After having explained in chapters B and C the installation of the ICP Controller as well as

that of the host-drives, we would now like to give you some hints and pieces of advice on

how to install Novell's operating system Novell NetWare. We shall mainly focus on Net-

Ware 3.x and NetWare 4.x. For successful installation, it is essential to study the NetWare

system manuals thoroughly. The information given in this chapter refers to the loading of

the GDT NetWare driver only.

The structure of the Host Drives, which have been installed with GDTSETUP (in chapter C),

is not known to NetWare. I.e., the operating system does not recognize that a given Host

Drive consists of a number of hard disks forming a disk array. To NetWare, this Host Drive

simply appears as one single hard disk with the capacity of the disk array. This complete

transparency represents the easiest way to operate disk arrays under NetWare; neither

NetWare nor the PCI computer need to be involved in the administration of these complex

disk array configurations.

The ICP Controller and the Host Drives previously configured with GDTSETUP are inte-

grated by means of GDT's driver software located on the GDT Novell NetWare disk. The driver

belongs to the category of so-called NLMs (NetWare Loadable Module).

GDTRP310.DSK for NetWare 3.10

GDTRP311.DSK for NetWare 3.11

GDTRP312.DSK for NetWare 3.12

ASPITRAN.DSK ASPI manager

CTRLTRAN.DSK Module for GDTMON

(Note: More information about the GDTMON diagnosis tool can be found in a separate

chapter of this manual.). The installation of the fileserver itself is carried out following the

Novell NetWare documentation. According to your NetWare version, copy the appropriate

driver, the GDT ASPI Manager ASPITRAN.DSK and the GDT CTRLTRAN.DSK module to the

boot disk or the DOS boot partition. During installation type in,

:LOAD GDTRP310 <ENTER> (NetWare 3.10) or

:LOAD GDTRP311 <ENTER> (NetWare 3.11) or

:LOAD GDTRP312 <ENTER> (NetWare 3.12)

The GDT ASPI Manager ASPITRAN.DSK and the CTRLTRAN.DSK module will then be auto-

matically loaded by the GDT driver (GDTRP310, GDTRP311 or GDTRP312). If more ICP Con-

trollers are installed in the fileserver (i.e., for controller duplexing), the above mentioned

driver has to be called upon several times. But as it is re-entrant, it is only loaded once. A

single ICP Controller can be chosen by selecting its PCI slot number.
