SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP5701 PART NUMBER: 276914-002, 276915-002, 276916-002, 276917-002, 276918-002 FILE NAME: N/A TITLE: Support Software Diskette for Novell Products VERSION: 3.22 Rev A LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Systems/Drivers PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq ProSignia and ProLiant Servers OPERATING SYSTEM: Novell NetWare 3.2 intraNetWare 4.11 intraNetWare SMP 4.11 NetWare SFT-III 4.1x SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: 26 June 1998 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 2.x SUPERSEDES: SP5700 DESCRIPTION: Creates the Support Software for Novell Products Diskettes (NSSD). The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and intraNetWare on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq options such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, and Compaq CD-ROM drives. Enhancements/Fixes: - CPQICMD.NLM v1.13 was updated to allow the installation of PCI Hot Plug software on non-PCI Hot Plug systems without prompting the user to choose settings on the PCI Hot Plug Reservation Table. Earlier versions of CPQICMD.NLM would prompt the user to choose settings on the PCI Hot Plug Reservation Table after loading PCI Hot Plug software on non-PCI Hot Plug systems. This effort provided no realized gain to non-PCI Hot Plug systems. - CPQ2ETH.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data. Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the data to the operating system. - CPQ2TOK.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data. Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the data to the operating system. - CPQETHER.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data. Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the data to the operating system. - CPQTOKEN.LAN v3.12 was updated to perform a reset on a partial shutdown to ensure that the Network Interface Card (NIC) receiver was not active allowing the driver to continue receiving interrupts on received data. Previously, this caused a condition where data may be received, but there was no valid Received Control Block (RCB) to use to return the data to the operating system. - CPQTRPCI.COM v1.01 provides support for the Compaq Netelligent 4/16 TR UTP/STP Controllers. - CPQTRPCI.LAN v2.08 provides support for the Compaq Netelligent 4/16 TR PCI Controller. - N100.LAN v3.27 is a new addition to NSSD which provides NetWare server support for the following devices: Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel UTP Controller Compaq Netelligent 10T PCI Intel UTP Controller Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel WOL UTP Controller - N100ODI.COM v1.10 is a new addition to NSSD which provides DOS ODI support for the following devices: Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel UTP Controller Compaq Netelligent 10T PCI Intel UTP Controller Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI Intel WOL UTP Controller - NFT.NLM v1.10 is a new addition to NSSD and provides controller redundancy for two Compaq 10/100 PCI controllers or two NC3121 Fast Ethernet network interface cards (NICs), or one of each. - PCNTNW.LAN v4.06 was updated to comply with the ODI 3.31 specification for intraNetWare. - PCNTNW.COM v4.00 was updated to comply with the ODI 3.31 specification for intraNetWare. - OS/2 support has been removed from NSSD 3.22 and later. Please refer to NSSD 3.21 for OS/2 client driver support. - Novell currently only supports the use of NDIS drivers for Client32 for Windows and NT. Please refer to the Client32 documentation for driver installation information. - CPQARRAY.HAM v1.20 adds support for the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES Controller. - CPQFC.HAM v1.02 prevents an ABEND from occurring during initialization when memory allocation problems occur under NetWare 3.2. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 supports the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES Controller features. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 adds support for 64MB cache on the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES Controller. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 displays the following error message when a DDFS driver does not support the Compaq SMART Array 3100ES Controller, or greater: "The currently loaded array driver does not support this controller. This controller requires CPQARRAY.HAM version 1.20 or later. Please make sure you have the latest driver loaded on the system." Upgrade to the latest version of CPQARRAY.HAM located on Disk 4 of the NSSD. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 supports the 64-bit cache on the Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 adds support of up to four (4) system buses, and up to fifteen (15) drives per system bus. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 adds support to distinguish between a SMART-2/P and a SMART-2DH controller. - CPQONLIN.NLM v2.20 displays the following message when attempting to run the array configuration utility on NetWare 5.0: "This version of the array configuration utility does not support NetWare 5.0. Please obtain a newer version of CPQONLIN." Upgrade to the latest version of CPQONLIN.NLM located on Disk 5 of the NSSD. - CPQSHD.CDM v1.11 repairs a problem when trying to unload a driver that has active devices. - CPQHLTH.NLM v4.01 adds support for the Compaq ProLiant 1850R. - CPQHLTH.NLM v4.01 adds support for the Compaq Pentium II Xeon ProLiant 6000. - CPQRI.NLM v2.00 has been updated to provide support for the PCI version of the Remote Insight Board. This support requires the use of CPQHLTH.NLM v4.00 or later. - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 displays a message when it locates a Hot Plug controller. - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 displays a message when it does not locate a Hot Plug controller, indicating the system does not support PCI Hot Plug. - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 has been updated to correctly display the message "Power Fault" in the Event Log entry when there is a power fault in the first Hot Plug slot of a system bus. Previously, the message "Unexpected Slot Power Loss" would display when this power fault occurred. - CPQSBD.NLM v2.10 was updated to support the latest revisions of the Hot Plug controller for future hardware. - CPQSMP.PSM v2.22 was updated to prevent lost and spurious hardware interrupts when PCI adapters are hot-plug added to SMP ProLiant Pentium II Xeon systems like the ProLiant 7000. Refer to the Driver Summary Chart for specific content layout of the NSSD diskettes. SUPPORTED SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT UPDATES Novell Support Software no longer supports the NetWare 3.12 or NetWare 4.10 environments. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain five (5) formatted 1.44-MB diskettes. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes. 4. After the diskettes have been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. For installation instructions, refer to INSTALL.RDM on diskette 2.
