Physical and Logical Properties
|
The Sun Management Center console presents hardware information for the supported platforms using a common set of tables and fields. This chapter provides a summary of the classes and properties by table.
The chapter contains the following sections:
In the following tables, some fields can be filled with "--" or be blank in the following circumstances:
- The table or field is not currently used.
For example, for many physical components a serial number is not available and therefore the Serial Number field of the corresponding table will contain "--". This is also the case with other common properties.
- The field normally contains data under certain conditions.
For example, the Additional Info field contains textual information only when an alarm condition exists.
System Properties
The System Information table contains the top level view of the system hardware.

The Expansion Card table contains rows corresponding to PCI cards that are installed in your system. The hardware platform module can present a textual description of the card together with the SunStore optional component code and Sun Microsystems part number in the Description, Model Name and Part Number fields, respectively.
Appendix A contains a list of cards for which this information is currently available. Additional cards will be added in subsequent updates of the software as they become available.
Cards for which the add-on software is not configured to provide this information, display the text "--" in the Description, Model Name and Part Number fields.

Logical Device Properties
Devices represent the logical devices. For example, a CPU module could contain one or more processors, hence the CPU module would be represented as a physical component, whereas the processors within it would be represented here as logical devices. The following tables enumerate the logical devices included in the common model.
FIGURE 3-2 Part of the Logical Device Table Showing Indicators (Sun Fire V440 Shown)
Logical devices introduce an Availability property. The Availability values are:
- Other
- Unknown
- Running/Full Power
- Warning
- In Test
- Not Applicable
- Power Off
- Off Line
- Off Duty
- Degraded
- Not Installed
- Install Error
- Power Save - Unknown
- Power Save - Low Power Mode
- Power Save - Standby
- Power Cycle
- Power Save - Warning
- Paused
- Not Ready
- Not Configured
- Quiesced
Also introduced with logical devices is the Redundancy Status property. For devices that are part of a redundancy group, this indicates the current rôle played by this component. For example, a service processor may be operating in an active/standby pairing with another service processor. Similarly a network interface may be the primary or secondary member of a redundant network pair. Valid values for Redundancy Status are:
- Not Applicable
- Unknown
- Active
- Standby
- Primary
- Secondary
- Other
