3.2.1.2Browser-Based User Interface (XSCF Web)

XSCF WEb is a browser-based user interface that can be used from a terminal, such as a personal computer or workstation, connected to the server through an Ethernet connection.

However, the XSCF Web pages cannot be used through a serial connection. If the browser function of a terminal is used for a connection to the XSCF, BUI operations can be performed.

3.2.2XSCF Functional Overview

This section provides an overview of the main functions supported by the XSCF.

For details on each function, see the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) User’s Guide.

3.2.2.1System Management

The main tasks of the XSCF are control and monitoring of the entire SPARC Enterprise system, such as configuration management and monitoring of the server’s cooling components (FAN units), domain status monitoring, power-on and power-off of peripheral units, and error monitoring. Also, the XSCF provides a partitioning function for domain configuration and management.

The XSCF constantly monitors the server status so that the system can operate stably.

When any error is detected in the system, the system status monitoring mechanism immediately collects error information about the hardware (hardware log) and analyzes it to identify the error location and check the error status. The XSCF displays the status, and it degrades the relevant component or domain as necessary or it resets the system, thereby preventing the error from occurring again.

The XSCF provides high reliability, high availability, and high serviceability for the entire system.

3.2.2.2Security Management

The XSCF manages user accounts for the XSCF. The operating range in the XSCF shell and XSCF Web pages can be limited based on user account types and settings. Moreover, the XSCF provides an IP address filtering function for permitting access to
