Accessing the Flex Boot Options During FTvirtual Server Boot
When booting the Endurance FTvirtual Server, the desktop should display a black screen
window where you can press the F8 key to access the flex boot options such as safe mode, last
known good, etc. On some systems there may not be sufficient time to press the
<ctrl><shift>F12 key sequence (to change the focus to the Endurance FTvirtual Server) and
then the F8 key. If you set the Input Device Automatic Switchover setting to enabled, and
press the F8 key as soon as the boot screen appears, you will see the flex boot mode menu. To
set the Input Device Automatic Switchover setting to enabled access the Endurance Manager.
Then select View Properties Input Devices, and click enabled.
Using Remote Control Applications from the FTvirtual Server
Terminal Services or the Remote Desktop Connection is the recommended remote control
application to run on the FTvirtual Server. Remote control applications that replace the
Endurance video drivers with their own drivers are not supported on the FTvirtual Server.
Supported Redirected Device Types
The following types of devices can be made available for use on (i.e. redirected to) the FTvirtual
Server:
- Ethernet network adapters
- SCSI devices: disk drives, CD-ROMs, tape drives, and medium changers
- IDE CD-ROMs
- Keyboards and mice
- Video
Network Configuration Requirements When SplitSite is not Enabled
For non-SplitSite configurations, the FTvirtual Server fault handler makes use of all available
network paths connecting CoServers. Network paths include CoServer Links, CoServer
Management Links, and Redirected Networks. At least one functional network path must be
operating between the CoServers at all times. Therefore, CoServer Links must be directly
connected with no intervening active components such as switches or routers. In addition,
CoServers must be physically located adjacent to one another and network cables must be
