4.2.5 Hardware monitoring and configuration display
Hardware configuration display
This function displays the configuration of all components, such as SB, the CPUs and memory in the
components, including the fan and power supply units mounted in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
FIGURE 4.4 [System Status] screen (Example of configuration display screen)
FIGURE 4.2 [System Status] window (example of configuration display screen) shows an example of the
configuration of the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series. At the same time, the configuration information indicates the
component status (e.g., normal, abnormal). If the state of the component is abnormal, the system
administrator or a field engineer may have to take corrective action. Detailed information can also be
displayed by clicking the link of a display item.
Hardware monitoring
Various check features and sensors detect hardware failures and errors. When a failure or error is detected,
the MMB takes the required corrective action based on the status of the detected component. The MMB
collects all logs of such event, log of a failure or error where processing could continue by using an alternate
component or disconnecting the faulty component.
To reduce the number of logs or messages displayed, all logs and messages can be filtered before display.
The conditions for reporting detected abnormal states can also be specified.
Hardware failure and error notification
If a failure or error occurs, an LED lights according to the level of the failure or error. Also, if SNMP Trap is
specified, hardware failures and errors are reported to the operations management application. If Alarm E-
Mail is set, they are reported to system administrator.
If (REMCS (Remote Customer Support System) is registered, it is reported to the Fujitsu's Support Center
(OSC). The REMCS Agent has a function for reporting error information and log information of the server
system to the OSC on the Internet. Even the phenomenon on the partition side can be reported via the MMB
firmware. For the details of the hardware configuration display and monitoring, see ‘Chapter 1 MMB Web-UI
(Web User Interface) operation’ of the “
PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Tool Reference
”.
For the details of the REMCS Agent, see “PRIMEQUEST 2000 series REMCS Service Manual” (CA92344-
0542).
