Vtm Dump Driver; Srasata.sys Driver; Ftserver Services - NEC Express5800/320Ma Technical Reference Manual

VTM Dump Driver

The sravtmdp.sys driver, the VTM dump driver, controls the process of getting a dump
of VTM adapter memory and registers. The host initiates a dump in the event of a
heartbeat failure or other errors from the VTM. VTM initiates a dump of itself if it detects
a fatal error. You can also request a dump from the VTM Homepage.

srasata.sys Driver

The srasata.sys driver controls the SATA internal disks. It does the following:
•
Supports dynamic insertion and removal of SATA disks.
•
Interfaces with Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), plug-and-play (PnP)
Manager, and the SCSI Port Duplex driver.
•
Maintains information about the SATA adapter's properties, including the
fault-tolerant state. It returns appropriate error codes to the SCSI Port Duplex driver
in the event of hard disk or adapter failures.

ftServer services

Express5800/320Ma systems have a layer of software fault-tolerant services that run
as Windows-based services. These services constantly monitor for, and respond to,
hardware problems. The name of each service is listed, followed by its executable
name (as seen in task manager) and a short description.
•
Alarm (Sra_Alarm.exe) sends notice of alarm conditions to various locations that
can include NEC Technical Support or your service representative, and a
customer's pager or email.
•
eService (eService.exe) copies BMC events into the Windows Application event
log. It also provides an interface to the BMC for environmental sensor related tasks.
•
Inventory (Sra_Inventory.exe) manages the inventory of hardware and software
on the system.
•
Maintenance and Diagnostics (Sramad.exe) monitors and controls hardware
and software modules that participate in the added value functions. This service is
required for Active Upgrade software to function. It performs the following:
– Automatically restarts devices after a transient fault
– Computes safe-to-pull state of devices working in partnership
– When possible, sets the LEDs of devices to indicate their state
