Monitoring Your System

Using Embedded Support Partner (ESP)

007-4498-002
You can monitor your SGI Origin 300 system from the following sources:
• You can view individual module (base, NUMAlink, and PCI expansion) status and
error messages via the module's L1 controller display. For example, you can
determine whether the fans of a particular module are operating properly.
• The system console enables you to view the status and error messages that are
generated by both the L1 and L2 controllers. Refer to Appendix C for L1 and L2
commands.
• You can monitor the status of the TP900 storage modules by viewing the LEDs on
the front and the rear of the storage modules.
• You can use the Embedded Support Partner (ESP) system, which is discussed in the
next section.
Embedded Support Partner (ESP) automatically detects system conditions that indicate
potential future problems and then notifies the appropriate personnel. This enables you
and SGI system support engineers (SSEs) to proactively support systems and resolve
issues before they develop into actual failures.
ESP enables users to monitor one or more systems at a site from a local or remote
connection. ESP can perform the following functions:
• Monitor the system configuration, events, performance, and availability.
• Notify SSEs when specific events occur.
• Generate reports.
ESP also supports:
• Remote support and on-site troubleshooting.
• System group management, which enables you to manage an entire group of
systems from a single system.
For more information about ESP, refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting." For information
about configuring ESP, refer to the Embedded Support Partner User Guide.
