8.6.3 Notes for Double Backup
In a single backup configuration, in case a CPU/IO module or backup device fails, backup is not possible
until the failed part is repaired or replaced. If this does not meet your system requirements, consider a
double backup configuration.
Refer to the following notes on double backup configuration.


When configuring two sets of a SAS controller, a SAS cable and a backup device, two backup devices
are recognized separately by the OS. When scheduling an automatic backup job, make a job for each
backup device so that the other backup device can backup in case one device fails.
With BrightStor ARCserve Backup, backup is not executed if you enter an asterisk (*) in the group box
under the destination tab when defining a job. Be sure to create two backup jobs by correctly selecting
the device group for the group box, and entering an asterisk (*) or the name of the media in the media
box.

Notes for using Hyper-V
Brief system interruption during synchronization process
In the synchronization process of CPU modules, a memory copy is performed to duplex memory on both
CPU modules. Most of the memory area can be copied without interrupting the system through the
so-called brownout copy method, and just a small portion requires the system to stop. However, with
Hyper-V, the system cannot use the brownout copy method. Therefore, the system does not respond for a
longer period of time during the synchronization process of the CPU modules than without Hyper-V.
See the table below for the reference values of interruption during re-synchronization of CPU/IO modules in
a Hyper-V system. It is recommended that your system design take the interruption into account.

About Guest OS
Guest operating systems supported on NEC Express5800/ft series are the same as other general purpose
servers. Refer to the Microsoft web site for Supported Guest Operating Systems on Hyper-V.
Backup
When using Hyper-V on a FT server, prepare a separate server for backup in the same way as for other
general purpose servers with Hyper-V. For backup patterns, refer to each backup software company's web
site.
NEC ESMPRO Agent
For monitoring guest operating systems, NEC ESMPRO Agent for Guest OS is required. Contact your
sales representative for this software.
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 one team that is not assigned to virtual network is required.
