Monitoring the Server
Excluding / Including Hardware Elements
As Customer Administrator, if a redundant hardware element is faulty, you can logically
Exclude it from the domain until it has been repaired or replaced. To be taken into account,
exclusion requires domain power OFF/ON.
A complete list of logically excluded hardware elements can be obtained via the Hardware
Monitor search engine. See Using the Hardware Search Engine, on page 4-10.
Important:
Hardware elements must be excluded with care. The exclusion of non-redunda4nt hardware
elements will prevent the server domain from booting. Exclusion guidelines are given in the
Hardware exclusion guidelines table, on page 4-25.
