EISA Fast SCSI Caching Adapter
42
choosing the I/O slot number, the screen will display information about the
configuration of the adapter selected:
Host Adapter = DC820B
I/O Port Address = 330 (Hex)
Interrupt Level = 11
Adapter SCSI ID = 7
Slot Number = 5
In case that two or more DC-820Bs are present, you have to load the same
driver by typing “load nv311bme” as many times as the number of DC-820B
adapters installed. To simplify the booting procedure thereafter, you may
want to edit STARTUP.NCF file by adding the line:
load nv311bme slot=X
Replace the ‘X’ with an appropriate number. Refer to the NetWare manual
for the procedure to edit this STARTUP.NCF file.
Server-based backup/restore support
The server-based back-up/restore utility comes with the NetWare system
itself. Through the DC-820B’s ASPI drivers, you are able to use this utility
with the tape sub-system. To run this utility, at the NetWare prompt type:
:load tsa <Return>
:load sbackup <Return>
The Sbackup screen will appear. Input user name as requested and then
select the device driver. Be sure to select the item HP DIBI-2 Tape Driver
regardless of which type of tape drives you are using. Refer to the NetWare
manual regarding Server Backup for detailed backup/restore procedures.
Removable media support
Removable media devices, including Magneto-Optical (MO), differ from
fixed hard disks in that the media can be changed dynamically. Due to the
caching capability of the NetWare operating system, it is hazardous if a file
system (thus a disk) in operation is abruptly changed without the operating
system being notified. Should this happen the file system will inevitably be
corrupted. Another problem arises if a new disk (file system) is inserted.
