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:
[Buzzer Stop]:
[Status Check]:

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
ftServer Utility.
Stops the buzzer (beeps) for a certain interval and closes this dialog box.
Starts the ftServer Utility.
Check the event viewer log and other logs for non-redundancy status.
