You can reclaim inactive ICMB system resources on the primary server. Doing so frees the
memory taken up by the SDR and FRU information on the primary server for any remote device
that is no longer visible on the network (via ICMB).
Memory Array
The memory array sensor screen displays information and status about each memory array.
Sensor-specific information is displayed in the Sensor Information tabbed page. Not all servers
support this component.
Memory Device
The memory device sensor screen displays information and status about each memory device.
Sensor-specific information is displayed in the Sensor Information tabbed page. Not all servers
support this component.
PCI HotPlug Device
The PCI HotPlug Device sensor screen displays information about each PCI Hot Plug device
installed in a PHP slot. If the server hardware does not support PCI HotPlug it will not appear in
the navigation pane and the screen will not be available.
Power Supply
The power supply sensor screen displays information and status about each power supply.
Sensor-specific information is displayed in the Sensor Information tabbed page. Not all servers
support this function.
Power Unit
For systems that support it, PIC monitors the status of the power supplies in the managed server.
Each power supply is independently configurable for event actions upon failure. The power unit
sensor screen displays information and status about each power unit. Not all servers support this
component.
If a power supply reports a predictive failure condition, then PIC reports the status as a non-critical
condition in the health branch of the PIC Console software, and the requested event actions are
carried out.
If a power supply fails, the failure is reported as a critical condition in the health branch of the PIC
Console software, and the requested event actions are carried out. PIC also reports the system
power as nonredundant and as a noncritical condition in the health branch of the PIC Console
software, and the requested event actions are carried out.
For systems that do not support power supply sensors, this portion of the PIC Console software
will not display.
