Managed Driver Upgrade for Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000

Managed Driver Upgrade is a package you can download from the IBM Token-Ring PCI Family Adapter Web site that assists local users and system administrators in upgrading their systems to the latest level of the driver. The package consists of the new driver, all necessary support files, and an executable program that can upgrade the driver without any user intervention.

Managed Driver Upgrade can be run locally by the user, or remotely by a system administrator using management software such as Tivoli TME(R) 10 Software Distribution.

Running Managed Driver Upgrade locally

To run the Managed Driver Upgrade locally, perform the following procedure.

Download the correct package for your operating system.
Run the package and extract all the files to a single directory such as c:\temp.
If you are using Windows NT 4.0, log in using a user ID with administrator privileges.
Open a DOS or command window.
Run the Managed Driver Upgrade executable. The name of the executable is TRMDU98.EXE for Windows 98, TRMDU00.EXE for Windows 2000, and TRMDUNT.EXE for Windows NT 4.0.

Enter the following command line options as needed. Refer to the following table.

Table 3. Managed Driver Upgrade command line options

Option Explanation
/boot=[y,n] The adapter needs to be rebooted before the upgrade takes effect. The Managed Driver Upgrade executable can force the system to reboot after it completes. Set /boot=y if you want the system to reboot. Set /boot=n if you do not want the system to reboot. The default is /boot=y.
/down=[y,n] There are times when you might want to revert to a previous version of a driver. Set /down=y in these cases. Set /down=n to prevent an older driver from being accidentally installed over a newer driver. The default is /down=n. Windows NT 4.0 does not support this option.
/file=[y,n] Controls the logging ability of the Managed Driver Upgrade executable. /file=y will generate a log file in the same directory where the executable resides. /file=n suppresses logging. The default is /file=y
/name=[XXXXXXXX.XXX] Customizes the name of the log file. The name can be any valid Windows filename. The default name is MYOUT.DAT.

Option	Explanation
/boot=[y,n]	The adapter needs to be rebooted before the upgrade takes effect. The Managed Driver Upgrade executable can force the system to reboot after it completes. Set /boot=y if you want the system to reboot. Set /boot=n if you do not want the system to reboot. The default is /boot=y.
/down=[y,n]	There are times when you might want to revert to a previous version of a driver. Set /down=y in these cases. Set /down=n to prevent an older driver from being accidentally installed over a newer driver. The default is /down=n. *Windows NT 4.0 does not support this option.*
/file=[y,n]	Controls the logging ability of the Managed Driver Upgrade executable. /file=y will generate a log file in the same directory where the executable resides. /file=n suppresses logging. The default is /file=y
/name=[XXXXXXXX.XXX]	Customizes the name of the log file. The name can be any valid Windows filename. The default name is MYOUT.DAT.

For example, to execute on Windows 98, log to a file called TRMDU.LOG, and reboot after completion, enter the following on the command line:

TRMDU98 /boot=y /file=y /name=TRMDU.LOG

Running Managed Driver Upgrade remotely

To run the Managed Driver Upgrade from a remote location using management software, perform the following procedure.

Download the correct package for the operating system to the management server.
Run the package and extract all the files to a single directory.
Repackage the files according to the specifics of the management software.
Follow the directions included with the management software to schedule an update. During the update, all the files in the package are typically pushed to the client, and the executable is started. The command line options for the executable described in Table 3 can typically be passed to the executable by the management software.

The Managed Driver Upgrade should be completely transparent to the user. The log file generated by Managed Driver Update will be stored in a directory designated by the management software. Refer to the management software for details on how to locate this directory.
