10 Chapter 1 Overview of Windows Server 2008 This chapter describes the functions and operating environment of Windows Server Features Windows Server 2008 is a next-generation operating system with enhanced functionality and improved reliability built upon the features of the preceding Windows Server families to enable easier server management and security control. With Windows Server 2008 running on it, the PRIMEQUEST server becomes a platform that has the manageability, robustness, and flexibility of a mission-critical system. PRIMEQUEST supports Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems (*). (*) The edition is not included in notations in this manual. Enterprise and Datacenter are not distinguished in Itanium-based systems. Management enhancements Dispersed information and tools can now be referenced and manipulated with Server Manager. Moreover, not only have the standard built-in management commands been improved but also the possible range of management through CUI operations has been expanded. Some operations that require the same steps to be repeated many times manually in a GUI can easily be automated in a CUI. Note: The Server Core Installation Option cannot be selected for Windows Server 2008 (IA64). Security improvements For each executed operation or function that has an influence on the entire system, User Account Control (UAC) displays a dialog box to ask for confirmation that execution is permitted. This prevents damage from the abuse of system administrator privileges. Furthermore, Windows Firewall has been improved compared with Windows Server U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 10

11 Dynamic Partitioning function (PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A*) In the past, to replace or add a system board (SB) that has mounted CPUs or memory, the system must be stopped. The Dynamic Partitioning (DP) function developed by Fujitsu in cooperation with Microsoft has been implemented in Windows Server With this function, an SB can be replaced or added in the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A* (**) without rebooting the system. (**) This function, which requires measures be taken on the hardware level, is supported by the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A* and later models. 1.2 Supporting Models The following models in the PRIMEQUEST series support Windows Server 2008: PRIMEQUEST 580A/580 PRIMEQUEST 540A*/540 PRIMEQUEST 520A*/520 PRIMEQUEST 510A* *: not supported by Fujitsu Technology Solutions U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 11

12 Chapter 2 System Design The basic system design policy does not have any major changes from Windows Server For details on the system design, see the following system design guides: PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A/580/540/480/440 System Design Guide (U41630-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B001EN) PRIMEQUEST 520A/520/420 System Design Guide (U41643-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B009EN) PRIMEQUEST 510A System Design Guide (C122-B018EN)* This chapter explains the requirements and necessary considerations for the system design for Windows Server 2008, and it provides notes on the system design. 2.1 Notes on Using the DP Function The system board (SB) configuration must be taken into account in use of the DP function. For details on design, see the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A Dynamic Partitioning (DP) Manual (U41799-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E085EN). 2.2 I/O Units That Can Be Used Supported storage units The PRIMEQUEST/Windows system has a SAN boot environment that uses disk array units through Fibre Channel connections, and the use of such storage units as ETERNUS* systems is recommended. The explanations of procedures in this manual assume that ETERNUS* storage units are used Supported PCI cards For details on supported PCI cards, see the following manuals: Section 2.3.4, "Compatible PCI card", in the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A/580/540/480/440 System Design Guide (U41630-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B001EN) Section 2.3.4, "Compatible PCI card", in the PRIMEQUEST 520A/520/420 System Design Guide (U41643-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B009EN) Section 2.3.4, "Compatible PCI card", in the PRIMEQUEST 510A System Design Guide (C122-B018EN)* *: supply and support in EMEA for Fujitsu s global accounts only U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 12

