NetWare 6 Readme 7 8 NetWare 6 Readme 1 General Information This chapter contains general information about the NetWare® 6 release. For information about additional issues discovered after the release, see the Novell® Support Knowlegebase (http://support.novell.com/search/ kb_index.jsp) and enter TID #10064501. NetWare 6 Contents The NetWare 6 package consists of the following: Operating System CD Client CD Novell ClientTM 4.81 for Windows* NT*/2000 Novell Client 3.31 for Windows 95/98 NMAS Client 2.0 NICI Client 1.5.7 for Windows NICI Client 2.0.2 for Windows Novell NetDrive Client 4.0 Novell ConsoleOneTM 1.3 with snap-ins Documentation CD NOTE: We welcome your feedback about the completeness, accuracy, and accessibility of the NetWare 6 documentation. Please send your comments to webdoc@novell.com (mailto:webdoc@novell.com?subject=NetWare%206) with NetWare 6 in the subject line. General Information 9 MP-Enabled Components The following core NetWare 6 components are MP-enabled: Core operating system ODITM (including LSLTM, LAN, TSMTM, MSMTM, HSMTM) TCP/IP NCP/IP Winsock (including NILE and BSD) CLIB BSD calls Novell Storage ServicesTM file system Novell eDirectoryTM, including LDAP Novell JVM for NetWare Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMASTM) Novell Cluster ServicesTM NetWare Enterprise Web Server NetWare Web Search NetWare FTP Server Scripting products (NSN, Perl, and UCS) All other NetWare 6 components included with this release function in an MP environment. Compatibility with Other Novell Products The following Novell products are compatible with NetWare 6: Account Management 2.1 for Windows 2000 DirXMLTM 1.01 GroupWise® 5.5 Enhancement Pack 3 and GroupWise 6 iChain 1.5 and 2.0 Novell BorderManagerTM 3.6 Support Pack 1a Novell Internet Messaging SystemTM (NIMSTM) 2.6 and 3.0 Novell OnDemand ServicesTM 1.0 10 NetWare 6 Readme Novell Portal Services 1.0 Novell Single Sign-on 2.1 If you install Novell Single Sign-on to a NetWare 6 server that is not an SD Key Server and you select No when prompted to make the server an SD Key Server, you may see messages indicating that Novell Single Signon did not successfully install. The messages and entries in the log file (sys:system\sssi.log) falsely indicate that the SD Key Client and Secret Store Service were not installed successfully. Despite these messages, SSS.NLM is correctly installed, the schema is extended, and Novell Single Sign-On should function properly in the tree. Novell ZENworksTM for Desktops 3.0 Support Pack 1 and Novell ZENworks for Desktops 3.2 Novell ZENworks for Servers 2 with the latest Support Pack There are some compatibility issues using NetWare 6 with ZENworks for Servers 2. For an explanation of the issues and their resolution, see the ZENworks for Servers 2 online documentation (http://www.novell.com/ documentation/lg/zfs2/index.html). NetWare 5.1 Products Not Included in NetWare 6 NIAS components that enable NetWare to function as a WAN or RAS (dial-up) gateway If you are upgrading from a previous version of NetWare, your INITSYS files might need to be edited to remove WAN components that are autoloaded. Novell Servlet Gateway This functionality is now provided by the Tomcat servlet engine. IBM* WebSphere* application server This has been replaced by the Tomcat servlet engine. If you are using a previous version of WebSphere on NetWare, you can use the WebSphereto-Tomcat migration utility included with NetWare 6. For instructions on using the utility, see Migrating from WebSphere to Tomcat in Getting Results with Novell Web Services. Collabra News Server and Novell Media Server During an upgrade from a NetWare 5.1 server, these products are removed without warning. General Information 11 Client DOS Utilities Many DOS utilities have been removed from NetWare 6. The following utilities are still included for your convenience, but they are not supported: CAPTURE CX FILER LOGIN LOGOUT MAP NCOPY NDIR NetWare Administrator NLIST NPRINTER RIGHTS International Issues Euro Character. There are several places throughout Netware 6 where the euro character is displayed as its hex value "[20AC]". This happens because the server code page does not support some of the newer extended characters, including the euro. Although the hex value of the euro is displayed in a few locations, the integrity of the object containing the euro character should remain intact. Web Page Encoding Issue. To properly display international text in your Web browser, the proper Code Page must be selected for that language. From the main browser menu, click View > Encoding. Then select the proper Code Page for the language you want to display. If the correct Code Page is not selected, you might see question marks or corrupted text. 12 NetWare 6 Readme 2 Installation and Upgrade This chapter contains the following subsections: "Before the Installation or Upgrade" on page 13 "During the Installation or Upgrade" on page 16 "After the Installation or Upgrade" on page 18 You should also review the other sections of this Readme for additional installation and upgrade issues. For complete instructions on preparing the network and installing or upgrading to NetWare 6, see the NetWare 6 Overview and Installation Guide. IMPORTANT: Upgrades from any Beta version of NetWare 6 to the shipping version of the product are not supported. Before the Installation or Upgrade Upgrading with NetWare Accelerated Upgrade Do not use NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade