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 than 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 contain 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. 50 Netfinity Server HMM

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 than 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 contain
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.
