13 Chapter 1 Outline of Machine Administration 1.1 What is Machine Administration? Machine Administration means the application to systems where the Solaris(TM) Operating Environment is installed and involves the support of system operation and maintenance which depends on the hardware used. 1.2 Outline of Functions Machine Administration sets the hardware environment and collects information by monitoring the status of hardware. This information can be used to understand operation status through the display of information in the hardware configuration view. This data also can be displayed as log data. Machine Administration remotely monitors system status, analyzes log data, and detects possible hardware faults. The system administrator is notified automatically when the product life management is required as specified. Preventive maintenance of hardware becomes possible and system reliability is improved as a result. Machine Administration monitors and sets the hardware, sets and displays various types of log data, and displays a Machine Administration menu and command, which provides guidance on maintenance work when hot swapping of hardware is necessary. Machine Administration provides hardware operation tests which also help improve system reliability. If the server is a model connected with SMC, the function of Machine Administration cooperates with SMC. 1

Monitors the product's service life span Monitors the product life of the battery and fan. Monitors preventive replacement Monitors errors in disks and memory, and judges whether preventive replacement is necessary. The predetermined person responsible is notified if any of the above monitoring events occur. 2.2 Monitoring Abnormalities Related information is written to the Machine Administration monitor log if a hardware abnormality is detected. A message requesting immediate replacement of hardware is simultaneously sent to the console or the predetermined person responsible is notified. Devices whose immediate replacement required are highlighted when the hardware configuration is displayed in the menus and commands. 2.3 Monitoring Product Life Product life monitoring is enabled for such devices as the battery and fan as required. Product life monitoring information is set by using menus and commands. A message requesting the replacement will be sent to the console or to the person responsible when the product life of the item is nearly expired or when it has expired. Information will also be written to the Machine Administration monitor log as an addition to the above. Devices whose service life has expired are highlighted when the hardware configuration is displayed in the menus and commands. 2.4 Monitoring Preventive Replacement Preventive replacement is determined based on the frequency of and intervals between errors in the disk and memory. A request for preventive replacement will be sent to the console or person responsible when the preventive replacement is required. Information will also be written to the Machine Administration monitor log. Devices whose life has expired are highlighted when the hardware configuration is displayed in the menus and commands. 2.5 Checking Hardware Status It is possible to check the status of hardware being monitored by the Machine Administration monitor, displaying the hardware configuration as indicated in the menus and commands.
