Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options NOTE The HPANS.LAN driver requires more resources (memory) than a traditional LAN driver. To accommodate this, the minimum and maximum packet receive buffers need to be increased. The exact numbers depend on the complexity of the team; however, the following settings (which are to be added to the STARTUP.NCF file) should be sufficient for most single team systems. Copy these lines into the STARTUP.NCF file SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS=500 SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS=2000 Copy these lines into the AUTOEXEC.NCF file ;- Load the base driver for each adapter where x is the primary adapter's slot number and y is the secondary adapter's slot number. load CHPTX slot=x name=primary load CHPTX slot=y name=secondary Do not bind protocols to the base (CHPTX) driver. ;- Load HPANS to form the basis of a team load HPANS ;- Bind HPANS to each physical adapter bind HPANS CHPTX primary bind HPANS CHPTX secondary ;- Use HPANS to commit the team where z is the teaming mode of your choice: Specify AFT for Adapter Fault Tolerance, ALB for Adaptive Load Balancing, or FEC for Fast Ether Channel. load HPANS commit mode=z 32
