Step 4: Update to MPE/iX 5.x and Install NetWare 3.11
After completing the pre-installation steps, you are ready for
installation.
Use the standard MPE AUTOINST utility to update to MPE/iX 5.0 and to
install the NetWare 3.11 subsys product.
Verify Installation
After using AUTOINST, verify the product installed correctly:
1. From the MPE prompt, log into the system:
:hello manager.sys
2. Check the installation job output. The jobname is I002020B and is
owned by manager.sys. To determine the SPOOLID, at the MPE prompt
type:
:listspf @;seleq=[jobname=I002020B
3. Print out the job install output using the SPOOLID as the file ID
in the Onnnn.OUT.HPSPOOL file. Check the end of the file for the
successful completion information. The message contains the
statement:
--Autoinstall of NetWare/iX Complete
4. You can also verify the product modules using the MPE command:
:nmmaint,71 or nw versions
Create Device Files
For NetWare 3.11, you must create device files for the links you want to
use with NetWare:
1. Log onto the system:
:hello manager.sys
2. Run NMMGR and verify the link name(s) you want to configure for
use with NetWare/iX are already configured. If not, use NMMGR to
create the link names.
3. Enter the command:
:mknod "/dev/dlpi.linkname c 01 96 LINKNAME"
Where linkname is the configured link name from NMMGR (represented
in lowercase letters, up to eight characters in length).
LINKNAME is the NMMGR configured linkname in uppercase letters.
The link can either be a LAN link or token-ring link. Note that
the device file name must be in lowercase letters
The numbers 01 and 96 are specific to the DLPI device files and
are the same numbers used for a LAN or token-ring link device
file.
Example: SYSLINK
For example, to create a device file name for SYSLINK, log into the
system as manager.sys, and enter the command as follows:
:mknod "/dev/dlpi.syslink c 01 96 SYSLINK"
