In order to use LANalyzer for NetWare (which everyone thinks is called
LANalyzer for Windows :-) with a card, it has to have an updated ODI driver
that supports promiscuous mode, which is part of the latest ODI specification.
     There is a driver available for the 3c503 card, although I don't know
if its beta or released by now.  Anyway, its available in the 3Com forum
on Compu$erve.  I hope that 3Com drivers are also available on the Net, but
I don't know for sure.

I have a network running NetWare 3.11 between AT Compatibles and IBM PS/2s.
I'm using Ethernet_II packets.  I just bought LAN Workplace for DOS, Novells
TCP/IP add-in.

I can load _either_ IPX and NETX and use my LAN _or_ LSL, 3C509, and TCPIP
and use my organization's backbone and the Internet.  If I load _both_
protocols, I can access my LAN, but _not_ the backbone.  According to the
Novell documentation, I should be able to use both simultaneously.  Other
than telling me it's possible, though, the documentation doesn't tell me how
to do it, and the people at Novell couldn't figure it out either.  If any-
body has had this problem and knows how to solve it, I sure would appreciate
some help.

Please respond via e-mail.  Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Date: 10 Jan 93 19:23:46 GMT
Organization: Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden


This might be an old FAQ, I'm new to this group. I've been told that
this ought to be something solved a long time ago, but noone has been
able to tell me how to solve my problem. My problem:

I have a fileserver with bad disks, lots of disk errors. I've been
able to backup 1/10 of the files. Of the rest, 1/3 is rather important
information. In an attempt to save what can be saved I decided to
try vrepair. It refused to run, giving me the error:
'Abend: Bad ROM parameter table for DISK controller'

I have the following configuration:

	Victor 386S, Adaptec 2370 (hd ctrl), 2x RODIME 5130R (hds)
	ELS II Advanced Netware 2.15c (Dedicated)
	
Some facts:
	- The fileserver boots from the hd
	- The hdctrl and hds, put in another (standard PC) 
	  gives the same error with VREPAIR
	- The BIOS disk setting is Type 1 for both C and D.
	- The disks are 1224 cyls and it is an RLL controller.
	- I did not setup the server and I have no information
	  on the patches (that was probably) applied to Netware
	  to make it run with this hd setup.

My own guesswork:

The NETOS was probably patched to make it work. VREPAIR in 2.15 is not
linked, as in 2.2, and also needs to be patched to be able to run.

That the disks has a cyl parameter of >1023 is probably the reason for
the strange error. 

What I tried:

I have been searching through the Novell Netwire (via gopher) for new
versions of VREPAIR and found and tried two or three, no success.

I just wonder if anyone has had similar problems and what could
possibly be done about it. Any help is warmly appreciated.

the same on a file server (For volumes).

ALso. Anybody got a program for generating the icon file? Editing it? Making

I am upgrading a NWLITE server to NW311 10 user system.  The server
has an IDE drive (Connor 200MB).  I did the following:
- delete the old DOS partition
- create a 2MB DOS partition
- run server
- load IDE.DSK
- load INSTALL
- choose Disk Options
- choose Partition Tables
I then get a message to the effect that Netware can't find any
drives and suggests to load the disk driver.

I have tried ISADISK (the latest downloaded from the ftp server)
with the same results.  I tried the switches that are documented in
the README.311 file for ISADISK with the IDE driver (my dealer told
me they are the same) - /b and /l with similar results.  There was
no documentation with the IDE driver that mentioned any switches.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I haven't tried?  Also, does
anyone know any undocumented or obscurely documented switches of
any kind for IDE.DSK or ISADISK.DSK?  Any one know a source for
information on these options?  I am tired of rebuilding the old
server time and again trying various options that won't work!!!!!

Hi,

Thanks for the version information this time.  That really helps.

The easiest way to change your volume icon is to use the GET INFO feature (avail
able in System 7).  Your sequence of events follows:

	1. From the DOS client, flag the volume in question as NORMAL by
	using FILER to remove the directory's attributes.  Then at the DOS
	prompt, use the FLAGDIR command to verify the directory is flagged
	as NORMAL.
	2. Login to the server in question from your Macintosh as SUPERVISOR
	3. Highlight the server's icon
	4. Select GET INFO from the FILE pull-down menu
	5. Construct, or isolate an item with the desired icon and GET INFO
	on this object (A folder, or application will do fine).
	6. Cut the icon from the GET INFO window of the desired item and paste 
	   it over the icon shown in the server's GET INFO window.

