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.

CHAPTER

System Functions

This chapter explains the following hardware and software functions of the M3000 server.

■ Section 2.1, “Hardware Configuration” on page 2-1

■ Section 2.2, “Domain” on page 2-3

■ Section 2.3, “Resource Management” on page 2-3

■ Section 2.4, “RAS” on page 2-4

■ Section 2.5, “Oracle Solaris Operating System” on page 2-6

■ Section 2.6, “XSCF Firmware” on page 2-7

2.1 Hardware Configuration

This section explains the hardware configuration, which includes the following topics:

■ CPU

■ Memory Subsystem

■ I/O Subsystem

■ System Bus

■ System Control

2.1.1 CPU

The M3000 server contains the multi-core SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors that provide high performance. The SPARC64 VII+ and SPARC64 VII processors contain on-chip large-capacity caches (primary and secondary caches) to minimize memory latency. They also support an instruction retry function that enables continuous processing by retrying instructions whenever any error is detected.

2-1

2.1.2 Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem controls memory access and cache memory. The M3000 server uses DDR2 SDRAMs and can contain up to eight memory modules. The memory subsystem supports up to two-way memory interleaving for high-speed memory access.

2.1.3 I/O Subsystem

The I/O subsystem controls data transfer with I/O devices.

The I/O subsystem of the M3000 server contains the following:

■ PCIe cards

PCIe (x8 lane) slots

■ I/O controller (IOC) chip, which is the bridge chip between the system bus and

the I/O bus

■ PCI Express switch connected to slots

■ SAS port

2.1.4 System Bus

The CPU, memory subsystem, and I/O subsystem are directly connected to implement data transfer by using a high-speed broadband switch.

If a data error is detected in the CPU, memory access controller (MAC), or I/O controller (IOC), the system bus agent corrects the data and then transfers it.

2.1.5 System Control

The M3000 server is controlled by the eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF). The XSCF operates on a dedicated service processor, which operates independently from the processor of the server. As long as the power is supplied to the server, the XSCF constantly monitors the server even if the domain power is off.

For details, see Section 2.6, “XSCF Firmware” on page 2-7 and the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.

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

2.2 Domain

The function that divides one server into multiple independent systems is called partitioning. The partitioning function enables arbitrary assignment of resources in the server according to the job load or processing amount. Individual systems thus divided are referred to as domains. Each domain runs on an independent Oracle Solaris OS.

However, the M3000 server does not support the partitioning function and, therefore, the server cannot be divided into multiple domains. All resources in the server are allocated to a single domain that is preconfigured.

The basic hardware resource making up a domain is called the physical system board (PSB). The physical units (CPU, memory, I/O) making up the PSB are logically divided, and each divided configuration unit is called the extended system board (XSB). The types of XSB include the XSB making up a PSB not logically divided into multiple parts (Uni-XSB), and each XSB making up a PSB logically divided into four parts (Quad-XSB).

The PSB mounted in the M3000 server has one Uni-XSB. Because the system is not divided, there is only one domain.

For details on the domain, see the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Administration Guide.

2.3 Resource Management

This section explains the Oracle Solaris Zone function that supports reconfiguration of domain resources during system operation.

The Oracle Solaris OS has a function called Oracle Solaris Zone, which divides processing resources and allocates them to applications. The Oracle Solaris Zone provides flexible resource allocation, which enables optimal resource management with consideration given to the processing load.

In a domain, resources can be divided into sections called containers. The processing sections are allocated to each application. The processing resources are managed independently in each container. If a problem occurs in a container, the container can be isolated so that it does not affect other containers.

Chapter 2 System Functions 2-3

2.4 RAS

RAS means the functions related to Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability.

The RAS function minimizes the system downtime by providing error checking at adequate locations, and centralized monitoring and control of error checking. It further correctly determines faulty locations and enables replacement of faulty components during operation to minimize the system downtime.

■ Reliability

■ Availability

■ Serviceability

2.4.1 Reliability

Reliability represents the length of time the server can operate normally without failure.

Reliability is equally important to both hardware and software.

To improve quality, adequate components must be selected with consideration given to the product service life and the required response in case of a failure. In evaluations such as stress tests that check the service life, components and products are inspected to determine whether they meet the target reliability levels. Furthermore, software could have problems attributable not only to programming errors by also to hardware faults. These factors need to be taken into consideration to improve the reliability of the entire system.

