Active Memory
Active™ Memory is an feature that improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring, memory scrubbing, and the Memory ProteXion™ feature.
Memory scrubbing and Memory ProteXion
Memory scrubbing tests the memory at regular intervals to detect and report potential memory errors before they can cause server outages.
If a detected error is recoverable, the Memory ProteXion feature corrects the error and rewrites the data to another memory location on the same DIMM. The error is logged in the error log so that you can determine whether preventive maintenance is necessary.
If there are not sufficient undamaged memory locations that the data can be rewritten to, the error is unrecoverable. Other conditions can also cause unrecoverable errors. If a detected error is unrecoverable, LEDs on the Light Path Diagnostics panel are lit to indicate the failing DIMM.
You do not have to enable memory mirroring to use memory scrubbing and the Memory ProteXion feature.
Memory mirroring
Memory mirroring stores data in memory port 1 and memory port 2 simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must install identical dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in memory port 1 and memory port 2. For more information, see the section about installing memory modules in the Option Installation Guide on the Documentation CD.
To enable memory mirroring through the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Advanced Setup from the main menu, and select Memory Settings. For more information about using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see Chapter 2, “Configuring the server”, on page 17.
Note: To use the hot-add memory feature memory mirroring must be disabled in
the BIOS code.

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in your server support auto-negotiation, the controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operates at that rate and mode.
You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with your server. For updated information about configuring the controller, go to http://www.sec.co.kr/server/.

user interface
v Controlling the server remotely If you want to set up an ASM interconnect network and have not already done so,
continue with “Using the ASM interconnect network”. If you do not want to set up an ASM interconnect network, Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration is now complete. To start managing the server remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the Documentation CD.
Using the ASM interconnect network
This section explains how to configure and connect the server to function within an ASM interconnect network.
The ASM interconnect network can include as many as 12 individual ASM connections in a single bus. These connections can include Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters. When the clients and servers are connected, they use the ASM interconnect network to share ASM resources, information, and alerts among multiple servers, without having to add additional communications hardware or network interface adapters.
An ASM interconnect network provides two levels of functionality. First, the ASM interconnect network enables you to configure settings and to control the servers where other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters on the network reside. Second, the ASM interconnect network enables other interconnect network devices to use the resources (Ethernet or modem) of other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters in the ASM interconnect network for sending alerts. This interconnect network is used when Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI Adapters cannot send an alert and must forward the information to another one of these devices to send the alert.
Chapter 2. Configuring the server 43
Planning and cabling the interconnect network
To support the most recent ASM features, a Remote Supervisor Adapter must be the main gateway interconnect to the ASM interconnect bus if the bus also includes servers with ASM PCI adapters or ASM processors. The Remote Supervisor Adapter forwards the ASM information generated by the servers attached to the ASM interconnect bus to other servers on the Ethernet network. The connected ASM processors and ASM PCI Adapters are managed through the new user interface and Web browser access of the Remote Supervisor Adapter.
Note: To ensure the stability of the system, you must have the most current level of
firmware installed on the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is the main interconnect gateway for the ASM interconnect network. The most current level of firmware is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.sec.co.kr/server/. For more information on updating firmware, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the Documentation
CD.
You must connect an ASM Interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter and to each SS 370 that you connect to the ASM interconnect network bus.
Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector on the Remote Supervisor Adapter, do not connect the ASM Interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.
To connect the servers, note the following setup and configuration considerations: v Make sure that the ASM interconnect network is set up as a bus, not as a ring.
You must connect the servers to the ASM interconnect network in a series, with terminated beginning and end points.
v Make sure that the total combined length of all Ethernet cables connecting the
server in the ASM interconnect network does not exceed 91 M (300 ft).
v Each Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM PCI adapter, or ASM processor that is
connected to the ASM interconnect network bus counts as one connection. For example, if an ASM PCI adapter is installed in a server that has an ASM processor, the processor and the adapter connect to each other using one ASM interconnect connection, but the processor and the adapter count as two connections on the ASM interconnect network bus.
Forwarding alerts
Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM PCI adapters, and ASM processors that are connected to an ASM interconnect network share resources and system-management information. This section provides information on how alerts are forwarded in the ASM interconnect network.
During normal operation, each Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter on the ASM interconnect network communicates with the other processors and adapters on the network. Processors or adapters that have a modem or Ethernet connection notify the other processors and adapters that these communications resources are available for use by other servers on the ASM interconnect network. These resources are then used as ASM interconnect network resources, enabling Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI adapters on the ASM interconnect network to send alerts using a modem or the network, even if they do not have a modem or network connection physically attached.

