Begin installation of NetWare v5.0 on your server as instructed in your NetWare documentation. 2. When a screen appears that asks you to add device drivers, choose "Modify" and press ENTER. 3. Choose "Storage Adapters", and press ENTER. 4. Press INS to add storage devices. 5. Press INS to add an unlisted driver. 6. Insert the Adaptec Ultra160 Family Manager Set for NetWare diskette into your disk drive. 4. Press F3 and specify the path to the ADPT160M.HAM driver for NetWare (e.g., a:\netware\v5_xx on the diskette). 5. Select ADPT160M.HAM and press ENTER. 6. You will be prompted to confirm slot option, press "Enter" to select the slot number. Repeat until all slot options are loaded. 7. When "Choose the Server Driver - Disk Driver Parameters" appears, select "Save Parameters and Continue". 8. When "Install addition driver" appears, select "YES" if installing more than one host adapter or installing a dual-channel host adapter, and repeat step 5 & 6 until one driver is chosen for each host adapter; otherwise, select "NO". 9. Select "Continue with Installation" to continue the installation. NOTE: To load the driver automatically at server bootup, make sure the STARTUP.NCF file includes the load command line for your host adapter. 3.2 Installing the Driver in an Existing NetWare 4/5 Installation To update or install the ADPT160M.HAM driver when NetWare v4.11 or higher is already installed, follow the instructions in this section. The recommended way for updating the driver is through 'install' program under NetWare 4.11/v4.2 and 'nwconfig' under NetWare 5.0. Procedures that are specific to a NetWare version are noted when necessary. Make a backup copy of the old driver(if it exists) before installing the new driver. 1. At the console prompt type 'load install' in case of v4.11/v4.2 and 'nwconfig' in the case of v5.0. 2. Select "Driver Options (load/unload disk and network drivers)". 3. In the driver options select "Configure disk and storage device drivers". 4. Select "Select an additional driver". 5. Copy the ADPT160M.HAM driver from the Ultra160 Family Manager Set diskette for NetWare into the server's startup directory (e.g. c:\nwserver) on your hard disk. This overwrites any existing version of the driver in the directory. 6. If necessary, modify the load command line in the STARTUP.NCF so that the proper path to the driver and all appropriate command line options are specified. See the "Loading the Driver at Server Bootup and Command Line Options sections, below.) The correct syntax to load the Ultra160 Family Manager driver is: LOAD [pathname]ADPT160M [options] Command line options are not case sensitive. Placing commas between command line options is optional. See "Command Line Options", below, for possible values. 3.3 Command Line Options NOTE: Possible values for command line options can be enabled with ON, Y, or 1 without distinction, or can be disabled with OFF, N, or 0. The following table shows driver command line options: Option | Definition |Possible Values | efault Values | | | auto_disable_tagq= | Enable/disable auto disable | OFF, ON | OFF | tag queuing algorithm | | dev_enable= | Bitmask which enables | Hexadecimal 0-FFFF | FFFF (Scan all targets) | scanning on selected targets | | flush_diskreq= | Send occasionally ordered | Hexadecimal 0-FFFF | 0 (Disabled for all | tags to targets | | targets) lun_enable= | LUN scan enable mask on all | Hexadecimal 0-FF | 1 (scan LUN 0 only) | targets | | max_tags= | Maximum number of tagged | 1-128 | 16 | I/Os which will be active per | | | device | | multlun_targets= | Bit mask that enables LUNs | Hexadecimal 0-FFFF | FFFF (LUNs of all | on selected targets | | targets) verbose= | Display host adapter | Y, N | N | settings | | slot= | Obtain a physical slot | Dependent on system | if none specified,driver | number for the host adapter | configuration | loaded for all available | | | slots 4.0 Configuration Information ------------------------------- N/A 5.0 Unattended Mode ------------------------------- N/A 6.0 WEB Sites and Support Phone Number ---------------- 6.1 IBM Support Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support 6.2 IBM Marketing Netfinity Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/netfinity 6.3 If you have any questions about this update, or problems applying the update go to the following Help Center World Telephone Numbers URL: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/YAST-3P2QLY.html. 7.0 Trademarks and Notices ---------------------------- 8.0 Disclaimer ---------------------------- 8.1 THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
