When you restart the server, the failover function will be in effect.
If a failover occurs, a message is written to the NT Event Viewer log.
IntraNetWare:
1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions that are provided
with the adapter.
2. Load the device driver by using the following command:
LOAD
:\
d
where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located, and x and y
are the PCI slot numbers where the redundant pair is located.
The slot number associated with the integrated Ethernet controller can vary
depending on 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 that 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:
•
The operating system console generates a message.
•
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.
