Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) controller
For measures against commercial power failure, the server is equipped with
UPS controller(UPC) ports. Using a UPS enables stable power supply to the
system when a power failure or an extensive power interruption occurs.
Hardware RAID function
Several hard disks which are connected to the on-board Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) controller of the M3000 server can be constructed as a single logical
volume. The mirrored configuration of the constructed logical volume can
secure the data redundancy, as well as achieve the improvement in system
fault tolerance.
eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF)
The server is equipped with a service processor called eXtended System
Control Facility (XSCF), which monitors the system status including system
temperature, hardware status of the power supply units and fan units, and
operating status of the domain. There are two types of interfaces: browser
interface called XSCF Web and command-line interface called XSCF Shell.
When a power failure is detected, it is also possible to configure whether to
partially degrade the faulty component to continue system operation.
In addition, the schedule management function can be used to automatically
power the server on/off according to the specified operation schedule.
The console of the domain can be controlled by XSCF firmware via a network.
For the console control, prepare a terminal to display the console. The
following devices can be used as terminals:
- Personal computer (PC)
- Workstation
- ASCII terminal
- Terminal server (or patch panel connected to the terminal server)
For information on how to connect the console, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000 Server Installation Guide.
Use of Oracle Solaris OS
The Oracle Solaris OS is widely used in the world. The Oracle Solaris 10 OS
used by the M3000 server has an enhanced process privilege management
function and network function, and is further equipped with superior
functions including Oracle Solaris Predictive Self-Healing that enables error
prediction and self-recovery.
