6. Restart the server. The failover function is now
enabled.
Windows NT Server: IBM offers hot-plug support for
Windows NT Server Version 4.0. Failover can work in
conjunction with hot-plug support or independently. If you
are not using hot-plug support, go to “Windows NT Server
failover setup” on page 108.
Windows NT Server hot-plug setup: IBM Netfinity Hot
Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package is available
for download from the IBM Web site at:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/support
Enter the brand type of Server , click on Downloadable
files and look for Hot Plug . The IBM Netfinity Hot Plug
PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package uses the Intel
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) to control hot-plug
support for the Ethernet controllers. The Ethernet controller
in your computer is DMI compliant. Download and install
the following software in the order listed:
1. IBM Failover DMI Agent
2. IBM PCI Hot Plug Solution
3. IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter device
drivers
Note: The order of installation is important. You must
install the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug for Windows NT
Server 4.0 package before you install the IBM
Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter driver. If you
install the adapter device driver before the PCI Hot
Plug Solution package, the adapter device driver
will not recognize the hot-plug code. This happens
because the adapter device driver only checks the
NT registry for the Hot Plug package during
installation. If the PCI Hot Plug Solution package is
added after the adapter device driver is installed,
the adapter must be removed and added again in
order for it to detect the PCI Hot-Plug Solution
code.
To install the IBM Failover DMI Agent:
1. Download the DMI EXE file from the Netfinity Support
web page and extract the files onto a diskette.
2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.
3. From the Start menu, select the Run option.
4. Type A:\SETUP.EXE in the Open box.
5. Click Ok . The setup wizard opens.