13 2.2.3 Mounting conditions of PCI cards and usable built-in I/Os For details on the mounting conditions of PCI cards and usable built-in I/Os, see the following manuals: Section 2.3.5, "Mounting conditions of PCI cards and usable built-in I/Os", in the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A/580/540/480/440 System Design Guide (U41630-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B001EN) Section 2.3.5, "Mounting conditions of PCI cards and usable built-in I/Os", in the PRIMEQUEST 520A/520/420 System Design Guide (U41643-J-Z816-x-76/C122-B009EN) Section 2.3.5, "Mounting conditions of PCI cards and usable built-in I/Os", in the PRIMEQUEST 510A System Design Guide (C122-B018EN)* Notes If Windows Server 2008 installation is performed in an environment where an FC card is connected to PCI Express Slot#1 or Slot#3 in an I/O Unit or Slot#1 in a PEXU connected to the PRIMEQUEST 520A*/520, installation fails. To install Windows Server 2008, disconnect the FC card, or connect it to Slot#0 or Slot#2. After installation, there is no problem in using Slot#1 or Slot#3. The following Web site provides the latest released information on mounting conditions in detail (firmware version, driver version, etc.): (select Mission Critical IA Server as product) Notes on the PCI address mode (PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A*/580/540) Fujitsu recommend PCI address mode to be set to PCI Segment Mode. If the PCI address mode is changed after Windows installation, Windows may not start up. Determine the PCI address mode when designing the system, and do not change it after installing Windows. For the procedure for setting the PCI address mode and related details, see the following manual: Section 2.6.8, "Setting various modes", in the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500/400 Series Installation Manual (U41632-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E001EN) *: not supported by Fujitsu Technology Solutions U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 13

14 2.2.5 Notes on the display monitor resolution No driver that supports Windows Server 2008 is provided for the PRIMEQUEST video controller. Therefore, the display monitor connected to the PRIMEQUEST server has only one resolution, 640 x 480 (VGA). However, a high-resolution display can be used for a remote desktop, and Fujitsu recommends using a remote desktop connection for system management. Prepare a management console PC that can be used with a remote desktop connection. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 14

15 2.3 Clustering PRIMEQUEST supports failover clustering (WSFC), which is a standard function of Windows Server A server that is a component of a cluster is called a node. If each node is a PRIMEQUEST server with Windows running on it, the most basic cluster system has a configuration of two nodes using shared disks. If Windows Server 2008 is running on each node, a cluster system consisting of up to eight nodes can be constructed. There are two types of cluster configuration with the PRIMEQUEST server: an inter-cabinet cluster whose configuration is spread across cabinets, and an intra-cabinet cluster whose configuration consists of partitions within one cabinet. Remarks To configure WSFC, a separate Active Directory environment is required. To configure a cluster system that does not have the basic cluster configuration (two-node configuration with shared disks), contact your a certified service engineer.

However, multiple nodes cannot access the same data simultaneously. Network configuration The nodes configuring a cluster are connected via a dedicated LAN used for communication by each node to monitor errors on the other node(s) and ensure data consistency among the nodes. This LAN is called a private network (private LAN). In contrast, the LAN used for business operation is called a public network (public LAN). Business applications Business applications are installed on all active and standby nodes. *: supply and support in EMEA for Fujitsu s global accounts only U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 16

17 2.3.2 Range for recovery of a Windows cluster The cluster can be recovered from faults in hardware components, such as a CPU, motherboard, and LAN card, and software errors, such as an application error. However, the cluster is not a fault tolerant (FT) system. In the event of business failover, business is suspended for a short period System construction A dedicated startup service is provided for construction of Active Directory (AD) systems and cluster systems. For details, contact a certified service engineer. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 17

18 Chapter 3 Installation This chapter explains the procedures for installing Windows Server 2008 on the PRIMEQUEST server. The recommended configuration for Windows is a SAN boot configuration using SAN storage units (ETERNUS*). The explanations of procedures in this chapter assume that the SAN storage units used are ETERNUS units. Remarks Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems does not support the Server Core Installation Option. Upgrade installation from Windows Server 2003 cannot be performed. *: supply and support in EMEA for Fujitsu s global accounts only U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 18

19 3.1 Installation Flow The Windows Server 2008 installation flow is shown below. Preparation for installation ( 3.2) 1. Build SAN boot environment ( Appendix D in installation manual) 2. Connect MMB and make settings 3. Remove internal disks Installation using SystemcastWizard Lite ( 3.3) Manual installation ( 3.4) Settings after installation ( 3.5) 1. Install High-reliability Tools 2. Connect internal disks 3. Install multipath driver Figure 3-1 Installation flow The following two methods are available for installing Windows Server 2008 on the PRIMEQUEST server: Installation using SystemcastWizard Lite Manual installation (through operations using the display, keyboard, and mouse connected to the main unit) U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 19

