Sun Fire 15K/12K System Details Windows |
This chapter describes how to find hardware summaries, physical views, and logical views from the platform, domain, and system controller Details windows for Sun Fire 15K/12K systems. TABLE 5-1 lists the Sun Management Center agent modules for the Sun Fire 15K/12K systems that are viewable from the Sun Fire 15K/12K system Details windows:
These modules provide Sun Fire 15K/12K hardware monitoring and management capabilities and provide information about the Sun Fire 15K/12K composite configuration. See Chapter 6 in this supplement for detailed information about the objects and properties provided by these modules. See Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 in this supplement for detailed information about performing Sun Fire 15K/12K platform and domain dynamic reconfiguration and other management operations.
This chapter provides details about the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform, system controller, and domain information shown in the Details window. Three related chapters in the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide provide general information about using the Sun Management Center Details window:
For the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform, domain, and SC Details windows, you can access three types of views from the Hardware tab.
The Hardware Summary provides a table summary of the resources available to that entity.
The Physical View provides a photo-realistic view of the Sun Fire 15K/12K system. The Physical View shows only components that are visible in the chassis. For example, the centerplane board and I/O devices are not shown in the Physical View. To view information on these devices, examine the Logical View or Browser displays.
The Logical View provides a hierarchical view of the boards and components in that entity. Unlike the Physical View, which shows only those boards and components physically visible in the chassis, the Logical View shows all the boards and components, such as the centerplane and I/O devices.
The Sun Management Center Details window for a Sun Fire 15K/12K platform displays information about the entire platform hardware. This window includes the following tabs, which are explained in Chapter 13 of the Sun Management Center 3.5 User's Guide:
The Sun Fire 15K/12K platform is monitored by a Sun Management Center platform agent on the system controller. The platform agent is dedicated to this task; therefore, you cannot load or unload agent modules from the Sun Fire 15K/12K platform Details window.
This section describes using the Hardware tab to display information provided by the Sun Fire 15K/12K Platform Config Reader module. This module provides up-to-date information about platform hardware, including:
