NWTRAP.NLM 38317 02-17-94 3:00p
SIDEWIND.NLM 191873 08-08-94 11:05a
Installation Instructions:
1. Map a drive to SYS:\SYSTEM on the server running NMA 1.5.
2. Rename the old NWTRAP.NLM (in case you later want to restore
it).
3. Rename the old SIDEWIND.NLM (in case you later want to
restore it).
4. Copy the NWTRAP.NLM in NMA003.EXE, to SYS:\SYSTEM.
5. Copy the SIDEWIND.NLM in NMA003.EXE, to SYS:\SYSTEM.
6. On the server, enter: UNLOAD NWTRAP.
7. On the server, enter: LOAD NWTRAP
or
enter: LOAD NWTRAP /o
The /o switch prevents NWTRAP.NLM from generating the trap #230
(User Logged In). With this switch, the User Logged In traps
will not show up in the NMS Console alarm monitor log.
(If you normally load NWTRAP.NLM from NMA.NCF, you may also
need to edit NMA.NCF to add the /o switch.)
8. On the server, enter: UNLOAD SIDEWIND.
9. On the server, enter: LOAD SIDEWIND /N (and with the
parameters you specified when loading SIDEWIND in NMA.NCF)
Solution Specifics:
Specifically, this patch to NWTRAP does the following:
- Stops NWTRAP.NLM from printing messages to the system console
whenever it issues a trap.
- Provides the "/o" command line argument to disable the
generation of trap #230 (User logged in).
Specifically, this patch to SIDEWIND does the following:
- Servers running NMA 1.5 will not abend when new 3.12 events
are generated. - Multiple SCSI cards running the Compaq Fast
SCSI II driver will now be recognized.
Patch History:
NMA003.EXE supersedes NMA001.EXE.
