CHAPTER 3 General Software Configuration
3.2.1
Linux
Linux supports large-scale enterprise environments that require high reliability:
(1) Support of large-scale systems
Linux supports construction of large-scale systems by increasing scalability with the
following functions:
• 64-bit virtual space
Large-scale business applications can be developed without consideration of the
virtual space size.
• Support of large-scale SMP
A high-performance system with a large-scale SMP configuration can be constructed
using high-speed interconnect technology.
• Increased number of connected devices
Large-scale storage systems can be managed.
• Support of large-capacity storage
Systems that handle large-volume data can be managed.
(2) Higher reliability and availability
Linux works together with hardware to increase reliability and availability as follows:
• Enhancing drivers
Error handling is enhanced, thereby increasing reliability.
• Machine Check Abort (MCA) information logging function
Information on recoverable errors is always collected in a log and used for protection
against the errors and maintenance.
• PCI hot plugging
PCI cards that support PCI hot plugging are hot-swappable.
• Guaranteed uniqueness of device names
Each device name is guaranteed to be unique even if a device is removed or replaced
because of a disk failure.
