Functions supported as an SMC

– The xscon tool is used to select and represent one or more consoles of RM
and PRIMEPOWER (MR) servers.

3.2 Functions supported as an SMC
The PRIMESTATION can be used on PRIMEPOWER enterprise servers as a
System Management Console (SMC) (see also manuals for SMC and System
Console Software in the Related publications section):
– The SMC can check the hardware configuration and the operating status of
the PRIMEPOWER system.
– The SMC performs resource partitioning and in this way allows the shared
use of the processor and storage capacities of the PRIMEPOWER system.
– The SMC supports individual console displays for the different partitions.
– The SMC supports a power supply scheduling system, which allows the
selective switching on and off of the PRIMEPOWER system.
– The DVD drive on the SMC can be used across partitions. This means that
operating systems and applications can be installed in every partition of the
PRIMEPOWER system.
– Clock tuning is performed for every partition of the PRIMEPOWER system
with the SMC clock via the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
– The SMC monitors the entire hardware of the PRIMEPOWER system. If an
error is detected, relevant information is displayed on the SMC. The system
administrator is then notified immediately by e-mail.
