CRDIRFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
The following error is return if an attempt is made to create a
directory with an blank character(alt-25) as the last character
in the name. "Unable to create directory"
SOLUTION
Apply CRDIRFIX NLM 1313 02-22-94 4:22p
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:
V3.12, V4.01
Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,

end of a directory name.
3.11 allows the user to create directories for security reasons
that have a "blank"(alt-255) as the last character of the
directory name. To allow NetWare v3.12 and v4.01 to have a
blank Character (alt-255) to the end of a directory name, apply
this patch.
example: md test(alt-255) This works in DOS and on a 3.11
server.

NCF FILE: AUTOEXEC.NCF
--------------------------------------------------------------
DAICCFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
This patch deals with applications that directly control
hardware devices through NetWare (i.e. Jukeboxes, worms, tapes,
etc.). If an error condition occurs such as reaching the end
of a tape, an error code is returned to the calling
application. The error code would be scrambled, resulting in
the wrong error passed to the application. The result, as far
as the Server (i.e. ABEND, hang, etc.) would depend on the
specific application. The patch applies to applications which
use a DAI interface to communicate with the server's hardware.
Check with the vendor of the application to verify the use of
the DAI interface and apply the patch if necessary.
SOLUTION
Apply DAICCFIX NLM 1031 02-08-94 9:47a
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:

--------------------------------------------------------------
DEVIOFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
Problem reported by Compaq with devices using DAI emulation.
Insight Manager, on NetWare 4.01 servers, with a failed storage
device, may show the device as grey, rather than red. Insight
Manager, on NetWare 4.01 servers, with a manually deactivated

DFSRFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
When using Direct File System Read, the time stamp on the file
is updated each time the file is read.
SOLUTION
Apply DFSRFIX NLM 925 03-28-94 9:07a
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:
V4.01
Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,
v3.12 is in 312ITx.EXE or 312PTx.EXE,
v4.01 is in 401ITx.EXE or 401PTx.EXE,

DIRSPCFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
Disk space can not be accounted for.
SOLUTION
Apply DIRSPCFX NLM 1128 02-22-94 4:20p
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:
V3.11, V3.12, V4.01, V3.11 SFT III
Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,
v3.12 is in 312ITx.EXE or 312PTx.EXE,
v4.01 is in 401ITx.EXE or 401PTx.EXE,
v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.
v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
The DIRSPCFX.NLM file is a fix to the set parameter "Maximum
Percent of Volume Used By Directory." The limits of this set
parameter are 5 to 50 percent default and the setting is 13
percent.
The set parameter "Maximum Percent of Volume Used By
Directory". can use double the disk space set.
Example; If the Set parameter is 13 percent, the actual space
that can be used by Extended Attributes is 26 percent.
CAUSE
The Set parameter only searched one of the mirrored tables for
extended attributes to verify that the limit had been met,
which allows the set parameter to use twice as much space as
indicated. The Table for Extended Attributes will grow;
however, it will never decrease in size. So, after the space
is allocated for the EA table, it cannot be used for any thing
other than Extended Attributes.
Installation Instructions:
NCF FILE: STARTUP.NCF
--------------------------------------------------------------
EADATFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
A problem exists with Extended Attributes when performing a
drag and drop COPY of a directory structure from an OS/2
client. Which would cause the Extended Attribute for the new
Parent Directory to be corrupt.
VREPAIR returned the following error message:
Error at extended directory entry xxxx
Invalid Data error
Invalid Score card error
SOLUTION
Apply EADATFIX NLM 997 03-28-94 9:08a
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:

ELEVFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
A window exist where two identical requests to access the same
sector on the hard disk could get placed in the elevator queue
at the same time resulting in a file server lock up.
The file server may possibly hang when a system is in the
process of re-mirroring and when there is extremely high I/O
traffic on the bus.
SOLUTION

EXTENDFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
The following message appears on the console.
"User <username> on connection <connectionnumber> attempted to
extend the length of a file with no owner File Name
<filename>".
Also, at the workstation a message indicating that the disk is
full may be received.
SOLUTION
Apply EXTENDFX NLM 986 11-11-93 12:07p
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:
V4.01
Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,

v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
This patch does not change the ownership of the file but will
allow files with no owner to be extended. Disk space being
used by files with no owner will not be added to the disk space
used by the user that is attempting to extend the file. This is
not a problem unless disk space usage is being limited for the
specified user.
NOTE: THIS PATCH MUST BE LOADED BEFORE ANY VOLUMES ARE
MOUNTED AND CAN BE LOADED FROM THE STARTUP.NCF.

GNSOFFFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
With "reply to get nearest server" set off the specified server
still responds first to workstations loading the NetWare
Requester.
SOLUTION
Apply GNSOFFFX NLM 1049 02-23-94 11:36a
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:

v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.
v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
The above mentioned set parameter was designed to stop the file
server from responding while still allowing other services on
the specified server to reply. With NetWare 4, while the file
server is not responding, the Directory service is responding
to the workstations allowing them to attach to the specified
server. On the server that you have "set reply to get nearest
server = off" load the GNSOFFFX.NLM patch.

LOSTSRFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
When a Cisco router send a SAP packet whose first SAP entry has
the service type set to 0000 (unknown service) the 4.01 server
ignores all SAP's contained in that packet. This will cause
the 4.01 server to accept any SAP from that packet. Therefore,
NLIST SERVERS /B doesn't show certain servers.
SOLUTION
Apply LOSTSRFX NLM 959 03-30-94 1:19p

MAXECBFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
The set parameter "Maximum Packet Receive Buffers" would
traditionally only allow a maximum value of 2000. This caused
a limitation in the number of clients a comm server could
support.
SOLUTION
Apply MAXECBFX NLM 1940 06-22-94 9:28a
The MAXECBFX.NLM allows the "Maximum Packet Receive Buffers" to
be maximum value of 4000. This will increase the number of
clients a comm server can support to 1700.

MEMFRGFX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
This MEMFRGFX.NLM provides an alternative method of registering
memory for 4.01 NetWare. It fixes a condition where the normal
auto registration of memory would represent memory with non-
contiguous blocks. Consequently, only a portion of memory is
available for mounting volumes and growing the directory entry.
This condition will only manifest itself on servers that have
greater than 80 megabytes of server RAM and which have large
amounts of volume space to mount.
The following errors in conjunction with lots of available
cache are indicators of the segmented memory problem.
At the workstation-
SHELL-331-92: Out of dynamic work space during CREATE A
SUBDIRECTORY Abort, Retry?
At the server console-
SERVER-4.0-2335: Error expanding SERVERNAME/VOLUME directory
because directory size limit was reached.
Issue/Problem: A client was creating directories on the
network volume. At about 125,000 directories, the above errors
occurred. Once this condition was achieved and the volume was
dismounted, it would fail to mount with an error message at the
server console:SERVER-4.00-4.25: Insufficient memory for
directory tables
SOLUTION
Apply MEMFRGFX NLM 2582 03-28-94 9:12a
Solution Specifics:
Different versions of this patch are available for the
following NetWare Operating System's:
V4.01
Example: v3.11 is in 311ITx.EXE or 311PTx.EXE,
v3.12 is in 312ITx.EXE or 312PTx.EXE,
v4.01 is in 401ITx.EXE or 401PTx.EXE,
v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.
v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
MEMFRGFX.NLM addresses an issue on NetWare where a server would
run out of memory while mounting the volume or when dynamically
expanding the directory entry table. This patch fixes this
problem by providing an alternate means of registering server
memory.
Installation Instructions:
NCF FILE: STARTUP.NCF
1. Copy MEMFRGFX.NLM to the same directory where SERVER.EXE and
the STARTUP.NCF files reside.
2. Modify the STARTUP.NCF file and add the set parameter, "set
auto register memory above 16 megabytes=off" as the first line.
3. After disabling the auto registration of memory, and before
loading any other driver or patch, load the MEMFRGFX.NLM patch
with the following syntax:
LOAD MEMFRGFX.NLM <STARTING MEMORY ADDRESS> <LENGTH>
The <starting memory address> will always be 1000000 hex (16
MB). The <length> in hex can be calculated by taking the total
amount of File Server memory as reported by the hardware memory
POST, converting that number to hexadecimal and then
subtracting 1000000 hex therefrom. For example if the file
server post reports 163840k bytes of ram, the calculation
would be as follows:
163,840,000 bytes = 9C40000 hex bytes
9C40000 hex minus 1000000 hex = 8C40000 hex
In this case the command would be
LOAD MEMFRGFX.NLM 1000000 8C40000
4. You can then proceed with the loading of any other
STARTUP.NCF commands as usual.
--------------------------------------------------------------
MMACCFIX NLM
============
SYMPTOM
The workstation will hang while performing reads from the file
server. High (100%) utilization at the server console. By
typing "scan for new devices" at the console prompt the high
utilization drops but will climb back up over time.
SOLUTION

v4.02 is in 402ITx.EXE or 402PTx.EXE.
v3.11 SFT is in SFTITx.EXE.
MMACCFIX.NLM fixes this condition by patching the media manager
accelerator module of the NetWare 4.01 OS code. This patch is
recommended for general application on all 4.01 NetWare
servers.

This README file accompanies PM401.NLM (patch manager for
NetWare v4.01). The following files are included for this
revision:
This version of the patch manager replaces any and all previous
versions of the patch manager for NetWare v4.01. PM401.NLM
can only be used with NetWare v4.01.
PM401.NLM is the Patch Manager which tracks and manages all
official patches for NetWare v4.01.
Patches for NetWare v4.01 consist of three types:
DYNAMIC -- Dynamic patches are implemented as NLM files that
can be loaded/unloaded while the server is running. Unloading
a dynamic patch will restore the Operating System to its
original "un-patched" state.
SEMI-STATIC -- Semi-static patches can also be loaded while the
server is running, but they cannot be unloaded. It is not
possible to undo the effects of a semi-static patch without
first downing the server and bringing it back up without
loading the semi-static patch.
STATIC -- A static patch is a DOS executable program that
modifies the SERVER.EXE file. This type of patch is applied
once and its effects are permanent. It is suggested that a
backup of the original SERVER.EXE file be made before applying
a static patch. (In other words, do not patch the SERVER.EXE
on your original distribution diskette!)
Dynamic and semi-static patches modify the Operating System in
memory, not on the disk. This means that dynamic and semi-
static patches must be loaded each time the Operating System is
brought up in order for any 'fixes' to take effect. It is
recommended that the command "LOAD <patch>" be placed in the
file server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file to ensure that the patch is
always in effect as soon as the server is brought up.
In order to see which patches are currently loaded on the
system, type "PATCHES" at the file server command line. The
patches will then be grouped and displayed according to their
