Sun Remote System Control Software
Sun Remote System Control (RSC) software is a secure server management tool that
lets you monitor and control your server over a serial line or over a network. RSC
provides remote system administration for geographically distributed or physically
inaccessible systems. The RSC software works with the system controller (SC) card
on the Sun Fire V490 system PCI riser board. The SC card provides an Ethernet
connection to a remote console and a serial connection to a local alphanumeric
terminal.
Once RSC is configured to manage your server, you can use it to run diagnostic tests,
view diagnostic and error messages, reboot your server, and display environmental
status information from a remote console.
RSC provides the following features:
■ Remote system monitoring and error reporting (including diagnostic output)
■ Remote reboot, power-on, power-off, and reset functions
■ Ability to monitor system environmental conditions remotely
■ Ability to run diagnostic tests from a remote console
■ Ability to capture and store the console log, which you may review or replay
later, remotely
■ Remote event notification for overtemperature conditions, power supply failures,
fatal system errors, system shutdown, or system reset
■ Remote access to detailed event logs
■ Remote console functions via Ethernet or serial port
For more details about system controller hardware, see “About the System
Controller (SC) Card” on page 33.
For further information, see “How to Monitor the System Using the System
Controller and RSC Software” on page 190 and the Sun Remote System Controller
(RSC) User’s Guide provided on the Sun Fire V490 Documentation CD.