20 Table 3-1 Comparison of installation methods Installation using Manual installation SystemcastWizard Lite Preparation of deployment server (*1) Required Not required Time required for installation (rough standard) (*2) About one hour One hour and a half or longer Application of drivers/necessary tools Automatic application Manual application Simultaneous installation in multiple partitions Possible Not possible *1 A deployment server is a server on which SystemcastWizard Lite is installed. The prepared deployment server must be separate from the PRIMEQUEST server. For details, see the PRIMEQUEST SystemcastWizard Lite User's Guide (C122-E010EN). *2 This is a rough standard time from the start of installation, after preparation for installation, until Windows is ready for operation. It does not include the preparation time and the post-installation work time. This value may vary depending on the hardware configuration. Though preparations must be made (build of a deployment server and registration of resources) for installation using SystemcastWizard Lite, the time taken for installation is shorter than the time taken for manual installation. Also, SystemcastWizard Lite can perform simultaneous installation in multiple partitions. Furthermore, drivers and necessary tools are automatically applied. In contrast, manual installation can be started immediately with the Windows Server 2008 Installation DVD-ROM disk and the PRIMEQUEST Drivers CD for Microsoft Windows Server However, the time taken for installation is slightly longer than the time taken for installation using SystemcastWizard Lite, and drivers and necessary tools must be installed manually after Windows installation. Furthermore, installation in multiple partitions within a cabinet must be performed partition by partition in manual installation because the DVD-ROM drive is occupied. Select the installation method appropriate to the environment. To perform installation in multiple partitions, the recommended method is installation using SystemcastWizard Lite. To perform installation in one partition, or if a deployment server cannot be prepared, the recommended method is manual installation. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 20

21 3.2 Preparation for Installation Complete these steps before starting Windows installation. Always use these steps for preparation, regardless of the installation method Preparing the required items The following items must be prepared for installation of Windows on the PRIMEQUEST server: Installation using SystemcastWizard Lite Deployment server (server on which SystemcastWizard Lite is installed) Windows Server 2008 Installation DVD-ROM disk PRIMEQUEST Drivers CD for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Manual installation Console (with the keyboard, display, and mouse (KVM) connected) Windows Server 2008 Installation DVD-ROM disk PRIMEQUEST Drivers CD for Microsoft Windows Server Building a SAN boot environment Build a SAN boot environment by following the steps below. For details on the steps, see "Appendix D Installation in the SAN Boot Environment", in the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500/400 Series Installation Manual (U41632-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E001EN). Design the SAN boot environment The reliability of the PRIMEQUEST server varies significantly depending on the ETERNUS* or Fibre Channel connections used. Make SAN boot settings on the PRIMEQUEST server Based on the environment design, make ETERNUS* settings and related settings on the PRIMEQUEST server. Appropriate settings must be made for the Fibre Channel EFI driver. Make ETERNUS*/Fibre Channel switch settings Based on the cable connection drawing created during environment design, make settings for the ETERNUS*/Fibre Channel switch and PRIMEQUEST server, connect cables to them, and make other necessary settings and adjustments. *: supply and support in EMEA for Fujitsu s global accounts only U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 21

22 Note: Before starting installation, initialize the LUNs of the disk that is the Windows installation destination. If the disk has data remaining from a previously installed operating system, installation may fail Connecting the MMB and making settings The MMB comes prepared with the test environment configured by a certified service engineer, and test programs have been run on it. Therefore, switch from the setting for the test environment to that for the business operation environment. The necessary work items include setting the MMB IP address for business operation and connecting cables. After connecting the MMB, use the MMB Web user interface (Web-UI) to register a user account, make security settings, set the time, and make other MMB settings. Connect the MMB and make settings by following the steps below. Connection environment settings Connection environment settings for business operation for business operation - Make connection environment settings for business operation since connections have been set for testing purposes only. Network settings for business Network settings for business operation operation - Make network settings and Web server settings for business operation since the existing settings are for testing purposes only. Various initial settings for MMB Various initial settings for MMB - Register a user account. - Set up a user account for your Fujitsu certified service engineer. - Set a system name. - Set the date and time. - Set up telnet. - Make VLAN settings for the management LAN hub.

