Installing and Configuring the NetWare Server Driver
101
e
Remove any protocol BIND commands from each
secondary NIC.
f
For each group, add an LBRSL GROUP command to
group the primary and secondary NICs together. There
can be only one LBRSL GROUP command per group,
and it must list the primary and all secondary NICs. Place
this command after the LAN driver LOAD commands or
the SYS:ETC\INITSYS.NCF command. To specify a load
balancing group with resilient server links, use the LB
option. To specify a resilient server link group without
load balancing, use the RSL option.
For the LBRSL GROUP command syntax, see Server
Feature Commands on page 108.
For more information on maintaining the group
configuration, see Maintaining Groups on page 104.
5 Save the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and return to the server
prompt.
The sample AUTOEXEC.NCF file in Figure 6 shows a group
of two NICs. The primary NIC in slot 10001 is bound to a
secondary NIC in slot 10002.
CAUTION:
If you are connecting the 3CR990 NIC to a
spanning tree-enabled hub or switch, it is possible that
the link may drop during load/reset. To avoid this
potential problem, avoid creating the load balancing
group in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file and comment out the
LBRSL GROUP/BIND LB <slot 1><slot 2> line. Wait a
couple of minutes until one of the clients connected to
the server is able to “see” the server. Then use the
command prompt on the server console screen to enter
the command shown above to form the load balancing
group.
