Abstract: NETWARE 3X / 4X WILL NOT AUTO REGISTER >16MB OR >64MB RAM
SYMPTOM:
PC Server 310/315/320/325/330 Systems running NetWare 3.12
will not recognize System memory greater than 16MB.
PC Server 310/315/320 Systems running NetWare 4.10 / 4.11
will not recognize System memory greater than 16MB.
PC Server 325/330 Systems running NetWare 4.10 / 4.11 will
not recognize System memory greater than 64MB.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
"REGISTER MEMORY <START> <LENGTH>"
Where <START> represents the first 16MB of memory and <LENGTH> represents the amount of memory in addition to the first 16MB. The value is the result of the following: XMB x 1024 x 1024 = value in hex. The value for the first 16MB would be: 16 x 1024 x 1024 = 1000000 (hex)
For example:
The statement for a system with 32MB of memory is as follows:
REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 1000000
Some other examples of START and LENGTH values are listed below:
Total System Memory START LENGTH
------------------- ------- ------
20MB 1000000 400000
24MB 1000000 800000
28MB 1000000 C00000
32MB 1000000 1000000
36MB 1000000 1400000
40MB 1000000 1800000
48MB 1000000 2000000
64MB 1000000 3000000
80MB 1000000 4000000
96MB 1000000 5000000
128MB 1000000 7000000
256MB 1000000 F000000
512MB 1000000 1F000000
1024MB 1000000 3F000000

DETAIL:
ISA/PCI (310,315) Systems with more than 16MB of System
memory, Novell NetWare 3.12 requires that Automatic
Registration of memory is disabled, and all System memory
manually registered. Novell has no patch / fixpack to date
for ISA/PCI Systems running NetWare 3.12 to Auto-register
beyond 16MB of System memory.
ISA/PCI (310,315) Systems with more than 16MB of System
memory, Novell NetWare 4.10 requires the Novell Patch 410PT8.
ISA/PCI (310,315) Systems with more than 16MB of System
memory, Novell NetWare 4.11 requires the Novell Service Pack 2 or higher.
EISA/PCI (320) Systems with more than 16MB of System memory,
Novell NetWare 3.12 / 4.10 / 4.11 requires that the System's
EISA Configuration Utility is set with the total System
memory (an alternate method for 4.10 / 4.11 would be to apply
the 410PT8A patch for 4.10 / the service pack 2 or higher for 4.11).
EISA/PCI (325/330) Systems with more than 16MB of System
memory, Novell NetWare 3.12 requires that the System's EISA
Configuration Utility is set with the total System Memory.
EISA/PCI (325/330) Systems with more than 64MB of System
memory, Novell NetWare 4.10 /4.11 requires that the System's
Configuration Utility is set with the total System Memory
(an alternate method for 4.10 / 4.11 would be to apply the
410PT8A patch for 4.10 / the service pack 2 or higher for 4.11).
