HP BladeSystem EMS Console Must Be Disabled in BIOS
Endurance
®
FTvirtual Server Release 6.1.1 is not compatible with the EMS console on the HP
BladeSystem. Symptoms include hangs during FTv install, or prompts during FTv install for
Administrator passwords. EMS console is enabled by default in the BladeSystem BIOS, and
must be disabled.
In the BIOS setup screen, select BIOS Serial Console & EMS, then select EMS Console, and
set it to 'Disabled'.
Redirected Disk Size Limitations
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 allows for disks larger in size than 2 terabytes. The
Endurance software restricts redirection to disks 2 terabytes in size or less.
Network Connections Taskbar Icon
When Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 is installed on the CoServers and a redirected
network cable is unplugged, a Network Connections icon will appear on the CoServer desktop
taskbar indicating that the device is disconnected. However, due to an issue with the service
pack, the icon will continue to indicate a disconnected state even after the connection is
restored. This problem does not impact the operation of the Endurance Configuration. You can
examine the state of the redirected network adapter in the Endurance Manager to verify that it
is operational despite the erroneous taskbar icon.
To refresh the network connection states so that the icon is removed, click on the taskbar icon
and the Network Connections utility will appear. Select View Refresh from the menu bar
and the taskbar icon will be removed or will no longer reflect the disconnected state.
Redirected SCSI Devices
If a SCSI CD-ROM, tape drive, or non-mirrored redirected disk drive is not available when the
FTvirtualServer is booted, the device will not be seen by the FTvirtual Server, even if it
subsequently becomes available (for example, the FTvirtual Server boots when CoServer 1 is
unavailable, and CoServer 1 has a redirected CD-ROM device). To make such devices available
to the FTvirtual Server when they become available on a configured CoServer, do the
following:
• Using the Endurance Desktop application, log in to Windows on the FTvirtual Server
using an account that has Administrator privileges.
• Right click on My Computer and select Manage to launch the Windows Computer
Management utility. Click on Device Manager in the left hand pane, and then click on
