High Reliability; Expanding Of Maintenance And Operational Functions - Fujitsu PRIMEPOWER 1000 User Manual

CHAPTER 1 Features
1.2

High Reliability

The main unit high reliability is ideal not only for a group or department applications server but
also for an enterprise server for mission critical applications.
l Disk-mirroring and dual RAID controller enable redundant data storage. (The main unit
enables this function when the multiple path disk control package and SynfinityDisk are
combined.)
l It is possible to start operation with normally operated components by recognizing and
stopping faulty components during the power-on diagnosis.
l The system is capable of correcting errors automatically (e.g., the Memory ECC); stable
operation is possible.
l Important components are hot swappable (e.g., Power Supply Unit, Fan Tray, Disk Unit,
System Control Facility, System Board) thus system interruption for replacement is not
required.
l Each partition is protected, and errors are isolated to single partition which assures
application reliability. CPUs and memory are also hot swappable with the System Board.
Note that replacement is only available on a System Board basis.
1.3 Expanding of Maintenance and Operational
Functions
The maintenance equipment feature of the main unit prevents occurrence of actual fault events
by monitoring and notifying of them ahead of time. In addition, the life control feature
administrates consumable component lives. The notification feature is capable of reporting
various information through SMC. SMC can display guidance for maintenance and inspection
activities, hot swapping included. This helps prevent user errors.
l If any fault is detected in power-on diagnosis, the SMC sends e-mail message to
administrator and service personnel in charge by sending e-mail through the SMC.
l The SMC information collection feature makes identification of faulty components very
accurate.
