Chapter 1 Installing OS

Note



The time required for completing the duplication varies depending on the disk space.



The system will reboot twice if ft control software is installed in internal hard disk drive.



The disk duplication is not performed if FT control software is installed in an external

storage.

After the system reboot, confirm that the System FT LED at the front of the server lights.

16.

Note

If disk duplexing is in progress after the ESXi host starts up, the FT lamp does not turn ON.
Wait for a while until the disk duplexing is completed.

Tips



When installing ft control software to an internal hard disk drive, the PRIMARY LED of

the CPU/IO module switches from #0 to #1. However, there is no problem continuing
with the setup.
When installing ft control software to an external storage, switching of the PRIMARY
LED of the CPU/IO module does not occur.



If the ft control software is installed in internal hard disk drive, the storage name of this

drive (datastore1) is changed to datastore2 after the system restart. However, it does
not affect the system operation.
