Hi,

normally it is not hidden and if it shows it to you with modules libc*, then it MUST be there !

Ok, this is what I get when checking with m libc*:

1) Libc.nlm loaded from c:\nwserver. Adressspace=OS
2) Libc.nlm loaded from c:\nwserver. Adressspace=ADMINSRV

When I search for libc.nlm on the sysvolume - there is none. But I can copy this new file to both directorys and se what happens at reboot...?

Ok,

if you look with "search" on the console for the search paths, you see in which directorys the networker looks first to find files.

Its always the best to have the libc.nlm in c:\nwserver and in sys:system parallely in the same version at the same time.

So yes, pls copy it to both locations

Hi Andreas!
And thank you for your help! Now it works fine. One last question though - Regarding the patch LGTpa85075 and LGTpa85096. Do I need to put the LGTpa85075 patch in if I already have LGTpa85096?

[Novelli]

Hi Tobias,

yes, LGTpa85075 must be placed on top of LGTpa85096, nevertheless it has a lower number.

See readme inside

Cheers

Hi Novelli,

Concerming the libc.nlm in both directories. Novell advised us not to put it in sys:system.
This is there reply
Example, if you apply the latest Support Pack, and the search path is sys:system first, you'll get a "public symbol errors" (NLM Mismatch) and the module won't load, thus causing instability on the server.

Hi,
Ok I´ll try that at next backup.

The ASR does a reboot of the server each night.... (ASR detected by System ROM)... I have to deal with that as well.
The most obvious step is a biosupgrade, but I´ve seen som e people with problems regarding unexpected reboots along with ASR...

Best would be to disable asr for a night to see whats going on
