INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
This update is for NetWare 4.11 and 4.2 servers only!
NetWare 4.11 should be patched to Support Pack 9.
**** NOTE **** Always make a backup copy of original files.
******************* Proactive NOTE *************************************
As with all patches, take standard precautionary disaster recovery steps. This
includes loading "LOAD DSREPAIR -RC" at the server console which, on
a Netware 4.11 server, will create a file called SYS:\SYSTEM\DSREPAIR.DIB.
Running a DSREPAIR -RC on a regular basis provides additional disaster recovery
for the database. This will put a copy of the database in the SYS:\SYSTEM
directory by default and this file should be copied to another directory such
as SYS:\SYSTEM\DSR_DIB so it will not be overwritten the next time it is run.
**************************************************************************
1. Log into the network as ADMIN or a user with rights to the SYS:SYSTEM of
the file server. Locate the following files in the SYS:\SYSTEM sub-directory:
DS.NLM
DSREPAIR.NLM
You may or may not find all of the files mentioned above, additionally, one
or more of the files may be flagged Read-Only. Rename these files to *.OLD.
2. Unload all DS dependant NLM's (DSREPAIR.NLM, DSVIEW.NLM, etc.)
Copy the NLM files provided in this update to the SYS:SYSTEM directory
of the NetWare 4.11 OR 4.2 file server.
3. At the file server console of the server being upgraded (or using
RCONSOLE) toggle to the system console screen.
4. At the system console screen enter the command "SET DSTRACE = *." and
press <Enter> to reload the Directory Services (DS.NLM) without downing
the server. You may also issue the following commands at the console:
"UNLOAD DS" and "LOAD DS" .
5. You should then observe that the new DS.NLM is loaded. Should you receive
an "Error -603" when the new SGUID.NLM module loads simply load the new
DSREPAIR.NLM and run Advanced Options | Global Schema Operations |
Post NetWare 5 Schema Update.
You will then need to re-run the "SET DSTRACE=*." command or unload and
re-load DS.NLM. Additional information can be found in the Issue Section of
this update.
This update to Directory Services is recommended when running in a mixed
tree with NetWare 5.x NDS 8 and later servers. It is also recommended
that this update be applied prior to upgrading the server to NetWare 6.x
or greater.
ISSUE:
FIXES INCLUDED IN DS 6.21
(Supercedes DS.NLM 6.19 found in the last 6.x public release file - DS617.EXE)
- NetWare 6.5 reports -609 during install
***************** NOTE ***************
This update provides several enhancements that will allow a NetWare 4.x server
to
coexist in mixed rings while upgrading to the latest versions of NetWare and
eDirectory.
1. Enhanced Auxiliary class support. No longer will objects associated with
auxiliary classes show up as unknown while being viewed from a management
interface such as ConsoleOne when reading the database from a DS 6 based
server. To enable/disable the new auxiliary class support you must type the
following commands at the server console:
SET DSTRACE=AUXSUPPORT ON
SET DSTRACE=AUXSUPPORT OFF
These settings are persistant.
Additional information can be found in TID 10083622
2. This version of DS.NLM also prepares objects for a migration to NetWare
6.x and eDirectory 8.6.2 or higher by giving them a GUID attribute and value.
This attribute is used by NSS volumes for volume trustee right associations.
This attribute is given to object by a new NLM - SGUID.NLM. Additonal steps
may be required to allow for this functionality. (Please reference TID
10083319)
Additional information on installation and how the three included NLM's
perform this function can be found by referencing
TID 10081527
3. This update also addresses problems with DS 6.x synchronizing to 8.6.x or
8.7.x
running on a NT SERVER in a mixed ring with NetWare 4.x. For this
synchronization update to function you must issue a "SET DSTRACE=!ne" command
at the console prompt. This command should also be placed in your autoexec.ncf.
Please note that this switch is only required when eDirectory is running on a
NT
server.
