The Lifeline feature provides remote accessibility for management of the OA-780
under failure conditions. Through the Lifeline management framework, the OA-
780 provides remote access to system management, independent of the state of
the system. It provides the ability to manage the system, diagnose the failure, and
recover from the failure.
The salient features of the Lifeline management framework are a separate
management plane with dedicated processors, N+1 dedicated architecture,
multiple access mechanisms to reach the system and unified management of all
services.
