RMC Overview

The remote management console provides a mechanism for monitoring the system
(voltages, temperature, and fans) and manipulating it on a low level (reset, power
on/off, halt).
The RMC performs monitoring and control functions to ensure the successful operation of
the system.
•
Monitors the thermal sensor on the system motherboard.
•
Monitors voltages and fans
•
Detects alert conditions such as excessive temperature, fan failure, and voltage failure.
On detection, pages an operator, and sends an interrupt to SRM, which then passes the
interrupt to the operating system or an application.
•
Shuts down the system if any fatal conditions exist. For example:
−
The temperature reaches the failure limit.
−
Any system fan failure.
•
Provides a command-line interface (CLI) for the user to control the system. From the
CLI you can power the system on and off, halt or reset the system, and monitor the
system environment.
•
Passes error log information to shared RAM so that this information can be accessed by
the system.
