Host failover The NHAS and SFT III software products provide hardware fault tolerance (that is, host failover capability) for the Novell NetWare environment.

Verifying client operations
After configuring the Novell NetWare system, verify that NetWare clients can access the new
volumes. To verify access:
1.
Copy an existing file onto each new volume.
2.
Verify that the file was copied successfully.
Middleware configuration
The disk array supports many industry-standard middleware products which provide host failover
and logical volume management. Available host failover products for the Novell NetWare server
operating system include the Novell High Availability Server (NHAS), SFT III software products,
Novell Clustering Services, and Novell Multipath Support.
Logical volume management functions are included in the Novell NetWare server operating system
(for example, Installation Option NetWare Loadable Module, NWAdmin).
Host failover
The NHAS and SFT III software products provide hardware fault tolerance (that is, host failover
capability) for the Novell NetWare environment.
Novell Clustering Service provides fault tolerance by moving (failing over) server resources from
one server to another.
If you plan to use these products with the disk array, contact your HP service representative for the
latest information about support and configuration requirements.
For assistance with NHAS or SFT III operations, see the Novell user documentation, or contact
Novell customer support.
Multipath failover
The XP disk arrays support NetWare multipath failover. If multiple FCAs are connected to the disk
array with commonly-shared LUNs, you can configure path failover to recognize each new device
path:
1.
In the
startup.cfg
file, enter
SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=ON LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN
2.
If the line
LOAD CPQSHD.CDM
is present, it should be commented out.
Example startup.cfg
SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=ON
LOAD ACPIDRV.PSM
######## End PSM Drivers ########
LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN
#LOAD CPQSHD.CDM
LOAD IDECD.CDM
######## End CDM Drivers ########
