Setting the System Operation

The following properties can be set as the common operation.
Quick dump
When this property is enabled (by checking Enable on the setup screen), the memory dump is collected by
Quick dump feature in parallel with the system startup if a fault occurs in the system. When this property is
disabled, the dump is performed by OS standard feature.
The default value is Disable.
Auto firmware update
If a new CPU module containing BIOS different from that of the existing CPU module in version with this
property being enabled (by checking Enable on the setup screen), the BIOS of the new CPU module is
updated to the BIOS of the existing CPU module to match with each other. If this property is disabled, the
BIOS of the new CPU module is not updated automatically.
The default value is Enable.
Auto module start
When this property is set to Enable (select it on the setting screen), synchronization of CPU module starts
automatically at the time of OS starting or after exchanging module. If this property is set to Disable,
synchronization of CPU module does not start automatically, so start the CPU module by the ft server utility
or the like to start synchronization. In addition, PCI module starts automatically regardless of the property
(Enable/Disable).
The default value is Enable.

Note  When memory dump is collected by Quick dump feature, the CPU module becomes
the simplex state after starting the system and memory dump is collected by one side
of the CPU module.
Therefore, if the system failure occurs while collecting memory dump, there is a
possibility that collecting memory dump is failed or the system stops.
 The duplicate of the CPU module after collecting memory dump depends on the
setting Enable automatic module start. If the setting Enable automatic module
start is disabled, the CPU module does not become the duplex state automatically.
 The CPU module changes to simplex state until the completion of writing memory
dump image. Therefore, please note that it takes a longer time than usual to be
duplex state.
(Example: When the size of dump file which is saved is 96GB, it takes about 120
minutes.)
If you shutdown the system while collecting memory dump, the collecting is failed.

 If you use Quick dump feature, there are precautions. Refer to Chapter 1 (4.2
Precautions for Using Online dump or Quick dump feature) in Installation Guide
(Windows).
