IntraNetware 1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Adapters" on page 142. 2. Load the device driver by using the following command: LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW.LAN PRIMARY=x SECONDARY=y where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located, and x and y are the PCI slot numbers where the redundant pair is located. The slot number associated with the integrated Ethernet controller can vary depending upon the configuration of the server. To determine the slot number, load the driver with no parameters. The driver will display the available slot numbers. The slot number that is greater that 10000 will be the slot number of integrated Ethernet controller. When the slot number of the integrated Ethernet controller is determined, reload the driver with the appropriate parameters. 3. When the driver is loaded, bind it to a protocol stack. The failover function is now enabled. If a failover occurs: A message is generated to the operating system console. The custom counters for the device driver contains variables that define the state of the failover function and the location of the redundant pair. You can use the Netware Monitor to view the custom counters. Note If the primary adapter was hot-replaced while the Ethernet traffic was 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. In this case, issue the command: LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW SCAN where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located. This command causes the device driver to locate the primary adapter and switch the Ethernet traffic to it. 64 Netfinity Server HMM
