abstract
This update allows NFS Gateway to run with (and only with) NSS version 3.26a (from N65NSS7A.ZIP). It also contains various abend fixes.
details
Overview:
NFS Gateway is closely tied to NSS. Whenever NSS is updated, NFS Gateway must be updated as well. This NFS Gateway update providees compatibility with NSS 3.26a, from the download known as N65NSS7A.ZIP
System Requirements:
This update is intended for use only if these precise support packs / updates are in use:
NetWare 6.5 SP7
NFS Gateway SP5
N65NSS7A.ZIP
Installation:
1. Verify the current NSS information with the console command "NSS MODULES". Assuming the system has been rebooted since N65NSS7A.ZIP was installed, the NSS module versions should report 3.26a and the snap dates should show 20080930. The NFSGY.NLM included in this download will only function with these versions and snap dates.
2. In SYS:SYSTEM, rename the following .NLM files to .SP5 (or other desired name).
NFSGY.NLM
GYMOUNT.NLM
GYUMOUNT.NLM
3. Copy the 3 *.NLM files supplied in this download to SYS:SYSTEM.
4. It is unlikely that NFS Gateway is already running, but if in doubt, execute GYSTOP.NCF or UNLOAD NFSGY.NLM. (This will dismount any NFS Gateway volumes that are currently active.)
5. Execute GYSTART.NCF.
Issues:
1. After installing NSS update N65NSS7A.ZIP, if this NFS Gateway update is not present, NFSGY.NLM will fail to load, and the following messages appear on the logger screen.
NSS
The module "NFS GATEWAY" has an invalid version number of 3.26. It should be 3.26a.
Load the version displayed on the screen.
9901:Could not initialize NFS Gateway. For more information refer to Error Messages chapter of NFS Gateway Administration Guide.
The NFSGY.NLM provided in this download has an internal NSS version of 3.24b to eliminate this problem.
2. Fixed various NFS Gateway CPU Hog abends, especially dealing with NSS Spinlock problems.
3. Fixed an NFS Gateway abend which could occur on multiprocessor systems, stating:
Attempt to funnel inside an MP Fast WTD
Uninstalling:
If this update needs to be removed, delete SYS:SYSTEM\NFSGY.NLM, GYMOUNT.NLM, and GYUMOUNT.NLM. Then return the 3 modules saved in installation step #2 above to their normal names.
