If your removable-media device supports the lock/unlock feature, you can lock the
media (using menu option 6). The media must be in the Not Locked state before you
can eject it. If the media is locked, it cannot be ejected when you press the eject
button.
To be fully certified as IntranetWare "Yes, Tested and Approved," a drive and host
adapter must both pass a qualification process that takes place before you see the
product. The goals of IntranetWare testing are to simplify installation and provide the
highest quality disk subsystem.
Adaptec 78 xx series host adapters and their drivers are fully tested and approved for
IntranetWare. This means that you can purchase a IntranetWare drive (certified as
"Yes, Tested and Approved") from a vendor, connect it to your system or host
adapter, partition it, and create a volume without any compatibility concerns.
NOTE: Dell recommends using only Dell-tested drives.
Adaptec's aic78u2.ham driver module is flexible enough to allow you to connect SCSI
drives that are tested and approved for IntranetWare, as well as standard SCSI drives,
to a single host adapter. The driver registers each hard-disk drive accordingly.
Drive registration is a user-transparent process; no user interaction is required. You
can tell that the drive has been detected as IntranetWare-tested and IntranetWare-
approved if the message NetWare Yes Tested and Approved is included in the
drive description string that appears when you run monitor.nlm (disk options).
Included with IntranetWare is sbackup.nlm, a server-based tape backup utility that
supports Adaptec host adapters and that allows backup of server disk drives to a
server tape drive. Server tape drives are attached either to the AIC-7860 host adapter
or to a bundled 2940UW expansion card. Use the following procedure to load the
backup utility:
1.
Load the SCSI adapter driver.
The syntax to load the aha2940.ham driver follows:
load [ pathname ]\aha2940.ham [ options ] slot= x
2.
Refer to the IntranetWare documentation for additional instructions on loading
the server backup software.
To use a CD-ROM drive with IntranetWare, follow these steps:
1.
Load aha2940.ham by entering the following command line:
load [ pathname ]\aha2940.ham slot=x
