3+Open Version 1.1 Maintenance  Update Instructions
Part Number 7642-00

These instructions tell you how to perform the software maintenance update
on your network servers and workstations.

You must have installed or upgraded to 3+Open version 1.1 software before
performing this update.  When you update to this 3+Open version, many files
are completely replaced.  Directories created with version 1.1 will still
exist after the update has been completed.

Updating all servers and workstations on the network with the Maintenance
Update ensures better reliability, interoperability, and supportability.

   NOTE:  Reformatting the hard disk is not required for this update.

This update and these update instructions are intended for persons familiar
with MS OS/2 and 3+Open.  Read through these instructions and the 3+Open
Version 1.1 Maintenance Update Release Notes, included in this upgrade
package, before you begin the upgrade to familiarize yourself with the
process.  It is crucial to follow the instructions carefully.


Along with these upgrade instructions and release notes, you may need to
refer to the following 3+Open documents: 3+Open for 3Servers Installation
and Setup Guide, 3+Open LAN Manager Installation and Setup Guide, and the
3+Open Backup Guide.  If you have Start volumes, you may need to refer to
the 3+Open Start Guide.  If you need assistance with this update, contact
your network supplier.

The word workstation and its derivatives (NETWKSTA.EXE, and so forth) are
used throughout these instructions because they appear in the LAN Manager
software and data files.  The word netstation  is used as another word for
workstation.

Procedures for Updating Your System
===================================
Updating network servers and workstations with the 3+Open Version 1.1
Maintenance Update involves these main procedures:

* Making copies of all the diskettes in your update package.

* Backing up the server and workstation hard disks.

* Printing copies of certain version 1.1 files and recording network
  information that may be needed after updating.

* Updating all servers and workstations.


Additional procedures that apply to some system configurations are
described at the end of these update instructions.  They include:

* Updating existing workstation startup diskettes for each workstation.

* Updating Start volumes, if they exist.

If you want to view the files that will change, you can type out the file,
MAINT11.INS, from the Maintenance Update #1 diskette.

You may also need to adjust memory allocations and fine tune network
parameters using the 3+Open Version 1.1 Maintenance Update Release Notes.

Copying Diskettes
=================
Make a copy of each diskette in the upgrade package.  Be sure to put the
original upgrade diskettes in a safe place. Use the copies to upgrade your
network.

Backing Up Your Server
======================
Refer to the 3+Open Backup Guide for complete information on performing a
full backup of a 3Com network server with a tape drive.  For PC servers,
use your normal backup method.

   NOTE:  Be sure you have a valid backup of your system before starting
the upgrade procedure.  To ensure that you have a valid backup, create a
full tape directory of your backup before proceeding.

Printing Configuration Files and Recording Network Information
==============================================================
Your current server configuration files serve as a guide in case the update
requires memory allocation adjustments and you need to reconfigure and fine
tune network parameters after the update.  Print copies of the following
files: 3STARTUP.CMD, CONFIG.OS2, CONFIG.SYS, STARTUP.CMD, PROTOCOL.INI, and
LANMAN.INI.

When you have printed copies of your configuration files, you are ready to
perform the maintenance update.  If you are updating a PC server or
3Server, refer to the following section.  For information on upgrading
workstations, refer to the appropriate section at the end of these
instructions.

Updating the Software
=====================
Install the update software on 3Servers or PC servers using the 3SIS
program.  There are three diskettes included with this upgrade.  They are
called Maintenance Update #1, Maintenance Update #2, and Maintenance Update
#3.

Using 3SIS
==========
Use the 3SIS program to install the update software, enable and disable
services, and to view any services that are already installed on a network
server.


The best way to understand the functions of 3SIS is to examine the 3SIS
main menu screen, which consists of two pull-down menu selections View
and Operations  and the [F1]=HELP facility.  Selecting the View menu from
3SIS displays the Installed Services selection and the Exit selection.  The
Installed Services option lists the names of the services that are
installed on a network server.  It also provides status information on the
service.  Among the selections on the Operations menu is the Install a
Service option.  After selecting this option, the program guides you
through the installation process by prompting you for any relevant
information, and copies the necessary files from the installation diskettes
to the hard disk on the server.

  NOTE:  Make sure you perform these procedures from an OS/2 workstation
for a 3Server or dedicated PC server, or if you have a concurrent PC
server, make sure to perform these procedures in the OS/2 screen command
mode.

1. Make sure all users are logged out.

2. Log in as an admin user with admin capabilities.

 If the server is under share-level security, and the ADMIN$ sharename does
not already exist, you must share it and link to it.

 Refer to the 3+Open MS OS/2 LAN Manager Administrator Guide for complete
information.

   NOTE:  If you do not have 3+Open Start installed on your network, skip
step 3.


3.Stop the 3+Open Start service.

