Installation and Configuration Scenario
The instructions in this guide follow a simple scenario
that demonstrates the fundamentals of setting up a sample
configuration. Setting up your own configuration may
require a slightly different sequence of tasks and different
numbers of NICs. The NetWare scenario described here
illustrates a server on which no other NICs are installed
and follows this sequence:
1 Install two server NICs.
2 Install the driver on both NICs.
3 Install Load Balancing/RSL software.
4 Make one group of two NICs.
5 Add a NIC to the group, making one group of
three NICs.
6 Add a group to the configuration.
Installing and Configuring the Software
With NetWare installed and the server up and running,
complete the following steps to install and configure the
driver and Load Balancing/RSL software on a NetWare file
server. In NetWare screens, use the arrow keys to select an
item and then press Enter. The major steps are listed below
and described in detail in the rest of this section.