the first server in the tree to NetWare 6--you must use the NetWare 6 installation program. After you upgrade or install the first NetWare 6 server using the installation program, you can then use NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade other servers in the tree. NetWare Accelerated Upgrade is intended for use by network administrators who are skilled at troubleshooting and installing NetWare networks. Installation and Upgrade 13 Upgrading NetWare 5 Servers with NDS 7 and NSS Volumes A NetWare 5 server with NDS® 7 and NSS volumes is inaccessible after completing the Prepare a Server with NDS 7 and NSS step in NetWare Deployment Manager. For this reason, complete this step just before you upgrade to NetWare 6. Update NetWare 5 Servers Running NMAS before Installing Novell Native File Access Protocols Before installing Novell® Native File Access Protocols (as part of the NetWare 6 installation or otherwise), all NetWare 5 and NetWare 5.1 servers (in the tree) running NMAS must be updated to NMASTM 2.0.1, NICI 2.0.1, and ConsoleOneTM 1.3.2. NMAS 2.0.1, NICI 2.0.1, and ConsoleOne 1.3.2 updates and instructions are available at www.novell.com/downloads. NetWare 4.11 Upgrades NetWare 4.11 requires that Support Pack 8 or later be installed before upgrading. The requirement was accidentally omitted from the Upgrade to NetWare 6 > Meet System and Software Requirements section of the printed NetWare 6 Overview and Installation manual. Mixed NDS Environments and Synchronization -628 Errors If your network includes servers running NetWare 5 with NDS eDirectoryTM 8.5 (Build 85.00), NetWare 5 with NDS eDirectory servers in the same replica ring with NetWare 4 servers, or NetWare 5 with NDS 7 servers, you must update NDS before installing a NetWare 6 server. (You must also complete the Network Preparation tasks in NetWare Deployment Manager.) If you do not update NDS, -628 errors will occur during synchronization. For information on updating NDS to the proper version number, see http:// support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10063534.htm (http:// support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10063534.htm). NDS updates are available on the Novell Support Web site (http:// support.novell.com). Prepare the Schema before Upgrading or Installing Before you install or upgrade to NetWare 6 on an existing network, make sure to complete all relevant steps in the "Network Preparation" section of NetWare 14 NetWare 6 Readme Deployment Manager and specifically complete Step 3: Prepare for NDS eDirectory 8.6. This step identifies and updates a server on the network that holds the Master or Read/Write replica of the Root of the tree. NetWare Deployment Manager (NWDEPLOY.EXE) runs on a Windows workstation and is located on the NetWare Operating System CD. For complete instructions on preparing the network, see the NetWare 6 Overview and Installation Guide. Video Driver for NetWare Deployment Manager on Windows 2000 NetWare Deployment Manager might not run on Windows 2000 computers with the Matrox G400 video driver. To fix the problem, download and install the latest video driver from Matrox (http://www.matrox.com). Using a Compaq ML530 Computer NetWare 6 will not install on the Compaq* ML530 computer unless the ML530 ROM has been flashed (updated) using Compaq's SmartStart 5.1 or later. The ROM flash utility from Compaq's SmartStart 5.0 or earlier is not sufficient. If the ROM is not updated, the NetWare 6 installation might hang while configuring IP addresses. Accelerated Upgrade: Removing Unsupported LAN Drivers To avoid any problems, upgrade your LAN drivers before using NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade your server to NetWare 6. If you did not select the Auto-detect Computer Hardware after Rebooting option, NetWare Accelerated Upgrade will not automatically update any old LAN drivers and you might not be able to connect to your server. To correct this problem, unload or remove any unsupported drivers and then load the corresponding supported NetWare 6 drivers. After the upgrade is finished, modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to reflect any name changes. If you did not upgrade your LAN drivers before upgrading to NetWare 6 and you have old hardware, select the Auto-detect Computer Hardware after Rebooting option. If you do this, NetWare Accelerated Upgrade automatically replaces any old LAN drivers with NetWare 6 LAN drivers. NOTE: Some LAN driver hardware is no longer supported on NetWare 6. Installation and Upgrade 15 During the Installation or Upgrade Copying and Overwriting Existing Files Because all the components of NetWare 6 have been tested as a whole, you should select Overwrite on all files that report a new date conflict during an upgrade. Installing from a Bootable CD If your server supports a bootable CD-ROM and you want to boot to the NetWare Operating System CD, make sure that the machine boot order specifies that the CD boots before the hard drive. This ensures that the CD is available for booting and formatting the hard disk. To boot to the NetWare Operating System CD, the server must have a ROM BIOS that fully supports the El Torito specification. Booting on a machine where the specification is not supported might result in hangs after starting Caldera* DR DOS* or in messages such as "No operating system found." If your computer or storage adapter is not working, contact the vendor for an updated BIOS. If you boot the CD to