Determining the Version of Replica to Install

Your HP SureStore CD contains two versions of Stac Replica for NetWare 4.2.
One version should be used on systems that are NWPA-based and the other
version should be used on systems that are DDFS-based. Before you attempt to
install Stac Replica on your NetWare 4.2 system you must determine which
version of Stac Replica you should install. If you install the wrong version,
Replica will not be able to detect the tape device and you will have to de-install
the installed version and then install the correct version.
You can determine whether your system is NWPA-based or DDFS-based by
examining the file extension for your system's disk device driver file. To do this,
view NetWare's STARTUP.NCF file and examine the LOAD statements that are
used to load the disk device driver. If the extension for the disk device driver file
is ".DSK" your system is a DDFS-based system. If the extension for the disk
device driver file is ".HAM", your system is a NWPA-based system.
To view the STARTUP.NCF file, from the NetWare console screen enter LOAD
INSTALL. The system will display the "Installation Options" screen. At the
"Installation Options" screen, highlight the "NCF file options" line and press
ENTER. At the "Available NCF Files Options" screen, highlight the "Edit
STARTUP.NCF file" line and press ENTER. Accept the default path displayed in
the "Specify a server boot path ..." window. The contents of the STARTUP.NCF
file should now be displayed.
