30 Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation 2.1 Preparation on the Server Before starting installation, install internal options to the server and perform necessary hardware settings Installing Internal Options Before installing internal options, refer to "PRIMERGY ServerBooks" supplied with the server, and "Supplement" supplied with each option. Internal options that must be installed before the OS installation Install the internal options in the server blades, and install the blades and options on the chassis. For details on the internal options, refer to the following: Installing internal options to server blades "Chapter 7 Installing Internal Options" (pg.167) Installing blades, Power Supply Unit, and Fan Unit on the chassis "Chapter 4 Installing Options" in "BX600 S2 Blade Server System Unit Hardware Guide" Internal options that must be installed after the OS Installation Hard disk without OS installed Optional SCSI devices If an internal option device that must be installed after the OS installation has been already installed, remove the device, install the OS, then reinstall the device. LAN Cable Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet. If the OS is installed or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable, an error may be recorded in the event viewer after the setup process finishes. Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet until the setup completes. Cautions for Installing an Expansion Card When using an expansion card, read the notes on the expansion card. Cautions for Connecting an optional SCSI Device When connecting an optional SCSI device (DAT, etc.) using a SCSI card, connect it after installing the OS. Connecting it before OS installation may result in improper drive letter assignment. 30

31 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide USB Floppy Disk Drive and USB CD-ROM (DVD-ROM) Drive To use the ServerStart CD-ROM, connect the USB floppy disk drive and USB CD-ROM drive or USB DVD-ROM drive to the server blade to be installed. Use the USB Cable to connect them before turning the power on the server blade. It is strongly recommended that only products listed on the PRIMERGY website ( primergy.fujitsu.com) are connected to the server. 1 The USB device connection state must not be changed during running of the server blade, unless specified in procedures. 2 Cautions for Installing a Memory Module This server blade supports up to 12GB. However, the installable size varies depending on the OS being used. Furthermore, since the server uses part of the memory as PCI resources, the maximum available size is limited. The following shows the maximum installable size and the maximum available size. table: Maximum Installable Size and Maximum Available Size OS Installed memory size Available memory size Windows 2000 Server Up to 3GB Same as the installed memory size Windows Server GB 3GB (installed memory size-1gb) Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition Up to 7GB Same as the installed memory size *1 *1: When installing 4GB or more of memory in a server, the /PAE option in the "Boot.ini" file must be specified (except Windows Server 2003 x64). 8GB 7GB (installed memory size-1gb) Up to 12GB Same as the installed memorysize *1 Checking before OS Installation Do not change "Memory Test" to [Disabled] in the Main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility (The default value is [Enabled]). If it is set to [Disabled], memory failure cannot be detected at startup. Even when it is set to [Disabled], a memory count of 3GB or more will be displayed during the POST phase. However, this is a specification of the server and an actual memory test will not be performed

32 Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation Cautions Applicable When the OS is Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server In the cases below, editing "Boot.ini" file is required. For the procedure for editing the "Boot.ini" file, refer to the manual supplied with the OS. The "Boot.ini" file is an important file for the system. If the file is edited improperly, the system may not start up. Edit it carefully. When installing 4GB or more of memory in a server operating with Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, the /PAE option in the "Boot.ini" file must be described. A "Boot.ini" file description example is as follows: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt="microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /PAE /fastdetect When installing 8GB or more of memory in a server operating with Windows 2000 Advanced Server, /MAXMEM=8192 option must be described in the "Boot.ini" file. A "Boot.ini" file description example is as follows: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt="microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /PAE /MAXMEM=8192 /fastdetect 32

