Enabling WOL under Novell

and 6.x

NICs and LOMs from Dell have WOL disabled by default. Having more than

one device enabled for WOL in a system can overload the 3.3‐volt auxiliary

power supply and cause it to malfunction. Dell strongly recommends that only

one device be enabled for WOL per system. To enable WOL, create a DOS‐

bootable floppy and copy the utility, listed in the Tools section above, specific to

the WOL device to it from the Dell Open Management Server Assistant or

download it from http://support.dell.com.

The steps to enabling WOL under NetWare 5.x and 6.x are as follows:

1. Boot the system using the DOS floppy, and run 'IBAUTIL.EXE',

'UXDIAG.EXE –t ABCD' or 'B57UDIAG.EXE –t ABCD'. These programs will

display the physically installed adapters and the status of each card's WOL

setting. UXDIAG.EXE is for NetXtreme II devices and B57UDIAG.EXE is for

NetXtreme I devices.

2. Choose the NIC for WOL, record its MAC address, and note its number on

the left hand side of the display.

3. Reboot the system and start the NetWare server. If the most recent Dell‐

provided drivers are not installed, install them.

4. For Intel based NICs or LOMs no modification is necessary, the driver is set

up for WOL by default. To turn off WOL, use the 'pmedisable=1' key word

in the load line. Set 'pmedisable=0' to re‐enable WOL

5. For Broadcom based NICs or LOMS, the keyword 'magicp=1' must be used

to enable the driver for WOL. Setting 'magicp=0' disables WOL, disabled is

the default.

a. Enable Intel WOL by typing 'ibautil –nic=X –wole' where X is the

number of the NIC in the display.

b. Enable Broadcom NX1 WOL by typing 'b57udiag –w 1 –c X' where X

is the number of the NIC in the display.

Enable Broadcom NX2 WOL by typing 'uxdiag –c X –wol 1' where X

is the number of the NIC in the display.
