abstract

iChain 2.3 Support Pack 5 Interim Release 4 version 2.3.410 This file contains updates for services contained in the iChain 2.3 product. iChain 2.3 SP1 (build 2.3.257) or later is a pre-requisite. The purpose of the patch is to provide a bundle of enhancements and fixes for issues that have surfaced since iChain 2.3 Support Pack 5a was released.

details

PREREQUISITE: Verify that iChain is patched to version 2.3.257 or later prior to installing this OTWUG (Over-The-Wire-UpGrade).

RECOMMENDATION: Test thoroughly in an environment that mirrors the production environment prior to deployment.

ic23sp5ir4.zip is a ZIP file that will extract into three files:

1. readme.html is the readme for the patch.
2. ic23sp5ir4.zip: OTWUG (Over The Wire UpGrade).
3. ic23sp5ir4.txt: OTWUG INSTALL FILE.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR THIS OTWUG:

This OTWUG will NOT upgrade an iChain 2.2 server to iChain 2.3.
Ensure that you are running iChain 2.3 SP1 (2.3.257) or later before
applying this patch.

NCPIP.NLM
For security reasons, C:/NWSERVER/NCPIP.NLM is renamed to NCPIP.OLD.
If login to the iChain server is desired copy NCPIP.OLD to NCPIP.NLM
and future OTWUGS will not keep re-naming the file. Or, load
C:/NWSERVER/NCPIP.OLD in the SYS:/SYSTEM/TUNE.NCF file.

OAC.PROPERTIES
When you install this support pack, any OLAC custom plug-ins will be
overwritten. To avoid this issue, back up your oac.properties file
before installing this support pack, then copy the file back over
once the support pack is successfully installed. If you have not
modified the file previously, skip this step.

APPSTART.NCF
Make note of any customized load lines in appstart.ncf prior to
applying the patch. Do NOT include "load logevent" and "load lcache"
if they appear in your current file.

MESSAGES.CFG will be updated.

TELNET will be disabled by default for security reasons.
If TELNET is used for administrative purposes you will need to
re-enable it after applying this patch. Import the TELNETON
configuration file from the ADMIN GUI under the
System | Import/Export tab.


Installing ic23sp5ir4.zip:

1) Verify the iChain server is at version 2.3.257 or later before installing
this Support Pack.
2) Back-up all configuration files and third-party certificates.
a. If the iChain server has a cloned drive (multiple drives), a clone
update should be preformed prior to the upgrade, or
b. Export the CURRENT.NAS, TUNE.NCF, APPSTART.NCF, MESSAGES.CFG (if
customized), any third-party certificates, and any other customized
login pages or files to floppy for backup purposes. Remove the floppy.
Also see the "Using the Enhanced Configuration Export" section of the
online iChain Administration Guide for advanced export options.
3) Copy ic23sp5ir4.zip & ic23sp5ir4.txt to a directory on a Web
Server that can be accessed by the iChain appliance and a workstation that
will run the iChain Appliance Configuration GUI.
4) Temporarily disable all accelerators or block public traffic.
5) If "Allow administration from specified clients" has been configured, add
the IP address of the iChain server to the list.
6) Modify the URL line in the ic23sp5ir4.txt file so that it contains the
appropriate path/URL to the ic23sp5ir4.zip file. Example: If the zip
file was placed at the default/root directory of a Web Server with the IP
address 10.10.10.1 then change url=http://**location**/ic23sp5ir4.zip
to url=http://10.10.10.1/ic23sp5ir4.zip.
7) In the Appliance Configuration GUI under System | Upgrade | Install from
URL, put in the matching URL to the .txt file. Using the example above:
http://10.10.10.1/ic23sp5ir4.txt. NOTE: Point to the .txt installation
file, not the .zip file.
8) Check the "Enable download" and "Enable install" boxes.
9) Specify times to begin the download and install.
10) Click on "Apply". Allow 10 to 15 minutes (and several re-boots) to
complete the process.
