Netware 5

For new NetWare 5 servers:

1.	Start the Netware 5 installation as you normally would.
2.	When you reach the point in the installation where you 
	install storage adapters, choose "Modify" in the "Options" 
	window and press ENTER.
3.	Highlight the "Storage Adapters" field and press ENTER.
4.	Press the INSERT key on your keyboard to "Add" a device.
5.	Insert the FastTrak100 driver disk into your A: floppy 
	drive.
6.	Press the insert key again to "Add an unlisted driver".
7.	Insert disk with FASTTRAK.DDI and FASTTRAK.HAM. Press 
	the enter key. 
8.	The FASTTRAK.HAM driver should be listed in the "Select a
	driver 	to install:" window. Press ENTER to select this 
	driver.
9.	If you need to install any additional drivers for other 
	storage adapters, choose "Yes" in the "Do you want to 
	select an additional storage driver?" window. If not, 
	choose "No".
10.	Choose "Return to driver summary" in the "Additional Driver
	Options" window and press enter.
	
	NOTE: The FastTrak Controller will NOT BE LISTED along with
	the onboard IDE Controllers (IDECD and IDEHD) even though 
	the driver has been accepted by the installation

11.	Choose "CONTINUE" in the options window and press ENTER.
12.	Continue with installation by installing driver for the 
	network adapter.
13.	After loading the NIC driver the installation will search 
	for disk drives and return a list of any arrays or logical
	disks attached to the FastTrak controller or onboard 
	controllers.

	NOTE: When an array is located on the FastTrak controller, 
	the installation will display info similar to this:

	Promise 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 (V611-A1-D0:0)

14.	Select disk or array for install and continue as normal.



For existing NetWare 5 servers:

1.	From the System Console type "load NWCONFIG".
2.	Choose "Driver Options".
3.	Choose "Configure disk and storage device drivers".
4.	Choose "Select an additional driver".
5.	Press the INSERT key on your keyboard.
6.	Insert the FastTrak100 driver disk into your A: floppy 
	drive.
7.	Press F3 and type in the path where the FastTrak Netware 
	driver is loaded in the "Specify a directory path:" 
	window (e.g. - "A:\NETWARE"). Press ENTER.

Netware Error and Informational Messages 

The FastTrak100 TX/LP series Netware driver will display error and 
other informational messages to the console. 


	"Warning...Master/Slave Device on Channel [1/2] for Promise
	RAID [0/1/0+1] Deactivated"

A problem has been detected in one of the drives of the array and 
the drive has been taken "offline." 

If this is a RAID 0 or Spanning array, the entire array has been
taken "offline" and you have likely lost data. Fix/replace the 
drive that has failed, then restore data from a backup source.

If this is a Mirroring array (RAID 1 or RAID 0+1) the array is in 
"critical" mode. However, a "critical" array will continue to save 
and retrieve data from the remaining working drive(s). Promise 
recommends replacing the failed drive as soon as possible since a 
"Critical" array offers no data redundancy.


	"Device on Channel [1/2] for "Mirror RAID Model" is 
	Rebuilding"

This message will appear after a failed disk has been replaced with
another drive. If there is a "spare" unassigned drive present on
the FastTrak100 a rebuild will automatically be performed from the 
remaining working drive.

NOTE: During Array Rebuild, users may continue to access the array 
and perform normal PC functions however the array will NOT provide 
data redundancy until Rebuild is completed. If you choose to 
continue using the PC during rebuild, system performance will be 
slightly degraded and the process will take longer.


"Device on Channel [1/2] for "Mirror RAID Model" Rebuild Completed"

This message will be displayed when the array has completed 
rebuilding. The array is now "functional" and fault tolerant.


TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES:

1.	Always install the FastTrak driver before the NIC driver.

2.	Netware support for IRQ sharing is limited. Try to avoid 
	IRQ sharing (especially with NIC's) by allocating a seperate
	IRQ for the fASTtRAK Controller. We also recommend setting 
	Plug and Play OS in the system BIOS to "NO".

3.	If controller is not found when using load command at console, 
	try moving the card to another slot. Verify that the card is 
	on a separate IRQ.

4.	If the OS fails to boot try moving the FASTTRAK.HAM line in 
	STARTUP.NCF to the beginning of the file, before the "Load 
	IDEHD.CDM" line.
