5.1.5 Note on server maintenance in a Multipath I/O
environment
When booting your server offline from the ServerView Suite DVD 1 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, Fujitsu recommends to properly shut down the server and to
disconnect all external I/O connections (like LAN or FC cables) from the system.
Only keep mouse, keyboard, video cable and AC power cord connected.
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.
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.
Ê Right after switching on the server, insert the ServerView Suite DVD 1 into
the DVD drive and close the drive tray.
The server will now boot from the DVD.
Ê After the boot process is complete, select your preferred GUI language.