43 Remarks Use PRIMEQUEST Software Installer or SystemcastWizard Lite to install PSA. For details on installation using PRIMEQUEST Software Installer, see "3.5.1 Installing the High-reliability Tools". In Windows installation using SystemcastWizard Lite, PSA is automatically installed. For details on SystemcastWizard Lite, see the PRIMEQUEST SystemcastWizard Lite User's Guide (C122-E010EN). The necessary components for REMCS* functions on the operating system side are installed when PSA is installed. A certified service engineer will make REMCS* settings. Each of the following settings required for PSA operation are made automatically when PSA is installed: 1. Service settings PRIMEQUEST Server Agent PRIMEQUEST PEM Command Service PRIMEQUEST PSA Environment Control Service 2. Environment variable settings PATH variable The values used by PSA are added to the existing PATH variable. FJSVpsa_INSTALLPATH variable It is added as a new variable. 3. Port settings The TCP:24450 port is set for use by PSA. 4. SNMP security setting Security is set for the SNMP Service since PSA must receive SNMP packets from the MMB. Processing varies depending on the selection made on the [Security] tab in the [SNMP Service Properties] dialog box during PSA installation. "Accept SNMP packets from any host" is selected: No SNMP security setting is made. "Accept SNMP packets from these hosts" is selected: If the IP address of the MMB and localhost have not been set for SNMP security, localhost will be set. *: not supported by Fujitsu Technology Solutions U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 43

44 Notes If the SNMP Service security setting of "Accept SNMP packets from any host" is changed to "Accept SNMP packets from these hosts" after PSA is installed, or if the IP address of the MMB is changed after PSA is installed, execute the SNMP security setting command (setsnmpsec). For details on the command, see the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A/520A//500/400 Series Reference Manual: Basic Operation/GUI/Command (U41633-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E003EN) or the PRIMEQUEST 510A Reference Manual: Basic Operation/GUI/Command (C122-E096EN)*. When PSA is started for the first time after being installed, the error message "E_33077 PSA is Not Active. (01:0000)" may be displayed following an attempt to display the PSA page from the Web-UI. This is because collection of system sensor information takes more time when PSA is started for the first time. Wait several minutes, and then display the PSA page again. When changing the IP addresses of the MMB and management LAN on the partition side, be sure to restart PSA. Otherwise, a PSA page display error occurs in the MMB Web-UI, and errors detected by PSA cannot be reported. Note the following about Windows settings: Do not stop the Print Spooler Service, which is a Windows service. The operating system information collection function uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to collect configuration information. However, an error is reported to WMI when the Print Spooler Service is stopped, and then configuration information cannot be correctly collected. If a value less than (20 seconds) is the specified value of the registry shown below, a hang may occur at the operating system shutdown time. Make sure that the registry is set with a value of (20 seconds) or greater. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control " WaitToKillServiceTimeout" (Type: REG_DWORD; default: 20000) (The wait time (ms) until the service exits at the shutdown time can be specified in the above registry.) The following message may be recorded in the event log at PSA startup, but this message does not represent an operational problem: "PM child process abnormal end [6:750] (tagt) 1:0x " FJSVpsa event ID 62 *: not supported by Fujitsu Technology Solutions U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 44

45 4.1.1 Management LAN settings This section explains how to make management LAN settings. On the partition side, the network interface card (NIC) connected to the management LAN must be active since PSA and the MMB communicate with each other via the management LAN. Set an available IP address for TCP/IP (IPv4) and disable IPv6, because the management LAN does not support IPv6. Also in this procedure, redundancy settings for the network adapters of the management LAN of the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A*/580/540 will be made using Intel PROSet Teaming. Remarks Intel PROSet must be installed in advance. Specify "VLAN Mode" for the VLAN setting of the management LAN hub of the MMB.

