4.7.1 Functionality of XSCF

As of the SX150 model series the System Management Console (SMC) on the basis of a
PRIMEPOWER250 system is equipped with the Extended System Control Facility (XSCF).
XSCF is a system monitoring and control facility which runs on its own processors in the
SMC and offers a user interface as long as it is connected to the power cables of the SMC.
The options of XSCF can be used on SX systems as of the SX150 model series. XSCF
offers the following functions, among others:
– Remote switching the SMC on/off
– Operation of the SMC console from a remote system
– Enhanced monitoring and logging functions for monitoring the SMC hardware compo-
nents. This enables XSCF to be integrated into a monitoring concept by means of
SNMP traps to a management station and/or by means of e-mails to a system
administrator.
A description of the functions and configuration of XSCF is provided in the document
"PRIMEPOWER450/250 Extended System Control Facility
U41272-J-Z385-3-76
(XSCF)" [32].