 For a 3Server or dedicated PC server, type on one line:

         net admin \\servername /c net  stop 3START

 For a concurrent PC server, type:

         net stop 3START

4. Insert the Maintenance Update #1 diskette into drive A and from the A
prompt, type:

         3sis

   NOTE:  You must place the Maintenance Update #1 diskette into the A
drive and start the 3SIS program from this drive.  Otherwise, you may
receive the following error message:

         (40) 'STATUS': Command contains undefined variable [254]
         Continuing is not advised.  Stop?

If this happens, choose Yes and run 3SIS from the Maintenance Update #1
diskette.  Refer to the on-line help if you have questions.

5.Select the name of the server to be updated.

 Use the [Tab] and arrow keys to select the server.

6. Choose Install a Service from the Operations menu.

7. Indicate the name of the configuration file when prompted.

 You are asked for the name of the configuration file.  The filename should
be either CONFIG.SYS or CONFIG.OS2.  You may need to type the path to the
OS/2 configuration file on the target machine if the default path listed is
not correct.

8. Indicate drive A, which contains the upgrade diskette.

9. Select Maintenance Update 1.1 from the Install Service list box and
select OK.

 You are asked if you want to update the server that you selected earlier.
Select OK if this is the correct server.

10. Insert  the Maintenance Update #2 diskette when prompted.

11. Insert  the Maintenance Update #3 diskette when prompted.

12. Select  OK when you see the operation completed message.

   NOTE:  Do not reboot your server at this time.

13.Exit the 3SIS program.

14. Shut  down the server.

 Refer to the server shutdown procedures outlined in the 3+Open Version 1.1
Maintenance Update Release Notes.

15. Reboot the server.

After the Update
================
You have now completed the update process on your server.  To safeguard
your system, perform a full backup of your updated server now.

For information on updating workstations, refer to the appropriate section
at the end of these instructions.

Create new workstation startup diskettes for each workstation.

Restarting the Update Process
=============================
If the update fails, restart the update process.  As a last resort, you can
restore your backed-up 3+Open version 1.1 software and start the update
process from the beginning.

Upgrading LAN Manager Workstation Software
==========================================
After the server is updated, you can link DOS and OS/2 workstations to it,
and use it as a source to update your workstations.  The following
procedure tells you how to update 3+Open LAN Manager software onto your
workstations and how to make the boot diskettes.


Upgrading DOS Workstations
==========================
Follow these procedures to upgrade your DOS  workstations:

1. Boot from the DOS workstation diskette or hard drive you want to
upgrade.

2. Link to the C$ drive of the newly updated server.

         net use g: \\servername\C$

   NOTE:  You must have the proper access rights to this server.  If this
is a user-level server, you must be an admin user.  If this is a share-
level server, then perform the following steps:

* Log on to the 3+Open network.

* Link to the ADMIN$ sharename using the administrative password you
entered when you modified 3+Open software on the server.  For example,
enter the following on one line:

         NET USE \\Servername\ADMIN$ password

3.Run the Netsetup program by moving to the drive you linked to in the
previous step.

 a. Change to the selected drive, for example:

         g:

 b. Change to the directory where the Netsetup  program resides:

         cd\3open\server\lanman\netprog

 c. Start Netsetup:

         netsetup

4. Select Upgrade LAN Manager software from the Main Menu.

5. Follow the Netsetup prompts as you did during the upgrade.

 Choose the previously selected drive as your source drive, and your local
workstation drive as the destination drive.

6. Quit the Netsetup program when the process is complete.

7. Boot the workstation.

You must restart the workstation after this process to complete the
upgrade.

   NOTE:   The upgrade option upgrades the level of software.  This does
not mean changing from DOS Basic to DOS Enhanced.  If you have a DOS Basic
workstation and desire a DOS Enhanced workstation, you must install DOS
Enhanced.


Upgrading OS/2 Workstations
===========================
Follow these procedures to update your OS/2 workstation:

  NOTE:  You cannot perform these procedures while booted under OS/2.  OS/2
uses dynamic link libraries (DLL) which remain open and cannot be updated
while the system is running.  The upgrade process needs to replace these
files.

1.Insert a  DOS workstation boot diskette into drive A of your OS/2
workstation and reboot.

 If you are using 3+Open for 3Servers you can use the  Netstation Utility
diskette.

   NOTE:  If you do not have a DOS workstation boot diskette you need to
create one by following the instructions in the 3+Open LAN Manager
Installation and Setup Guide, or the 3+Open for 3Servers Installation and
Setup Guide.  If your workstation C partition  is larger than 32 MB, you
must use DOS 4.0 or greater for your DOS workstation boot diskette in order
to access the partition.

2.Continue from step 2 of the previous procedure.

 Refer to the "Upgrading DOS Workstations" section earlier in these
instructions.

Updating Start Volumes
======================
Follow this procedure to update your 3+Open Start volumes:

1. Boot from the Start volume to be updated.

2. Continue from step 2 of the procedure in "Upgrading DOS Workstations",
earlier in these instructions.
