Enabling WOL under Novell ® NetWare ® 5.x
and 6.x
NICs and LOMs from Dell have WOL disabled by default. Having more than
one device enabled for WOL in a system can overload the 3.3‐volt auxiliary
power supply and cause it to malfunction. Dell strongly recommends that only
one device be enabled for WOL per system. To enable WOL, create a DOS‐
bootable floppy and copy the utility, listed in the Tools section above, specific to
the WOL device to it from the Dell Open Management Server Assistant or
download it from
http://support.dell.com .
The steps to enabling WOL under NetWare 5.x and 6.x are as follows:
1. Boot the system using the DOS floppy, and run ‘IBAUTIL.EXE’,
‘UXDIAG.EXE –t ABCD’ or ‘B57UDIAG.EXE –t ABCD’. These programs will
display the physically installed adapters and the status of each card’s WOL
setting. UXDIAG.EXE is for NetXtreme II devices and B57UDIAG.EXE is for
NetXtreme I devices.
2. Choose the NIC for WOL, record its MAC address, and note its number on
the left hand side of the display.
a. Enable Intel WOL by typing ‘ibautil –nic=X –wole’ where X is the
number of the NIC in the display.
b. Enable Broadcom NX1 WOL by typing ‘b57udiag –w 1 –c X’ where X
is the number of the NIC in the display.
c. Enable Broadcom NX2 WOL by typing ‘uxdiag –c X –wol 1’ where X
is the number of the NIC in the display.
3. Reboot the system and start the NetWare server. If the most recent Dell‐
provided drivers are not installed, install them.
4. For Intel based NICs or LOMs no modification is necessary, the driver is set
up for WOL by default. To turn off WOL, use the ‘pmedisable=1’ key word
in the load line. Set ‘pmedisable=0’ to re‐enable WOL
5. For Broadcom based NICs or LOMS, the keyword ‘magicp=1’ must be used
to enable the driver for WOL. Setting ‘magicp=0’ disables WOL, disabled is
the default.
