In addition to the front panel diagnostic LEDs, CRUs provide additional diagnostic LEDs. CRU LED order and layout is product dependent.

NOTE: If multiple error conditions occur, all applicable CRU lights activate. The most critical error determines the front panel LED state.

Diagnostics

A suite of offline and online support tools are available to help you to troubleshoot system problems. If the OS is already running, use the online support tools.

If the OS cannot be booted, use the offline support tools. If possible, shut down the OS only when online troubleshooting fails. The offline support tools are available either from the EFI partition or from the IPF offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD (IPF systems only). Once the problem preventing booting has been resolved, boot the OS; use the online support tools for any further testing.

If you cannot reach the EFI from either the main disk or from a CD, use the visual fault indicators, console messages, and system error logs to troubleshoot the problem.

Online Diagnostics and Exercisers

Online support tools enable centralized error archiving and hardware inventory, as long as the agents or providers that support them are installed on the managed server.

On HP-UX systems, the legacy tools within OnlineDiag are supported. The online support tools on HP-UX 11i v2, include the Support Tool Manager (STM) tools and the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) features added by SysFaultMgmt.

The STM suite of tools includes the following:

Information Information modules create a log of information specific to one device, including:

 

•

Product identifier

 

• Description of the device

 

• Hardware path to the device

 

•

Vendor

 

• Onboard log information (if applicable)

 

• Miscellaneous information associated with the device

 

• The firmware revision code, if firmware is present in the device

Verifiers

Verifiers quickly determine whether or not a specific device is working by

 

performing tasks similar to those that the applications perform using the

 

device. No license is required to run the verifiers.

Exercisers

Exercisers stress devices to facilitate the reproduction of intermittent

 

problems.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics are tools designed to identify faulty or failed FRUs.

Expert Tools

Expert tools are device-specific troubleshooting utilities for use by expert

 

administrators only. Their functionality varies from tool to tool, but they are

 

intended to be interactive, and rely on the administrator to provide

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
