link status is restored. In this mode, the adapter cannot
be hot-swapped. Users with the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug
PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package installed
should check the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support
checkbox.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is
checked, traffic will remain on the secondary adapter
until the user directs it to return to the primary adapter.
This can be done after the hot-swap replacement of
the primary adapter or by using the DMI interface.
8. 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. In addition, if the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap
Support checkbox is checked, a DMI alert will also be
generated.
IntraNetWare:
1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the
instructions that are provided with the adapter.
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 on the
configuration of the 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
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:
v
The operating system console generates a message.
v
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.
Note:
If the primary adapter was hot-replaced while the
Ethernet traffic was being handled by the secondary
Ethernet controller, the traffic does not automatically
