The XSCF firmware is a system control facility mounted on SPARC M10 Systems as standard.
The XSCF firmware runs on a dedicated processor (service processor) that is independent of
the processors in the server.
The XSCF firmware is placed in each chassis of SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, and SPARC
M10-4S. The XSCF firmware interacts with a logical domain and controls the entire system.
If the system is comprised of multiple SPARC M10-4S chassis connected using the building
block (BB) configuration, a service processor is placed in each SPARC M10-4S chassis and
each crossbar box (XBBOX) that connects these chassis. The XSCF firmware runs on the ser-
vice processor.
XSCF Firmware
The main firmware and software used in SPARC M10 Systems are as follows.
Different firmware and software run in SPARC M10 Systems. They include the XSCF firm-
ware that monitors and controls the entire system and Oracle Solaris that is installed in logical
domains. The Hypervisor firmware, which is placed between the XSCF firmware and Oracle
Solaris, provides an interface that transfers the setting information from the XSCF to the logical
domains and reports the status of the logical domains to the XSCF.
Hypervisor
Oracle VM Server for SPARC is software for configuring a logical domain environment. It is used
by installing it in the Oracle Solaris environment.
