Fujitsu N800 manual Server management, ServerStart

Features Introduction

Server management

Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Siemens. The PDA analyzes and monitors all components relevant to system reliability, thus enabling early detection of overload situations and appropriate counter-measures.

ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. Here ServerView supports the following functions:

●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area.

●Timer-controlled switch-on (Timer)

●Remote switch-on (Ring Indicator)

●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R) in the event of failure of memory modules or processors.

●Pager message when rebooting system following an error

●Monitoring of PCI bus loading

●End-of-Life monitoring of the fans with timely indication before failure

●Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring

●Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main memory

●Statistics for service technicians (operating hours counter, counter for switch-on/switch-off cycles)

●Storage of error messages in the non-volatile SRAM memory

Further information on the ServerView server management is provided in the associated documentation (see “Related publications” on page 125).
