Summary:
The following is the procedure for upgrading a Microsoft LAN Manager
server using a full install set. This procedure was written to provide
step-by-step instructions so that no critical pieces of the original
installation would be lost in the upgrade process. This process was
written specifically for upgrading to LAN Manager version 2.0c,
although it may be helpful in future upgrades as well.
Note: The instructions are written with regard to a default
installation. Many of the directory paths can be configured within LAN
Manager. Proper precautions should be taken to understand the intent
of each step below, and thus take the equivalent step with regard to
your particular installation.
1. Use BACKACC.EXE to perform a backup of the user database, audit
log, and file/directory permissions.
Note: There have been patches made to BACKACC.EXE in the upgrade
to LAN Manager 2.0c. To eliminate possible problems with BACKACC,
use the copy on the 2.0c installation disks. BACKACC is on the
OS/2 Workstation Disk 4 in the NETPROG directory.
Use the following syntax to back up file permissions on drive C:
backacc c:\ /f:c:\back_c.acl /s
Similarly, back up file permissions on the rest of the partitions
on the server. For example:
backacc d:\ /f:c:\back_d.acl /s
The user database and audit log will actually be backed up each
time BACKACC is run; however, multiple backups of these files are
not harmful.
2. Copy the following files to the root directory (the current LAN
Manager installation will eventually be removed later in this
procedure and all files in the LANMAN directory and subdirectories
will be lost):
C:\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NETACC.BKP
C:\LANMAN\LOGS\NETAUD.BKP
C:\LANMAN\LANMAN.INI
3. Make a copy of the replication files, which normally include logon
scripts. If these files are not usually kept in a subdirectory of
the LANMAN directory, they will not be deleted, and thus this step
can be skipped. Use the following command
xcopy c:\lanman\repl c:\temp\repl /s
where C:\TEMP\REPL is a temporary directory created for this
purpose.
4. Make a copy of the user directories. In the default installation,
use the following command
xcopy c:\lanman\accounts\userdirs c:\temp\userdirs /s
where C:\TEMP\USERDIRS is a temporary directory created for this
purpose.
5. Make a copy of the profiles. In the default installation, use the
following command
xcopy c:\lanman\profiles c:\temp\profiles /s
where C:\TEMP\PROFILES is a temporary directory created for this
purpose.
6. If remote program load (RPL) is being used, make copies of the
following files:
C:\LANMAN\RPL\RPL.MAP
C:\LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN\LANMAN.INI
C:\LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN\PROTOCOL.INI
C:\LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN.DOS\LANMAN.INI
C:\LANMAN\RPL\LANMAN.DOS\PROTOCOL.INI
Boot Images in C:\LANMAN\RPL\DOS
The RPL setup is highly configurable; measures should be taken
to save previous customizations.
7. Stop the workstation service using the following command:
net stop workstation /y
8. Run SETUP.EXE from the LANMAN directory and remove the LAN Manager
installation.
Note: Because Print Manager is using the file
C:\LANMAN\NETLIB\LMPRINT.QPR, an error may occur when this step is
performed. If this error occurs, boot from a floppy disk (for
example, the OS/2 installation disk) and rename LMPRINT.QPR. Once
this file has been renamed, reboot off the hard drive, stop the
workstation, and continue removing LAN Manager.
When the remove process is finished, reboot the machine.
9. Run SETUP.EXE from the new copy of the LAN Manager full
installation disks, picking the appropriate NDIS drivers and
protocol stacks for your installation. Extra services for
autostart do not need to be selected at this time. The same name
MUST be used for the server and domain that were being used on the
old installation.
Note: STARTUP.CMD may need to be edited after the installation
because the lines to start the server will be added to the end of
STARTUP.CMD. Any lines that need to run after NET START SERVER
must be moved manually.
10. Restore the replication directories, user directories, and
profiles. Use the following commands (assuming the exact same
commands listed in steps 3, 4, and 5 were used):
xcopy c:\temp\repl c:\lanman\repl /s
xcopy c:\temp\userdirs c:\lanman\accounts\userdirs /s
xcopy c:\temp\profiles c:\lanman\profiles /s
11. If RPL is being used, restore the files saved in step 6.
12. Stop the workstation service. First, log on with the default admin
account:
net logon admin password
Then, stop the workstation service with the following command:
net stop workstation /y
13. Restore the original user accounts database, audit log, and
LANMAN.INI using the following commands:
copy c:\netacc.bkp c:\lanman\accounts\net.acc
copy c:\netaud.bkp c:\lanman\logs\net.aud
copy c:\lanman.ini c:\lanman\lanman.ini
14. Restore the file/directory permissions using RESTACC. The syntax
for the C: partition is as follows:
restacc c:\ /f:c:\back_c.acl /s
Restore the file/directory permissions for the remaining
partitions. For example, use the following command for the D:
partition:
restacc d:\ /f:c:\back_d.acl /s
15. If you have a license for more than five users, run the ADDPAK
disks on this new installation.
16. If the UPS service was being run, reinsert the following line in
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\LANMAN\DRIVERS\UPSDRV.OS2 /PORT:COMx
where COMx is the serial port where the UPS is attached.
17. The server upgrade should now be complete. Run
net start server
and have the server boot with its original configuration.
Now, the workstations should be upgraded. This process should be
considerably less involved. Make sure to back up the profile before
removing and reinstalling the LAN Manager workstation.
