This section provides installation steps for installing the Emulex
adapter driver on a Novell NetWare host.
If you are installing the fibre-channel adapter for the first time,
you must specify the correct topology. You must also select the appropriate
device mapping driver.
Perform the following steps to install an Emulex adapter and driver:
- Record the IEEE number that is printed on the adapter card. You
can use the IEEE number to determine the WWPN.
- Install the Emulex adapter card in the host system.
- Connect the cable to the adapter and to the DS6000™ or
switch port that you configured for the host adapter. If you have not configured
host adapter ports on your DS6000,
see Host configuration through the DS Storage Manager.
- Install and configure the adapter driver on the host. Refer to
the installation instructions provided by your host adapter vendor for specific
adapter and adapter driver instructions. Go to Downloading and installing a host adapter driver or http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/ibm/index.htm .
- Once you have installed the driver from the NetWare server console,
enter the following command: nwconfig. This command applies
to NetWare 5.0 or later.
- Click NCF Files Options.
- Select Edit STARTUP.NCF file.
- Insert the following statement at the beginning of the STARTUP.NCF
file: SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=OFF
- Find the LOAD statement for the LPFC.HAM driver and ensure that
it reads as follows: LOAD LPFC.HAM SLOT=XXXX TOPOLOGY=1 /LUN MAX_LUN=32
RSCNZONE=1
- Save the STARTUP.NCF file.
- Restart the server, or unload and reload the LPFC driver
manually.
Note: The MAX_LUN parameter
must be set to a number greater than the LUNs you have assigned to the adapter.
