NetWare teaming
IMPORTANT: Teaming NC150, NC32x, NC37x, NC1020, NC6770, or NC77xx adapters
with NC110x, NC310, NC31xx, NC340x, NC360x, NC364x, NC61xx, or NC71xx
adapters is not supported for NetWare.
The HP Advanced Network Services driver name is CPQANS.LAN.
CPQANS requirements:
Use with NetWare 5.1 and 6.x
Always install the latest Novell Support Packs
Always install the latest HP NSSD
CPQANS teams with the following HP server adapters:
HP NC110T PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter
HP NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapters
HP NC340T PCI-X Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapters
HP NC360T PCI Express Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter
HP NC61xx Gigabit Server Adapters
HP NC31xx Fast Ethernet Server Adapters
HP NC71xx Gigabit Server Adapters
CPQANS requires the following Novell settings:
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 2000 (or larger)
SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 10000 (or larger)
SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 2048 (or larger)
Options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance
HP Gigabit, Fast Ethernet, and Ethernet server adapters teamed with CPQANS provide the following
options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance for NetWare 5.1, 6.0, and 6.5.
Network Fault Tolerance (NFT). Creates a team of adapters with the Primary adapter in the active
state and the remaining adapters in a standby state. Primary specifies which adapter in the team is
the Preferred Primary adapter. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails and is later replaced, or if a
cable is reattached to fix a failure on the primary adapter, the secondary adapter automatically
passes control back to the Preferred Primary. Works with any Ethernet switch or hub. NFT is the only
team mode that allows for a team of different speed adapters. Refer to the discussion on mixed
teams in the "Important teaming notes" section for more information.