install NetWare using an existing DOS partition, it must not be a FAT32 partition. The DOS that boots on the CD does not recognize FAT32 partitions and will not be able to write to the drive. To install with a FAT32 partition, you must boot a FAT32-compatible DOS and then run INSTALL.BAT either from the CD or a network drive. Installing Only IPX Most NetWare 6 services require IP. If you choose to install IPXTM only, you will have very limited functionality. Installing IP as the default protocol is highly recommended. Installing IPX after Installing IP Only If during the installation you select IP only, the server ID number is removed from the AUTOEXEC.NCF at the end of the installation. It is used only for IPX-needed configurations (IP/IPX and IP/SCMD). If you decide to add IPX to your server later after initially installing IP only, you will need to add the SERVERID xxxxxxxx line to your AUTOEXEC.NCF after the server name to use IPX services on the server. 16 NetWare 6 Readme Installing a NetWare 5.1 Server into a Tree with a NetWare 6 SDI Server When installing a NetWare 5.1 server into a tree with a NetWare 6 Security Domain Infrastructure (SDI) server, the installation fails with a "125" error due to a security upgrade. The following error message is displayed: Error while Contacting Security Domain Infrastructure Key Server: NW6_1.Servers.RCH.TX.HCSC Error #125 If the Security Domain Infrastructure server in the NDSPKI:SD Key Server DN attribute in the Security.KAP.WO container is a NetWare 6 server, then a NetWare 5.1 server installation into the tree will fail with this error. This error happens during the final file copy and shows up as part of the Novell Certificate ServerTM installation. To complete the installation of the NetWare 5.1 server, complete the following steps: 1 Install the NetWare 5.1 server standalone (into its own tree). 2 Delete the file SYS:SYSTEM\NICI\NICISDI.KEY. 3 Update the NetWare 5.1 server to NICI 2.0.1 or later. You can download this version of NICI from the Novell download site. 4 Using NWCONFIG, uninstall eDirectory on the NetWare 5.1 server. 5 Using NWCONFIG, install eDirectory onto this server and specify to install the server into the existing NetWare 6 tree. 6 Run the Novell Certificate Server installation either from the server console or through the NetWare Deployment Manager. The Certificate Server installation automatically creates the necessary security objects. 7 Configure products that use SSL certificates, such as LDAP, Web Server, etc., to use the new certificates. Accelerated Upgrade: Installing Apache Web Server Because NetWare Accelerated Upgrade does not install or update any software applications outside of the core NetWare operating system, the Apache Web server is not upgraded/installed during the upgrade. The following products are dependent on Apache: Novell iFolder, NetWare Web Installation and Upgrade 17 Search, iManage, NetWare Web Access, and Novell NetStorage. If you plan to install any of these products after the upgrade, make sure that you install the Apache Web server first. After the Installation or Upgrade Missing Device Drivers The server installation program copies to a startup directory (C:\NWSERVER) only drivers (such as HAMs, CDMs and PSMs) for devices that were auto-detected during the installation process. If you attempt to load a HAM, CDM, or PSM that was not auto-detected during installation and it fails to load, copy the appropriate driver from the C:\NWSERVER\DRIVERS directory to the C:\NWSERVER directory and then load the driver again. Status of Old LAN and WAN Files After an upgrade to NetWare 6, old LAN and WAN files will not be deleted. These old files might not be supported in a NetWare 6 environment. To Speed Up the Post-Installation Utility If performance of the post-installation utility and other Java* applications is slow, then change the VM Cache Pool Percentage SET parameter by entering the following command at the server console: SET VM CACHE POOL PERCENTAGE = 30 Performance of the post-installation program and some Java applications is significantly improved with this change. The changes are saved by the operating system and remain even if the server is rebooted. Update SMS Components A new release of Storage Management Services (SMS) is available at the Novell Support Web site (http://support.novell.com). This release contains important fixes to the SMS components delivered with NetWare 6. The fixes ensure compatibility between earlier versions of NetWare and the NetWare 6 SMS modules. In addition, the patch includes updates to SMS components (including SMDR and TSA), which have made the product more stable and robust. 18 NetWare 6 Readme To maintain backup and restore services on NetWare 6 and your network, you must install the patch. The patch will supersede the SMS modules installed by default during the NetWare 6 installation. For more information, see the Readme included with the patch. Agent Installation for GroupWise 6 Replaces LDAP Files Needed by iFolder The Agent Installation program for GroupWise® 6 lets you overwrite LDAP modules that consequently disable iFolder running on NetWare 6. To avoid this problem, select No when prompted to overwrite the LDAP modules during GroupWise Agent Installation. The LDAP module includes: LDAPSDK.NLM LDAPSSL.NLM LDAPX.NLM If these files are overwritten (by selecting Yes), you must manually copy the files from the NetWare 6 Operating System CD before iFolder will run on NetWare 6.
