NetWare teaming

IMPORTANT: Teaming NC150, NC32x, NC37x, NC1020, NC6770, or NC77xx adapters with NC110x, NC310, NC31xx, NC340x, NC360x, NC364x, NC61xx, or NC71xx adapters is not supported for NetWare.

The HP Advanced Network Services driver name is CPQANS.LAN.

CPQANS requirements:

•Use with NetWare 5.1 and 6.x

•Always install the latest Novell Support Packs

•Always install the latest HP NSSD

CPQANS teams with the following HP server adapters:

•HP NC110T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter

•HP NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapters

•HP NC340T PCI-X Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapters

•HP NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter

•HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter

•HP NC61xx Gigabit Server Adapters

•HP NC31xx Fast Ethernet Server Adapters

•HP NC71xx Gigabit Server Adapters

CPQANS requires the following Novell settings:

•SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 2000 (or larger)

•SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 10000 (or larger)

•SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 2048 (or larger)

Options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance

HP Gigabit, Fast Ethernet, and Ethernet server adapters teamed with CPQANS provide the following options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance for NetWare 5.1, 6.0, and 6.5.

•Network Fault Tolerance (NFT). Creates a team of adapters with the Primary adapter in the active state and the remaining adapters in a standby state. Primary specifies which adapter in the team is the Preferred Primary adapter. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails and is later replaced, or if a cable is reattached to fix a failure on the primary adapter, the secondary adapter automatically passes control back to the Preferred Primary. Works with any Ethernet switch or hub. NFT is the only team mode that allows for a team of different speed adapters. Refer to the discussion on mixed teams in the "Important teaming notes" section for more information.
