CHAPTER

XSCF Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the system monitoring and control facility (eXtended System Control Facility, or XSCF).

1.1 XSCF Features

The XSCF firmware is a system monitoring and control facility consisting of a dedicated processor (Note 1) that is independent from the system processor. While input power is supplied to the server, the XSCF constantly monitors the server even if no domain is active. The XSCF provides an interface between the user and the server.

The XSCF is the firmware running on the Service Processor in the server. In the rest of this chapter, although XSCF firmware programs are called XSCF firmware, or XSCF, they all have the same meaning. The board with the installed XSCF firmware is called the XSCFU (also referred to as the "XSCF Unit") or Service Processor.

The XSCF uses different functions to achieve high system availability. The XSCF firmware is a single centralized point for the management of hardware configuration, control of hardware monitoring, cooling system (fan units), domain status monitoring, power on and power off of peripheral devices (Note 2), and error monitoring. The XSCF centrally controls and monitors the server. The XSCF also has a partitioning function to configure and control domains, and it has a function to monitor the server through an Ethernet connection so that the user can control the server remotely. Another function is to report failure information to the system administrator and a remote control input/output function.

In the SPARC Enterprise M3000 server (the M3000 server; the entry-level server) and the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 (the M4000/M5000 servers; the midrange servers), a single XSCF Unit is installed in the server. In the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 servers (the M8000/M9000 servers; the high-end servers), two XSCF Units are installed in the server and they are duplicated. Also, in the M3000 server,

1-1

the XSCF Unit is fixed to the Motherboard Unit (MBU). For details of the server differences, see Section 1.2.1, “Major Differences Among the Server Models” on

page 1-14.

Note – (1) Processors on server boards are called CPUs.

Note – (2) Only the system model with a special interface can power on and off the

peripheral devices. (See Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) in External Interfaces.)

Redundant XSCFs (High-End Servers Only)

The high-end servers use a redundant configuration of XSCF Units, thereby providing high system reliability. The XSCF that controls the server is called the Active XSCF or Active XSCF Unit, while the other XSCF acts as a backup and is called the Standby XSCF or Standby XSCF Unit. The Active XSCF and the Standby XSCF monitor each other, and if an error is detected, they determine when a failover switching to Active or Standby should be performed.

External Interfaces

The following connectors (ports) and LEDs act as the external interface of the XSCF Unit. The user, system administrator, and field engineer (FE) can use these ports for server monitoring and XSCF firmware operations:

■ One Serial port that can be used for the command-line interface (CLI) (Note 1)

■ Two Ethernet ports (XSCF-LAN ports) (10Base-T / 100Base-T (TX))

CLI and the browser user interface (BUI) can be used with these ports for server monitoring and operations. (Note 1)

■ USB port that an FE or a system administrator can use to save and restore

hardware information

■ Two UPS Controller (UPC) ports to connect the entire system with an

Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit (UPS) A UPS is connected for backup power control purposes in the event of a power

outage. In the M8000/M9000 servers, the UPC interface ports are in the cabinet.

1-2 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide • January 2012

■ Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) port to perform power supply interlock by

connecting a system and an I/O device with an RCI device The RCI is the power and system control interface that connects a peripheral

device with an RCI connector to the server, and performs such functions as power supply interlock and alarm notification and recognition. For the information whether the RCI function is supported on your server, see the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Product Notes.

■ Three types of LEDs that indicate the XSCF Unit status: ACTIVE LED, READY

LED, and CHECK LED In the M3000/M4000/M5000 servers, there are two types of LEDs: READY LED

and CHECK LED.

Note – (1) In this manual, XSCF CLI functions are called “XSCF Shell,” and XSCF

BUI functions are called “XSCF Web”.

Rear Panel on the Entry-Level Server

FIGURE 1-1 is an outline drawing of the rear panel of the M3000 server. The XSCF

Unit of the M3000 server is not a removable unit but is fixed on the Motherboard unit. The external interface of the XSCF Unit is exposed on a part of rear panel of the server (1 to 11 in

FIGURE 1-1).

Of the rear panel of the M3000 server, this section focuses on the external interface which has relevance to XSCF Unit. For details about the other units or interfaces of the rear panel and the mounting location of XSCF Unit, see the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Overview Guide and the SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Service Manual.

RCI Port

When connecting a peripheral device with an RCI connector to the server, the RCI port is used for interlocking with a power supply and error monitoring.

1-4 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide • January 2012

Note – To use the RCI function, peripheral devices with the RCI connector and the

server on which the RCI function is supported are required. For the information whether the RCI function is supported on your server, see the SPARC Enterprise

M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Product Notes.

USB Port

The USB port (type A) is used to connect a USB device. The port is compatible with USB 1.1. The port can be used by a system administrator or an FE to save and restore the hardware information, or to collect log data. For the USB handling, see

Section 2.3, “Save and Restore XSCF Configuration Information” on page 2-195 and Section 8.2.2, “Method of Collecting the Log Information” on page 8-27.

READY LED

The READY LED lights up in green. When the power supply is turned on, the READY LED blinks. This blinking LED state indicates that the XSCF has been started and is being initialized. When XSCF initialization is completed, the LED stays lit.

CHECK LED

The CHECK LED lights up in orange. While the XSCF is operating normally, the LED remains off. If an abnormality occurs in the XSCF Unit, the CHECK LED turns on. The CHECK LED can set to blink using an XSCF Shell command. This can be used to identify the XSCF Unit even if there is no failure. For details on the LED-related commands of the XSCF Shell, see Chapter 5 and the XSCF Reference Manual.

