Storage Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature tracks over 12 failure indication parameters, such as time-outs,
spin-up, and self-test errors of SCSI drives. You can use these parameters to
pinpoint failed storage subsystem components and to recover from controller
or hard drive failure.
Storage Automatic Reconstruction
This feature automatically reconstructs data to an online spare or to a replaced
drive if a drive fails. To use the reconstruction feature, you must configure
your server for drive mirroring or data guarding. The reconstruction decreases
system downtime by allowing rapid recovery to full system operation if a
drive fails.
Network Interface Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature tracks over 20 failure indication parameters, such as alignment
errors, lost frames, and frame copy errors, of Ethernet and Token Ring
network interfaces. It decreases network downtime by enabling diagnosis of
actual network interface failures.
Memory Fault Recovery Tracking
This feature inspects the operation of the memory subsystem looking for
uncorrectable memory errors.
