Two options are available for recovering from a failover condition. The options
are determined by the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support check box. If the
IBM Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package is installed, this check
box will appear at the bottom of the Adapter Properties panel. If you do not
have the IBM Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package installed on
your server, you will not see the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support check box.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support check box is not checked or is not
present, traffic will automatically switch back to the primary adapter when the
primary link status is restored. In this mode, the adapter cannot be
hot-swapped. Users with the IBM Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0
package installed should check the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support check
box.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support check box is checked, traffic will
remain on the secondary adapter until the user directs it to return to the primary
adapter. This can be done after the hot-swap replacement of the primary
adapter or by using the DMI interface.
When you restart the server, the failover function will be in effect.
