3-32 HP Netserver AA Solution Installation Guide
5 Make sure that all computers reboot
and that the CEs synchronize. • Both IOPs must be present for the
Endurance server to complete the boot
process.
Because all I/O devices (including the CE
boot disk with the CE operating system)
physically reside on the IOPs, the CEs do
not begin booting until both IOPs complete
their boot process and are available.
If the CEs are powered on at the same time
as the IOPs, the CEs complete their POST,
and then wait for the IOPs to complete their
boot process.
• After the IOPs complete their boot process,
the CEs boot: one CE loads the Windows
operating system; then the other CE is
synchronized so that both CEs perform all
CPU and memory functions in a tightly
coupled manner.
6 If necessary, start the CE Desktop
application on either IOP. The CE Desktop application should start
automatically.
7 Click in the CE Desktop window and
login to the CE operating system.
8 Start Endurance Manager and make
sure that all Endurance server
components transition to
active , online ,
or standby .
9 Using Endurance Manager, disable the
active Ethernet connection to make
sure that Ethernet access fails over
properly, and then re-enable the
disabled connection.
Alternatively, you can unplug the cable
from the active Ethernet connection, re-
plug it in, and ensure that Ethernet
access fails over correctly. Verify that client connections are not lost.
