Introduction

Overview

Strong server-management capabilities are crucial to maintaining mission-critical servers. Advance notification of problems and rapid diagnosis and correction are critical functions to an environment in which a few servers bear the bulk of the workload. The Sun Fire™ V20z and Sun Fire V40z servers and their extensive server-management capabilities lower costs by reducing failure and by potentially eliminating hands-on management.

This document describes how to perform remote management on the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z servers.

The Sun Fire V20z server is an AMD Opteron processor-based, enterprise-class one-rack-unit (1U), two-processor (2P) server. The Sun Fire V40z server is also an AMD Opteron processor-based server, but is a three-rack-unit (3U), four-processor (4P) server.

The AMD Opteron processor implements the x86-64-bit architecture, which delivers significant memory capacity and bandwidth with twice the memory capacity and up to three times the memory bandwidth of existing x86-32-bit servers.

These servers include an embedded Service Processor (SP), flash memory, RAM, a separate Ethernet interface, and server-management software. They come equipped with superior server-management tools for greater control and minimum total cost of ownership. You can use the command-line interface (CLI), SNMP integration with third-party frameworks, or IPMI to configure and manage the platform with the SP. The dedicated SP provides complete operating-system independence and maximum availability of server management.
