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. 8.7.4 Supported Backup Software See the table below for the supported backup software on NEC EXPRESS5800/R320d.

NEC Corporation Revision 3.0, April 2016 20 CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC EXPRESS5800/R320e-M4 / Windows Server model 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.
