7.1

System Down Time Caused by Duplexing CPU Module

In the duplex process of CPU modules, a memory copy is performed to duplex memory on both the CPU
modules. The system does not respond for a longer period of time during the duplex process of CPU modules
as compared to when Hyper-V is not used. The following are the reference values of each model.
Model/Memory Size
Express5800/R320c-E4
Express5800/R320d-E4
Express5800/R320c-M4
Express5800/R320d-M4
Use the above memory copy time as a guide when no load is applied to OS. The actual time may differ
depending on the status of use.
7.2

Virtual Network Setting and Active Upgrade

Active Upgrade process allows you to upgrade system and application software with minimum required
downtime while the Express5800/ft series system is online and available to users.
A team assigned to the virtual network by Hyper-V Virtual Network Manager cannot be used in Active Upgrade.
To use Active Upgrade, at least one team that is not assigned to virtual network is required.

Starting a memory copy does not cause OS shutdown. However, a process that
Important
was running before copying is interrupted, and it does not respond for a certain
period of time. The interrupted process will be resumed after the memory copy is
completed.
The time required for copying increases in proportion to the installed memory
size.
When a large amount of memory is installed, non-responding time will become
longer and the connection from a client may time out. Adjust the timeout values
of TCP/IP, etc., on the client side as necessary.
