Step H. Decide I
2
O or Non-I
2
O Operation
If you plan to install NetWare 4.2 or 5, decide whether you want to operate in I
2
O
mode or in conventional non-I
2
O mode. This determines whether you should load
the HP NetRAID OSM (for I
2
O) or the non-I
2
O HP NetRAID drivers in Step J.
• Conventional non-I
2
O HP NetRAID drivers are provided for all network
operating systems supported by the integrated HP NetRAID controller.
• Novell NetWare versions 4.2 and 5 support I
2
O operation. They supply the
OS Services Module (OSM) required for I
2
O operation. The HP NetRAID
firmware supports I
2
O operation when the OSM is present and the PCI
class code is set to "I2O" mode for the integrated HP NetRAID controller
and for all other I
2
O-capable HP NetRAID adapters in the system.
◊ The boot controller cannot be the integrated HP NetRAID controller or
any other HP NetRAID Series adapter operating in I
2
O mode.
◊ To support I
2
O operation of integrated HP NetRAID, install NetWare
manually, not automatically, in Step J and follow the installation
instructions in your NetWare documentation.
◊ For OSM installation instructions, refer to your NetWare
documentation.
◊ To change the PCI class code, either see Step L in this chapter, or use
the Set Class utility "NetRAID Software for DOS" diskette in the
diskette library on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
Data written or read during I
2
O operation is fully compatible with data written or
read during non-I
2
O operation.
