Maintaining a Load Balancing/RSL Configuration
47
3 Reboot the server.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file in
Figure 13
shows a group
of three NICs. The primary NIC in slot 1 is bound to two
secondary NICs in slot 2 and slot 3.
Adding a Load Balancing/RSL Group
1 Install the NICs.
Follow the procedures in
Chapter 2
.
Connect all NICs in the Load Balancing/RSL group to the
same network.
2 Make the following changes to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
a
Add or verify the LOAD commands for the LAN drivers
for all slot-frame instances.
b
In each Load Balancing/RSL group, load the same protocols
and frame types on the primary and all secondary NICs.
c
On the primary NIC only, bind a protocol to each
slot-frame instance.
d
Remove any BIND commands from each secondary NIC.
e
For each Load Balancing/RSL group, add an EL985LB BIND
command to bind the primary and all secondary NICs
together. Place this command after the LAN driver
LOAD commands or the SYS:ETC\INITSYS.NCF command.
There can be only one EL985LB BIND command per
group, and it must list the primary and all secondary
NICs. (For the EL985 BIND command syntax, see
Load
Balancing/RSL Commands
in this chapter.)
3 Reboot the server.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file in
Figure 14
shows one
group of three NICs and one group of two NICs. The primary
NIC in slot 1 is bound to two secondary NICs in slot 2 and
slot 3. The primary NIC in slot 10004 is bound to the
secondary NIC in slot 10005.
