Description
|
|
PEDGE4X.HAM
|
This host adapter module (HAM) conforms to the Novell NetWare 4.11
NPA architecture. This driver supports NPA Diagnostics via the NWDIAG
flag, specified on the command line when the driver is loaded. The
driver is a reentrant module. It registers one adapter when the NetWare
LOAD command is issued to load the driver.
|
|
PEDGE4XX.DSK
|
These PERC 2/DC reentrant module drivers conform to the Novell NetWare
4.1 DDFS architecture. They register one adapter every time the NetWare
LOAD command is issued.
|
|
DELLMGR.NLM
|
PERC Configuration Manager utility. Do not unload this NLM using
the UNLOAD console command. See Chapter 8 for additional information.
|
|
DELLMON.NLM
|
The PERC 2/DC Monitor reports events on the adapter. Event categories
are: Severe, Warning, and Information. The notification is broadcast
to the supervisor, displayed locally on the console, and displayed remotely.
|
All utilities expect the driver to pass the requests to the adapter. The driver
must be loaded before it can load the NLMs. Install in this order:
1. DRIVER - HAM or DSK.
2. Load DELLMON.NLM and DELLMGR.NLM in any order after the above modules
are loaded.
Follow the Novell NetWare Installation Guide to install NetWare on the
server. If installing Novell NetWare and PERC 2/DC is the primary adapter:
1. Connect the hard disks to PERC 2/DC. Configure PERC 2/DC and initialize
all drives by running PERC 2/DC BIOS Setup or PERC 2/DC Manager. See Chapter
7 or Chapter 8 for additional information.
2. Create a small active DOS partition on the first logical drive. Format
the drive and transfer DOS to that drive. Boot from this drive connected to
PERC 2/DC. This drive should appear as Drive C:.
3. If installing the operating system from a CD-ROM, you may need DOS
CD-ROM drivers. Install the CD-ROM drivers and make sure that the CD-ROM drive
can be accessed from DOS.
4. Follow the Novell NetWare 4.11 installation instructions. Insert the
PERC driver diskette when prompted. Novell NetWare automatically copies the
files that it needs.
5. After rebooting, run NetWare. Load the PERC 2/DC NetWare utilities
and files by typing:
LOAD A:RAIDINST
and pressing <Enter> from the NetWare prompt.
Special Requirements for Multiprocessor Servers
If running Novell NetWare on a system with multiple processors, copy the SMP.NLM
file to the NWSERVER directory and add the following to STARTUP.NCF:
LOAD MPS14.PSM -V -FA
FlexRAID Virtual Sizing
You must enable FlexRAID Virtual Sizing by running the PERC BIOS Configuration
utility before installing Novell NetWare 4.11 or 4.2. When FlexRAID Virtual
Sizing is enabled, the NetWare installation utility displays a larger partition
size for installation than is actually available.
Use the VS=[size] parameter when loading the pedge4x.ham driver during the
installation process to adjust the virtual size partition. Valid partition sizes
include 32 to 1024 GB. For example,
load pedge4x.ham vs=80
allows expansion of the array to a total of 80 GB.
Calculating Drive Partitions and Volumes
Use one of the following formulas to calculate the size of the partition or
volume:
 Note: In the following formulas,
N is the number of drives. A 2 GB drive is 2038 MB, a 4 GB drive is 4088 MB,
a 9 GB drive is 8568 MB.
- RAID0: N x drive = x MB of free space.
For example: if you have two 2 GB drives in a RAID0 configuration, the calculation
is:
2 x 2038 = 4076 MB
- RAID1: N/2 x drive size = x MB of free space.
For example: if you have two 2 GB drives in a RAID1 configuration, the calculation
is:
2/2 x 2038 = 2038 MB
- RAID5: (N-1) x drive size = x MB of free space.
For example: if you have three 2 GB drives in a RAID5 configuration, the
calculation is:
(3-1) x 2038 = 4076 MB
You must create a partition on the entire virtual space. However, volumes can
be created using only the total capacity of the actual physical drives.

After the NetWare SNMP is installed, it loads automatically when the server
starts. You can also explicitly start NetWare SNMP by typing the LOAD command.
Type
LOAD SNMP options
and press <Enter>. The options, described on the following page, allow
you to establish the community name used in SNMP traps. NetWare SNMP also provides
default community names for the monitor (read-only) and control (read/write)
communities. NetWare SNMP uses these names for access control. The community
names in a request message from an SNMP management station must match the names
established by NetWare SNMP.
If NetWare SNMP receives a request protocol data unit (PDU) that has an unknown
community name, NetWare SNMP does not respond to the request. For example: if
the community name is secret and NetWare receives a SETRequest PDU with the
community name public, NetWare SNMP discards the SETRequest PDU and does not
respond.
Disabling Community Types
When a community type is disabled, no management entity can access information
for that community. For example: if the control community is disabled, no one
can use NetWare SNMP to do SET operations on the data that NetWare manages.
Changing Options
You can change options by typing the LOAD command while NetWare SNMP is running.
You can also modify the LOAD SNMP line in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to include different
default options.
The NetWare LOAD command line options are not case-sensitive. Just type the
first character of the option name. The communityName is an arbitrary 1-32 character
case-sensitive ASCII string that can include any character except tab, space,
[, ], =, :, :, or #.
