4-12 NetWare Drivers
Version 1.3 Copyright © 2001, 2002, 2007 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
The MPT ASPIMPT.SYS (version 5.02 or greater) DOS driver supports
the MPT 5.xx or later BIOS. SYMCD.SYS and SYMDISK.SYS provide
support for CD-ROM and MO devices under DOS. Neither SYMCD.SYS
nor SYMDISK.SYS are required for NetWare support of CD-ROM and
MO devices. For SCSI CD-ROM installation, ASPIMPT.SYS and
SYMCD.SYS are required.
The MPT NWPA driver, LSIMPTNW.HAM supports the list of DOS drivers
described below.
•
ASPIMPT.SYS
The ASPIMPT.SYS driver provides an ASPI layer interface for disk
and non-disk devices. If NetWare is being installed from a SCSI
CD-ROM device on an LSI controller, SYMCD.SYS is required with
ASPIMPT.SYS.
•
SYMCD.SYS
To install the NetWare operating system from CD-ROM, load the
SYMCD.SYS driver with ASPIMPT.SYS. Once the NetWare
operating system installation has completed, SYMCD.SYS is not
needed. The NetWare NWPA environment provides support for SCSI
CD-ROMs through the NetWare driver interface.
•
MSCDEX.EXE
The MSCDEX.EXE driver (provided with DOS) is required in
conjunction with SYMCD.SYS to install NetWare from a CD-ROM.
•
SYMDISK.SYS
The SYMDISK.SYS driver provides support for removable media and
large sector size devices under DOS. This driver is not required for
NetWare support of these devices.
Note: The NetWare drivers can function independently of any
DOS drivers, except for the installation of NetWare from a
SCSI CD-ROM drive.
1. In addition to ASPIMPT.SYS (version 5.XX or greater), SYMCD.SYS and/or SYMDISK.SYS
can be loaded for DOS CD-ROM and DOS Magneto Optical (MO) support, respectively.
SYMCD.SYS and SYMDISK.SYS are NOT required for CD-ROM or MO support under Net-
Ware.
