Server driver installation in new NetWare 3.12 Server
Changes from the usual NetWare installation are necessary because this driver is written to a new specification level that requires new NetWare loadable modules (NLMs). The installation program is not aware of this, though, and these NLMs must be loaded during installation of the server device driver and after the server installation.
1.Create a diskette containing the extracted files from the NETWAREP.EXE package file on the adapter
2.Refer to Novell’s Installation and Upgrade manual for installation instructions. Follow the procedure for the installation of Novell NetWare 3.12 until the section titled “Load LAN Drivers” is next.
3.Insert the diskette that you created in step 1 into drive A. Enter the following commands at the server prompt:
LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\NBI31X.NLM LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\MSM31X.NLM
LOAD A:\NOVELL\NETWARE\TOKENTSM.NLM
Note: A message referring to
4.Load the server device driver. Enter the following command at the server prompt:
LOAD X:\NOVELL\NETWARE\IBMTRPO.LAN DATARATE=M16
It is recommended for servers that the DataRate be set to M16 or M4, and clients be set to Auto.
Note: See “Appendix D. Novell NetWare Server driver parameters” on page 65 for a complete list of parameters that can be specified in the LOAD IBMTRPO command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
5.Follow the instructions in the Novell manual, beginning with “Bind the Protocol to the LAN Driver” and continue until you are in the file server STARTUP.NCF file panel.
6.In addition to the instructions in the Novell manual, add the following line to
STARTUP.NCF:
Set Minimum Packet Receive Buffers = 48
Note: Increase the minimum packet receive buffers by 48 for each additional adapter that is installed.
7.Perform the instructions in “Create an AUTOEXEC.NCF file” in the Novell manual. Add the following lines to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file immediately after the IPX INTERNAL NET statement (replace C:\SERVER.312\ with the location of the NetWare Server program):
LOAD C:\SERVER.312\NBI31X.NLM LOAD C:\SERVER.312\MSM31X.NLM LOAD C:\SERVER.312\TOKENTSM.NLM
LOAD C:\SERVER.312\IBMTRPO.LAN NAME=IBMLS1 DATARATE=M16 BIND IPX TO IBMLS1 NET=<unique net number>
Make sure that the line containing IBMTRPO.LAN has the complete path name.
