Introduction
High level of availability and fault protection
When accessing stored data, 1-bit errors in the main memory are automatically
recognized and corrected (EDC = Error Detection and Correction). The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism
and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) fades out defective
system components during an automatic system reboot.
The Prefailure Detection and Analyzing (PDA) technology reports the threat of
system errors or problems to the system administrator so that preventative
measures can be taken.
The optional disk array controller increases system availability and supports the
RAID levels 0, 1, and 5.
The hot swappable hard disk drives provide additional protection.
Server management
Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView
software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology. The PDA
analyzes and monitors all components relevant to system reliability, thus
enabling early detection of overload situations and appropriate troubleshooting.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. Here ServerView supports the following functions:
Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
Timer-controlled switch-on (Timer)
Remote switch-on (Ring Indicator)
Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
Pager message when rebooting system following an error
Monitoring of PCI bus loading
End-of-Life monitoring of the fans with timely indication before failure
Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors, and main
memory
