Component Configuration Recognition and Temperature/Voltage
Monitoring

XSCF monitors component information such as the configuration status and the
serial numbers of components in the server. If an abnormality is detected in the
component configuration, it is displayed and reported to the user. XSCF periodically
monitors and displays the temperature inside the server, the ambient temperature,
component temperatures, voltage levels, and FAN speeds (rpm).

Internal Cabinet Configuration, Recognition, and Domain Configuration
Control Functions

XSCF displays the system configuration status, and it creates and changes domain
configuration definitions. It also provides domain start and stop functions, mainly
for its own use. In the server, the user can configure a domain as a single physical
system board (PSB) or a physical system board (PSB) logically divided (eXtended
System Boards: XSBs). The user assigns a domain and the Logical System Boards
(LSBs) number that can be referenced from the domain to the XSBs for control of the
domain configuration. The type of the physical system board (PSB) not logically
divided is called Uni-XSB and the type of the physical system board (PSB) logically
divided into four is called Quad-XSB.

For details on domain configuration, see the Overview Guide for your server and

Chapter 2

. Also, for each term, see Glossary.

Dynamic Reconfiguration Function

XSCF supports dynamic system board configuration change operations while the
domains are operating. Dynamic reconfiguration (DR) of a domain can be achieved
using XSCF. For details on DR, see the Dynamic Reconfiguration User’s Guide.

Console Redirection Function

XSCF provides a function that displays the OS console of the Solaris™ Operating
System (Solaris OS) of each domain. With an SSH (Secure Shell) or telnet connection
to XSCF, the user can access the console of any domain in the system. For details on
the console, see
