5.Check theGrouping box. This will show the possible combinations for redundant pairs.

6.Select the adapter pair you want OKand. Notthen thatselecthe integrated

Ethernet controller is located at PCI bus 0, slot 9.

7. SelectClose to exit from the Network setup.

When you restart the server, the failover function will be in ef

If a failover occurs, a message is written to the NT Event Viewer

Configuring Failover on IntraNetWare

1. Install the	redundant NIC adapter	according to the instructions p
the adapter	and in “Installing or	Removing Adapters” on page 50.

2. Load the device driver by using the following command:

LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=x SECONDARY=y

whered	andpath are the drive	and	path	where the driverx and is locat
y are	the PCI slot numbers	where	the	redundant pair is located.

The slot number associated with the integrated Ethernet controller

depending	upon	the configuration			of the Netfinity 5000 server. To			de
the slot	number, load		the	driver with		no	parameters. The driver	w
available	slot	numbers.	The	slot	number	that	is greater that 10000	w

slot number of the integrated Ethernet controller. When the slot num integrated Ethernet controller is determined, reload the driver wit appropriate parameters.

3. When the driver is loaded, bind it to a protocol stack.

The failover function is now enabled. If a failover occurs:

Ÿ A message is generated to the operating system console.

ŸThe custom counters for the device driver contain variables that

state of	the failover	function	and	the location of the redundant
use the	NetWare Monitor	to view	the	custom counters.

Using the SCSISelect Utility Program

Your server comes with a menu-driven configuration utility program, call SCSISelect, that you can use to view and change SCSI settings.

You can use the SCSISelect Utility program to:

Ÿ	View and	change	the device	configuration
Ÿ	Perform a	low-level	format or	verify the media on a SCSI hard dis
