Utilities Reference
When you execute the command, the screen displays information similar to
the following:
Device: [V312-A0-D0:0] SEAGATE ST32430N rev:0510
Filter: NetWare Elevator Filter
Filter: NetWare Sector Conversion Filter
Base: Novell SCSI Fixed Disk CDM
HAM: [V312-A0] ADAPTEC PCI Host Adapter Module
The first line specifies the device.
The next lines specify the CDMs associated with the device.
Filters are CDMs that communicate with the storage device. The elevator
filter controls messages to and from the storage device, including scatter-
gather messages. The sector conversion filter converts sector sizes to
standard 512 byte units.
The Base is the essential CDM required to manage communication with
the Host Adapter Module.
Information about CDMs for changers (called Enhancers) might also be
displayed.
The last line identifies the Host Adapter Module for the adapter to which the
device is connected.
Use LOAD to link loadable modules to the operating system. Loadable
modules include disk drivers, LAN drivers, NLM
support modules, and name space modules.
Use the LOAD command to load application modules to a protected address
space, a region of logical memory in user mode (ring 3). Protected modules
operate in their own execution environment. You can also mark a protected
address space for restart after cleanup.
IMPORTANT:
LAN and disk drivers or the MONITOR utility are not candidates for
protected address space because they must run in the kernel. For example,
MONITOR makes system calls that the call gate doesn't allow between protected
space and the kernel.
