Error conditions
If you receive the error message "Failed to create new team," check the following:
•All adapters have the same frame types.
•The CPQANS team has the same frame type as the adapters.
•That CPQANS is loaded once for each team.
•A "BIND CPQANS <adapter name>" command has been issued for each adapter in the team.
•All adapters in a team are connected to the same network segment.
•CPQANS is not being bound to an unsupported adapter.
NOTE: The "CONFIG" command will not reflect CPQANS until the command "LOAD CPQANS COMMIT" has been successfully issued.
Setting NetWare probe and balance variables
NetWare provides several probe and balance variables that provide the optimum performance for most configurations. However, you can modify these to meet your special configuration needs. Each of these variables is described below.
You can use the following formula to determine the relative range of many of these parameters:
probe_send_interval<(probe_check_interval probe_recheck_interval*probe_retry_count)
•load CPQANS balance_interval=xxx [team=nnn] o Default = 180
o Range =
o Description: Changes the team's balance interval. XXX counts 1/18 second ticks. Only even numbers are supported. Odd numbers are rounded down. This can also be used after the COMMIT command.
•load CPQANS balance_set_default [team=nnn]
Description: Restores the team's balance interval to the factory default setting.
•load CPQANS probes=[on off] [team=nnn] o Default = Probes enabled
o Description: Enables and disables probe packet generation. Probes are not supported in FEC, GEC, and IEEE 803.3ad modes. This can also be used after the COMMIT command.
•load CPQANS probes=[broadcastmulticast] [team=nnn] o Default = Probes sent in broadcast
o Description: Hangs probe addressing to broadcast or multicast. This cannot be used after the COMMIT command.
•load CPQANS probe_retry_count=xxx [team=nnn] o Default = 7
o Range = Relative to other parameters
o Description: Changes the team's probe retry count value. XXX is the number of retries to send probes, in case the probes are not received by other members of this team. This can also be used after the COMMIT command.
•load CPQANS probe_burst_size=xxx [team=nnn]