33 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Hardware Settings Before starting installation, set necessary hardware, such as the BIOS Setup Utility. Switch Block Settings Perform and confirm physical setting for the switch block of the server blade. An improper setting will cause the server blade not to run or malfunction. "8.1 Switch Block Settings" (pg.196) BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup Utility must be set in the following cases. For details on how to set the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to "Chapter 8 Hardware Configuration/Utilities" (pg.195). The contents set with the BIOS Setup Utility are recorded in CMOS and NVRAM in the server blade. This CMOS stores information with the built-in battery. When a setup message is displayed during POST even after setup was performed normally, the setup contents may not be stored in CMOS. The built-in battery may be drained. Contact an office listed in the "Contact Information" of the "Start Guide". Do not modify the item indicated "Fixed parameter" in "Chapter 8 Hardware Configuration/Utilities" (pg.195). The device may not run normally. Changing the Boot Drive To change the boot drive, start up the BIOS Setup Utility, and set the boot drive in the [Boot Device Priority] submenu. " Boot Device Priority Submenu" (pg.212) Specifying a Password To specify a password, start the BIOS Setup Utility, select "Change Supervisor Password" or "Change User Password", and enter your password. " Security Menu" (pg.213) Setting the Time Synchronization Function with the Management Blade To set the time synchronization function with the Management Blade, select "Sync RTC with Mgnt. Blade" in the [Main] menu on the BIOS Setup Utility, and specify the time synchronization function. "8.2.2 Main Menu" (pg.199) 1 2 Checking before OS Installation

34 Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation Using a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM Drive for USB (Change of Device Priority Sequence) When using the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM for USB, change the device priority sequence in the [Boot] menu of the BIOS Setup Utility. For more details about changing the boot drive, refer to " Boot Device Priority Submenu" (pg.212). 1st Boot Device 2nd Boot Device 3rd Boot Device Performing Remote Installation [Y-E USB-FDU] [CENERIC CDR****]( [#520 ID00 LUN0 ***] (When an expansion card slot module is not installed) 4th Boot Device [IBA CE Slot **** v] 5th Boot Device [IBA CE Slot **** v] Before performing remote installation of ServerStart, use the following procedures to enable network startup (PXE). In addition, check the MAC address. When booting the server blade with PXE, turn on the server blade power one minute or more after the main power of the chassis was turned on. Turning on the server blade power just after the main power was turned on may cause PXE not to boot due to the Switch Blade not having been started. The PXE boot function is not available for the LAN port of the 1 Gbit/s Ethernet I/O Module. 1 Take the following steps in the BIOS Setup Utility. Set PXE (IBA CE slot nnnn v) to the highest level in the boot priority sequence. For more details about changing the boot drive, refer to " Boot Device Priority Submenu" (pg.212). The boot priority sequence can be changed from Web UI or CLI for the Management Blade. Refer to "BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide". 2 Check the MAC address. After BIOS setup, start up the server from the network. After POST was completed, the MAC address is displayed as shown below. CLIENT MAC ADDR: ** ** ** ** ** ** The MAC address is required for remote installation. Write it down. 3 Turn off the server. You can confirm that the server is turned off using "Deployment Parameter" for Web UI and CLI, and "Server Blade MAC Address Table" for CLI of the Management Blades. For details, refer to "BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide". 34

36 Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation 2.2 Selecting the Installation Method When installing the OS for the first time, there are multiple installation methods. Refer to the following to decide on the method. To set up multiple servers with the same model and configuration, refer to "3.5 Installation on Multiple (the Second and Subsequent) Servers" (pg.97). What OS will you use? Linux For the use of Linux, refer to the Fujitsu PRIMERGY website ( Windows Server 2003 /Windows 2000 Server Windows Server 2003 x64 Will you use ServerStart? No Installation is performed manually. Refer to "4.2 Starting Manual Installation" and perform installation. Yes Refer to "3.1 Guided Mode" and perform installation. * If you follow the wizard, setup will be performed correctly. When setting setup information in advance on the client computer, refer to "3.2 Preconfiguration Mode" and perform installation. Installation Using ServerStart When an OS is installed using ServerStart, the driver for the expansion card that is automatically recognized will be installed automatically. In addition, high reliability tools and array controller administrative tools are installed automatically. Installation using ServerStart is recommended. For features of ServerStart, refer to "1.2.1 Setup Support Tool - ServerStart" (pg.17). Installation While Maintaining the Established RAID Environment In guided mode or preconfiguration mode, select [Use existing array] for [Configuration mode] at [RAID Wizard] (in the [RAID Configuration] window) and install the OS. Installation Using ServerStart While Maintaining the Existing Partitions In expert mode, start up Disk Manager, format the installation partition, and install the OS. 36

