CorelSCSI Network Manager: README_3 Contents
============================================

The CorelSCSI Network Manager README files provide information that 
was unavailable before the User's Manual was printed. The information
has been divided into three subject areas, each of which is described
in its own README file.

This README_3.TXT file provides information about host adapters, 
drivers, and ASPI managers from specific manufacturers. For
information about required NetWare patches and CDSVR.NLM, see 
the README_1.TXT file. For information about CorelRAID, see 
the README_2.TXT file.

1.  Backing Up the Server
=========================

Before installing CorelSCSI Network Manager, backup the
entire server twice.


2. Data Technology Corporation Drivers and Host Adapters
========================================================

To use CorelRAID with the DTC 3280/3270 and DTC 3290 Novell 3.1x 
driver, you must include a switch when loading the driver.

For DTC3280/3270/3250 host adapters

1.  Load the ASPI manager for each DTC3280/3270/3250 host adapter
    using the following command:

       LOAD DTC80AS3

2. Load the disk driver once using the following command:

       LOAD DTC80HD3 [/RMOFF] [/XA#]... [/XB#]... [/XC#].....

       where

       /RMOFF indicates that CD-ROM and magneto-optical 
       drives will be managed by the CorelSCSI Network Manager
       driver (UNIV.DSK). 

       /XA, /XB, /XC and so on identify host adapters and #, a variable
       you supply, represents  the SCSI ID of a drive to exclude from
       the Novell file system. These drives will be managed by the 
       CorelRAID driver.

       For example, the following command prevents the drive
       at SCSI ID 1 on host adapter 1 and the drive at SCSI ID 4 on 
       host adapter 3 from being managed by the Novell driver:

          LOAD DTC80HD3 /XA1 /XD4

For DTC3290 host adapters

1.  Load the ASPI manager once for each DTC3290 host adapter:

       LOAD AESXNV31

2.  Load the disk driver once using the following command:

       LOAD AXSDNV31 [/RMOFF] [/XA#]... [/XB#]... [/XC#].....
   
       where

       /RMOFF indicates that CD-ROM and magneto-optical 
       drives will be managed by the CorelSCSI Network Manager
       driver (UNIV.DSK). 

       /XA, /XB, /XC and so on identify host adapters and #, a variable
       you supply, represents  the SCSI ID of a drive to exclude from 
       the Novell file system. These drives will be managed by the 
       CorelRAID driver.

       For example, the following command prevents the drive
       at SCSI ID 1 on host adapter 1 and the drive at SCSI ID 4 on 
       host adapter 3 from being managed by the Novell driver:

          LOAD AXSDNV31 /XA1 /XD4

3. Adaptec ASPI Managers
========================
 
When you load Adaptec's AHA1XXX.DSK, set the REMOVABLE switch 
to OFF to let third party drivers control removable devices. 
For example:

    LOAD AHA1540.DSK REMOVABLE=OFF

4. Always Host Adapters
=======================

The following files, which are required to work with Always IN-2000 host
adapters, are located on the second installation disk:

    IN2000.DSK   (ASPI manager driver using the NLM format)
    ASPITRAN.DSK (file required by ASPI NLM)
    AHDASPI.DSK  (ASPI hard disk driver)

The ASPI manager driver must be the first driver loaded and is loaded
only once. This driver automatically loads ASPITRAN.DSK. The ASPI 
manager driver recognizes all IN-2000 adapters installed in the server.
 
To load the ASPI manager driver, enter the following at the server console:
 
    LOAD [drive:]\[directory]\IN2000
 
    where [drive:] and [directory] indicate the location of the ASPI
    manager driver. Do not specify any I/O port addresses or interrupt
    channels when loading this driver.
 
If you're using one or more IN-2000 host adapters to manage hard disks, 
you must load the ASPI hard disk driver using the following command:
 
    LOAD [drive:]\[directory]\AHDASPI
 
    where [drive:] and [directory] indicate the location of the
    AHDASPI.DSK driver.
 
 
Updating Existing Servers Using Always Non-ASPI Host Adapters
-------------------------------------------------------------

If your server is using a non-ASPI version of the Always host 
adapter, you must update the driver to run an ASPI-compatible 
version. For more information, refer to your Always documentation.

5. Future Domain Host Adapters
==============================

The CorelSCSI Network Manager installation copies to your NetWare path
the required NetWare drivers that work with your Future Domain host adapter:

    FUTD_3.DSK   (NetWare 386 V3.1X disk level driver)
    FUTXPT.DSK   (NetWare transport level driver)
    FUTASPI.DSK  (NetWare ASPI manager for Future Domain host adapters)
    SIM950_3.DSK (NetWare 386 V3.1X 950 SCSI I/O module )
    SIM18_3.DSK  (NetWare 386 V3.1X 1800/18C50 SCSI I/O module)

The following files are also provided, however, CorelSCSI Network
Manager doesn't support NetWare 386 version 4.

    FUTD_4.DSK   (NetWare 386 V4.X disk level driver)
    SIM950_4.DSK (NetWare 386 V4.X 950 SCSI I/O module)
    SIM18_4.DSK  (NetWare 386 V4.X 1800/18C50 SCSI I/O module)

To load the drivers for 8-bit host adapters (TMC-850M), enter the 
following at the NetWare prompt:

    :load sim950_3
    :load futd_3
    :load futaspi

To load the drivers for 16-bit host adapters (TMC-1650/1660/1670
/1680/1790/1795/MCS-600/700), enter the following at the NetWare prompt:

    :load sim18_3 (followed by any optional drive parameters)
    :load futd_3
    :load futaspi

Note: You can add these statements to the STARTUP.NCF file 
      to automatically load the drivers on startup.


To unload the drivers

1. Unload FUTASPI.DSK.
2. Unload FUTD_3.DSK.
3. Unload the SIMXXXX.DSK module.

For example, if a TMC-850M is installed in the server, you would 
enter the following at the NetWare prompt to unload the NetWare 386 
drivers:

    :unload futaspi
    :unload sim950_3
    :unload futd_3
    :unload futxpt


Driver Parameters
-----------------

The SCSI I/O module for 16-bit adapters, such as SIM18_3.DSK, 
supports a driver parameter that disables the negotiation for 
synchronous data transfers for a specific SCSI device. This parameter
is provided for devices that can't handle the SCSI synchronous
data transfer negotiation properly:

    /!s=hba(target,lun)[,hba(target,lun)...]

    where hba is the adapter num, target is the SCSI ID of the device,
    and lun is the SCSI LUN of the device.

For example, the following command disables the negotiation for 
synchronous data transfer to the drive with SCSI ID 1 and LUN 0 on 
adapter 0. 

    :load sim18_3 /!s=0(1,0)

Warning: Use the driver parameter ONLY if the SCSI device wasn't 
         found by the SCSI I/O module during its initialization. 
         If this driver parameter is used for a SCSI device found 
         during initialization, the server may fail.
