IV. NETWARE DRIVERS
Description
There is a separate SDMS device driver and ASPI manager for each of two major
releases of NetWare. For NetWare v3.12, the SDMS device driver is
SDMSNET3.DSK, and the file NETASPI3.NLM is loaded if support for the ASPI
interface is desired (this is required for devices such as tape drives). For NetWare
v4.xx, the SDMS device driver is SDMSNET4.DSK, and the file NETASPI4.NLM
is loaded if support for the ASPI interface is desired.
ASPI Support
The Symbios Logic ASPI interface is provided by the NETASPIx.NLM drivers.
NetWare, or third party applications, may use this interface to communicate with
any SCSI-2 device attached to a Symbios Logic controller, including SCSI-2 tape
devices.
Installing Your SDMS NetWare Drivers
Install NetWare as described in the Novell NetWare Installation Manual. The fol-
lowing information is provided to assist in the installation.
You can load these drivers only once. If changes are required (to reconfigure the
driver options), you must remove the drivers and reload them with the new option
settings. If these changes are permanent, and the drivers load automatically at server
boot time, you must specify these options in the startup.ncf or autoexec.ncf file.
Existing Installation Of NetWare With SDMS Drivers
If your current SDMS NetWare drivers are version 3.05.00 or older, they are named
NCRSDMSx.DSK and ASPICAMx.NLM. Replace the NCRSDMSx.DSK and
ASPICAMx.NLM drivers with the ones supplied on the new Symbios Logic device
drivers diskette.
If you intend the driver to auto load on NetWare boot, it is necessary to edit the
startup.ncf or autoexec.ncf file and replace the line:
LOAD NCRSDMSx.DSK
with
LOAD SDMSNETx.DSK
where x is the version of NetWare you are using, and are the command
line options (if any) you intend to use.
If your current SDMS NetWare drivers are version 3.06.00 or newer, they are named
SDMSNETx.DSK and NETASPIx.NLM. Replace the SDMSNETx.DSK and
NETASPIx.NLM drivers with the ones supplied on the new Symbios Logic device
drivers diskette.
No other actions are required to use these new drivers. You may want to review the
command line options to insure you are using the best options for your configuration.