37 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide 2.3 Precautions on Installation Read the following notes before starting OS installation Installation Partition Size For installation using ServerStart, the installation partition size can be set as follows, depending on the OS to be installed and format. table: Installation Partition Size Available size Windows Server 2003 Windows 2000 Server Minimum 2200MB 2048MB Maximum 2TB 2TB Notes When you want to set the OS and BOOT partitions in different partitions, specify the partition size directly. (The BOOT partition is the partition for startup. Minimum information required for startup, such as "ntldr", is stored. The OS partition is the partition for installing the OS.) In either of the following cases, specify a partition size up to 2TB. When the same partition is specified as the OS and BOOT partitions When different partitions are specified as the OS and BOOT partitions The OS cannot be installed in a partition larger than 2TB. The Windows Server 2003 x 64 cannot be installed using ServerStart. 1 2 Checking before OS Installation

38 Chapter 2 Checking before OS Installation Notes on Configuring RAID Take the following notes when you configure a RAID system with internal hard disk units. Hardware Configuration When the OS is installed using ServerStart, only one RAID card can be installed. If you need more cards, install them after OS installation. Only internal hard disk units can be used. Be sure to use hard disk units of the same model and with the same capacity. Two hard disk units can be configured for installation. An array configuration cannot be established with only one unit. The only RAID level configurable with this server is RAID1. Checking before OS Installation When a RAID-configured disk is used Used hard disk units can contain unnecessary partition or array configuration information that can cause unforeseeable problems. Before connecting a used hard disk unit to this server, connect it to a different system and perform low-level formatting on the hard disk unit. For the low-level formatting procedure, refer to the manual supplied with the system used for formatting. When performing low-level formatting on a hard disk unit used on this server, refer to "8.3.8 Formatting Hardware Physically" (pg.227). Number of disk units If only one hard disk unit is set, installation with ServerStart causes an error and will be aborted. Be sure to configure two units Notes on a Multiple LAN Adapter Configuration Using the OS installation wizard of ServerStart, you can configure multiple LAN adapters (network adapters) on the system. However, there are the following limitations. Adapter Numbers To configure multiple LAN adapters, select the adapter numbers in order of Adapter 1 and Adapter 2, and enter settings for each adapter. Note that the order of adapter numbers is not necessarily the same as the onboard LAN port numbers. This means that the setting for Adapter 1 is not always applied to LAN port 1 of the onboard LAN. After installing the OS, check the LAN adapters to make sure that they are configured as intended. 38

39 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Cautions for Using ServerStart Operating ServerStart Most ServerStart operations are performed with the mouse. Items may not be moved with the [Tab] key or cursor keys. Be sure to use the mouse when operating ServerStart. Ejecting the CD-ROM Do not eject the ServerStart CD-ROM while ServerStart is running. If the ServerStart CD-ROM is ejected and inserted again, ServerStart starts up in multiple windows, and settings you have made can be lost. Exiting ServerStart After operation in guided mode or expert mode, exiting ServerStart restarts the system. Remove the floppy disk drive and CD-ROM drive cables and click [OK]. When the display on the screen disappears, turn off the system. License for Use of System for ServerStart "License for Use of System for ServerStart" linked from the ServerStart startup window is a license for use of Windows PE contained in the ServerStart CD-ROM.

78 Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart 3.4 Remote Installation ServerStart supports remote installation. Before performing remote installation, be sure to read "Cautions for Remote Installation" in the online help. Using the USB CD-ROM Drive / USB Floppy Disk Drive It is strongly recommended that only products listed on the following website are connected to the server. PRIMERGY website ( Overview of Remote Installation Remote installation is a method to save resources necessary for installation, such as the OS and Service Pack, in a different server on the network and install them via the network. If a remote resource server is configured, you can install the same resources to multiple servers. This method is useful in configuring multiple servers. Target Server and Remote Resource Server/PXE Server A server to which resources are installed is called a "target server". A server that stores resources necessary for remote installation is called a "remote resource server". A server that can start up a target server through network startup (PXE) is called a "PXE server". Installation Method Remote installation uses a PXE or a remote resource server. 78

