Using WSUPGRDE to Upgrade Network Board Drivers

The WSUPGRD utility upgrades the IPX LAN drivers on the client

workstations to the corresponding ODI LAN drivers, either at the command

line or from a login script.

Upgrading IPX LAN Drivers from the Command Line

Prerequisites

Before you load WSUPGRD, ensure that

• The files that are copied to the client workstation reside in the same directory as

the WSUPGRD utility (the default is SYS:PUBLIC)

• Each client workstation you want to upgrade files on has a drive mapped to

SYS:PUBLIC

Procedure

1 Copy the new files to the SYS:PUBLIC directory.

2 Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory.

For example, if you mapped network drive G: to PUBLIC, type

G: <Enter>

3 Change to the drive and directory that the client workstation boots from.

For example, if the client workstation boots from drive C:, type

C: <Enter>

4 Load WSUPGRD and specify the type of LAN driver.

For example, you might type

WSUPGRD NE2000 <Enter>

Upgrading IPX LAN Drivers from a Login Script or Profile
