Two options are available for recovering from a failover condition. The options
are determined by the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox. If the IBM
Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package is installed, this
checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Adapter Properties panel. If you do not
have the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package
installed on the server, you will not see the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support
checkbox.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is not checked or is not
present, traffic will automatically switch back to the primary adapter when the
primary link status is restored. In this mode, the adapter cannot be hot-swapped.
Users with the IBM Netfinity Hot Plug PCI for Windows NT Server 4.0 package
installed should check the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox.
If the Enable for DMI / Hot Swap Support checkbox is checked, traffic will
remain on the secondary adapter until the user directs it to return to the primary
adapter. This can be done after the hot-swap replacement of the primary adapter
or by using the DMI interface.
