IBM® xSeries 250: User’s Reference
Note: If you hot replace the primary adapter while the Ethernet traffic is 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. See “Configuring for failover”.
Configuring for failover: The failover feature currently is supported by Windows
NT Server, and IntraNetWare. The setup required for each operating system follows.
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 91.
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 Netfinity PCI Hotplug for Windows NT 4.0 Failover DMI Agent
2. IBM Netfinity PCI Hotplug for Windows NT 4.0 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 PCI 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.
