Abstract: SERVER & NETWARE V4.11 HANGS on MULTIPLE SERVERAID ADAPTERS


TEXT:

Server with NetWare v4.11 hangs on multiple ServeRAID Adapters


SYMPTOMS:

Server hangs using NetWare v4.11.


PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:


FIX:

For this defect the customer should install NetWare Support Pack 6 or later.


DETAILS:

Under intraNetWare (NetWare v4.11), if multiple ServeRAID adapters are in the system and the console command 'REMOVE STORAGE ADAPTER Ax' is used to remove a single instance of the IPSRAID.HAM driver and then the DOS partition is accessed, the system will hang.
The problem is caused by a defect in SERVER.EXE which requires a new LOADER.EXE and LSWAP.EXE from Support Pack 6 or later to fix.
The fix is available for the non-DBCS languages at this time.
IBM is currently working with Novell to have NetWare J updated to include this fix as well.
For this defect, the customer should contact Novell support or visit the

Novell support web site http://support.novell.com

to obtain the support pack. This problem is not specific to any IBM server.
