Advanced System Monitoring
The Advanced System Monitoring (ASM) (formerly referred to as RAS) feature
utilizes dedicated hardware to function. This hardware enables the Firmware and
Software to monitor temperatures and voltages, and monitor and control cooling
fans. Further details can be found in Chapter 3, “Functional Description”.
Caution –
You must use the
boot -r
reconfiguration command each time the
machine is booted to attach the ASM drivers. Otherwise, the system runs without
ASM protection at the Solaris level.