69 4.1.6 Setting Watchdog monitoring for a period after a STOP error occurrence If a STOP error (fatal system error) occurs in the system, the system enters the following state: "Panic" is displayed for the relevant partition in the System Progress column on the [Partition] [Power Control] page of the MMB Web-UI. The operating system executes processing for memory dump collection. Monitoring can be set with Watchdog Timer as a measure for treating the system in a non-responsive state, such as a system freeze. Once the specified period elapses, the MMB performs a Hard Reset to reboot the operating system. Setting procedure Open the following file: [PSA-installation-folder] \etc\opt\fjsvpsa\usr\pnwatchdog.conf (Example: C:\fujitsu\FJSVpsa\etc\opt\FJSVpsa\usr\pnwatchdog.conf) Set a value for the key shown below. The default setting value is 0. Section: [WATCHDOG] Key: [TIMER] Setting value (unit: second): 0 (Watchdog Timer is not used.) 1 to 6000 (Watchdog Timer monitoring time) Remarks Determine an appropriate setting value for a partition by measuring the time taken for a memory dump in the partition. If the time taken for memory dump processing is longer than 6000 seconds (one hour and 40 minutes), do not use Watchdog Timer. If the setting value is shorter than the time taken for memory dump processing, a timeout occurs in Watchdog Timer, causing a Hard Reset and preventing memory dumps from being obtained correctly. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 69

70 4.2 Setting Up the Memory Dump Environment You can use a standard function of Windows Server 2008 to collect a memory dump. When Windows detects a fatal problem, it automatically displays a STOP error (i.e., BSoD), creates a file (dump file), and outputs the contents of memory to the file. If a system hang or slowdown occurs, Windows can be forcibly instructed by the administrator as described below to collect a memory dump. To perform a memory dump, sufficient space for the memory dump must have been made available on the system disk. This section explains how to set up the environment for performing a memory dump in Windows Server For details on memory dump-related operations, see "Chapter 1 System Maintenance", in the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500/400 Series Reference Manual: Tools/Operation Information (U41757-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E074EN). According to the emphasis placed on investigation of the cause of system problem vs. quick system recovery after a system problem occurs, set up the memory environment as described in the following sections before starting business operation Memory dump The memory dump file stores debug information for a STOP error (fatal system error) that occurred in the system. After the operating system and applications used for business operation are installed, make settings for memory dump collection Differences in information that can be collected in a memory dump The three types of memory dump that can be set for the PRIMEQUEST server are described below, and each type of memory dump collects a different range of information. Before collecting a memory dump, confirm that the hard disk drive has sufficient free space. Complete memory dump The entire contents of physical memory in the boot volume are saved when the system is stopped. The size of the dump file is approximately the physical memory size plus 1 MB. Only one memory dump can be stored. If the specified storage destination has an existing dump file, the information in the file is overwritten. A minimum memory dump is collected at the same time. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 70

71 Kernel memory dump The recorded information covers only the kernel memory areas. The size of the dump file depends on the memory usage conditions. As a rough standard, the size ranges from one gigabyte to several gigabytes (the theoretical maximum size is the size of mounted physical memory plus 128 MB). Only one memory dump can be stored. If the specified storage destination has an existing dump file, the information in the file is overwritten. A minimum memory dump is collected at the same time. Minimum memory dump Only the minimum necessary information is recorded. The required amount of free space is 64 KB or 128 KB. If this option is specified, a new file is created every time that the system stops unexpectedly. Normally, since it is sometimes difficult to solve a problem with a minimum memory dump, specify complete memory dump or kernel memory dump. For details on the memory dumps, see the following URL: Table 4-2 Memory dump types and dump file sizes Memory dump type Complete memory dump Kernel memory dump Minimum memory dump Memory dump file size Recording method Mounted physical memory size + 1 MB Overwrite (*2) Depends on memory space where operating Overwrite (*2) system is running Usually: About one to several gigabytes Maximum: Mounted physical memory size MB (*1) 64 KB or 128 KB In new file created *1 This is the maximum theoretical size. The actual size depends on the size of the kernel memory space. *2 The existing file is overwritten by default. You can set that the dump file not be overwritten. In such a case, however, note that no new file is created, unlike the case for a minimum memory dump. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 71