79 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Remote Installation Using a PXE Server In remote installation using a PXE server, the network startup (PXE) function of the PXE server starts up the target server and performs installation in preconfiguration mode. This method is used when the target server does not have a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive. Installation using ServerStart 1 1) 2) Activated by IP address/ boot image Request resources - OS - Service Pack - Application etc. 2 Target server 3) Supply resources In addition to the PXE server, a "remote resource server" that stores remote resources and a "DHCP server" that performs the DHCP service are required for remote installation using a PXE server. When you have only one server, store remote resources on the PXE server to install the DHCP service. When you have multiple servers, select one for performing the DHCP service and another for storing remote resources. Remote Installation Using a Remote Resource Server In remote installation using a remote resource server, ServerStart starts up on the target server. Procedures for starting installation are the same as those in normal installation (preconfiguration mode, guided mode, and expert mode). Once installation started, resources necessary for installation are provided from the remote resource server. Thus, procedures such as inserting a CR-ROM are not necessary. Active ServerStart and start installation 1) Request resources PXE server - OS - Service Pack - Application etc. 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart Target server 2) Supply resources Remote resource server

80 Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart System Requirements for Remote Resource/PXE Servers Because remote installation is performed via a network, the environment must have at least one Windows server and a local area network. In addition, the following environment is required. Remote Resource/PXE Server Requirements table: System Requirements for Remote Resource/PXE Servers PXE server Remote resource server OS Windows 2000 Server SP2 SP4 Windows Server 2003 Windows 2000 Server Windows NT Server 4.0 Memory modules 256MB or more Operating environment DHCP server function (required on the same network) File sharing function (required) File sharing function (required) Notes on the PXE server Check that no other PXE server exists on the same LAN. Servers installed with software with the PXE function such as the Microsoft RIS function cannot be used as a PXE server. Checking Server Free Space Decide a server to use as a remote resource server / PXE server and check it for enough free space for storing resources. Checking the Number of Servers When you have only one server, use it as the remote resource server, PXE server, and DHCP service server. Check it for the required amount of free space. When you have multiple servers Check if a server performing the DHCP service exists. If not, decide a server for the DHCP service. When there are multiple resources, they can be divided and stored in multiple remote resource servers. 80

81 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Checking Server Free Space The following table shows the amount of free space required for each installation resource. table: Free Space Required for Resources Resource ServerStart Windows Server 2003 Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows 2000 Server Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Calculate the total resource size. Check that the remote resource server / PXE server has enough free space (free space greater than the space required for the resources). When the amount of free space is insufficient, you must use more remote resource servers Preparation of the PXE Server (When the PXE Server is Used) When performing remote installation using a PXE server, preparatory procedures, such as installing ServerStart, are required. Perform the following procedures to prepare the PXE server.

By storing this information, the system can be recovered with the stored information in case of a system failure (such as when the information is deleted due to the drain of the built-in battery). Use Server Management Tools for storing and recovering the system configuration information. 1 2 The Management Blade has the similar function, which collectively manages the backup of multiple server blade setting information items. For details, refer to "BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide". 3 Since the system configuration information is significant in maintaining the server, be sure to store the BIOS information after the following operations. In addition, save the stored data. When using this server blade for the first time When the information is changed with the BIOS Setup Utility When the BIOS version is updated When the hardware configuration of this server is changed (e.g. a CPU, memory, internal hard disk unit or expansion card is added, removed or changed). As the stored system configuration information will be used during maintenance, etc., send it to your maintenance personnel. Preparation for Using Server Management Tools Use the USB Cable to connect to the USB floppy disk drive to the server blade. For more information on the connection procedure, refer to "Start Guide". Before using Server Management Tools, prepare the "Server Management Tools" disk supplied with the server at hand. Cautions Server Management Tools are for this server blade only. Do not use those tools on other systems. If they are used, the system can be damaged. Only the information that is configured with the BIOS Setup Utility can be stored/recovered with Server Management Tools. The BIOS information in internal RAID devices cannot be stored/ recovered. Make sure to start up the server blade with the "Server Management Tools" disk before running Server Management Tools. Do not run Server Management Tools on the server started from the hard disk or by the other floppy disks. Otherwise, the system may be corrupted. Do not eject a floppy disk while the floppy disk access LED is on. Such an action may lead not only to corruption of the floppy disk data but also an unstable state of the system. 4 5 Operations after OS Installation

