Using Netware-Tested And -Approved Drives; Using The Netware Tape Backup Utility; Setting Up A Cd-Rom Drive With Netware 4.11; Table 3-5. Read After Write Verify Settings - Dell 2200 User Manual

can be set on the command line (see "Using the load
Command Line Options" found earlier in this section.)
The available settings for this option are defined as
shown in Table 3-5.

Table 3-5. Read After Write Verify Settings

Software Level Not supported.
Using NetWare-Tested and -Approved
Drives
In order for a drive and host adapter to be fully certified
as NetWare "Yes, Tested and Approved," they must both
pass a qualification process that takes place before you
see the product. The goals of NetWare testing are to sim-
plify installation and provide the highest quality disk
subsystem.
Adaptec 78xx Family host adapters and their drivers are
fully NetWare-tested and -approved. This means that you
can purchase a NetWare drive (certified as "Yes, Tested
and Approved") from a vendor, connect it to your com-
puter system or host adapter, partition it, and create a
volume without any compatibility concerns.
Adaptec's aic7870.dsk driver module is flexible enough
to allow you to connect NetWare-tested and -approved
SCSI drives 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 NetWare-tested and -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).

Using the NetWare Tape Backup Utility

Included with NetWare is a server-based tape backup
utility called sbackup.nlm. This allows backup of server
disk drives to a server tape drive. The sbackup.nlm util-
ity supports Adaptec host adapters.
1. Load the SCSI adapter driver.
The syntax to load the aic7870.dsk driver is:
load [pathname] aic7870.dsk [options] slot=x
The ASPI layer (aspitran.dsk) is automatically
loaded.
2. Refer to the Novell NetWare documentation for
additional instructions on loading the server backup
software. Refer to the NetWare Server Backup User's
Guide to load the tsa and sbackup modules.
Setting Up a CD-ROM Drive With
NetWare 4.11
To use a CD-ROM drive with NetWare 4.11, follow these
instructions:
1. Load aic7870.dsk by entering the following com-
mand line:
pathname
load [ ] aic7870.dsk slot=x
2. Load aspicd.dsk by entering the following com-
mand line:
pathname
load [ ] aspicd.dsk
NOTE: If aspicd.dsk does not work, unload it and
load it again. The first load initializes the host
adapter; unloading and reloading allow the initial-
ization to complete.
3. Load cdrom.nlm as follows:
pathname
load [ ] cdrom.nlm
4. Enter the following line at the prompt, and then
note the number and name of the CD that
appears:
cd device list
5. Enter the number and volume name of the CD at
the command line:
number
cd mount [
The CD-ROM is now ready to be accessed as a
volume.
