IV. NETWARE DRIVERS
Device Statistics
Device statistics are gathered on all devices registered by SDMSNETx.DSK with
the NetWare operating system. These statistics record the number of reads and
writes performed on a device and, if the device is power manageable by the SDMS
driver, the number of times the device is spun up and spun down. Statistics are
viewed, toggled on and off, or reset from the power management utility
PMSCHED.NLM.
Important Additional Information
For Information Pertaining to a Specific Driver
This document addresses options available on the Symbios Logic SDMS NetWare
drivers, version 3.06.00. For information pertaining to a specific driver, please do
one of the following:
• For NetWare version 4.XX, consult the SDMSNET4.DDI file for options
available for SDMSNET4.DSK. This is accessed via the NetWare install
utility.
• For versions of the driver 3.05.00 and later, use the -? option on the
command line of the SDMSNETx.DSK driver
About Memory Allocation
The driver allocates memory for certain structures based upon the maximum
number of SCSI IDs (max_id), LUNs (max_lun), and paths (max_hbas) that are
used in the system. The amount of memory allocated is based on the following
formula:
414 bytes of memory are allocated for the structure, so
Memory Allocated = 414 * max_hbas * max_lun * max_id.
So for default allocations, the amount of memory allocated is:
Memory Allocated = 414 * 8 * 4 * 32 = 423,936 bytes (414 KB).
For example, if
• only one host adapter is installed (or when using a Symbios Logic based PCI
SCSI embedded controller and no add-in host adapters),
• only one LUN per device is used, and
• the bus is narrow (up to 8 SCSI IDs), then by setting the appropriate command
line options, the amount of memory allocated is:
Memory Allocated = 414 * 1 * 1 * 8 = 3,312 bytes (3.4 KB).
