If you are installing Novell BorderManager 3.8 and then upgrading to NBM3.8 SP2 rightaway and want to use the VPN services, you need to copy the appropriate domestic versions of TCP/IP nlms from Novell BorderManager 3.8 Companion CD. The latest patch of TCP/IP nlms can be downloaded from Novell Support Connection Web sites mentioned in Section 4.0.
NOTE: For NetWare 6 SP3 or later and NetWare 6.5 or later the nlms are part of the latest NetWare support pack. For NetWare 5.1 SP6 or later download the appropriate TCP/IP patch from Novell Support Connection Web sites mentioned in Section 4.0.
If you are installing Novell BorderManager 3.8 SP2 on any version of NetWare and want to use the VPN services, you need to install the latest NMAS server side patches. If the NetWare version is NetWare 6 or NetWare 6.5 the latest NMAS patch is available with the latest Consolidated Support Pack (for NetWare 6 and NetWare 6.5). If the version is NetWare 5.1 you will need to download the NMAS patch specific to this platform from the Novell Support Connection Web sites mentioned in Section 4.0.
If you choose to back up while installing NBM 3.8 SP2, the backed up files will be available at the directory sys:\system\BM38SP2.BAK.
You can restore the system to its previous state (with respect to NBM 3.8 SP2 installation) by choosing to install from the backup directory (sys:\system\bm38SP2.bak). The BM38SP2 entry would then be removed from the products database.
