1.2 Overview of Machine Administration Functions

Machine Administration has the following functions:

The functions to be provided depend on the main unit model to be monitored.


For a PRIMEPOWER1/200/400/600 or GP7000F model 200/200R/400/400R/400A/600/600R, see Section 3.1.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."
For a PRIMEPOWER250/450, see Section 3.2.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."
For a PRIMEPOWER650/850/900/1500/2500/HPC2500, see Section 3.3.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."
For a PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 or GP7000F model 1000/2000, see Section 3.4.2, "Main Unit Models and Available Menus."

Hardware monitoring functions

This function is supported by all models.

The hardware monitoring functions display the hardware status, monitor hardware failures and hardware life, and detect signs of hardware-related problems. If the hardware status changes, these functions store log data in a log file and e-mail the information to the set destination. These functions also display error messages on the console.

The figure below outlines the hardware monitoring functions.

Log data function

This function is supported by all models.

The log data function references the log data collected by the hardware monitoring functions and saves the information to a save file for analysis.

The figure below outlines the log data function.

Maintenance guide function

This function is supported by all models. System Management Console (hereafter SMC) provides the maintenance guide function for the PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 model group and the GP7000F model 1000/2000 group. Accordingly, use SMC for these model groups.

The maintenance guide function displays guidance information on replacing a hardware component where an error has been detected (this type of hardware replacement is hereafter called hot swapping) while operating the main unit. Only hardware components are hot swappable. Moreover, which of the hardware components are hot swappable depends on the main unit model to be monitored.

The figure below outlines the maintenance guide function.

Automatic power control function

This function is supported by all models except PRIMEPOWER1. SMC provides the automatic power control function for the PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 model group, the PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500/HPC2500 model group, and the GP7000F model 1000/2000 group. Accordingly, use SMC for these model groups.

This chapter contains information common to all models.

The functions provided depend on the main unit model to be used.

The automatic power control function sets up the power on/off schedule of the main unit and automatically controls operation according to the schedule.

The figure below outlines the automatic power control function.

Hardware operation setting functions

This function is supported by all models except PRIMEPOWER1. SMC provides the Hardware operation setting function for the PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 model group, the PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500/HPC2500 model group, and the GP7000F model 1000/2000 group. Accordingly, use SMC for these model groups. However, XSCF is a function that is supported only by the PRIMEPOWER250 and 450 model group.

The hardware operation setting functions make the settings (such as XSCF/SCF setting and setting of RCI devices) required to operate the main unit.

The figure below outlines the hardware operation setting functions.

Firmware management function

This function is supported by all models. SMC provides the firmware management function for the PRIMEPOWER800/1000/2000 model group, the PRIMEPOWER900/1500/2500/HPC2500 model group, and the GP7000F model 1000/2000 group. Accordingly, use SMC for these model groups.

The firmware management function registers, deletes, and updates firmware, and displays the firmware version.

The figure below outlines the firmware management function.

Maintenance Program Startup function

This function is supported by all models.

This function can also start the diagnostic program and REMCS Agent.

The figure below outlines the maintenance program startup function.

Other functions

Machine Administration provides functions for the following other tasks:
