MSL Driver

Location of driver: \MSL\E100SMSL.MSL

Sample Load Command
LOAD C:<PATH>\E100SMSL SLOT=n

General Instructions:
The mirrored server driver, E100SMSL.MSL, is the driver that does the actual mirroring between two NetWare* 4.1 servers.

  1. Make sure your adapters are connected with a crossover cable (you can use a dedicated hub, but its not necessary). For information on making a crossover cable, see the help file called "Making a crossover cable".

  2. Copy the MSL driver from the \MSL directory on the "Configuration and Driver" disk to the appropriate directory on both servers.

    E100SMSL.MSL

  3. Start the mirrored server program (MSERVER.EXE) on both servers.

  4. At both server consoles issue the following load statement:

    LOAD E100SMSL SLOT=n

    Where:
    SLOT=n is the PCI device number. If you don*t know the number, load the driver without it. NetWare will prompt you with available PCI device numbers.

    You can also specify speed on the command line (SPEED=x). The default speed for the MSL driver is 100 Mbps.

  5. Add this load statement to the IOSTART.NCF file on both servers so that E100SMSL.MSL loads automatically every time you run MSERVER.