154 Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation Teaming Function Notes The notes on using the teaming function are as follows: For more details, refer to [Help] in Intel PROSet. The teaming function is available only for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server (SP2 or later necessary). Once a Team is created, a virtual adapter (example: Intel(R) Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter) is created on OS. Upper protocols are bound with the virtual adapter, not each physical adapter composing the team. Do not use the high-speed teaming function. When ALB is being used, you cannot use Windows Load Balancing Service (WLBS) or Network Load Balancing (NLB). Up to four LAN ports are available for each AFT/ALB team configuration. Up to two teams can be configured in the same system. Each system has different limitations for the number of available LAN ports. Up to two LAN ports are available for each SFT team configuration. Up to two teams can be configured in the same system. LAN cards in a team must be on the same network (broadcast domain). The IP address is shared. Only the following protocols are available for the teaming function. AFT/SFT: IP, NetBEUI, IPX (NCP), IPX (NetBIOS) ALB: IP, IPX (NCP) Only a link down error between a LAN card (onboard LAN) and the switch it connects with, and the equivalent errors lead to switching of the route. Therefore, if only the switch or LAN card (onboard LAN) is partially damaged and the route being used is sound at the link level, the route will not be switched in the team, but the communication with the Team may become an error. 154

Therefore, if the replaced card is used in the same segment, the MAC address will be duplicated. To replace the LAN card used in the team, you need to re-set the LAN driver in the steps as above. When installing a daughter card to replace in a different daughter card slot from that of the previous card, you need to delete and re-install the driver

158 Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation VLAN A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a collection of devices to connect to LAN, which are grouped in logical mode not physically. VLAN can specify a network segment that is available to a device. This enhances network performance and security. A VLAN has a function that logically groups users and devices, simplifying a network management between buildings. A VLAN is usually controlled by switch setting. A device can belong to only one VLAN for each LAN card. This driver enables you to configure multiple VLANs on one LAN card. This driver also supports the VLAN defined in IEEE802.1Q. PRIMERGY Server Switch (IEEE802.1Q support) VLAN10,20,30 LAN card VLAN10 VLAN20 VLAN30 Client Client Client Client Client Client Notes For more details, refer to [Help] in Intel PROSet. A VLAN is available only for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server (SP2 or later necessary). When adding or deleting a VLAN on Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server, make sure to use Intel PROSet. In Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server, do not delete or add the VLAN from [Device Manager], [Network and Dial-up Connections], or [Network Connection]. Not using Intel PROSet will prevent you from adding or deleting a VLAN properly. To add a VLAN again after a VLAN has been deleted, add it after the system has been rebooted. On a VLAN do not use protocols other than IP. Installing the LLC and LNDFC protocols using the Fujitsu communication control service will cause them to be bound (connected) unconditionally with the VLAN. In a system where protocols other than IP are installed with a VLAN, release the bind between the protocols and the VLAN. You can only set ten or less VLANs to a LAN port. For Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server, configure maximum four VLANs that enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the entire system. 158

226 Chapter 8 Hardware Configuration/Utilities Creating a Disk Array Only a RAID1 disk array can be created with the onboard SCSI array controller. Use two internal hard disk units of the same type and capacity to create a RAID1 disk array. Do not use internal hard disk units different in type from each other. Be sure to install RAID Management Tool to configure a disk array. For more details, refer to "Onboard SCSI RAID User's Guide". When configuring a disk array using an internal hard disk unit that has been used in another system and may contain partition information or other data, connect the hard disk unit to a different system and perform low-level formatting before physically connecting it to this server.

