The Sun Flash Accelerator F20 ESM Monitoring Utility is a simple tool that you install on your host server to track the life of the ESM. Once installed, the ESM Monitoring Utility runs weekly to track the age of your ESM. The utility sends messages to the console and the /var/adm/messages file as the ESM approaches or exceeds the replacement interval. Optionally, you can use an external monitoring tool to configure an SNMP trap that sends an email alert when these messages appear.
The utility can be run manually anytime to display the current ESM replacement data on all installed cards.
Note - Installation of this utility is required on cards with part number 511-1500-01 and 511-1275-03 or less to maintain optimal performance for the life of the card. This option will not work on cards with part numbers 511-1500-02 and 511-1275-04 or higher.
Download the ESM Monitoring Utility.
Go to http://cs.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Operating Systems&tab=3.
Locate the “Sun Flash Accelerator F20 ESM Monitoring Utility for Oracle Solaris 1.0”.
Log in (if required) to download the file.
To install the utility, follow the directions in the README file.
If you have multiple Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe cards of the same age installed, consider replacing the ESMs at the same time to minimize system downtime. Service the ESM (F371-4650) as described in the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe User's Guide (820-7265).