When alerts are generated, they are forwarded to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter on the ASM interconnect network that has the communication resources to forward the alert. If no system on the ASM interconnect network meets the requirements, the alert is set for transmission if the connection type is configured or becomes available later.
If multiple modems or network connections exist in the ASM interconnect network, you cannot specify which system will receive an alert or which will use its modem or network connection to forward the alert. If an alert is forwarded to a Remote Supervisor Adapter, ASM processor, or ASM PCI adapter that is unable to deliver the alert (for example, the modem it is configured to use has failed or the network cannot resolve the destination IP address), the processor or adapter attempts to forward the alert to another system on the ASM interconnect network that has the communication resources to forward the alert.
Alerts are typically sent only once (per connection type), but an alert is forwarded to another interconnect device if the resources exist on other interconnect devices in the network. For example, on a three ASM processor network where ASM processor 1 generates a modem alert, but does not have a modem and the other ASM processors have modems, the following might occur:
If ASM processor 1 generates an alert and the modem is unplugged from ASM processor 2 45 seconds prior to ASM processor 1 generating the alert, ASM processor 1 forwards the alert to ASM processor 2, having previously determined that ASM processor 2 has an available modem. When ASM processor 2 receives the forwarded alert, it determines that a modem is attached to ASM processor 3, and forwards the alert. Therefore, depending upon the time frame (45 seconds) within which a resource (modem) fails, the alert might be forwarded multiple times until an interconnect device can send the alert.

Cabling for the ASM interconnect network
Depending upon the servers you have, you might need additional ASM Interconnect modules or Category 5 or Category 3 Ethernet cables.
For the servers that do not need an ASM Interconnect module, a module is still needed to connect the Remote Supervisor Adapter in the gateway server to the integrated ASM processor. After you make that connection, you can connect the servers together using their ASM interconnect ports. For additional information, see “ASM interconnect network configuration examples” on page 48.
Connecting the ASM Interconnect module to the SS370 : The ASM Interconnect module connects the Remote Supervisor
Adapter to the ASM interconnect network. This module must be purchased separately. To connect the ASM interconnect module to the Remote Supervisor Adapter, complete the following steps.
Attention: To avoid damage to the Ethernet connector, do not plug the ASM interconnect module into the Remote Supervisor Adapter Ethernet port.
1. Connect the ASM Interconnect module 1 to the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM interconnect (peer-to-peer) port 2 as shown in the following illustration. This port is on the edge of the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is accessible from the rear of the server and is labeled RS485.

Configuring scalable partitions
The Scalable Systems Manager program, when available, is an extension to IBM
Director that provides a graphical user interface for creating and managing scalable
partitions. See the Scalable Systems Manager Installation and Users Guide for information on how to use that program to configure scalable partitions on xSeries 445 servers. You can also use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure scalable partitions. This section provides information and instructions for creating and deleting scalable partitions through the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Before you create scalable partitions, read the following information: v Before you can create or delete a scalable partition, the Remote Supervisor
Adapters must be connected to a network or to each other with an Ethernet crossover cable. This connection is needed so that the Remote Supervisor Adapters can communicate and perform the necessary functions for the two servers to create or delete scalable partitions.
v When a scalable partition consisting of two servers in a 16-way configuration is
created, the DVD-ROM drive, diskette drive, keyboard, USB connectors, mouse, and video are disabled on the secondary server.
v In the Configuration/Setup Utility program Expansion Port A Destination and
Expansion Port B Destination refer to the RXE Expansion Port connection from the expansion enclosure to the server.
v In a 16-way configuration, the SMP IDs of the Primary and Secondary Scalable
Nodes must be different.
