HP 441877-00B manual Load Cpqans FRAME=ETHERNET802.2, Load Cpqans Status, Load Cpqans Commit

Note that ONLY an NFT mode Team can combine an HP Gigabit server adapter (server adapters that use N1000.LAN) and an HP Fast Ethernet server adapter (use N100.LAN). (Exception: The NC71xx Gigabit over copper server adapters can be teamed with adapters of different speeds.) See Overview of NetWare teaming ("NetWare teaming" on page 139) for information about mixing adapters.

Note the following:

•For simplicity, in this example, only the default frame type 802.2 is used. By default, CPQANS uses the frame type 802.2, so you do not need to specify 802.2 on the command line.

•By default, CPQANS uses the NFT mode. In this example, only one instance of each adapter is present in the system, so you do not need to specify a slot number.

•This example checks the status of the Team after each command.

Example:

1.Load CPQANS.LAN to form the basis of a Team.

LOAD CPQANS FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2

Next, check the status of the Team.

LOAD CPQANS STATUS

2.Load the base driver for each adapter and frame type for the Team. As this example uses only 802.2, each adapter has its base driver loaded only once.

LOAD N1000 LOAD N100

Next, check the status of the Team.

LOAD CPQANS STATUS

3.When you load CPQANS.LAN, it looks like a protocol, so you can bind it to the physical adapter. Bind CPQANS.LAN to each physical adapter in the Team. Notice the key word "PRIMARY." For performance reasons the Gigabit server adapter should be the primary adapter.

BIND CPQANS N1000 PRIMARY BIND CPQANS N100

Next, check the status of the Team. Notice that the Team now has two adapter instances with the Team. Also notice that the Team is in the "BEFORE COMMIT" state. The HP Gigabit server adapter is the "PRIMARY."

LOAD CPQANS STATUS

4.Finalize the Team with the "COMMIT" command. Since we have not chosen the mode of the Team, it is NFT by default.

LOAD CPQANS COMMIT

Next, check the status of the Team. Notice that NFT is now the Team mode and that the Team is now in the "COMMIT-DONE" state. No changes to the Team can be made when the Team is in the "COMMIT-DONE" state.

LOAD CPQANS STATUS

5.Now that the Team is in the "COMMIT-DONE" state, the CPQANS Team appears as a virtual adapter. You may now bind a protocol to CPQANS. ALWAYS ensure that your adapters and CPQANS are using the same frame type.

BIND IPX CPQANS NET=102

Next, check the status of the Team.

LOAD CPQANS STATUS

Example 2: TLB Team with Ethernet_II frame type

This example is slightly more complicated. In this example, we will only use one frame type, Ethernet_II. Since Ethernet_II and TLB are not the CPQANS defaults, you must specify them both at the command line.
