I have a bunch of servers that run Brightstor / Arcserve for NetWare. O/S is NW6.5 and Arcserve is 11.1. At one of the sites, when Arcserve loads, it gets to a warning concernning the version of Btrieve and pauses and waits for the enter key to be pressed before entering. I have seen this before but have forgotten the fix. I checked the CAI website but can't find the fix there anymore.
Anyone else have the issue and know how to make it ignore warnings when loading?
 
I will have to wait until the server is restarted to get the message, A Novell server, could be some time.
 
Here is entry from CSLOADER.LOG, note the big time gap. I beleive this was when it was waiting for manual intervention to get it to continue to load.

That warning comes up on every server no matter what and does not delay loading.

The problem seems to be loading dsapi.nlm - a Novell module which seems to take time to realise it's already loaded.

Although I haven't be actively involved in NetWare for a couple of years now, I'd venture from a quick google search there are many documented problems related to dsapi and clib.

You can also try updating your ARCserve installation to SP2:


It may or may not help, but you will be on the latest version then.
