ECC Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty
When the workstation encounters an excessive number of error
checking and correcting (ECC) memory errors, the workstation
displays a Local Alert message. This message contains detailed
information about the errant memory module, allowing you to
take action before you experience non-correctable memory
errors. The Prefailure Warranty for ECC memory modules
allows you to replace these modules, free of charge, before the
modules actually fail. ECC memory modules are optional on all
Compaq workstations.
✎
To use this feature, you must replace the standard
DIMMs or RIMMs with ECC DIMMs or ECC RIMMs.
Proactive Backup
Proactive Backup software initiates a tape or PD-CD backup
upon receiving notice of an impending SMART hard drive
failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate
Backup Exec tape backup software on the server, or with
Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive.
Together with the Compaq Management Agents, this software
offers a Proactive Backup solution. For instructions on
configuring the Backup Exec SMART Client, contact your
systems administrator or refer to the Seagate Backup Exec
documentation.
Cheyenne has also created an agent to support the Proactive
Backup solution. The SMART Drive Agent is the component
that recognizes and reacts to the SMART hard drive fault alerts.
This agent is an extension to the Microsoft Windows 95 tape
backup agent for the standalone application ARCsolo for
Windows. This agent works with the SMART hard drive to
ensure that critical data will be protected in the event of a hard
drive failure.