Note – The Check LED turns on immediately after the server input power is turned

on.

Serial Port

The serial port (RS-232C port) uses an RJ-45 connector. The serial port is used with the XSCF Shell to configure server settings and display the server status. An RS-232C serial cross cable is used in the serial port. The connection between the serial port and a PC requires an RJ-45 / RS-232C conversion cable or a conversion connector. For details on serial port connections, see Chapter 3 and the Installation Guide for your server.

Chapter 1 XSCF Overview 1-5

XSCF-LAN Port (Ethernet Port)

There are two XSCF-LAN ports. Both use an RJ-45 connector and are compatible with 10BASE-T/100BASE-T (TX). The XSCF-LAN ports are used with the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web to perform system administrator operations, output the system status, perform domain operations, and display the console. With a connection between the PC/workstation and LAN, the XSCF-LAN ports are used with the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web by system administrators or FEs to configure the system settings, display the system status, and perform component replacement tasks. For details on using the LAN ports, see Section 1.3, “Types of Connection to XSCF” on

page 1-15 and Chapter 3.

Link Speed LED

Located on each of the XSCF-LAN ports, the Link Speed LED is a LAN LED that lights up in green. The Link Speed LED is turned on when a 100-Mbps LAN connection is established, and it is not turned on when a 10-Mbps LAN connection is established.

ACT LED

Located on each of the XSCF-LAN ports, the ACT LED is a LAN LED that lights up in green. When the communication state is Link up, the ACT LED lights up. When the communication state is Link down, the ACT LED light is off. The ACT LED light is off while data is being sent/received though the associated LAN connection. So, the ACT LED looks as if it is blinking.

UPC Port

There are two UPC ports. These ports are a connection between the XSCF Unit and the UPS. The UPC port is used only when a UPS is connected. For details on the connectors, see the Service Manual for your server.

1.2 XSCF Functions

This section describes XSCF functions.

Monitoring the Server Status and RAS Function (Fault Management)

XSCF constantly monitors the server status, so the system can operate with stability. If XSCF detects a system abnormality, it collects a hardware log immediately and analyzes it to locate the fault and determine the failure status by using the Fault Management Architecture (FMA). XSCF displays the status and, if necessary, degrades the faulty parts, degrades the faulty domains, or resets the system to prevent another problem from occurring. XSCF thereby maintains high system reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).

XSCF Shell and XSCF Web

XSCF provides the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web that enable the user to display the server status, operate the system, operate domains, and display the console.

XSCF Unit Diagnosis

When the input power is turned on or the XSCF is reset, XSCF performs initial diagnostics for the XSCF itself, checks for abnormalities, displays any detected abnormality, and reports it to the user. While the system is operating, the error detection facility of the XSCF continues to monitor itself, and if any errors are detected, it will report them.

Chapter 1 XSCF Overview 1-9

Initial System Configuration Function

XSCF configures the initial hardware settings of the XSCF Unit and initializes hardware as required to start the Oracle Solaris Operating System (Oracle Solaris OS). XSCF also controls the initial system configuration information.

XSCF User Account Control

XSCF controls the user accounts for XSCF operations.

The basic types of user account privileges controlled by XSCF are listed below. The server provides the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web, but their privileges depend on the user privilege (type).

■ System administrator

■ Domain administrator

■ Operator

■ Field engineer

For details on the user privileges, see the Administration Guide.

Security

XSCF provides an encryption function using Secure Shell (SSH) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and an audit function. Any operation error or unauthorized attempt to access XSCF functionality is recorded in a log. The system administrator can use this information for troubleshooting system errors and unauthorized login attempts.

Power Control for the Server System and Domains

XSCF has power-on and power-off control of the server. The user can press the POWER switch on the operator panel to turn on or off the whole system, or the user can use XSCF to turn on and off the supply of power to the whole system or individual domains.

The user can power on and off the server by using XSCF as follows:

■ Power on/off the server or a domain

The user can turn on, turn off, or reset the server by using the XSCF Shell command from a remote terminal, which is connected to XSCF over a LAN or serial connection. When the user instructs power off, the Oracle Solaris OS is automatically shut down, and then power will be turned off.

1-10 SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide • January 2012

■ 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 4-23.

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.

Chapter 1 XSCF Overview 1-11

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) number that can be referenced from the domain to the XSBs for control of the domain configuration. The type of the PSB not logically divided is called Uni-XSB and the type of the PSB logically divided into four is called Quad-XSB.

For details on domain configuration, see the Overview Guide for your server and

Chapter 2. Also, for each term, see Glossary.

Note – In the M3000 server, the domain configuration control function is not

available. The M3000 server consists of a single PSB (Uni-XSB) equipped with one CPU, and operates with one domain only. Unlike the M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers, the user cannot configure a domain by logically dividing the PSB.

Dynamic Reconfiguration Function

XSCF supports dynamic system board configuration change operations while the domains are operating. Dynamic reconfiguration (DR) of a domain can be achieved using XSCF. For details on DR, see the Dynamic Reconfiguration User’s Guide.

Note – In the M3000 server, the DR function is not available.

Console Redirection Function

XSCF provides a function that displays the OS console of the Oracle Solaris OS of each domain. With an SSH (Secure Shell) or telnet connection to XSCF, the user can access the console of any domain in the system. For details on the console, see
