CHAPTER

System Overview

This chapter explains the features and specifications of the SPARC Enterprise M3000
server.

■ Section 1.1, “System Features” on page 1-1

■ Section 1.2, “System Specifications” on page 1-5

■ Section 1.3, “Component Names” on page 1-7

■ Section 1.4, “Components” on page 1-9

1.1 System Features

The M3000 server is a space-saving compact server equipped with a high­performance, highly-reliable SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors. It is also an
eco-friendly server, which reduces power consumption and noise. Also equipped
with the same level of high reliability and high availability as the M4000, M5000,
M8000, and M9000 servers, the M3000 server provides superior service continuity.

1-1

FIGURE 1-1 shows the external view of the M3000 server.

FIGURE 1-1 External View of the Server

The M3000 server has the following features:

■ Space-saving

The server has a 2 rack units (2U) enclosure, which realizes the space-saving and
the lightness in weight.

■ Energy-saving

Compared to our existing models, the M3000 server significantly improves the
energy consumption efficiency, and reduces the system power consumption to
500W (with 200 to 240 VAC).

■ Mounted high-performance processor adopting energy-saving technology

The SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors enhance the processing
performance and at the same time reduces the power consumption.

■ Improved cooling and power efficiency

The server is equipped with an air duct and a backflow prevention shutter unit
which optimize the airflow within the chassis and realize high cooling
efficiency. Moreover, the server uses power supply units with good power
efficiency, reducing power consumption.

1-2 SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Overview Guide • March 2012

■ Multiple-step fan speed control

The fan speeds are finely adjusted according to the altitude and the ambient
temperature at the installation site of the server. Such adjustments reduce
noise and realize quiet operation well suited for the office environment as well
as reducing power consumption.

■ High performance server enhanced with the latest architecture

■ SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors

The processors provide superior performance, with two or four cores each of
which can execute 2 threads. In addition, the Error Checking and Correction
(ECC) function and the instruction retry function provide high reliability and
high availability.

■ Power-saving by system LSI

By using the 65 nm process technology, system controller and memory access
controller have been packed on a single LSI (Large Scale Integration), which
realizes the power-saving.

■ Using PCI Express (PCIe) as an I/O bus

The PCIe bus having a band of up to eight lanes is used for the interconnect
bus with the I/O device.

■ High reliability and high availability

■ Data protection with the ECC function

ECC function protects data on all system buses and in memory, so that any
errors in data are automatically corrected. In addition to ECC, advanced ECC
memory protection is supported.

■ Redundant configuration and active/hot replacement of components

Hard disk drives, fan units, and power supply units support redundant
configuration and active/hot replacement. In a redundant configuration, the
system can be operated continuously even if one of the components fails.
Faulty components can be maintained/replaced without stopping the system.

■ Automatic reboot at component failure

If a failure occurs, the faulty component is automatically isolated from the
system, and the system is rebooted. If 1-bit errors occur frequently in the cache
memory configuring a CPU, the faulty memory can be dynamically isolated
without rebooting the Oracle Solaris Operating System (Oracle Solaris OS).

These degradation functions enable the business operation to be continued
based on non-faulty resources. The functions thus implement high fault­tolerance even if a component fails.

Chapter 1 System Overview 1-3

■ Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) controller

For measures against commercial power failure, the server is equipped with
UPS controller(UPC) ports. Using a UPS enables stable power supply to the
system when a power failure or an extensive power interruption occurs.

■ Hardware RAID function

Several hard disks which are connected to the on-board Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) controller of the M3000 server can be constructed as a single logical
volume. The mirrored configuration of the constructed logical volume can
secure the data redundancy, as well as achieve the improvement in system
fault tolerance.

Note – Hardware RAID is available only on the M3000 server with the SPARC64

VII+ processors.

■ eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF)

The server is equipped with a service processor called eXtended System
Control Facility (XSCF), which monitors the system status including system
temperature, hardware status of the power supply units and fan units, and
operating status of the domain. There are two types of interfaces: browser
interface called XSCF Web and command-line interface called XSCF Shell.

When a power failure is detected, it is also possible to configure whether to
partially degrade the faulty component to continue system operation.

In addition, the schedule management function can be used to automatically
power the server on/off according to the specified operation schedule.

The console of the domain can be controlled by XSCF firmware via a network.
For the console control, prepare a terminal to display the console. The
following devices can be used as terminals:

- Personal computer (PC)

- Workstation

- ASCII terminal

- Terminal server (or patch panel connected to the terminal server)

For information on how to connect the console, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000 Server Installation Guide.

■ Use of Oracle Solaris OS

The Oracle Solaris OS is widely used in the world. The Oracle Solaris 10 OS
used by the M3000 server has an enhanced process privilege management
function and network function, and is further equipped with superior
functions including Oracle Solaris Predictive Self-Healing that enables error
prediction and self-recovery.

server. The optimum conditions indicate the recommended operating environment.
Operating the server for extended periods at or near the operating range limits or
installing the server in an environment where it remains at or near the non-operating
range limits could possibly increase the failure rate of hardware components
significantly. In order to minimize the occurrence of system failure due to
component failure, set temperature and humidity in the optimal ranges.
