Installation Notes 2  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 Follow the instruction contained in the WKICKR.TXT file to create the Corrective Service Facility disks. Label them as: CSF DISK Diskette 1 (SP DISK 1) CSF DISK Diskette 2 (SP DISK 2) CREATING FIXPAK DISKETTES Use LOADDSKF.EXE to create the diskettes. For each disk image, place a 2MB HD (1.44MB formatted) diskette in A:. Warning: DO NOT use a 1MB (720KB formatted) diskette because you might have problems trying to install this FixPak. For each diskette image in the FixPak, do the following: Enter LOADDSKF WR_FF01.DSK A: /F Label the diskette as FixPak WR_FF01 Corrective Service Diskette 1 (CSF DISK 1) Installation Notes 3  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 RELOCATED OS/2 FILE SUPPORT This FixPak will service directories based on the location of the SYSLEVEL.EPW file. Please check your system to make sure extra copies of this file are not located in directories other than: \OS2\SYSLEVEL.EPW on the boot drive of your OS/2 partition(s) If additional copies of this file are found in other locations on your hard disk then CSF will try to service files as follows: For SYSLEVEL.EPW ..\..\ all files in a directory two levels above (toward the root). This should be the root directory of your boot drive. ..\* all files in a directory one level above (toward the root) and all subdirectories below. This should be the OS2 directory and subdirectories. Relocated OS/2 file support 4  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 INSTALLATION PROCESS BEFORE INSTALLATION Before installing any OS/2 FixPak, run CHKDSK /F against all drives on your system to correct any file system errors that might be present. You cannot do this while OS/2 is active. You must shut down and run CHKDSK by one of the following methods: þ Boot from your Installation and DISK 1 diskettes you used to install OS/2 with. If your file system is HPFS, then put the diskette with CHKDSK and UHPFS.DLL on it in your A: drive before issuing the CHKDSK command. þ Boot from the Utilities disk you created via the "Create Utility Diskettes" icon in the System Setup folder. þ Boot from a different OS/2 partition. METHOD 1: INSTALL FROM BOOTED OS/2 PARTITION. This method allows you to select the products (partitions) to be serviced. This is the method you should use if you have more than one OS/2 partition and want to control which one is serviced. Note: You can use a diskette drive other than A: with this method. If your 3.5" diskette drive is B:, use B: where A: is mentioned in the following steps. (this method only). 1. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A. 2. Open an OS/2 window or full-screen session. 3. Type A:\SERVICE and press the Enter key. Note: You could also use the "Drives" object for A: and double click on the "SERVICE.EXE" Icon to start the install. 4. Follow the displayed instructions. When prompted to insert Corrective Service Diskette 1 (not CSF DISK Diskette 1), place FixPak WR_FF01 Corrective Service Diskette 1 in drive A. Repeat for the rest of the FixPak disks when requested to do so. Note: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases, it has taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to complete. 5. If this is the first FFST/2 For OS/2 you have applied to this system, then enter the path to the ARCHIVE directory where a copy of replaced file(s) will be stored (for example, D:\ARCHIVE). Installation Process 5  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 Note: This ARCHIVE directory is not related to the ARCHIVES directory built into the OS/2 Base Operating System. Please specify a different path. If this is not the first FFST/2 For OS/2 FixPak, then enter the path to the BACKUP directory where a copy of replaced file(s) will be stored (for example, D:\BACKUP). For either case, make sure there is sufficient space available on the drive you specify. You will need 20k bytes of space. 6. Click on "OK". 7. You will see an "Application in use" dialog box showing a list of locked files that cannot be serviced while the system is running. You are given two choices - to Continue or Reboot. Select Continue. 8. During the installation process you might see messages about Archiving, Updating and Deferring service. þ Archiving saves a compressed copy of the original file in the ARCHIVE or BACKUP path you specified. This occurs only if you apply service to the OS/2 partition you are booted from. þ Updating means the original files are replaced with the new ones from this FixPak. þ Deferring service means the file to be updated is currently in use by the system and cannot be updated. The new files from the FixPak are placed in unpacked format in the \OS2\INSTALL\IBMCSFLK\FIX directory on your Warp boot drive. They are processed by the locked file device driver during reboot after you shut down the system. 9. Select NO for a redisplay of the "Product List" after the first part of the FixPak application process has completed if this message is displayed. 10. Click Cancel and Exit to close the Corrective Service Facility window if necessary. 11. Shut down and reboot your system. You will see the following during reboot of the system if you applied service to the OS/2 partition you were booted from. The locked file driver is loaded. Processing locked files Processing complete The system might then do an automatic reboot. In some cases, it might do an additional reboot. Installation Process 6  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 METHOD 2: BOOT FROM CORRECTIVE SERVICE DISK 1. This method does not prompt the user for any information. No interaction with the user takes place other than requests to put the next diskette in drive A. All serviceable partitions on your system will be updated automatically. Be especially careful of extra SYSLEVEL.OS2 or SYSLEVEL.MPM files when using this method because they can cause CSF to apply service to directories you do not want serviced. 1. Shut down your OS/2 system. 2. Insert CSF DISK Diskette 1 in drive A. 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to boot the disk in drive A. Service will be applied to ALL partitions that contain a version of OS/2 that is supported by this FixPak. See the section "FixPak Corrective Service Notes" for the CSD levels this FixPak applies to. Note: It can take a considerable length of time for the Corrective Service Facility to scan your hard disk for serviceable files. In some cases it has taken as long as 40 minutes. Please be patient and allow this process to complete. ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FACILITY INFORMATION Additional information on the Corrective Service Facility is available from the README.INF file on the first Corrective Service Facility disk. To view this file, place CSF disk 1 in drive A and enter VIEW A:\README.INF. Installation Process 7  February 6, 1997 - Warp FixPak WR_FF01 CSD LEVEL OF SYSLEVEL.EPW The Current CSD level for the "FFST/2 For OS/2" will not be changed by installation of this FixPak even though the SERVICE.LOG file states it will. This FixPak is not a Service Level change. It upgrades the existing service level (WR00530); therefore the SYSLEVEL is not changed. All fix information is recorded in the SERVICE.LOG file.
