PRIMEQUEST 1000 Series REMCS Installation Manual
CHAPTER 1 REMCS Service Overview
Problem notification
When a hardware problem occurs in a server, automatically notifies the REMCS Center of the problem and sends
problem information including logs to the REMCS Center.
Whenever an event involving a hardware problem occurs in the same unit after the REMCS Center has been notified
of the hardware problem, notification thereon to the REMCS Center is suppressed. Events detected by PSA or SVS
are cleared when the operating system is rebooted or when PSA or SVS is stopped or restarted. When a problem
with a notification level that is higher than that of an event for which notification is being suppressed occurs in the
same part, problem notification takes place even within the notification suppression period. At this time, the
notification suppression time is cleared to 0, and the notification suppression continues. In the case of SVS, there
is no processing related to notification suppression time such as that for PSA. Accordingly, until a problem with a
high notification level occurs or until the events are cleared, notification of abnormalities is suppressed.
Periodic connection
Automatically connects to the REMCS Center at specified times to confirm the existence of the communication
path and REMCS Agent.
