN\RPLUSER directory) must have RWCDXA
- permissions. IMAGES (LANMAN\RPL\DOS directory), used for MS-DOS
- workstations, must have RX permissions.
-
- ■ The domain entry in the workstation's LANMAN.INI file must match that
- of the server's domain entry listing. For MS OS/2 workstations, check
- the LANMAN\RPL\MACHINES\computername\LANMAN\LANMAN.INI file. For
- MS-DOS workstations, check the LANMAN\RPL\DOS\LANMAN.INI file.
-
- ■ The work directory (LANMAN\RPLUSER\computername) must exist for each
- remote workstation.
-
- ■ On servers with user-level security, each workstation's computername
- account must have no password and must be in the rpl group.
-
- ■ Each workstation must have a RPL ROM chip installed on or built into
- its network adapter card.
-
- ■ If a workstation has a hard disk, the hard disk must be prepared for
- the remoteboot process (using the rplenabl utility). Otherwise, the
- workstation will not boot remotely.
-
- ■ Be sure you have the correct video display device drivers installed
- for the workstation. (By default, the workstation is set up to use the
- same type of video display as the server.) If you try to remoteboot a
- VGA workstation with an EGA device driver, or vice versa, the screen
- will remain blank and the workstation will probably beep two or three
- times. If this happens, check both the CONFIG.SYS and computername.FIT
- files to see which device drivers are installed.

- Appendix D Setting Up an Uninterruptible Power Supply
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a battery connected to a computer
- that keeps the computer running during a power failure. LAN Manager has a
- UPS service, which lets a server and a battery work together to perform an
- orderly shutdown of the server in the event of a power failure. The battery
- keeps the server running until power is restored or until the UPS service
- determines that the battery is running low and the server should be shut
- down.
-
- This appendix describes how to set up a battery on a server. For more
- information about administering the UPS service, see the Microsoft LAN
- Manager Administrator's Guide.
-
-
- Attaching the Battery to a Server
-
- The battery must be attached to one of the server's serial (COM) ports. The
- battery manufacturer should provide a cable that enables the battery to
- correctly communicate with the LAN Manager UPS device driver, UPSDRV.OS2.
- The requirements for this cable are outlined in the rest of this section.
-
- Signals from the battery are sent to the UPS device driver by voltage
- changes on the pins of the UPS cable. Table D.1 shows the pins that the LAN
- Manager UPS device driver expects the battery and cable to use for the
- necessary signals.
-
- Table D.1 COM Port Pins Used for UPS Signals
-
- ╓┌─────────────┌──────────────────────────────────────────┌──────────────────
- UPS Signal Equivalent Cable Signal COM Port Pin Number
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- UPS Signal Equivalent Cable Signal COM Port Pin Number
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Line fail CTS (Clear to Send) 5
-
- Low battery DCD (Carrier Detect) 8
-
- UPS shutdown DTR (Data Terminal Ready) 20
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
-
- You can also use batteries capable of only contact closure signals with the
- UPS service. For these batteries, the TXD (Transmit Data, pin 2) and RTS
- (Request to Send, pin 4) signals are used as voltage sources. TXD is set to
- a permanently low voltage, and RTS is set permanently high.
-
- As you administer a server that uses a battery, be sure that the COM port
- that the battery is attached to is never shared.
-
-
- Installing the UPS Device Driver
-
- LAN Manager provides a UPS device driver, UPSDRV.OS2. This driver works with
- all IBM PCs, PS/2(R) computers, and compatible serial ports. After attaching
- the battery to the server, a device entry must be added to the CONFIG.SYS
- file, installing the UPS device driver. The entry has the following syntax:
-
- device=c:\lanman\drivers\upsdrv.os2 [/port:comx]
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- NOTE
-
- This assumes that the pathname of the LANMAN directory is C:\LANMAN. The
- LANMAN directory path is set during installation and may have a different
- pathname.
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The entry specifies the pathname of the UPS device driver. The value of the
- /port option specifies the COM port that the battery is attached to. If
- /port is omitted, COM1 is used as the default. For example, the following
- line installs the UPS device driver for a battery that is attached to the
- COM2 port of a server where the pathname for the LANMAN directory is
- C:\LANMAN:
-
- device=c:\lanman\drivers\upsdrv.os2 /port:com2
-
- If you use the Setup program to specify that the UPS service start
- automatically when the Server service starts, the Setup program
- automatically adds this entry to CONFIG.SYS, without the /port option. If
- the battery is attached to a COM port other than COM1, you must use a text
- editor to edit CONFIG.SYS after the Setup program ends, adding /port and
- specifying the COM port the battery is attached to.
-
- If you don't use the Setup program to specify that the UPS service start
- when the Server service starts, then you must use a text editor to add the
- entire entry to CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Although UPSDRV.OS2 is the only device driver necessary for the UPS battery,
- the CONFIG.SYS file may also contain entries installing drivers for other
- COM port devices (such as COM01.SYS, the MS OS/2 COM port driver). When you
- add the entry installing UPSDRV.OS2 to CONFIG.SYS, put it before the entries
- installing other COM port device drivers. The UPSDRV.OS2 entry must also be
- before the entry installing LAN Manager's RDRHELP.SYS file.
-
- Once the entry installing the UPS device driver has been added to CONFIG.SYS
- and specifies the correct COM port, restart the computer.

- Appendix F Booting an HPFS386 Server from a Floppy Disk
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- This appendix explains how to restart (boot) your computer using a floppy
- disk when the boot partition (usually the C drive) has the LAN Manager
- high-performance file system 386 (HPFS386) installed. You may need to do
- this if system files like CONFIG.SYS are damaged or if the file system has
- corrupt data that prevents booting.
-
- However, when you use a floppy disk to start a server with an HPFS386 boot
- partition, you will be able to edit only those files for which no LAN
- Manager permissions are assigned. Because servers with local security need
- permissions assigned for their system files, you will probably not be able
- to edit most system files on these servers. For information about system
- file permissions in local security, see the Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Guide.
-
- To boot from a floppy disk:
-
-
- 1. Put the MS OS/2 1.2 Installation Disk in drive A.
-
- 2. Restart the computer (press CTRL+ALT+DEL).
-
- 3. At the first screen that appears, press ESC when prompted with "Enter
- to continue or Esc to cancel."
-
- The [A:\] prompt appears.
-
- 4. Edit system files as necessary to correct the problem that is
- preventing booting.
-
- 5. Restart the computer.
