Novell NetWare
You must follow the procedures in the following sections to installing a
SmartRAID VI controller for Novell NetWare, especially as a booting
controller. There are specific steps that must be completed to ensure that
NetWare will recognize the DPT controller and any attached devices.
The DPT diskette for NetWare contains the device drivers you need to
install a DPT controller for NetWare 4.2 and 5.0. The diskette also contains
additional modules that allow you to monitor and configure a NetWare
server using Storage Manager on a remote client workstation.
If you are using NetWare 4.11, you must download the installation files
from the DPT Technical Support web site.
NOTE
The I2O drivers in the following Novell Support Packs or
driver kits will result in unexpected behavior of the
SmartRAID VI controller or disk arrays:
I2ODRV3
NetWare 5 Support Pack 2
NetWare 5 Support Pack 2A
If any of these Support Packs or updates are applied, use the
Novell install procedure to update the drivers with the files
from your DPT NetWare diskette.
After you have installed the I2O drivers you can now use the normal
NetWare procedures for modifying disk partitions, hot fixes, or volume
maintenance.
You can use SMOR to create or modify disk arrays or add Hot Spare
drives. If you install remote communication support for Storage Manager,
you can use Storage Manager from a client workstation to manage the
storage subsystem.
