All of the OS/2 and eComStation tools can be installed from the vmtools.iso
CD image. Network drivers can also be installed from the floppy disk image file vmtools.fdd
during operating system installation. The latter is easier in most cases.
Before starting the installation you should connect the CD-ROM image with Parallels Tools to your virtual machine CD-ROM drive. Do the following:
Mouse Synchronization Tool Installation
The Mouse Synchronization Tool consists of the mouse driver and the video filter.
Note: To install the Mouse Synchronization Tool you should have a VESA video driver installed, such as SDD or GENGRADD. For instructions on how to do this refer to OS/2 documentation.
To install the mouse tool:
INSTALL.CMD
batch file. The INSTALL.CMD
copies files and makes necessary modifications to the CONFIG.SYS
file.Note: The Mouse Synchronization Tool increases performance of the guest OS/2 operating system under Citrix.
Clipboard Synchronization Tool Installation
In OS/2 and eComStation you must launch the Clipboard Synchronization Tool manually. This tool is not a tool itself but an ordinary application, and should be treated as such. If you want the Clipboard Synchronization tool to start automatically when your guest operating system is started:
PrlClip.exe
into autostart group (startup.cmd
file or another file as it is done in your operating system).The Clipboard Synchronization Tool is located in the ClipBrd\OS2 directory on the CD-ROM containing Parallels Tools.
Sound Driver Installation
Note: Before installing the Sound Driver you should have multimedia support installed in OS/2 guest OS.
To install the Sound Driver:
Network Driver Installation
Below we consider the installation of the Realtek RTL8029 driver inside the OS/2 Warp version 4.0.
<CD-ROM drive>\Drivers\Network\RTL8029\NDIS2OS2
Are you sure you want to change this network adapter?
" is displayed. After you click OK, the RTL8029 PCI Ethernet Adapter appears in the appropriate field of the Current Configuration section of the window. Now if you click Edit in the Current Configuration section of the window, you will see that you do not need to configure any this driver properties, because it is self-configurable.
