The avoiding server system downtimes typically requires a range of technologies such as guaranteed error detection, recovery
processing, isolation of defective areas (degeneracy), error logging, and software alerts.
PRIMEPOWER incorporates a high-accuracy check feature drawn from mainframes. Elaborate checkers are installed in the main
unit, monitoring internal components at all times. Detecting symptoms and taking corrective measures before a problem occurs
minimizes the likelihood of a major problem.
PRIMEPOWER constantly monitors CPUs, memory, and system boards, as well as the status of the main unit such as fan revolutions
and internal equipment temperatures. This information is sent to and collected by the system monitoring function (SCF or XSCF).
The primary system components (disk, power supplies and fans, etc.) are redundancy-structured and hot-swappable. CPU modules
support dynamic degeneracy so that the system will continue to operate even when a failure occurs.
With the globalization of business and the growth in broadband age it has become essential to build IT systems capable of
providing service 24x7, free of interruptions and capable of flexible responce to sudden growth of operations.
Server System Manager is server management software that enables collective management of a system comprised of a PRIMEPOWER
UNIX servers, PRIMERGY IA servers, and the backbone IA server PRIMEQUEST.
