Server troubleshooting Hints
Multi proccessing test.
A self extracting copy of the diagnostic diskette is placed at the following location:
PCBUOA::USR18:[DIAGNOSTICS.INTEL_MP]ZX51XXMP.EXE
This file will create a bootable diskette when executed on a PC. It will be the same as the diskette the
customer receives.
If you have problems getting to the file, contact myself or Paul Phaneuf at DTN 244-6875.
Mylex RAID Controllers
The Prioris ZX MP Series 5000 Server requires a minimum revision of 'Rev. C' of the Mylex RAID
controller kit to support RAID devices. The 'Rev. C' kit contains Mylex firmware revision 2.38, Mylex
BIOS revision 1.28, and Mylex driver revision 1.02. You can identify a 'Rev. C' Mylex RAID card by
checking the revision level when the card is booted. It must display a minimum firmware revision level of
2.38.
NetWare 3.12
When installing NetWare and using an Adaptec 78XX controller, NetWare displays the following message
on boot:
Slot number 81 is NOT supported and was ignored
Supported slot values are 129 & 130
Slot: 129
Press [Enter] to continue.
To prevent this occurrence on future server boots, make note
of the slot number that NetWare assigns and edit the
STARTUP.NCF file.
For example, change the disk driver command in the STARTUP.NCF
file from:
Load AIC7870 slot=81
To:
Load AIC7870 slot=129
