Chapter 5 Novell NetWare Installation
Using NetWare and the Host Adapter
This section contains useful information on using NetWare and your host adapter.
Using Removable Media
The adpt160m.ham driver module fully supports removable-media disk drives,
including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is treated as a standard SCSI
hard disk, with some exceptions:
·
The driver only recognizes and registers media with 512 bytes/sector.
·
NetWare allows you to mount/dismount the media, and to lock/unlock the
media.
NetWare’s monitor.nlm program supports several removable-media options. Follow
these steps to view and configure these options:
1. Load monitor.nlm to display the various options.
2. Select Disk Information. All system disk drives appear.
3. Select the removable-media device. The following drive status items appear:
1
Valid for both removable and non-removable types of SCSI disk drives.
2
Valid for removable media only.
Mount Status
Mounting causes a drive to come on-line as a NetWare storage device. Dismounted
drives are inactive and cannot be accessed.
