Capacity on Demand Function
Capacity on Demand is an option to purchase spare processing resources (CPUs) for
your server. The spare resources are provided in the form of one or more CPUs on
COD boards that are installed on your server. When you need the spare processing
resources (CPUs) for the server, XSCF assists the operation to add or delete the
resources. For details on COD, see the COD User's Guide.
Note – In the M3000 server, the COD function is not available.
Functions for Monitoring and Notification During Operation
XSCF constantly monitors the system operating status, FAN status, ambient
temperature, etc. Using the network function of the cabinet, XSCF accesses the server
to provide the following services:
Monitoring the server even when the Oracle Solaris OS is inactive.
■
Enabling remote operation of the server.
■
Reporting error messages by email to specified addresses. For details, see

Trapping notification with the SNMP Agent functions. For details, see

Hardware Fault Information Collection (Hardware Log Collection)
XSCF collects hardware fault information and saves it on the XSCF itself.
The XSCF hardware failure log makes it possible to identify the location of a failure.
The log also provides assistance in anticipating failures on the server and
immediately reports precise information about failures to the user.
For details on error messages and their contents, see
The displayed messages types are as follow:
An initial diagnostic message is displayed at system startup.
■
XSCF monitors the network configuration. If an error is detected, an error
■
message is generated and displayed.
XSCF monitors the status of the power supply, FAN, voltage, system board,
■
memory, CPU, and other components. If an error is detected in a component, an
error message is generated and displayed. Based on the error message, the system
administrator can easily identify the component that needs to be replaced.
XSCF monitors the temperatures of the cabinet and CPU. If an abnormal
■
temperature is detected, an error message is generated and displayed. The error
messages make it possible to prevent the system from rising to a higher
temperature and to prevent system instability.
