Installing Software Drivers
Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000
Note:
connected. Windows NT 4.0 only allows you to install tape device drivers sequentially.
If you have other tape devices installed without drivers, install those drivers before
attempting the following procedure, or click Cancel to bypass each tape device.
If Web access is unavailable, you can use the drivers included on the CD that
shipped with your tape device. Insert the CD and follow the instructions.
Novell NetWare
If Web access is unavailable, you can use the drivers included on the CD that
shipped with your tape device. Insert the CD and follow the instructions.
Be sure to load the drivers in conjunction with the HP controller. There are
additional driver issues if you want to use applications requiring the Advanced
SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) support. For more information see the
following section.
ASPI Support
The README.COM on the Novell Software Support Diskette (NSSD) outlines
the specific drivers you need to support ASPI tape backup applications.
If you are using a tape backup application that uses the ASPI, such as ARCserve
provided by HP or Seagate BackupExec, refer to the information provided with
your application NLM to determine whether it uses ASPI.
The HP ASPI drivers, CPQSASPI.NLM Device Driver Functional Specification
(DDFS) and NWASPI.NLM NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NWPA), provide
ASPI support for the HP SCSI architecture for applications that require this
interface.
All required drivers for ASPI tape support are provided on the Novell Software
Support Diskette (NSSD). The Support Software ships with each server or can be
downloaded from the HP website.
The SCSI.RDM file on the NSSD diskette gives complete instructions on how to
load these drivers and troubleshoot any problems.
