Chapter 8 Choosing Adapter Teaming Options
32
NOTE The
HPANS.LAN
driver requires more
resources (memory) than a traditional LAN
driver. To accommodate this, the minimum
and maximum packet receive buffers need to
be increased. The exact numbers depend on
the complexity of the team; however, the
following settings (which are to be added to
the
STARTUP.NCF
file) should be sufficient
for most single team systems.
Copy these lines into the STARTUP.NCF file
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE
BUFFERS=500
SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE
BUFFERS=2000
Copy these lines into the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
;- Load the base driver for each adapter
where x is the primary adapter’s slot
number and y is the secondary adapter’s
slot number.
load CHPTX slot=x name=primary
load CHPTX slot=y name=secondary
Do not bind protocols to the base (CHPTX) driver.
;- Load HPANS to form the basis of a team
load HPANS
;- Bind HPANS to each physical adapter
bind HPANS CHPTX primary
bind HPANS CHPTX secondary
;- Use HPANS to commit the team where z is
the teaming mode of your choice: Specify
AFT for Adapter Fault Tolerance, ALB for
Adaptive Load Balancing, or FEC for Fast
Ether Channel.
load HPANS commit mode=z
