Initial System Configuration Function
XSCF configures the initial hardware settings of the XSCF Unit and initializes
hardware as required to start the Solaris
TM
Operating System (Solaris OS). XSCF
also controls the initial system configuration information.
XSCF User Account Control
XSCF controls the user accounts for XSCF operations.
The basic types of user account privileges controlled by XSCF are listed below. The
server provides the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web, but their privileges depend on the
user privilege (type).
â– System administrator
â– Domain administrator
â– Operator
â– Field engineer
For details on the user privileges, see the Administration Guide.
Security
XSCF provides an encryption function using Secure Shell (SSH) or Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) and an audit function. Any operation error or unauthorized attempt to
access XSCF functionality is recorded in a log. The system administrator can use this
information for troubleshooting system errors and unauthorized login attempts.
Power Control for the Server System and Domains
XSCF has power-on and power-off control of the server. The user can press the
POWER switch on the operator panel to turn on or off the whole system, or the user
can use XSCF to turn on and off the supply of power to the whole system or
individual domains.
The user can power on and off the server by using XSCF as follows:
â– Power on/off the server or a domain
The user can turn on, turn off, or reset the server by using the XSCF Shell
command from a remote terminal, which is connected to XSCF over a LAN or
serial connection. When the user instructs power off, the Solaris OS is
automatically shut down, and then power will be turned off.
