checking the drivers - netware 3.x / 4.x
In order to check that the correct HBA and Tape Device (or ASPI) drivers are
loaded, type the following at the console prompt:
"LIST MODULES"
Check that the drivers listed on the screen display correspond with those listed
below:
DDFS Drivers
NWPA Drivers
With NetWare 3.x and 4.x, the "Install" utility can also be used to view installed
device drivers, by typing:
"LOAD INSTALL"
checking the drivers - netware 5.x
In order to check that the correct HBA and Tape Device (or ASPI) drivers are
loaded, type the following at the console prompt:
"MODULES"
Check that the drivers listed on the screen display correspond with those listed
below:
DDFS Drivers
NWPA Drivers
With NetWare 5.x, the "nwconfig" utility can also be used to view installed device
drivers, by typing:
"NWCONFIG"
checking your startup and autoexec files
It is possible to check which drivers are being loaded by the NetWare startup.ncf
and autoexec.ncf files by examining them using INSTALL.NLM (NetWare 3.x / 4.x)
or NWCONFIG.NLM (NetWare 5.x). These can be loaded at the console prompt.
Consult your NetWare manual for full details on how to use these utilities.
