5. Highlight one of the adapters that will be in the
redundant pair and then click the Properties... button.
6. Check the Grouping box. This will show the possible
combinations for redundant pairs.
7. Select the adapter pair you want and then select OK.
Note that the integrated Ethernet controller is located
at PCI bus A, slot 2 (bus 0, slot 2).
Two options are available for recovering from a
failover condition. The options are determined by the
Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox. If the
IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server
4.0 package is installed, this checkbox will appear at
the bottom of the Adapter Properties panel. If you do
not have the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows
NT Server 4.0 package installed on the server, you
will not see the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support
checkbox.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is
not checked or is not present, traffic will automatically
switch back to the primary adapter when the primary
link status is restored. In this mode, the adapter
cannot be hot-swapped. Users with the IBM Netfinity
Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package
installed should check the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap
Support checkbox.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox
is checked, traffic will remain on the secondary
adapter until the user directs it to return to the primary
adapter. This can be done after the hot-swap
replacement of the primary adapter or by using the
DMI interface.
8. Select Close to exit from the Network setup.
When you restart the server, the failover function will
be in effect.
If a failover occurs, a message is written to the NT Event
Viewer log. In addition, if the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap
Support checkbox is checked, a DMI alert will also be
generated.
