Netware Driver for FCA2210

[Blair Cassidy]

What Driver (*.HAM) should be used for the FCA2210 Host Bus Adapter. I am running Netware 6.0 sp3 with Netware Cluster Services 1.6. I am currently using QL2300.HAM Version 6.51.02 January 19, 2004. I am experiencing strange behavior with the Netware Cluster / MSA1000 and thought I would start with HBA driver.

Thanks

not sure if it will solve your problems, but there is a slightly newer FCA2210 driver (March 04). you might also check the MSA1000 and HBA firmware and upgrade those if they are out of date.

I think I figured it out; But could you verify if my assumptions are true. I was trying to configure multiple Netware NSS partitions on the MSA1000 that only had one logical drive. Once I created a logical drive for each NSS partition on the array, all seems fine.

On another note is it possible to configure the MSA1000 online using the browser based insight manager. I know it can be done using Windows and the microsoft HBA.
I did configure the MSA1000 using the bootable unix CD, But all nodes in the netware cluster abended as soon as ACU program started communicating to the MSA1000. Does the entire cluster have to be offline to use the bootable CD
Any insight would be great
