3.2 Enhancement Pack ?'s
Joe K. Bales
opened it yet unitl I make sure it is the correct thing I need.
Can I apply this enhancement the 3.12 server and make the server Y2K OK?
The H/W is Y2K Compliant
I assume that with this Pack I do not need to load any other CLIB or Patches
am I correct of do I need to run something before the 3.2 Enahancemt?
Does this bacially upgrade the 3.12 server to 3.2 or just enough to make it
Y2K OK.
Has anyone done this before on here and if so what problems if any can I
expect and what is the time frame to do this.
Also the Server does not have a CD-ROM . I assume the proper way to install
this patch is to copy the contents of the cdrom from a workstation into a
temp directory and run the patch from there. Any thoughts on this?
thanks

Sort of. But there have been some patches to 3.2 released :(

Just enough. In fact it will still say its a 3.12 server.

10 mins and no problems unless you have mac name space support

You can use a workstation's CD and use rconsole.

Just to clarify - the patches to 3.2 should be applied after you
complete the upgrade. You shouldn't need to do anything before
applying the "base" 3.2 OS.

There won't be a problem with OS2.NAM but there is a major issue with
MAC.NAM. There is no warning on the box or in the instructions (or at
least there wasn't), but installing the enhancement pack has the same
result on your volumes as applying the MAC.NAM patch. If you apply the
patch, the instructions say you need to delete your volume, apply the
patch and then re-create your volume. The enhancement pack doesn't
mention this.
The result: If you have MAC.NAM and apply the enhancement pack you
probably won't be able to mount your volume afterwards - and this has
happened in every case I've seen. The only work around is to copy the
old MAC.NAM from the original 3.12 install disks...