The M3000 server provides the following functions to implement high reliability:

■ Periodic software diagnosis (host watchdog monitoring)

Cooperates with XSCF firmware to periodically check whether the software including the Oracle Solaris OS is running in the domain.

■ Periodic memory patrol

Periodically performs memory patrol to detect memory software errors and stuckat faults, even in memory areas not normally used. Memory patrol prevents faulty memory areas from being used by the OS or the application software and thereby prevents the occurrence of system failures.

■ Status checking of components

Keeps checking the status of each component to detect signs of an imminent fault, such as system down occurrences, and thereby prevents system failures.

2-4 SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Overview Guide • March 2012

2.4.2 Availability

Availability represents the ratio of time the server is accessible and usable. An operating ratio is used as an index.

Hardware and software problems in the system cannot be eliminated completely. To provide high availability, the system must be incorporated with mechanisms that enable continuous system operation even if a failure occurs in hardware such as components and devices, or in software such as the OS or business application software.

The M3000 server provides the following functions to implement high availability:

■ Supports redundant configurations and active/hot replacement of power supply

units and fan units

■ Supports redundant configurations and active/hot replacement of hard disk

drives by RAID technology

■ Extends the range of automatic correction of temporary faults in memory, system

buses, and LSI internal data

■ Supports the enhanced retry function and degradation function for detected faults

■ Shortens the system downtime by using automatic system reboot

■ Shortens the time taken for system startup

■ Collects fault information by the XSCF, and provides preventive maintenance

using different types of warnings

■ Supports the advanced ECC in the memory subsystem, which enables single-bit

error correction to continue processing in response to continuous burst read errors caused by memory device failures

■ Supports the memory patrol function implemented in hardware, that detects and

corrects memory errors without affecting software processing

In addition, combination with clustering software or operating management software can implement higher availability.

2.4.3 Serviceability

Serviceability is characterized by how easily a server fault can be diagnosed, and how quickly the server can be recovered from the fault or how easily the fault can be corrected.

To implement high serviceability, it must be possible to easily determine the components or devices that caused faults. Furthermore, to recover from failures, the system must be able to determine the cause of the failures and isolate the faulty

Chapter 2 System Functions 2-5

components, so that the field engineer can replace them with ease. In addition, it is important to notify the system administrator or field engineer of the symptoms in an easy-to-understand manner.

The M3000 server provides the following functions to implement high serviceability:

■ Status LEDs that are mounted on the operator panel, main replaceable

components, and components that support active/hot replacement

■ Remote monitoring of the server operating status and remote maintenance

function using XSCF

■ LED blinking function to indicate the maintenance target (CHECK LED, which is

also called the locator LED)

■ Notes and cautions marked on various label types for the system administrators

and field engineer

■ Automatic notification to report different types of faults to the system

administrator and field engineer

■ Centralized systematic monitoring, such as with SNMP, of complex systems such

as in the data center

2.5 Oracle Solaris Operating System

The M3000 server uses the Oracle Solaris OS. The Oracle Solaris OS has the following features:

■ Long-cultivated reliability

■ Affinity that fully brings out hardware performance of the SPARC architecture

■ A variety of application software and middleware

■ Resource management with Oracle Solaris Zone using Oracle Solaris container

technology

■ Advanced system management in cooperation with XSCF

For information on the Oracle Solaris OS, refer to the documents on the following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/index.html

2-6 SPARC Enterprise M3000 Server Overview Guide • March 2012

2.6 XSCF Firmware

The M3000 server uses the XSCF firmware to manage the system. The XSCF firmware, which is preinstalled in the service processor on the XSCF unit before shipment from the factory, enables you to configure, manage, and maintain system components.

2.6.1 User Interfaces

The XSCF provides two types of user interfaces.

■ XSCF Shell

The XSCF Shell is a command-line interface used by connecting terminals such as a personal computer and workstation to the server through a serial connection or LAN connection.

In a serial connection, the shell commands supported by XSCF can be used by connecting a terminal to the serial port on the server. In addition, the console redirection function provided by XSCF allows the terminal to be used as an OS console.

In a LAN connection, the shell commands supported by XSCF can be used by connecting a terminal to XSCF through Secure Shell (SSH) or telnet.

■ XSCF Web

The XSCF Web is a browser interface used by connecting terminals to the server through a LAN connection. The terminal is connected to XSCF using the browser running on the terminal.

For details of how to connect and use the interfaces, see the following documents:

■ SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide
