Verifying GeminiEngine Control Software Version
The following describes how to check the version of GeminiEngine Control Software, which consists of various types
of software for fault tolerance. Perform the procedure when you need to check the GeminiEngine Control Software
version of the current system before adding units or attachment to NovaScale/Fault Tolerant Server series.
Check the version following the steps below:
1. Log in the system as an authorized Administrator.
2. Open Control Panel from the Start menu.
3. Open "Add or Remove Programs."
You can verify the version that corresponds to the name of [GeminiEngine Control Software].
Changing the Color Quality of the Display to 32-bit
The default color quality of the graphics driver is set to 16 bits for the NEC Express5800/ft series.
The server rarely displays the following message when accessing a floppy disk and becomes unable to access the
floppy disk. The default color quality is 16 bit to prevent that from happening.
The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are
loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.
Even if this message is displayed and the server becomes unable to access the floppy disk, the processing completes
by accessing the floppy disk again.
If you need to change the color quality to 32 bit knowing this limitation, apply a special graphic driver as described
below:
1.
Log on to Windows Server 2003 as a user with administrator authority.
2.
Set the "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3.
From the Start menu, select [Run...].
4.
Enter "D:\HAS\W2K3\GA32SET.BAT" in the "Open" box (replace "D" with the drive letter of the CD-ROM
drive), and click [OK].
Then, restart the server.
To change the color quality to the standard (16 bit), perform the above steps but run "GA16SET.BAT" in (4) instead
of "GA32SET.BAT."
Compressing a System Drive
Do not compress the root directory and the Windows directory when compressing the System Drive. (The Windows
Server 2003 directory is labeled as "Windows.") If you compress the root directory and the Windows directory,
operational stability cannot be ensured because the Windows File Protection (WFP) may replace an unassigned driver
with a signed driver.
Cautions for Applying Windows Service Pack
Do not use your own judgment and apply the Windows Service Pack to the NovaScale/Fault Tolerant Server series.
