1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the
instructions provided with the adapter and in
“Adapters” on page 142.
2. Load the device driver by using the following
command:
LOAD
d
:\
path
\PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=
x
SECONDARY=
y
where
d and path are the drive and path where the
driver is located, and
x and y are the PCI slot
numbers where the redundant pair is located.
The slot number associated with the integrated
Ethernet controller can vary depending upon the
configuration of the server. To determine the slot
number, load the driver with no parameters. The
driver will display the available slot numbers. The slot
number that is greater that 10000 will be the slot
number of integrated Ethernet controller. When the
slot number of the integrated Ethernet controller is
determined, reload the driver with the 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.
Ÿ
The custom counters for the device driver contains
variables that define the state of the failover function
and the location of the redundant pair. You can use
the Netware Monitor to view the custom counters.
Note
If the primary adapter was hot-replaced while the
Ethernet traffic was being handled by the secondary
Ethernet controller, the traffic does not automatically
switch back to the primary adapter when the primary
adapter comes back online. In this case, issue the
command:
LOAD
d
:\
path
\PCNTNW SCAN
where d and path are the drive and path where the
driver is located. This command causes the device
driver to locate the primary adapter and switch the
Ethernet traffic to it.
