Note on server maintenance in a Multipath I/O
environment
When booting your server blade offline from the ServerView Suite DVD to
perform an offline driver update using the ServerView Update DVD or collect
diagnostic data using PrimeCollect in a Multipath I/O environment, there is a risk
of damaging the system configuration which may leave the system unable to
boot.
This is a known restriction of Windows PE with Multipath drivers.
Before using the ServerView Update DVD or PrimeCollect in an offline
environment, it is necessary to disconnect FC/LAN/SAS connections from the
system.
Ê
Ask the system administrator to disable the FC/iSCSI/CNA/SAS
connections to the server blade via FC/LAN/SAS connection blade
command.
After executing work, do the reconnection. Ask the system administrator.
Continue as follows:
Ê
If performing an offline driver update, first of all prepare the ServerView
Update DVD:
Ê
Download the latest ServerView Update DVD image from the Fujitsu
FTP server at
ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/images/serverview
.
Ê
Burn the image to a DVD.
For the Japanese market:
Ê
Locate, download and burn the ServerView Update DVD image available
from the following URL:
http://jp.fujitsu.com/platform/server/primergy/products/note/svsdvd/dvd/
Ê
Ensure that all external I/O connections have been removed from the server
blade.
I
Ensure that all external I/O connections are uniquely identified so that
you can reconnect them into their original locations after concluding
the task.
Ê
Switch on the server blade.
Ê
Right after switching on the server blade, insert the ServerView Suite DVD
into the DVD drive and close the drive tray.
