CHECK THE DUPLICATING OPERATION OF MODULES

This section describes how to check if the system runs properly after system installation or reinstallation.

Evaluate Start-up and Stop of CPU/IO Modules

This section describes how to confirm the continuous system operation by failover after stopping one CPU/IO module.
1.
Check whether the CPU/IO modules are duplicated.
When the CPU/IO modules are duplicated, the FT status LED is illuminating in green.
IMPORTANT:
When stopping the CPU/IO module of the server, stop the CPU module first, followed by the IO module. When
starting the CPU/IO module, start the IO module first, followed by the CPU module.
2.
Stop the operation of a CPU module to be removed using the Server Maintenance Utility. Select [Start] - [All
Programs] - [NEC ESMPRO Agent] - [Server Maintenance Utility] to start the Server Maintenance Utility.
Then, from the [Server maintenance utility], select [CPU Module] and then the CPU module you want to stop
from the tree on the left pane. Click [Down] on [Bring Up/Bring Down].
When stopping the CPU module, FT status LED is turned off. This means that the CPU module operates in
simplex mode and the redundancy of the device has been lowered.
3.
Stop the operation of the IO module by using Server Maintenance Utility. Then select the IO module (described
as PCI module on Server Maintenance Utility) under the same module with the CPU module stopped in the
previous step, ,and click [Down] on [Bring Up/Bring Down]
