4.1.4

Configuration IOCTL Interface Support

Support for the MPI IOCTL Interface (see LSI specification for details) for
NetWare is provided by the

LSICFGNW.NLM

utility driver. This software in

conjunction with this driver provides an interface for management and
SCSI pass-thru utility applications. If your application requires this
functionality, the

LSICFGNW.NLM

software must be loaded after the driver

instances are loaded. This can be accomplished by adding the following
line to the

startup.ncf

file:

LOAD LSICFGNW.NLM

Only one instance of this NLM should be loaded. The NLM will
automatically attach to all of the adapter driver instances at that point. In
order for the

LSICFGNW.NLM

software to load from the

startup.ncf

file,

it should be placed in the

C:\NWSERVER

directory on the DOS partition.

4.1.5

ASPI Support

NWPA ASPI support is provided via NetWare’s NWTAPE driver.
NetWare, or third party applications, may use this interface to
communicate with a SCSI device attached to an LSI MPT-controller,
including SCSI tape devices using NWTAPE.CDM.

4.2

Installing the NWPA NetWare Driver
