NetWare Release Notes
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Host Operating System Support of Multi-Bus Failover
Multi-bus failover is supported on the Novell NetWare operating system through
the use of Secure Path software. Refer to “Secure Path Software” on page 32, for
version compatibility and restrictions.
Virtual Disk Wizard in Multi-Bus Failover Mode
When creating a virtual disk using the SWCC Virtual Disk Wizard, in Step 4 of
that process, the default value for host access is “none.” You must change this
value to one of the host names provided; otherwise, the virtual disk you have just
added will be inaccessible.
Note: Virtual Disk Wizard in multi-bus failover mode is not supported with the Secure
Path driver.
Mounting a Clone
Before mounting a Clone, make sure you move it to another system. Having two
identical NetWare Volume Names on the same system can cause problems.
NetWare does not allow you to mount a Snapshot on the same server that hosts the
original volume. NetWare views the Snapshot as a software mirror of the original
volume and does not allow you to mount both copies on the same server. The
Snapshot can only be mounted on another NetWare server.
Cluster Configurations
If using an array in a cluster configuration, leave 5 MB free on one array for
cluster configuration information.
SCSI-2 Configurations
Do not use LUN 0 with Novell NetWare in multi-bus failover mode. Do not use
LUN 0 or LUN 100 with Novell NetWare in transparent failover mode.
