Installing OS2 Fixpack 32
NOTE: If your ServerGuide does not have a Fixpack CD or you have no ServerGuide, call 1-800-426-7282 for an upgrade (proof of IBM server purchase required). Otherwise, refer to IBM Personal Software Products' web site at http://ps.software.ibm.com to download the latest fixpacks (follow the instructions for installing these packages).
1. Insert the ServerGuide CD labeled Fixpack in the CD ROM. Open an OS2 command prompt and change into the \OS2 directory. Run fixpinst.
2. Choose the appropriate language by number and press Enter.
3. A graphical window appears. Click OK. The system is now inspected.
4. Ensure all serviceable components are highlighted. An Archive path needs to be entered to back up existing files for each component. Each component line requires its own entered archive directory.
NOTE: The graphical upgrade program does not create these directories. It is looking for them to already be on the hard drive. Open a command prompt and create them using the MKDIR command. Example: MKDIR C:\Archive\Multimedia for the multimedia component - when the directory is created, enter C:\Archive\Multimedia in the archive path in the graphical program. Now it will accept the directory and continue when Service is clicked.
5. Follow the on-screen directions. Instruct the program to overwrite (continue) for any file name or driver it questions. After file copy is complete, shut down OS2 and reboot. After boot, the system unlocks locked files. The fixpack installation is now complete.
