l By taking in the effects of performance, installation, and maintenance, it is recommended to
use the sharing file connection that interfaces the FC HUB/switch.
l Common file units should be administered using option software, Fujitsu SynfinityCluster,
for example.

Backups

To avoid data destruction from hard disk error or other cause, create backups regularly.
How to create data backups is explained in the following Chapters and Appendices. These
references also explain how to restore data after system recovery. Therefore, the users can use
the same references for the detailed procedures.
l For how to back up the partitions in the main unit:
Section 7.5.4, "Backup and Restore of System Volume," in the "System Console Software
User's Guide."
l For how to backup the SMC:

4 It is strongly recommended that users create backup data of the SMC system volumes.
If restoring system volumes is required for hard disk recovery, contact a certified
service engineer for recovery assistance . If a hard disk failure occurs, give the DAT
cartridge containing backup data of the latest system volume to a certified service
engineer.
