Auto Diagnosis and Recovery
Auto Diagnosis and Recovery capabilities extend the reliability, availability, and serviceability of the Sun Fire Midrange servers to help detect system failures when they occur, deconfigure faulty components out of a system, and automatically restore the system. These features combined with Sun's exclusive capability to hot-swap key components enables online replacement of failed components without downtime.
These capabilities build on Sun's mainframe-like availability and serviceability, such as Full Hardware Redundancy, Dynamic Reconfiguration, Domain Fault Isolation, Live System Upgrades, Online Maintenance, and End-to-End Data Integrity.
Auto Diagnosis and Recovery Features and Functions
|
|
Monitor system health and provide warnings of potential failures |
- Automatically deconfigure faulty components out of a system, reducing unplanned downtime (Component Health Status (CHS))
|
Automatically diagnose the most common causes of server faults and isolate the fault from the system |
- Detect and isolate faulty or suspect components eliminating manual onsite
diagnosis, and when combined with hot-swap capabilities, hot-swap components
before they cause a service interruption (Auto Diagnosis with Messaging)
- Provide detailed error messages for faster problem resolution and faster time
to service (Auto Diagnosis with Messaging)
- Detect potential CPU cache failures and offline affected CPUs, keeping
systems up and applications available (CPU Offlining)
- Removes a page of physical memory from use by Solaris. This page will not be allocated for use by either Solaris or a user application, keeping Solaris up and applications available (Memory Page Retirement)
|
Minimize service interruptions with automatic system recovery |
- Detect and recover from hung domains, for faster system recovery (Automatic Restoration of Hung Domains)
- Automatically run POST diagnostics at more detailed diagnostic levels, to more accurately identify failed components and prevent additional failures (Recovery from Repeated Domain Panics)
- Automatically restore domains, reducing the impact of faulty components on system availability (Auto Restoration)
