eXtremeRAID 2000 Installation Guide

• odineb.nlm - This is a module combining the Open Datalink interface

and the Novell Event Bus (NEB). The NEB controls the device drivers
through the Open Data-link.

If the NetWare installation process determines that the server supports PCI
Hot Plug and detects the appropriate driver, the installation process adds the
following two LOAD commands to the autoexec.ncf file:

• LOAD sys:\system\driver_name

This command loads the bus driver (for Compaq, this is cpqsbd.nlm).
After this command is executed, NetWare autoloads ncm.nlm.

• #LOAD sys:\system\ncmcon.nlm

This command loads the Novell Configuration Manager Console,
which then loads odineb.nlm. These commands can also be executed at
the server console prompt.

Note

This command is commented out. If you want the
Configuration Manager Console to be loaded every
time the system is started, remove the pound sign (#)
at the beginning of the line.

Follow these steps:

1. Install NetWare 5 Service Patch 1.

2. Install the Mylex GAM DMI driver.

3. Restart the server. The autoexec.ncf will execute and it will load the

drivers and start ncmcon.nlm (the PCI Hot Plug user interface).

Note

If any LOAD line is commented out in autoexec.ncf,
the corresponding driver can be loaded manually by
executing the LOAD command (as listed in
autoexec.ncf) at the server console prompt.
