Title:  Fix Mounting of CD-ROMs on Novell NetWare Server
Version:  2.61

CATEGORY:  Drivers / Miscellaneous

EFFECTIVE DATE:  29 Mar 96

PRODUCTS AFFECTED:  Any Compaq server with a SMART controller

OPERATING SYSTEM:  Novell NetWare 3.X or 4.X

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:  Running NetWare with CPQDSKSA.NLM version 2.50 or 2.60 loaded

DESCRIPTION:  This contains an updated version (2.61) of CPQDSKSA.NLM that fixes a problem under versions 2.50 or 2.60 where CD-ROMs failed to mount when CPQDSKSA.NLM was loaded.  CD-ROMs would usually mount when CPQDSKSA.NLM was unloaded, but some users reported that they had to rebuild or purge the CD-ROM indexes before the CD-ROM would mount.  This problem is characterized by the following error messages.

When attempting to mount the CD-ROM:
CDROM-4.10-025: ERROR:
    Volume could NOT be mounted.

When unloading CPQDSKSA.NLM:
     Module did not release 1 resource
     Module: Compaq Insight Storage Subsystem Ag
     Resource: Disk Devices
     Description: Disk Drive Locks

At times, this message appears:
     Module did not release 80 resources
     Module: Compaq Insight Storage Subsystem Ag
     Resource: Small memory allocations
     Description: Alloc Memory (Bytes)

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is SP1497.EXE.

2.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:
SP1497 [ENTER]
The following files should be created:
CPQDSKSA.NLM 
SP1497.DOC

3.  After the files are created, you may delete the downloaded file SP1497.EXE if you wish.

4. Copy the file CPQDSKSA.NLM to your NetWare server's system directory, usually called sys:system\ 

5. From the NetWare server prompt enter:
unload cpqdsksa
A message stating that module cpqdsksa.nlm was unloaded should appear. 
Next enter:
load cpqdsksa
From the resulting message, verify that version 2.61 is loaded.
