The failover function is now enabled.
Windows NT Server
IBM offers hot-plug support for Windows NT Server Version 4.0. Failover can work
in conjunction with hot-plug support or independently. If you are not using hot-plug
support, go to "Windows NT Server failover setup" on page 38.
Windows NT Server hot-plug setup:
4.0 package is available for download from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support on the
World Wide Web.
Enter the brand type of Server, click on Downloadable files and look for Hot
Plug. The IBM Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package uses the Intel
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) to control hot-plug support for the Ethernet
controllers. The Ethernet controller in your computer is DMI compliant. Download
and install the following software in the order listed:
1. IBM Failover DMI Agent
2. IBM PCI Hot Plug Solution
3. IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Adapter device drivers
Note: The order of installation is important. The IBM Hot Plug for Windows NT
Server 4.0 package must be installed before the IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault
Tolerant Adapter driver is installed. If the adapter device driver is installed
before the PCI Hot Plug Solution package, the adapter device driver will not
recognize the hot-plug code. This happens because the adapter device
driver only checks the NT registry for the Hot Plug package during
installation. If the PCI Hot Plug Solution package is added after the adapter
device driver is installed, the adapter must be removed and added again in
order for it to detect the PCI Hot-Plug Solution code.
To install the IBM Failover DMI Agent:
1. Download the DMI EXE file from the IBM Support Web page, and extract the
files onto a diskette.
2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.
3. From the Start menu, select the Run option.
4. Type A:\SETUP.EXE in the Open box.
5. Click Ok. The setup wizard opens.
6. Follow the instructions given by the setup wizard until the program is installed.
7. Restart the server.
To install the IBM PCI Hot Plug Solution package:
1. Download the IBM PCI Hot Plug Services EXE file from the IBM Support Web
page, and extract the files onto a diskette.
2. Log on to Windows NT Server as a user in the Administrator group.
3. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive.
4. From the Start menu, select the Run option.
5. Type A:\SETUP.EXE in the Open box.
