Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller as the Primary NetWare 4.2 Controller

1.The appropriate drivers should be loaded before trying to access the non-disk devices. For example, to use NetWare's Sbackup utility, do the following:

:load mdac.ham

:load nwtape.cdm

:load tsa410

:load tapedai

:scan for new devices

:load sbackup

Except for the mdac.ham driver, .CDM or .NLM files are supplied by Novell. Refer to the Novell documentation for instructions on running Sbackup.

2.Load the following drivers to use a CD-ROM under NetWare 4.2 (the NLMs aspicd and cdrom are supplied by Novell):

:load mdac.ham

:load scsicd.cdm

:load cdrom.nlm

:cd mount [volume name]

After the CD-ROM is mounted, the volume on the CD-ROM can be mapped from any workstation and accessed.

Installing the Mylex Disk Array Controller into an Existing NetWare 4.2 System

If NetWare 4.2 is already installed and you wish to add a Mylex Disk Array Controller later, the controller will be a secondary (non-bootable) controller. After installing the controller hardware and configuring a disk array, follow the procedure below to add the necessary controller drivers.

1.With NetWare Server 4.2 loaded and running, load the NetWare program INSTALL.NLM by typing the following at the console prompt:

: load install

and press <Enter>.

2. Choose “Driver Options” in the Installation Options menu.
