IBM RS/6000 7025 manual Runtime Phase

The	SP can dial	a pre-programmed telephone number in the event of an IPL
failure. The SP		issues an error report with the last reported IPL status indi
and	any other	available error information.

ŸUpdate Operator Panel

The SP displays Operator Panel data on the ASCII terminal if a remote connection is active.

ŸEnvironmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring is now controlled by the SP instead of the base system, with expanded error recording and reporting.

ŸSystem Firmware Surveillance (Heartbeat Monitoring)

The SP will monitor and time the interval between system firmware heartbeats.

ŸResponding to System Processor Commands

The SP will respond to any command issued by the system processor.

Runtime Phase

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

ŸEnvironmental Monitoring

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

ŸResponding to System Processor Commands

The SP will respond to any command issued by the system processor.

ŸRun-Time Surveillance (Heartbeat Monitoring)

If	the device driver		is	installed and surveillance	enabled, the	SP will monitor
system		heartbeat. If	the	heartbeat times out, the	SP places an	outgoing call.
This	is	different from	the Bringup Phase scenario where two reboot attempts
made	before placing an		outgoing call.
