Introduction 1 This chapter describes the Endurance server, the server with ComputeThru TM technology that enables the server to continue computing even when system components fail. This chapter provides a conceptual overview of the Endurance server, introduces Endurance terminology, and describes - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 20
. These functions provide uninterrupted support for the server applications and software. Because the Endurance server includes SplitSiteTM support, you can use the Endurance server as . This tool includes both local and remote management support for the Endurance server. The key benefits of - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 21
server can execute any Windows-compatible application. This means that you do not have to generate support for any special APIs or scripts to enable your application to run on an Endurance server. This maintains data and user access without any loss of service to applications. Introduction 1-3 - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 22

Each tuple contains: • a CE • an IOP • a network connection The MIC (Marathon Interface Card) supports a high-speed 4 interconnect path for communication between the CE and IOP components in the Endurance server. Each CE and IOP contains a MIC - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 25
fault tolerant operating environment. Because of this, the Endurance server supports any off-theshelf and custom applications that are compatible with software. As a result, the Windows operating system and all network services and applications perceive the Endurance server as a single system, as - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 26
server. Using redundant hardware also allows online service and replacement of Endurance hardware. The Endurance server supports multiple network connections to provide additional network redundancy protection from potential site disasters. 1-8 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 27
Endurance Software Endurance software integrates and synchronizes processing across four industry-standard Pentium class systems. All components are capable of multiprocessing, forming a logical, fully redundant, fault tolerant server. This results in the Windows operating system, all applications, - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 28

For an IOP to service the CE boot request, it must have completed boot, as shown in Figure 2-3 and described in Appendix B. The CE boot process is summarized in - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 37

When the application is running in full-screen mode and you want to run the application in a window: 1. Change the input focus to the IOP. See Changing Input Focus on page 3-9. 2. Click the CE Desktop icon on the title bar. 3. Uncheck the Full Screen Mode option. If the CE is running at a lower - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 62
The lower you set the resolution, the less system resources Endurance redirected video uses. The Endurance CE video drivers support the following resolutions: • 640 by 480 pixels, 256 Colors • 800 by 600 pixels, 256 Colors • the IOPs each second. 3-10 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide - HP NetServer AA 6200 | HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide v - Page 63
