  • Page 32: System Control Overview

    1: Operation Procedures System Control Overview All SGI UV 2000 system individual rack units (IRUs) use an embedded chassis management controller (CMC). The CMC communicates with both the blade-level board management controllers (BMCs) and the system management node (SMN), which runs the SGI Management Center software.

  • Page 33: Communicating With The System

    Commands issued from the SGI Management Center interface are typically sent to all enclosures and blades in the system (up to a maximum 128 blades per SSI) depending on set parameters. SGI Management Center services are started and stopped from scripts that exist in /etc/init.d...

  • Page 63: Distributed Shared I/O

    Cache Coherency The SGI UV 2000 server series use caches to reduce memory latency. Although data exists in local or remote memory, copies of the data can exist in various processor caches throughout the system. Cache coherency keeps the cached copies consistent.

  • Page 64: Non-Uniform Memory Access (Numa)

    When a processor modifies a block of data, the processors that have the same block of data in their caches must be notified of the modification. The SGI UV 2000 server series uses an invalidation method to maintain cache coherence. The invalidation method purges all unmodified copies of the block of data, and the processor that wants to modify the block receives exclusive ownership of the block.

  • Page 96 The sequence of events can be described as follows: Embedded Support Partner (ESP) software monitors your system 24 hours a day. 2. When a specified system event is detected, ESP notifies SGI via e-mail (plain text or encrypted). 3. Applications that are running at SGI analyze the information, determine whether a support case should be opened, and open a case if necessary.
  • Page 97 The following three components compose the integrated SGI Electronic Support system: SGI Embedded Support Partner (ESP) is a set of tools and utilities that are embedded in the SGI Linux ProPack release. ESP can monitor a single system or group of systems for system events, software and hardware failures, availability, performance, and configuration changes, and then perform actions based on those events.
