The 73.2 GB of hard disk drive is recommended to install as system drive in order to reduce the time to resynchronize,when the system memory is below 20GB. When the system memory is 20GB or more,the system Disk needs to be

146.5GB or larger. Also,300GB HDD is required when the system memory is 48GB or more.

*The RDR resumes disk mirroring by performing quick copies of only data changes, helping reduce the resynchronization time. However, please note that it would be the whole copy when replacing with a new disk.

Server Management (EXPRESSSCOPE Engine2)

R320a-E4 and R320b-M4 have the enhanced remote management function “EXPRESSSCOPE Engine2” as standard.

EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 (Standard)

*There is Management LAN port (100/10BASE-TX) on each CPU/IO module.

Notes for using the backup software

- When using BrightStor ARCserve for restore, please use the same tape drive product used at the backup. A data exchange between different tape drives is not supported. Even if the same specification tape is used, there may be an error or some problems since the BrightStorARCserve controls differently depending on the type of tape device.

ServicePack and update modules for BrightStor ARCserve can be downloaded from the CA website (http://www.ca.com/). "Disaster Recovery Option" is not supported on the FT server system.

- Update modules/drivers for Backup Exec can be downloaded from the Symantec website (http://www.symantec.com/). You need to change the registry setting before reboot after applying update module or driver installation. Refer to the User‘s Guide for the procedure. “Intelligent Disaster Recovery option” is not supported on the FT server system.

- It is not supported to back up from NEC Express5800/ft series to a backup device directly using NetBackup. However, NEC Express5800/ft series can be a backup-client machine of NetBackup. "Disaster Recovery Option" is not supported on the ft server system.

- When using Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V on FT server, prepare a separate server for backup. For backup patterns, refer to each backup software company's web site.

Notes for using Hyper-V

System halt Time when Duplexing CPU Module

In the synchronization process of CPU modules, a memory copy is performed to duplex memory on both CPU modules. Some part of memory area can be copied without stopping the system while the other part requires the system to stop. When using Hyper-V, the system cannot use the function to copy without stopping the system. Therefore, the system does not respond for a longer period of time during the synchronization process of CPU modules as compared to when Hyper-V is not used. The following are the reference values of each model.

Note:

1)Memory copy time depends on the memory size installed in the system.

2) When a large amount of memory is installed, non-responding time will be longer and the connection from a client may time out. Adjust the timeout values of TCP/IP, etc., on the client side as necessary.

Notes for using Hyper-V

Backup

When using Hyper-V on FT server, prepare a separate server for backup. For backup patterns, refer to each backup software company's web site.

NEC ESMPRO Agent

For monitoring guest OS, NEC ESMPRO Agent for Guest OS is required.

Active Upgrade

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 two teams are required.