72 Note When a dump file is generated, the boot volume (C:) must have sufficient free capacity. boot volume is used temporarily to preserve the dump file in advance. This is because the When you preserve the dump file in the boot volume: Please prepare twice of the size of the dump file empty capacity When you preserve the dump file besides the boot volume: Please prepare the same size as dump file empty capacity in both the boot volume and the dump file preservation ahead. Selecting a dump setting Consider the following about selecting the optimal setting for system operation: Kernel memory dump is set as the dump type when PRIMEQUEST Software Installer is run. The causes of most STOP errors are in drivers, and the causes can be roughly investigated with kernel dumps. However, in the case of a system hang or slowdown, such as in a business application, the processing state of a process in user mode is important, and the cause of the problem may be impossible to determine without a complete memory dump. For a complete memory dump, the time required in creating the dump increases in proportion to the mounted physical memory size, and as a result, the system stop time before the resumption of business operation is longer. Furthermore, more space on the disk drive is required for storing the dump file. Therefore, if the mounted physical memory size is at or near the maximum, it may be impractical to make available the necessary disk space for storing a complete memory dump. Moreover, consideration must be given to how to send the dump file since the size of a collected complete memory dump is huge. If priority is placed on investigating the cause of a problem, the recommended type is complete memory dump; and if priority is placed quicker recovery of business operation, the recommended type is kernel memory dump. Determine the optimal setting by considering an acceptable length of time that system operation is suspended, the customer's desired operation policy, and other factors. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 72

73 Method of setting complete memory dump Complete memory dump cannot be set from the window for system dump settings. You can set it by changing the registry value as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl "CrashDumpEnabled" (Type: REG_DWORD; data: 1 ) After making the setting, restart the system. The storage path and overwrite settings for the dump file are the same as for kernel memory dump. For details, see " Method of setting kernel memory dump" Method of setting kernel memory dump Set the memory dump file by following the procedure below. 1. Log on to the server with administrator privileges. 2. Confirm that there is sufficient free space on the drive storing the memory dump file. 3. Click [Server Manager] [Change System Properties]. The [System Properties] dialog box is displayed. 4. Click the [Advanced] tab, and then click [Settings] under "Startup and Recovery". The [Startup and Recovery] dialog box is displayed.

If complete memory dump has already been selected, the setting need not be changed. 6. Click [OK] to close the [Startup and Recovery] dialog box. 7. Click [OK] to close the [System Properties] dialog box. 8. Restart the partition. The setting becomes valid after the restart of the partition Confirming the memory dump settings Collect a dump to confirm that a dump file is created at the appropriate location in the specified path. Confirm that the dump file update date and time are also the dump collection date and time. In a complete memory dump, confirm that the size of the created dump file is the mounted memory size plus several megabytes. U41805-J-Z /C122-E087-03EN 74

75 In a kernel memory dump, confirm that the dump file size is not extraordinarily small (100 MB or less), though the size depends on the environment. Also, measure the actual time taken for outputting the dump, restarting the system, and executing other processing in this operation, and estimate the time taken until business operation resumes. Then, reconsider the memory dump type as necessary. To obtain a memory dump, specify "INIT" for the target partition on the [Partition] [Power Control] page of the MMB Web-UI. For details, see the following manuals: Chapter 5, "Web-UI Operations", in the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500/400 Series Reference Manual: Basic Operation/GUI/Command (U41633-J-Z816-x-76/C122-E003EN) Chapter 5, "Web-UI Operations", in the PRIMEQUEST 510A Reference Manual: Basic Operation/GUI/Command (C122-E096EN)* Paging file The paging file is ordinarily used to temporarily store data from memory on a hard disk drive, but it is sometimes also used for temporary storage of a collected memory dump. To ensure collection of a memory dump, confirm that the paging file settings are correct Making paging file settings Change the setting by following the procedure below. 1. Log on to the server with administrator privileges. 2. Click [Server Manager] [Change System Properties]. The [System Properties] dialog box is displayed. 3.

81 4.5 NTP Client Settings This section explains time correction operations with the network time protocol (NTP), particularly operation methods for the PRIMEQUEST server. NTP is a protocol defining the method used by computers to exchange time information with one other. NTP provides a function that sets the system clock time to the time of a reference clock that maintains accurate time and subsequently keeps any time differences within a certain range NTP operation method for the PRIMEQUEST server This section explains the time correction method using NTP in each partition of the PRIMEQUEST system. In a PRIMEQUEST server, the MMB provides the NTP client function and NTP server function. Up to three external NTP servers can be specified with the NTP client function. Each partition makes its own time corrections using the NTP server function of the MMB. Figure 4-27 outlines the operation with an external NTP server.
