Re: EXTREME EMERGENCY! - FSIOP DEAD AFTER V4R5 UPGRADE

[neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Patrick,

I presume you have a copy of the V4R5 Memo To Users around somewhere ?  (Shipped with the software upgrade, and also available via IBM's Support web sites, or via SNDPTFORD SF98056).  See also Informational APAR II11689 (SNDPTFORD II11689).
It's water under the bridge now, but this is must reading before any upgrade.  See the section refering to this in the Memo To Users.
If your only LAN attachment was via the FSIOP you can create a BASE *NWSD and line to get your LAN connection back - then you need to get the files back to a directory in IFS and use NetServer to gain access:

Hi 

I screwed up big time!  I upgraded 0S400 to v4r5m0 last night.  I 
didn't realize that this release doesn't support the OS/2 version of 
the LAN server FSIOP.  (CRTNWSD  TYPE(*LANSERVER))  I've got the 2850 
file server IOA. 
                                  

I have backup copies of the data using the SAV DEV(&IFSDEV) 
OBJ(('/QLANSRV/NWS/SERVER01/DSK')) method.  This command just backs up 
the storage spaces and doesn't allow you to restore files just the 
entire space. 
What are my choices? 

1. Degrade from OS400 V4r5 to v4r4?  What kind of problems will this 
cause? 

2. Find someone with a similar configurationto mine before I upgraded 
and get the files restored? 
3. Find another job? 


Thanx, PLA
