===========================================================================
Section 1 Installing Patches on a Native NetWare Server.
Section 2 Installing Patches on a NetWare of OS/2 Server.
Section 3 Installing Patches on a NetWare SFT III Server.
___________________________________________________________________________
Novell has provided an installation script to be used with INSTALL.NLM
"Product Options". However it is still possible to manually copy the
patches to the DOS partition.. C:\NWSERVER
This script file can be run in several ways:
1- From local A: Drive at Server.
2- From local Drive at Client using Rconsole (F4).
3- From local SYS: volume (F3), by specifying the path including
volume name..ie SYS:\411PT1.
4- From a different server on the network (F3) by specifying
full path including server name..ie Server_Name\SYS:\411PT1.
NOTE: Fastest installation in order of performance is:
option 3, option 4, option 2, option 1.
PK411 has the following enhancements:
- "PATCHES" console command has been enhanced.
- Patches are display as two types:
- PK Patches,
Patches embedded in PK411.NLM.
- Discrete Patches,
Patches which are not embedded in PK411.NLM.
- Patches are displayed alphabetically.
- Total number of Patches are at the bottom of the list.

Note for NetFRAME customers:
Because of NetFRAMEs' unique architecture "Product Options" Install
can not copy the patches to the boot drive. Use the following
RCONSOLE method to copy the patches to the boot drive.
1) Unzip the patch file to any directory.
2) Run RCONSOLE and connect to the NetFRAME server that you
want to update.
3) Use ALT-F1 to bring up the RCONSOLE Menu.
4) Select the "Transfer Files To Server" option.
5) For the Source path, enter the complete DOS path,
for example f:\patch\native\start and press enter.
6) For the Destination path, enter C: and press enter.
RCONSOLE should then copy all the files located in the source directory.
After that completes add the following lines to the STARTUP.NCF:
LOAD PK411
Remove all other load statements for PM410.NLM and patches.

Note for AS400 customers:
Because of AS400's unique architecture "Product Options" Install

4) Select the "Transfer Files To Server" option.
5) For the Source path, enter the complete DOS path,
for example f:\patch\native\start and press enter.
6) For the Destination path, enter E: and press enter.
NOTE: Drive E: is a READ-WRITE DRIVE,
Drive F: is a READ-ONLY DRIVE.
RCONSOLE should then copy all the files located in the source directory.
After that completes add the following lines to the STARTUP.NCF:
LOAD PK411
Remove all other load statements for PM410.NLM and patches.
Do not remove the load statements for DIAG410.NLM, HIMOVE.NLM, and

(Copy Files Option, SCREEN)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| NetWare files will be installed from path: |
| |
| NW411:\PRODUCTS\NW411\INSTALL\IBM\DOS\XXX\ENGLISH\ |
| |
| If you are installing from CD-ROM or a network directory, verify |
| that the above path corresponds to the source directory where the |
| NetWare server installation files are located. On CD-ROM, this |
| will be path |
| <drive_or_vo_name>:\PRODUCTS\NW411\INSTALL\IBM\<DOS_OR_OS2>\XXX\<language_dir>. |
| |
| Press <F3> to specify a different path; |
| Press <Enter> to continue. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
Copy the following files from the NetWare CD to C:\NWSERVER:
ADDLANG IPS 400 8-12-96 1:20p
CHGLANG IPS 2051 8-26-96 3:15p
COMDEF ILS 4928 8-25-96 6:30p
COMDRIVR ICS 617 3-16-96 12:31p
COMMAIN ICS 10657 8-27-96 11:05a
COMMAIN ILS 2741 8-25-96 6:44p
COMOTHR ILS 14328 8-24-96 11:29p
CPYCLINT IPS 2273 8-26-96 11:27a
HWDEF ILS 485 8-12-96 1:20p

HWMAIN ICS 534 3-16-96 12:31p
HWMAIN ILS 1243 8-26-96 1:25p
HWOTHR ILS 522 8-12-96 1:20p
INSTCMD1 IZX 12 2-16-94 3:07p
INSTNCF3 IZX 16 3-17-95 3:10p
INSTNCF4 IZX 31 5-03-96 9:10a
MAKEDISK IPS 4237 8-26-96 1:13p
NETMAIN ILS 9852 9-07-96 6:21p
Some of these files are Language specific..
Generally this is a result of manually installing the server rather than
installing though INSTALL.BAT.
___________________________________________________________________________
Issue:
When the Patch kit is installed, SERVER.EXE will be updated with the
current version of LOADER. Some customers have indicated that the
modified version of SERVER.EXE becomes corrupt with the following
message:
LOADER-4.11-19: Error reading load file C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE.
This corruption has been linked to the DIE_HARD VIRUS.
Solution:
1-Scan the DOS Boot drive of the file server, as well as any locations
where the patch kit may have been copied to. Novell has ensured that
the virus has not been encapsulated in the compressed downloadable
patch kit.
2-Rename SERVER.OLD or MSERVER.OLD to SERVER.EXE or MSERVER.EXE.
3-RUN LSWAP.EXE
USAGE: LSWAP [LoaderFilePath [ServerFilePath]]
Default LoaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
Default ServerFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE
4-Run the newly modified SERVER.EXE or MSERVER.EXE if running SFTIII.
