4. Very flexible partitioning functions are provided.
• Multiple independent systems can be built on a single server called partitions or domains.
• Each partition can individually be configured.
• Up to four partitions are supported.
• The motherboard on which CPU- and memory-modules are mounted is sub-divided into eight parts, and the two I/O
board are sub-divided into four. A combination of sub-parts from motherboard and I/O board form a partition, in
maximum 4.
5. Partition independent processor based system control facility: XSCF (eXtended System Control Facility)
• XSCF detects abnormal conditions and controls the system without relying on system status, such as CPU abnormality
or system hang. (Mutual monitoring/abnormal CPU notification, fan rotation frequency monitoring/control, power
monitoring/control, humidity/temperature monitoring, etc., are provided)
• Monitoring/control of peripheral devices such as RCI-connected units (cluster nodes) and expansion cabinets is
available via RCI (Remote Cabinet Interface). Remote power-on/off is also available.
• The operational status of the server can also be monitored by XSCF.
• The embedded partition control facility renders the need for an external control console terminal unnecessary.
6. Remote Customer Support
• Remote Customer Support will be handled via Teleservice.
7. ServerView Enterprise Edition 2.0 is available for download in the FSC Software Pool.
• ServerView Enterprise Edition 2.0 provides consolidated management of all FSC servers including PRIMEPOWER,
SPARC® Enterprise, PRIMEQUEST and PRIMERGY. Server managing functions for all managed servers, such as
hardware configuration display and status monitoring, are provided for system administrators via a unified GUI and
standard operating processes.
a. The status monitoring of all servers is available from a single management client. The status of key components,
such as CPU/memory of each server, can be displayed in a unified tree view.
b. When server components fail, SVS EE displays each event graphically together with the relevant message for
prompt defective part location.
c. Server management can be performed with unified operability.
