NetWare Loadable Modules

Reading the NLMs from UnixWare onto DOS diskettes

Before making the NLM diskettes, make sure that the NetWare Integration Kit (``nwsup'') package is installed on your UnixWare system. To do so, enter the following command at the UnixWare command line:

pkginfo nwsup

If the name of the package (``nwsup'') is displayed, then it is installed. If an error is displayed, install the ``nwsup'' package from the installation media, as described in ``Installing, managing, and removing software''.

Once the package installation has been completed, follow this procedure to read the NLMs from a UnixWare system onto DOS-formatted diskettes. These diskette will be used in ``Installing the NLMs'' to install the NLMs onto a NetWare server.

  1. Format and label two diskettes on your UnixWare machine, as described in ``Formatting and labelling diskettes''. Use the labels ``DISK1'' and ``DISK2''.


    NOTE: It is important that each diskette be labelled using the -v option to the dosformat command (see the dos(1) manual page). Failure to label the diskettes as directed below will result in the failure of the installation process on NetWare.

  2. mount -F dosfs /dev/dsk/f03ht /mnt

  3. cd /var/spool/nwsup/NWserv/nwuc/disk1

  4. copy -v -u . /mnt

  5. umount /mnt

  6. cd ../dsk2

  7. mount -F dosfs /dev/dsk/f03ht /mnt

  8. copy -v -u . /mnt

  9. umount /mnt
