Use the NWCONFIG utility to modify the STARTUP.NCF file NOTE: Netware hides the real copy of STARTUP.NCF, so if you just edit the file with a file editor (not using NWCONFIG), your edits will be discarded. ############################################ # # Working C:\NWSERVER\STARTUP.NCF file # # On my NetWare 6.5 w/sp 6 & 7 systems, # # Using a QLA2342 HBA on a Quartz computer # # (Quartz = IBM Type 8669 xSeries 342 server) # ############################################ SET Multi-Path Support=ON LOAD MPS14.PSM ######## End PSM Drivers ######## LOAD IDECD.CDM LOAD LSIMPE.CDM LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN << ADD the "AEN" parameter # LOAD QLCSFTE.CDM # we (IBM) don't use ######## End CDM Drivers ######## LOAD IDEATA.HAM SLOT=10007 LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=10010 LOAD ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=10011 LOAD QLX200.HAM SLOT=501 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /XRETRY=150 << case INsensitive # # IF DRIVER NAME HAS A TRAILING 'D' AS IN QL2300D.HAM, # IT IS A DEBUG VERSION OF THE DRIVER # # For 2342's (dual port HBAs) the slot number is the: # 1) Slot containing the adapter card, plus a two digit port number # 2) Thus my 2342 card is in slot number 5, and is a two port card, # 3) Resulting in slots 501 and 502 being used in the STARTUP.NCF file # LOAD QL2X00.HAM SLOT=502 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /XRETRY=150 << case INsensitive ########## End HAM Drivers ########### ######## END OF STARTUP.NCF ######## NOTE: You must either set (number of) LUNS PER TARGET in the QLogic Device drive to "256" (Press CTLR-Q when asked, upon bootup) OR Add "/MAXLUNS=256M," to the LOAD QLogic driver parameter list: LOAD QL2X00.HAM SLOT=502 /LUNS /ALLPATHS /PORTNAMES /MAXLUNS=256 /XRETRY=150 (parameters may be in any order, and either capitalized or in lower-case text) QLogic NetWare 6.5 IBM HBA Driver Ver 6.90.15 ("o")
