The driver must be loaded once for each FCA2210 board in your system. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 LUNS Specifies to NetWare to scan for all luns during the load of this driver instance (otherwise NetWare will only scan for lun zero devices); the scanned lun number range is 0 to (n - 1) where n is specified by the /MAXLUNS=n option. This switch is required for multi-LUNstorage subsystems, for example, RAID subsystems. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS Disables failover and reports to NetWare all devices on all adapter paths; this allows upper layer modules to do failover across a Netware server's multiple adapters. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES Internally tracks devices by portname rather than nodename; this is required when storage luns do not have a 1:1 correspondence across portnames; this allows upper layer modules to do failover across a storage subsystem's multiple ports. For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTNAMES /MAXLUNS=n Set the maximum number of luns allowed during the lun scan; default is n=32. The range of luns searched is 0 to (n-1).For example: LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /MAXLUNS=332 37 STARTUP.NCFCopy the driver directory of the kit you downloaded to a diskette or to a 3.At the command prompt, enter the following command: 4.Choose Driver options from the main menu 5.Choose Configure disk and storage device drivers 6.Select an additional driver 7.Press INSERT to install an unlisted driver 9.Press ENTER to select the QL2300.HAM driver 10.If prompted, click Yes to copy the driver 38 Select/Modify Driver ParametersREADME.txt 13.Press F10 to save the parameter settings 14.Choose Save parameters and load driver to complete the NetWare setup 15.Exit the installation program Note: If ASPI support is required for the SCSI devices, you must load the NWASPI.CDM module, which is provided by Novell.
