1.2 RCI Functions
Facility control
Different kinds of facility control are available when the external power controller is
connected to the RCI. The external power controller can link with the customer's
existing facilities, power on each unit, recognize alarms of each unit, use the operator
call function through a contact interface, and perform other such operations. Use the
setrcic command at the setting of the facility control. For details on the facility
control, contact authorized service personnel.
Power-on wait
The power-on wait function automatically powers on RCI I/O units before powering
on RCI hosts.
To use this function in a domain, execute the setpowerupdelay command in the
domain.
For details, see the XSCF Reference Manual.
Asynchronous RCI monitoring
The following functions are available when the asynchronous RCI monitoring
function is enabled for a cluster:
z Mutual monitoring for detection of abnormalities in RCI hosts (asynchronous
monitoring)
In addition to performing periodic monitoring by INTERCONNECT, this function
detects abnormalities such as the panic state in an RCI host.
z Reliable stopping of an abnormal RCI host
This function stops, without fail, an abnormal RCI host without terminating a
hang-up, slowdown, or generated panic.
z Switch control
This function controls line selector switching or other switching in the event that
an RCI host fails.
