Preface

Note on erasing data from hard disks when disposing of the product or transferring it

Disposing of this product or transferring it as is may enable third parties to access the data on the hard disk and use it for unforeseen purposes. To prevent the leakage of confidential information and important data, all of the data on the hard disk must be erased before disposal or transfer of the product. However, it can be difficult to completely erase all of the data from the hard disk. Simply initializing (reformatting) the hard disk or deleting files on the operating system is insufficient to erase the data, even though the data appears at a glance to have been erased. This type of operation only makes it impossible to access the data from the operating system. Malicious third parties can restore this data. If you save your confidential information or other important data on the hard disk, you should completely erase the data, instead of simply carrying out the aforementioned operation, to prevent the data from being restored. To prevent important data on the hard disk from being leaked when the product is disposed of or transferred, you will need to take care to erase all the data recorded on the hard disk on your own responsibility. Furthermore, if a software license agreement restricts the transfer of the software (operating system and application software) on the hard disk in the server or other product to a third party, transferring the product without deleting the software from the hard disk may violate the agreement. Adequate verification from this point of view is also necessary.

Product and service inquiries

For all product use and technical inquiries, contact the distributor where you purchased your product, or a Fujitsu sales representative or systems engineer (SE). If you do not know the appropriate contact address for inquiries about the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series, use the Fujitsu contact line.

Warranty

If a component failure occurs during the warranty period, we will repair it free of charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty agreement. For details, see the warranty.

Before requesting a repair

If a problem occurs with the product, confirm the problem by referring to 11.2 Troubleshooting in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN). If the error recurs, contact your sales representative or a field engineer.

Confirm the model name and serial number shown on the label affixed to the right front of the device and report it. Also check any other required items beforehand according to 11.2 Troubleshooting in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN). The system settings saved by the customer will be used during maintenance.

3.4.3 Setting of Reserved SB

If hardware failure occurs in the SB which is added in the partition and it may be necessary to remove the SB. Reserved SB is an SB which is newly added in the partition instead of removal of SB. To configure Reserved SB in partition, following points should be considered. SB which is not added in the specified partition can be defined as Reserved SB. The following SB

- SB in free status

- SB added in other partitions

- SB defined in Reserved SB of other partitions

For details of Reserved SB, see “3.2.3 Reserved SB” of PRIMEQUEST 2000 series Administration Manual (C122E175EN).

Remark

- Flexible I/O mode configuration is required to implement the Reserved SB.

- Windows license verification is required depending on the com bination of SB and enables kit. For details “Activation depending on the combination of SB and enabl e kit” of “3 .4 Component extension” of PRIMEQUEST 2000s Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN).

Operations

CHAPTER 3 Work before Operating System Installation

3.4 Partition Configuration

Reserved SB configuration conditions

Reserved SB has following conditions.

- Reserved SB cannot be configured in the partition that uses TPM functions.

- An SB installed with 32GB DIMM cannot be configured on a Reserved SB of the partition, which is configured on the SB installed with memory having various capacities (8GB, 16GB, 64GB DIMM).

- An SB with 64GB DIMM cannot be configured on an Reserved SB of the partition which is configured on the SB installed with memory having various capacities (8GB, 16GB, 32GB DIMM).

If the above menti oned mou nting c onditions a re no t fulfilled , a messa ge dial ogue bo x of “Unable to register the specified SB#x as a Reserved SB due to the home SB is TPM enabled.” would be dis played and the Reserved SB configu ration would be prevented.

Memory Operation Mode may be changed after switch over of faulty SB to Reserved SB if:

- Reserved SB is configured for partition of one SB, and

- The Reserved SB does not fulfill requirements for Memory Operation Mode In that case, a confirmation dialogue box of “The DIMM does not satisfy requirements of the Mirror Mode. If you register the specified SB%s as a Reserved SB, the Mirror Mode will be disabled when switching to s pecified SB. Are you sure to continue?[Y/N]” would be displa yed when configuring t he Reserved SB. Reserved SB fo r partition of multi ple SB must follows conditions below. This is applicable for PRIMEQUEST 2800E.

- Mount two CPUs for Reserved SB of the partition.

- Reserved SB fulfills Memory Operation Mode requirements same as switching source partition.

- Mount the same type of CPU with the SB that configures partition for Reserved SB.

If the above mounting conditions are not fulfilled, a message dialogue box of “Unable to register the specified SB#x as a Reserved SB because the DIMM does not satisfy requirements of Mirror Mode.” is displayed and Reserved SB configuration would be prevented.

Points to be considered for Windows

When switching to Reserved SB in the partition operating on Windows,, Windows operating system is not activated at the time of initial start-up after switching to Reserved SB. Configure the Reserved SB in partition operated by Windows so that Windows can be configured automatically. For configuration details, see “11.4.3 Settings of Dump environment (Windows)” of PRIMEQUEST 2000 series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN). Turn on the [Start-up automatically] check box of [Start-up and recover] dialogue box. Consider the time required for reactivation, when the operation is stopped during SB failure resulting from the above mentioned reasons. Total 2 times are required for reactivation at the time of initial start-up and switching to Reserved SB. However, if below mentioned prevention procedure is executed, reactivation request can be controlled.

Windows re-start prevention procedure

The request of reactivation can be controlled by recognizing Reserved SB to the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series in advance. Execute the following procedures for all Windows partitions. If this prevention procedure is executed, reactivation is not demanded, when switched to Reserved SB due to SB failure.

1. Shut down the partition after completing Windows installation.

2. One SB is removed from the partition by using MMB Web-UI. When multiple SBs are installed, any one out of them can be removed.

3. Add SB for Reserved SB to the partition. For details, see “ Built in SB and IOU” of “3.4.1 Setting the partition configuration”.

4. Turn on the power supply of partition and start the Windows.

5. Login by Administrator privileges‘. Reactivate according to the instructions, if the message requesting the reactivation is displayed.

6. Shut down after Windows is reactivated.

7. Remove the SB for Reserved SB, which was added in procedure 3, from the partition by using MMB Web-UI.

8. Add SB removed from procedure 2 to the partition.

Points to be considered for VMware

When switched to Reserved SB by the partition wherein ESX is in operation, the guest operating system may not be activated at the time of the initial start after switching to the Reserved SB.

CHAPTER 3 Work before Operating System Installation

3.4 Partition Configuration

Set the items of automatic activation of guest operating system and BlueScreenTimeout while configuring the Reserved SB in the partition wherein ESX is in operation. For example, to reset the items 20 seconds after a panic occurs in the ESX host, set “20” to BlueScreenTimeout.
