Reliability, availability, and serviceability features

Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that
is stored on your computer, the availability of the computer when you need it, and
the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.
The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that your computer
supports. Many of these features are explained in later chapters of this publication.

updates to remote systems. When used with Wake on LAN, Remote
Deployment Manager can remotely turn on your computer so that the
installation can be done while the computer is being used.
System administrators can use System Migration Assistant (SMA) to
remotely transfer configurations, profile settings, printer device drivers, and
files from an IBM or non-IBM computer to supported IBM systems.
You can use Software Delivery Assistant to create an image of a single set
of applications that can be deployed to different user-groups while taking
into account the users application needs.
