4.6 Novell NetWare
- When starting the NetWare operating system, the Adaptec Storage
Manager agent may fail to start. A message "The Storage Manager
agent failed to start" displays when starting the server.
The server is unable to load the Storage Manager agent. This is
usually caused by loading Java before the Storage Manager agent.
In the file Autoexec.ncf, move the line "LOAD RAIDAGNT -BOOT"

- A NetWare system can run only one instance of the Adaptec Storage
Manager agent.
- Under Novell NetWare 6.5, you cannot initialize a drive using
Adaptec Storage Manager. You must use the BIOS Array
