XSCF Firmware
The M3000 server uses the XSCF firmware to manage the system. The XSCF
firmware, which is preinstalled in the service processor on the XSCF unit before
shipment from the factory, enables you to configure, manage, and maintain system
components.
2.6.1
User Interfaces
The XSCF provides two types of user interfaces.
XSCF Shell
■
The XSCF Shell is a command-line interface used by connecting terminals such as
a personal computer and workstation to the server through a serial connection or
LAN connection.
In a serial connection, the shell commands supported by XSCF can be used by
connecting a terminal to the serial port on the server. In addition, the console
redirection function provided by XSCF allows the terminal to be used as an OS
console.
In a LAN connection, the shell commands supported by XSCF can be used by
connecting a terminal to XSCF through Secure Shell (SSH) or telnet.
XSCF Web
■
The XSCF Web is a browser interface used by connecting terminals to the server
through a LAN connection. The terminal is connected to XSCF using the browser
running on the terminal.
For details of how to connect and use the interfaces, see the following documents:
