The SP monitors and times the interval between system firmware heartbeats.

ŸResponding to System Processor Commands

The SP responds to any command issued by the system processor.

Runtime Phase: This phase includes the tasks that the SP performs during steady-state execution of the operating system.

ŸEnvironmental Monitoring

The SP monitors voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds (on some servers).

ŸResponding to System Processor Commands

The SP responds to any command issued by the system processor.

ŸRun-Time Surveillance (Heartbeat Monitoring)

where the specified number of reboot attempts are made before placing an outgoing call.
