■ Automatically shut down and cancel a power on operation when an error is detected
If a system abnormality occurs, the Oracle Solaris OS is automatically shut down, and the
subsequent power on will not be started. This can minimize damage to the system.
■ Control power during power failure and power restoration
XSCF performs the following operations when a power failure occurs that causes the
system to turn off:
■ When a power failure occurs:
XSCF performs emergency power off when the power failure occurs. When a UPS is
connected, any running domains may also be shut down automatically. For a momentary
power failure, XSCF may allow the system to continue working without any shutting
down.
■ When power is restored:
The system can be set up such that XSCF automatically turns on the power to the server,
then starts up the domains, relieving the system administrator of extra work.
For details on operation settings for a power failure, see Section 4.4.10, “Shutdown Wait
Time Administration” on page 4-22.
Support of Hot-Swapping of Components
XSCF supports maintenance work with the XSCF Shell during hot-swapping of components.
For details on the XSCF Shell, see Chapter 5.
Component Configuration Recognition and Temperature/Voltage
Monitoring
XSCF monitors component information such as the configuration status and the serial
numbers of components in the server. If an abnormality is detected in the component
configuration, it is displayed and reported to the user. XSCF periodically monitors and
displays the temperature inside the server, the ambient temperature, component temperatures,
voltage levels, and FAN status.
Internal Cabinet Configuration, Recognition, and Domain Configuration
Control Functions
To use XSCF, you can display the system configuration status, and create and change domain
configuration definitions. It also provides domain start and stop functions, mainly for its own
use. In the server, the user can configure a domain as a single Physical System Board (PSB)
that has CPU, memory, and I/O device, or a PSB logically divided, which are the eXtended
System Boards: (XSBs). The user assigns a domain and the Logical System Boards (LSBs)
