RSC Features

RSC has the following features:

• Remote system monitoring and error reporting, including output from power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot(TM) Diagnostics (OBDiag)

• Remote server reboot, power-on, and power-off on demand

• Ability to monitor the CPU temperature and fan sensors without being near the managed server, even when the server is offline

• Ability to run diagnostic tests from a remote console

• Remote event notification of server problems

• A detailed log of RSC events

• Remote console functions on both the serial and Ethernet ports

RSC complements existing Sun monitoring and diagnostics tools such as Solstice(TM) SyMON(TM), SunVTS(TM), the kadb kernel debugger, OpenBoot PROM (OBP), and OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag). Solstice SyMON operation remains unchanged, and it continues to be the main tool for observing system operation behavior and performance while the server operating system is up and running.
