Upgrading netware 4.10 to netware 4.11

Not much at Novell anymore, but check out TID 10010800 at:

It has been a long time since 4.1 days, but I believe it is an upgrade that requires a new license, And of course Novell isn't offering anything that old. You might try EBay.

If you are up for it, make full backup or better two and try updating to NW411SP9 an see if it will run.

During those days Novell was doing it's best to confuse everyone, still are. They had netWare 4.11 NetWare 4.12 and IntraNetWare 4.11 basically all the same.

good Luck, Please report back whether successful or not.

That probably won't work.

My guess is he had a gigabit card that requires NWPA archtecture(.lan .ldi drivers).I don't think 4.10 supported NWPA out of the box.

He needs to download the following file from Novell nwpaup1a.exe and do this:

INSTALLING ON NETWARE VERSIONS 4.10/4.11
(Note these files have only been tested and certified for use on the NetWare 4.11 platform. They have not been tested on a NetWare 4.10 system.)

1. Create the directory C:\UPDATE.
2. Copy the files contained in this download's "\COMMON" and "\4X" directories to C:\UPDATE.
3. Edit the STARTUP.NCF file by entering the following line:
load c:\update\nwpaload.nlm

These should be added after any "set" parameters, but before any "load" statements, then save the file.

Maybe someone else can give you more productive advise. All I can say is that the Netware 4.XX environment is not supported by Novell any more. At a minimum you will have to upgrade your 4.10 network to the 5.X version. Sorry I can not help much more.

I hate to tell you this Jayesh, but it requires an upgrade of the license that Novell no longer has or supports. I would suggest you try any number of online auctions or some of the disposal sites to get a 4.11 license disk.