249 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Software Troubleshooting This section explains software related troubleshooting. For troubles during OS installation or system operation, refer to the following contents. Trouble at a ServerStart Startup After a boot from the ServerStart CD-ROM, nothing is displayed on the screen. This problem may occur if the hard disk drive still contains previous information. In that case, this problem will still occur when the Windows Server 2003 Installation CD-ROM is inserted. To eliminate this problem, physically format the hard disk drive to delete the previous information and start up ServerStart. For physical formatting, refer to "8.3.8 Formatting Hardware Physically" (pg.227). Trouble during OS Installation Automatic logon is not performed during Windows 2000 setup. During OS installation, ServerStart installs applications and hardware utilities supplied with the OS. Installation and subsequent restart and logon are performed automatically as necessary. In rare cases, however, automatic logon is not performed and the logon window appears. In this widow, logon the user name and password you have set before starting installation. After logon, the setup procedures are continued. Automatic installation stopped at an entry screen during Active Directory configuration. If automatic installation has stopped during Active Directory configuration, check the error message first. Automatic installation can stop when the password is required, such as when registration in DNS fails. Check the environment and continue the installation manually. If the problem is not solved, click [Cancel] and after the OS installation, manually configure Active Directory. If you have continued the Active Directory installation wizard manually, the following message appears when the installation wizard closes.

256 Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance Time Display in Linux OS Environment Difference in Time between the OS and the Hardware Clock During OS operation in a Linux environment, the software clock on the OS, rather than the hardware clock in the server, is used to display the time. This may cause a difference in time between the OS and the hardware clock. When you want to see the accurate time on the OS, it is recommended to use the NTP service to periodically correct the time displayed on the OS. Changing the Time Settings for the OS and Hardware Clock In a Linux environment, the time displayed on the OS (the software clock value on the OS) is written to the hardware clock in the server when the OS is shut down. Procedure for prohibiting the time on the OS from being written to the hardware clock When you do not want the time on the OS to be written to the hardware clock at an OS shutdown, comment the following line out in /etc/rc0.d/s01halt. runcmd $"Syncing hardware clock to system time" /sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS #runcmd $"Syncing hardware clock to system time" /sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS Procedure for reflecting the hardware clock value to the time on the OS To reflect the hardware clock value to the software clock value on the OS, run the following command. >hwclock --hctosys 256

Additional security functions provided by the BIOS Setup Utility, etc. are also available to help maintain a highly reliable data security system Hardware Security For details on the hardware security, refer to "2.1 Security" in "BX600 S2 Blade Server System Unit Hardware Guide" Security against Unauthorized Use A password can be set to prevent unauthorized use of the server blade. When a password is set, the server is accessible to only the users who know the password. The password is set in the BIOS Setup Utility. For details on the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to "8.2 BIOS Setup Utility" (pg.197). Password Types The following two types of password can be set in this server blade. The password types define the privileges of server operations. Supervisor Password (Administrator Password) This is the password that allows specific persons to access the BIOS setup. Unless the set password is entered, the BIOS setup cannot be accessed and the OS cannot be booted. User Password (User Password) This is the password that allows specific persons to use the server blade. Unless the set password is entered, part of the BIOS setup cannot be accessed and the OS cannot be booted. 262

264 Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance Changing and Deleting Password If a password is already set, you can change or delete it in [Change Supervisor (User) Password]. 1 When changing a password, enter a new one in the [Enter New Password] field on the password entry screen. When deleting a password, execute step 3 without entering any characters. 2 When changing a password, enter the password entered in step 1 in the [Confirm New Password] again. When deleting a password, execute step 3 without entering any characters. 3 Press the [Enter] key. When you delete the password, [System Password] or [Setup Password] on the [Security] menu shows [Not installed]. The system shuts down after three invalid password entries. If this happens, turn off the server blade, turn it back on, and then enter the correct password. If you forgot your password and cannot start the server blade, clear the CMOS with the jumper pin on the server blade to delete the password. After the CMOS has been cleared, restore the BIOS setting. ("8.1 Switch Block Settings" (pg.196)) After this, back jumper setting to the original, and use this utility to set a password Security When Disposing of the Server Notes regarding the Deletion of Data from the Hard Disk When Disposing of or Transferring the Server When disposing or transferring a server that has been used, the data in the hard disk may be read and used unscrupulously. To prevent confidential or important data from leaking out, the data on the hard disk must be wiped before disposing or transferring the server. However, wiping the hard disk is not an easy task. Simply initializing (formatting) the hard disk or deleting the files may give the pretense that the data no longer exists, but in reality the data is simply no longer accessible to the OS, and it is still accessible to malicious individuals that can restore the data. Therefore, if confidential or important data is saved to the hard disk, in addition to the operations mentioned above, it is recommended to use third-party tools or services to wipe the data completely from the disk to prevent its restoration. When disposing or transferring the server, it is the customers responsibility to wipe data contained in the hard disk in order to prevent such important data from leaking. Also, if software license agreements prohibit unauthorized distribution of software (OS or application software), transferring the server without removing the software may violate the license agreements. These issues must be taken into consideration. 264

