Hardware monitors are available on the HP-UX OE to monitor the following components:

•Chassis, fans, and environment

•CPU monitor

•UPS monitor

•FC hub monitor

•FC switch monitor

•Memory monitor

•Core electronics components

•Disk drives

•High availability disk array

NOTE: No SysFaultMgmt WBEM indication provider is currently available for the UPS monitor, the FC Hub monitor, or the FC switch monitor.

EMS HA Monitors High availability monitors are also available through EMS at an additional cost to monitor disk, cluster, network, and system resources.

Errors and Reading Error Logs

The information provided by error logs is useful for troubleshooting HP Integrity rx3600 server faults and failures.

Event Log Definitions

The cause of an MCA event can be captured by system or BMC firmware in both the System Event Log (SEL) and Forward Progress Log ( FP). Match these errors with MCA events using their timestamps. For example, the loss of a CPU VRM causes a CPU fault. The MCA log does not provide definitive diagnosis of the problem. Following are features and limitations of events and event logs:

•Event logs are the equivalent of chassis logs for status or error information output.

•Symbolic names are used in the source code; for example, MC_CACHE_CHECK

•The hex code for each event log is 128 bits long with an architected format:

—Some enumerated fields can be mapped to defined text strings.

—All fields can be displayed in hex, keyword, or text mode.

•Events are created by firmware or OS code and are sent over the PDH bus to the BMC for storage in either or both of the SEL and FP logs.

•The iLO 2 MP can display event logs. SEL events are sent from the BMC to the iLO 2 MP over the IPMB.

•Event logs can also be read back over the PDH bus by software for storage on disk.

Using Event Logs

To access the event logs, follow these steps:

1.Connect to the system console.

2.Enter Control-Bto access the MP Main Menu.

3.Enter the sl command to view event logs.

Accessing iLO 2 MP Event Logs

The iLO 2 MP provides diagnostic and configuration capabilities. See the HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management Processor Operations Guide for details on iLO 2 MP commands.

To access iLO 2 MP event logs, follow these steps:

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.
