The following table provides a summary of each tool with a pointer to additional
information.
Tool Description For More Information
Solaris Dynamic
Reconfiguration
(DR) software
DR is used in conjunction with hot-plug
operations and provides the ability to logically
and physically attach or detach hardware
resources (such as PCI cards) without impacting
normal system operations.
See page 127.
Multipathing
software
Multipathing software is used to define and
control alternate (redundant) physical paths to
I/O devices. If the active path to a device
becomes unavailable, the software can
automatically switch to an alternate path to
maintain availability.
See page 131.
Sun Management
Center software
Sun Management Center software is a
convenient, single solution for managing
multiple Sun servers, devices, and network
resources. With its simple Java technology-based
graphical interface, Sun Management Center lets
you manage and monitor servers remotely from
any location in the network. It also provides
access to real-time system performance and
configuration data, and helps diagnose potential
capacity problems and performance bottlenecks.
See page 132.
Sun Remote System
Control (RSC)
software
RSC is a remote management tool for
monitoring and controlling geographically
distributed or physically inaccessible servers
over serial lines or an Ethernet network. RSC
software works in conjunction with the system
controller card in the Sun Fire V890 server to
serve as a “lights out” management tool that
continues to function even when the server
operating system goes offline or the server is
powered off.
