Configuring for failover: The failover feature currently is supported by OS/2, Windows NT®, and IntraNetWare. The setup required for each operating system follows. OS/2 1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Adapters" on page 161. 2. Use the ServerGuide CDs to install the AMD PCNet Ethernet Family adapter device driver. 3. Using the MPTS Utility program, select the driver from the list and select the Edit button. Note Only one driver instance needs to be loaded for each redundant pair of Ethernet controllers. 4. Change the PermaNet Server Feature keyword to TRUE and specify the Primary and Standby slots that contain the redundant pair. Refer to "System board component locations" on page 279 for the locations and slot numbers of the PCI slots. The integrated controller is located in slot E (PCI primary bus 0, slot 14). 5. To enable the writing of messages to the IBMCOM\LANTRAN.LOG file when a failover occurs: a. Copy the file PCNETOS2.EXE from the root directory of the diskette created using the ServerGuide CDs to the hard disk drive. b. Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file: Run=d:\path\PCNETOS2.EXE where d and path are the drive and path to which you copied PCNETOS2.EXE. 6. Restart the server. The failover function is now enabled. Windows NT 1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions provided with the adapter and in "Adapters" on page 161. 2.
