Implementation

•odineb.nlm - This is a module combining the Open Data-link interface and the Novell Event Bus (NEB). The NEB controls the device drivers through the Open Data-link.

If the NetWare installation process determines that the server supports PCI Hot Plug and detects the appropriate driver, the installation process adds the following two LOAD commands to the autoexec.ncf file:

•LOAD sys:\system\driver_name

This command loads the bus driver (for Compaq, this is cpqsbd.nlm). After this command is executed, NetWare autoloads ncm.nlm.

•#LOAD sys:\system\ncmcon.nlm

This command loads the Novell Configuration Manager Console, which then loads odineb.nlm. These commands can also be executed at the server console prompt.

☛Note

This command is commented out. If you want the Configuration Manager Console to be loaded every time the system is started, remove the pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line.

Perform the following steps:

1.Install NetWare 5 Service Patch 1.

2.Install the Mylex GAM DMI driver.

3.Restart the server. The autoexec.ncf will execute and it will load the drivers and start ncmcon.nlm (the PCI Hot Plug user interface).

☛Note

If any LOAD line is commented out in autoexec.ncf, the corresponding driver can be loaded manually by executing the LOAD command (as listed in autoexec.ncf) at the server console prompt.
