Ref: 04270032 Title: Ins and Outs of Upgrading from 3+ 1.0 to 1.1 Date: 11/06/86 Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991. All rights reserved. The upgrade process to 3+ 1.1 has been described as pretty painless, menu driven, with on-line help, having easier tuning capabilities and batch files to help when necessary. Here are a few technical considerations to know. Normal installation disks are used for Upgrade except for 4 special diskettes which are: .br;Upgrade 3+Share PC Server/File and Print (copy protected) .br;Upgrade 3+Share 3Server/File and Print (copy protected) .br;Upgrade 3+Mail Server (copy protected) .br;Upgrade 3+Route Server (copy protected) Name List and Share List databases will remain intact with no re-entering necessary. Your hard disk will not need to be reformatted with the rare exception of not having 512 Byte sectors on the boot disk. We do recommend you backup before and after the process. You will need the original 1.0 diskette for registration. The 1.0 disks should be saved even though you can't use them, you'll need them again if you de-install. Memory requirements should be similar to ver. 1.0, but may increase. If memory usage is already tight it is recommended to also purchase TurboShare and a Cache card or EMS board, especially for PC Servers. The ASCII .PRF files are obsoleted. We have optimized parameter libraries that can be used. If previous parameters are desired they can be re-entered just as the Route & Remote PRF information will have to be re-entered. The old files can be left or removed. Their are batch options to save old data to a Temporary directory and then delete it. If you choose to clear old 1.0 files any names that fit C3??????.EXE should be renamed. If multiple networks, domains and hops are used with Mail the Route.Prf Domain entries will have to be entered in the Name service allowing for better handling of returned mail. Route/ Remote will have another adjustable parameter that gets it space from Share /B Ether Start and 3+ Start can both reside on the same network.
