Novell recommends applying NetWare 5.1 SP5 or higher before applying this patch.
This patch MAY work on earlier NetWare 5.1 support pack releases, however, as stated above no testing has been performed on these. The earliest support pack supported in conjunction with this patch is SP4.
Please note: You must have previously installed or upgraded to the full install of eDirectory 8.5.1 (International Version) - DS.NLM 85.12a found in the product file EDIR851.EXE. This patch should not be applied to the first shipping version, 85.01r. This patch MAY work on other support pack releases, however, be aware that Novell did not test this patch with past releases.
This repair will add languageid schema extensions to your server. To prevent any 603 errors it is recommended that this repair be first run on a Read-Write or Master of root.
Do not try to apply on NDS 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 86.x, 87.x or NetWare 4.x/6.x servers.

UPGRADE TO NDS 85.x USING THE FULL INTERNATIONAL VERSION THEN APPLY
THIS PATCH.
******** NOTE ********
THERE IS NO DOWNGRADE PATH FROM THIS VERSION!!! (Prior to eDirectory 85.12d)
******** NOTE ********
As with all patches, take standard precautionary disaster recovery steps. This includes loading DSREPAIR -RC which will create a file called SYS:\SYSTEM\DSR_DIB\00000000.$DU. This file contains a backup of the Directory Services database. Copy this file off to a different location so that it is not overwritten by a subsequent "dsrepair -rc".
1. Copy the patch (FDS8530.EXE) to a directory on the server being patched. (ie SYS:\PATCHES)
2. From a workstation, run the executable.
3. Install the minimum recommended support pack, NW 5.1 SP5, if it is not yet installed. NW 5.1 SP5 is the recommended and tested support pack for the NetWare 5.1 platform. Also apply the full install of eDirectory 8.5.1 (85.12a) edir851.exe available from http://support.novell.com if at version 85.01r (Original shipping version). (Please note that at the time of this TID eDirectory 85.x has been discontinued. This patch is only for those customers already running 85.x on their servers and wish to have the latest code).
4. Run NWCONFIG.NLM from the server console prompt.
5. Go to Product Options
6. Go to install a product not listed
7. Hit F3 to specify a different path
8. Specify the path were the patch was extracted (i.e. SYS:\PATCHES). NOTE: You are looking for the directory where the DS8.IPS file is located.
9. Press ENTER and follow the prompts. During the installation, the server's schema will be extended.
(Refer to the Issue section for more information.)
10. After the installation, you must RESET the server in order for the new version of DSLOADER.NLM to load. Either completely down (using the DOWN command) the server and bring it back up or at the console prompt type RESET SERVER and allow the server to reboot.
11. You should then observe that DS v85.30 loads on the server.
** NOTE 1 ** A backup of the original files will be located at SYS:SYSTEM\OLDDS for disaster recovery.
** NOTE 2 ** To restore the original static memory settings (not recommended, performance degradation my occur), the file SYS:SYSTEM\OLDDS\_NDSDB.INI can be edited from any text editor. Take note of the information in the file. These are your old settings. Re-apply the settings by executing a "set dstrace=!m[values]" (see DS documentation on specific context)
