MPxIO
Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO), a feature found in the Solaris 8 operating environment, is
a native multipathing solution for storage devices such as Sun StorEdge™ disk
arrays. MPxIO provides:
■
Host-level multipathing (there is no multipathing support for boot devices)
■
Physical host controller interface (pHCI) support
■
Sun StorEdge T3 and Sun StorEdge A5x00 support
■
Load balancing
■
Coexistence with Alternate Pathing (AP) and Dynamic Multipathing (DMP)
For further details about MPxIO, see “Multiplexed I/O (MPxIO)” on page 71. Also
consult your Solaris documentation.
Sun Remote System Control
Sun Remote System Control (RSC) software is a secure server management tool that
lets you monitor and control your server over a serial line, over a modem, or over a
network. RSC provides remote system administration for geographically distributed
or physically inaccessible systems. The RSC software works with the RSC card on
the Sun Fire V480 system PCI riser board. The RSC card provides modem and
private Ethernet connections to a remote console, and a serial connection to a local
alphanumeric terminal.
Once RSC is configured to manage your server, you can use it to run diagnostic tests,
view diagnostic and error messages, reboot your server, and display environmental
status information from a remote console. Even if the operating system is down, RSC
can send an email or pager alert about power failures, hardware failures, or other
important events that may be occurring on your server.
RSC provides the following features:
■
Remote system monitoring and error reporting (including diagnostic output)
■
Remote reboot, power-on, power-off, and reset functions
■
Ability to monitor system environmental conditions remotely
■
Ability to run diagnostic tests from a remote console
■
Ability to capture and store the console log, which you may review or replay
later, remotely
■
Remote event notification for overtemperature conditions, power supply failures,
fatal system errors, system shutdown, or system reset
■
Remote access to detailed event logs
■
Remote console functions via modem, Ethernet, or serial port