The server's icon should now be changed and there is only one step left.
Give the rest of the users access to the file called ICON which is located
in the root of the SYS volume.  To do this, just add the group EVERYONE as a
TRUSTEE (Read, File Scan) to this file.  That should do it for you.  Realize
that if you do not perform this last step, all users (except SUPERVISOR) will
see a generic icon on the desktop.  Also, if you do not perform the first step,
you will not be able to paste a new icon into the server's GET INFO window, so
that step is important too.

To be safe, make a copy of the original server icon and paste it into the 
GET INFO window of a generic folder so that folder has the NetWare server icon.
Keep this folder in a safe place so that if you want to go back to using this 
icon view, you can do so with little hassle.

I hope this information is clear enough.  And thanks again for the more complete
problem description this time.  It helps much and is greatly appreciated...;-)

we'll need a misc group as well as version groups!  (We could start
with comp.os.network.misc instead of comp.os.netware, but I still don't
see much advantage.  So we wouldn't have to rename if we split later;
so what?)

I just did this last week.  I downloaded MIGRATE.ZIP (I think that was
the name) from novell's ftp server.  It's a beta version.  It worked
great, except:

1) my backup device wouldn't function under the 3.11 NLMS so I had to
fall back on a borrowed backup unit.  Make sure whatever backup method
you use during your rebuild will function correctly when the server
becomes a real 3.11 puppy.

2) I used Migrate to create a twin of my 2.2 original server onto a
borrowed 3.11 spare server.  I carefully compared number of files &
bytes on both the old and borrowed servers until I was sure everything
had migrated ok.  Then I nuked my old server and rebuilt it from scratch
under 3.11.  After that worked ok, I tried restoring from backup tape.
No go.  Then I used NCOPY to get stuff from the borrowed server to the
new one.  That all worked ok.  Then I used Cheyenne Utilities to
transfer the bindery of the borrowed server to the new server.  That
worked ok, too.  I thought I was all set.

3) The next day, my bosses secretaries complained that their files were
missing!  I eventually discovered that MIGRATE had placed some 50 users'
files as subdirectories under another regular user.  The 50 had home
directories of their own, and their bindery info was ok, except that all
their files existed elsewhere.  IE User BETH's directory SYS:USERS\BETH
became SYS:USERS\GREGM\BETH.  I haven't a *clue* why this occurred.  I
failed to catch this before I nuked my original server because I was
only counting files and bytes total under the root of each volume, not
within each subdirectory under the volume.

I went back and studied the migration report MIGRATE created, and sure
enough, it reported moving all those users' files under GREGM instead of
where they really belonged.  The report  didn't give any reason why it
did this, though.

Upshot, I temporarily lost some files for a lot of users but once I
found out where they really were, putting them back where they belonged
was a simple matter.  The only gotcha: any special trustee rights those
users may have granted to other users are lost, becuase those
directories didn't already exist when I restored the bindary.

Other than this, Migrate worked GREAT.

(Yes, I know, I could have done an inplace migration or used 2xto3x
instead, but I needed to do a major reorganization of my volumes at the
same time, and I did *not* trust my backup unit, critical in an inplace
migration.)

    ANYONE that can help out on the following OS/2 NETWARE programming
problem, please read on!

    We are running NetWare 3.11 under OS/2 2.0.  The need has arisen to
develop an automatic login procedure to login to many different
applications/servers including our LAN from a startup program.

    The final problem I have run into is with NetWare.  It seems that
the LOGIN.EXE program forces input from the keyboard no matter how I
redirect input (simple command line redirection, pipes...)  By typing
the binary for LOGIN.EXE, I noticed imports for "KBDCHARIN" and the
like, which would explain the ignoring of redirection of standard input,
it's not asking for standard input!

    I am attempting this automation using IBM C Set/2 for OS/2 2.0.
Does anyone know of a way that I could possibly get NetWare to accept a
login from anything OTHER THAN THE KEYBOARD?

Any help or hints would be most appreciated.
