GeminiEngine Monitor Tool

This section gives a brief explanation for "GeminiEngine Monitor Tool."

Overview

"GeminiEngine Monitor Tool" is a tool that monitors if the server status is duplex. If the status changes from duplex to
simplex, and the FT STATUS LED of the server turns off or illuminates amber, the tool sounds beeps for a certain
interval and displays a dialog box reporting the status change.
Also, if versions of the firmware (System BIOS) stored on CPU/IO modules differ between module #0 and module #1,
the older version is automatically updated to the newer one.

When the Server Status Becomes Non-redundant

GeminiEngine Monitor Tool displays the following dialog box when the system status becomes non-redundant:
Buttons:

Automatic firmware update

There are two ways to automatically update firmware:
If the version of the firmware (System BIOS) stored in the CPU/IO module is newer than the one stored in the
module to be installed later, the firmware is automatically updated when installing the CPU/IO module, and then
the system is duplexed. At this time, you can set whether to enable the automatic update of the firmware by the
system setup function of Server Maintenance Utility.
