Sun Fire High-End Systems Details Windows |
This chapter describes how to access hardware summaries, physical views, and logical views from the platform, domain, and system controller Details windows for Sun Fire high-end systems.
Note - Some of the illustrations of Detail windows in this supplement have tabs that say Browser and Modules. The correct tab names are Module Browser and Module Manager. |
TABLE 5-1 lists the Sun Management Center agent modules for the Sun Fire high-end systems that are viewable from the Sun Fire high-end systems Details windows.
These modules provide Sun Fire high-end systems hardware monitoring and management capabilities and provide information about the Sun Fire high-end systems 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 high-end systems platform and domain dynamic reconfiguration and other management operations.
This chapter provides details about the Sun Fire high-end systems platform, system controller, and domain information shown in the Details window. Chapter 6, "Viewing Detailed Information About a Managed Object," in the Sun Management Center User's Guide provides general information about using the Sun Management Center Details window.
For the Sun Fire high-end systems platform, domain, and SC Details windows, you can access three types of views from the Hardware tab.
Note - Not all alarms are displayed in the Physical View and Logical View. |
The Hardware Summary provides a table summary of the resources available to that entity.
The Physical View provides a photorealistic view of the Sun Fire high-end systems. 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.
The Sun Management Center Details window for a Sun Fire high-end systems platform displays information about the entire platform hardware. This window includes the following tabs, which are explained in Chapter 6, "Viewing Detailed Information About a Managed Object," in the Sun Management Center User's Guide:
The Sun Fire high-end systems platform is monitored by a Sun Management Center platform agent on the system controller. The platform agent is dedicated to this task.
