Using the SCSISelect Utility Program
5. Check the Grouping box. This will show the possible combinations for
redundant pairs.
6. Select the adapter pair you want and then select OK. Note that the integrated
Ethernet controller is located at PCI bus 0, slot 9.
7. Select Close to exit from the Network setup.
When you restart the server, the failover function will be in effect.
If a failover occurs, a message is written to the NT Event Viewer log. If the DMI
instrumentation code for the integrated Ethernet controller is active (PCNET.EXE
was run), a pop-up message is generated also.
Configuring Failover on IntraNetWare
1. Install the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with
the adapter and in “Installing or Removing Adapters” on page 50.
2. Load the device driver by using the following command:
LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=x SECONDARY=y
where
d
and
path
are the drive and path where the driver is located, and
x
and
y
are the PCI slot numbers where the redundant pair is located.
The slot number associated with the integrated Ethernet controller can vary
depending upon the configuration of the Netfinity 5000 server. To determine
the slot number, load the driver with no parameters. The driver will display the
available slot numbers. The slot number that is greater that 10000 will be the
slot number of the integrated Ethernet controller. When the slot number of the
integrated Ethernet controller is determined, reload the driver with the
appropriate parameters.
3. When the driver is loaded, bind it to a protocol stack.
The failover function is now enabled. If a failover occurs:
A message is generated to the operating system console.
The custom counters for the device driver contain variables that define the
state of the failover function and the location of the redundant pair. You can
use the NetWare Monitor to view the custom counters.
Using the SCSISelect Utility Program
Your server comes with a menu-driven configuration utility program, called
SCSISelect, that you can use to view and change SCSI settings.
You can use the SCSISelect Utility program to:
View and change the device configuration
Perform a low-level format or verify the media on a SCSI hard disk drive.
