Additional SAM Changes
The Guardian Service Processor was introduced for the N4000 mid-range servers with
the May 1999 Extension Pack and subsequently on all new servers. (See “Service
Processor (GSP or MP)” on page 89 in Chapter 3 for more information.) The new card has
a port for the system console, as well as optional ports that can be used to connect
terminals, modems, and Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS). SAM has been modified
to aid in the configuration of these optional ports.
SAM allows you to launch the Partition Manager (parmgr), the new system
administration tool that supports the initial and ongoing configuration of Superdome
systems. See “Partition Manager (parmgr)” on page 66 in Chapter 2 for details.
In this release, SAM allows selecting workstation kernel parameter sets to tune your
system for CAE/ME or EE applications. See “Workstation Tuned Kernel Parameters” on
page 98 in Chapter 3 for more information.
