Reliability, availability, and serviceability
features
Three of the most important factors in server design are reliability,
availability, and serviceability (RAS). These factors help to ensure
the integrity of the data stored on your server; that your server is
available when you want to use it; and that should a failure occur,
you can easily diagnose and repair the failure with minimal
inconvenience.
The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features on the IBM
Netfinity 3000 server. Many of these features are explained in the
following chapters of this book.
