Introduction
Features
High Level of Availability and Reliability
When accessing stored data, 1-bit-errors in the main memory are automatically
recognized and corrected (EDC = Error Detection and Correction). The
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism
and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) tunes out defective
system components during an automatic system reboot.
The Prefailure Detection and Analyzing Technology (PDA) from Fujitsu
Siemens reports the threat of system errors or problems to the administrator so
that preventative measures can be taken.
The optional RAID controller supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 and increase
system availability.
The hot-swappable hard disk drives provide additional protection.
Server Management
Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied
ServerView
software and the PDA technology. PDA analyzes and monitors all components
that are vital for the system's reliability, thus enabling early detection of overload
situations and appropriate counter-measures.
ServerView
enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. Here
ServerView
supports the following functions:
●
Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
●
Timer-controlled switch-on (Timer)
●
Remote switch-on (Ring Indicator) or WOL (Wake On LAN)
●
Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
●
Pager message when rebooting system following an error
●
Monitoring of PCI bus loading
●
End-of-Life monitoring of the fans with timely notification before a failure
●
Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
●
Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
