The System Monitoring Network of the Lightning 9900
™
Series
The Lightning 9900
™
Series systems are designed with a system-monitoring network.
The system monitoring cables are connected to all cabinets in the Lightning 9900 Series
systems, and report a variety of system parameters, such as component failure, fan speed,
power, voltages, and temperature, to ensure trouble-free operation. This network not only
provides for efficient predictive maintenance (replacing a component before it fails), but
also for the failure alert system to expedite system repair after a component has failed. This
information is passed to the Control Frame, where it can be viewed either locally by the
Service Processor (SVP) or remotely by the Hitachi Resource Manager 9000
™
across a
private LAN on a UNIX
®
or Windows NT
®
console. Users can view failure information
via SNMP or S/390 SIMs. System status and alerts are also sent to Hitachi Data Systems
Customer Support Centers via the Hi-Track
™
“call-home” software facility.
