IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading to NJVM 1.4.2, you need to close the NetWare GUI and exit NJVM. You can do these tasks manually or have the upgrade process do them automatically. You select the options you want in Step 6 of the installation process.
We recommend that you complete the installation process during off-peak production times.
To install NJVM:
(Optional) Create a text file with a list of the servers that you want to connect to when installing NJVM.
This file must have only one server per line. For example,
MyServer1MyServer2.mydomain.com10.0.0.3 MyServer4
We recommend using IP addresses when connecting to servers over a WAN.
Run the NJVM self-extracting executable file on the client workstation.
This expands the archive and launches the InstallShield installation script.
On the Welcome page, click Next.
Accept the License Agreement.
This opens the Installation Options page.
On the Installation Options page, select one of the following options:
On the Select Options screen, select one, both, or neither of the following options:
If you are not connected to the tree that contains the servers in your list, a login screen appears. You need to log in only once for each tree represented in your server file.
Connecting to all servers listed in the text file does not mean that NJVM will install to all the servers. In Step 8 of this installation, you select the target servers you want to install on.
On the Installation Requirements page, review the installation prerequisites, then click Next.
On the Destination Servers for Installation page, select the servers you want to install NJVM on, then click Next.
If java.nlm is still loaded, an alert screen appears.
(Conditional) If an alert screen appears, close the NetWare GUI, unload the specified files from the specified servers, then click Next.
NOTE: If you attempt to install an earlier version of NJVM than is currently on your servers, a Not An Upgrade warning appears. The options Yes and No apply to the server specified in the warning. The options Yes to All and No to All apply to all servers.
The installation displays a progress bar.
The installation process copies the java.zip file to the destination servers and unzips the file on each server.
When the installation is complete, a results page displays. This page lists the installation errors, servers that need to be rebooted, and servers that installed successfully. The information can also be found in c:\temp\InstallShieldLogs\njvm_server_install.log. For more installation information, refer to the sequential log file (njvm_log.txt) in the same directory.
Reboot your servers if necessary.
NOTE: If any problems occur with the GUI after you upgrade to NJVM 1.4.2, enter stopx at the system console and run VESA_RSP. This resets the GUI to the default settings.
