REMCS Linkage Overview

REMCS Agent reports resource information or problems in a partition to the REMCS Center in linkage with the
MMB. REMCS Agent reports error information, log information, and other information of the PRIMEQUEST
1000 series system to the REMCS Center via the Internet or P-P (point to point) connection.
*: PSA runs on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E.
SVS runs on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E2.

FIGURE 1.1 REMCS linkage

REMCS Agent of the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series consists of the MMB firmware and PSA (on the PRIMEQUEST
1800E) or SVS (on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E2) installed in each partition. As the REMCS linkage in the figure
shows, the MMB firmware monitors the entire system for problems, and reports them to the REMCS Center when
it detects them. PSA (on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E) or SVS (on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E2) notifies the REMCS
Center of hardware problem information and hardware configuration information detected by the operating system
in the partition via the MMB firmware.
1.2.1

Components implementing the REMCS function

The REMCS functions of the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series are implemented by the following components:
- MMB:
Collects hardware configuration information of the entire server, monitors the server for problems, and reports
thereon to the REMCS Center.
- PSA (on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E) or SVS (on the PRIMEQUEST 1800E2):
Collects configuration information of the PCI cards and SCSI devices recognized in the partition and monitors
them for problems.
Configuration information monitoring
Detects changes in the hardware or software configuration, and reports the latest configuration information to the
REMCS Center.
