EncryptionLicenseRead Environment Variable

Transcend Enterprise Manager for Windows Upgrade Manager and Transcend Enterprise Manager for UNXI Upgrade Manager 4.2.x will not allow you to upgrade 3Com NETBuilder bridge/routers with encryption technology unless you set the EncryptionLicenseRead environment variable to 1. Setting this variable implies that you have read and agree to the export regulations enforced by the US Department of Commerce. This environment variable can be set by executing or adding the following line to the autoexec.bat or .login file:

set EncryptionLicenseRead=1

Notes

bcmdiagnose Error When you execute bcmdiagnose on HP-UX and the TFTP server is configured to Message use the Safe Directory method, the error message “No TFTP user found in

/etc/passwd. You must add an entry” can be ignored.

Installation of a new version of the Remote Upgrade Utilities onto a UNIX NMS saves an existing /usr/3Com/bcmutil.conf, into /etc/3Com/bcmutil.conf.backup. This file is used by the Transcend Enterprise Manager for UNIX (TEM/U). If a user has made modifications to this file, they must either restore their original file or add the changes to the new file.

If you are using the Remote Upgrade Utilities in stand-alone mode or with the Transcend Enterprise Manager for UNIX (TEM/U), you can specify SNMP community strings of different devices in /etc/snmp.cfg file. More information about the snmp.cfg file can be found in the help pages (file://usr/3Com/bcm/gui/hlp/bcm-intro.html).

SuperStack II NETBuilder If SuperStack II NETBuilder systems that are running software version 8.3 have a Token Ring Upgrades boot image named “bundle.68K,” the SuperStack II NETBuilder Token Ring system

is not upgradeable to software version 11.4 unless the sys file is present on the flash drive. To work around this, either rename the image to “boot.68k,” or copy the 8.3 sys file to the primary boot directory on the NETBuilder bridge/router.

bcmdiagnose and HP-UXIf you are using HP-UX and have difficulties passing the tftp portion of bcmdiagnose, you may need to modify the /etc/passwd file. Follow the instructions printed during bcmsetup. You may need to add the following line to the /etc/passwd file:

tftp::510:200:,,,:/tftpboot:/bin/false

See the HP-UX tftpd man page for more information.

bcmfdinteg Read the following warning regarding the bcmfdinteg utility.

WARNING: Do not use the bcmfdinteg utility. The bcmfdinteg utility is used internally by the bcminstall utility. The bcmfdinteg utility should not be used by itself, because by default it removes all files from the current directory.