265 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide 9.5 Backup This server blade utilizes high reliability components and hard disks, however, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that periodic backups be made of the data Importance of Backups If the data on the server is backed up, it can be restored from the backup data in the event of data corruption in hard disk units due to hardware failures or operational errors. If backups are not made, restoration is impossible and your important data will be lost permanently. For anxiety-free system operation, be sure to perform periodic backups of the system Backup Devices, Software and Their Operations Backup operations differ depending on network operating systems, applications, and system operations. Contact an office listed in the "Contact Information" in "Start Guide" and make backups using the following items. Backup device (e.g., DAT72 unit) Backup software (Standard backup software supplied with the OS, e.g., ARCserve, Changer Option) Backup operations (schedules) Use our genuine backup devices and software. Observe the backup medium (tape) storage conditions. Mirroring/disk array systems To improve system reliability, a mirroring or disk array system is recommended in addition to periodic backup creation. Operation and Maintenance 9 265

266 Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance Notes on Operating Backups Notes on using backups are as follows. For details, refer to the device manuals. Head Cleaning Airborne dust and dust from the magnetic media can collect on the head of the magnetic tape device. To remove this dust, head cleaning must be implemented. Implement head cleaning when the device displays a cleaning request. Particularly DDS devices require periodic head cleaning, otherwise dust can cling to the magnetic head, creating a situation that cannot be cleaned with standard head cleaning methods, and eventually render the device useless. Also note that the cleaning media has a limit on how many times it can be used. Using cleaning media that exceeded its lifespan will have no cleaning effect. Note these points especially when performing automatic backups with library devices. Managing Media Lifespans Media is a consumable product that must be replaced regularly. Continued use of media exceeding its lifespan can have negative effects on the device (e.g. increase the speed of dust accumulation). The lifespan of media varies depending on the environment and operation condition of the device, the type of backup software used, and other operation conditions, however, it is recommended that they be replaced sooner than later. To manage the lifespan, write the use start date on the media. Rotating Media Perform backup operations using multiple mediums on a rotating basis. When using a single media cartridge repeatedly, you will have time during which you have no backups. Or if the hard disk were to fail during a backup, the system will become unrecoverable. Avoid Leaving Media in Devices Because the magnetic recording surface of the device is exposed, media can be easily affected by airborne dust when left inserted for a long period of time. Insert the media before using it, and remove the media after use, and then restore it to its case. Also note that some tape devices write management information to the tape when ejecting the media. If the power were to go out when the media is still in the device, this writing process will not be performed and the media may become corrupted. To avoid this, remove the media from the device when turning off the server/device. Verifying Data after a Backup Some backup software products provide data verification functions after a backup is completed. Such functions will read and verify the data written to the media after a backup is completed. This will increase the usage of the media, thus reducing the number of times it can be used for backups. Depending on the hardware being used, some devices perform "read after write" operations on data; note the points of this section as necessary. 266

267 PRIMERGY BX620 S2 Server Blade User s Guide Ejecting Media after a Backup Some backup software products provide functions for ejecting media after a backup is completed. Such functions will rewind the tape after a backup is completed and then eject the media from the drive. Be sure to execute this function for autoloader/library devices. Depending on the structure of some servers, this function may cause the media to eject from an internal device of the server and hit the chassis door. If this is the case, open the door when ejecting, or do not eject the media. Media Label Types and Positions When writing information such as the name on media, use the label that came with the media. The area in which a label can be posted on the media of each device varies. Failing to post labels in the designated area can damage the device. Data Storage When storing data for long periods of time, store the media in a location least affected by humidity and magnetic fields. Operation and Maintenance 9 267
