Preface x Express5800/320Ma: Technical Reference Guide
Chapter 1 ftServer Drivers and Services 1- This chapter provides technical reference information about ftServer drivers and ftServer services. ftServer drivers This section provides technical reference information for the Board Instance driver, Fibre Channel (FC) driver, SCSI port duplex driver, Intelligent Platform Management (IPMI) driver, ftServer ATI Video Driver, sravtmmb.sys, sravtmdp.sys, and srasata.sys.
ftServer drivers For information about the drivers for EMC Fibre Channel (FC) storage systems, see the EMC documentation supplied with your storage system. Also, refer to the EMC Web site for the latest driver updates approved and qualified by EMC for your Express5800/320Ma system. SCSI Port Duplex Driver The SCSI Port Duplex driver: • Provides redundant paths to disk devices on a Fibre Channel PCI Adapter ports. • Handles error recovery.
ftServer services VTM Dump Driver The sravtmdp.sys driver, the VTM dump driver, controls the process of getting a dump of VTM adapter memory and registers. The host initiates a dump in the event of a heartbeat failure or other errors from the VTM. VTM initiates a dump of itself if it detects a fatal error. You can also request a dump from the VTM Homepage. srasata.sys Driver The srasata.sys driver controls the SATA internal disks.
ftServer services – Collects information about the system and generates state change information – Controls system hardware to bring up and bring down devices – Generates traces for use in troubleshooting problems. – Initiates PnP enumeration when required • Policy (Policy.exe) identifies alarm conditions by filtering and correlating Express5800/320Ma hardware and software events. • Provider Manager (Srasvc.
Chapter 2 Express5800/320Ma System Features 2- This chapter provides technical reference information for the following Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.
Administering an ftGateway Group Manually To create a new ftGateway group 1. Access the system that is to be the gateway system. Start ftSMC. 2. In ftSMC, double-click the ftServer Configuration node to expand the child nodes beneath it. 3. Right-click the ActiveService Network icon and click Create ftGateway Group. 4. In the Create ftGateway Group on ActiveService Network dialog box, type the name you want to give the ftGateway group in the Group Name box. 5.
Managing MTBF Statistics To remove an ftGateway group 1. Access the Express5800/320Ma gateway system. Start ftSMC. 2. Be sure to remove all slave systems from the ftGateway Group. 3. In ftSMC, double-click the ftServer Configuration node to expand the child nodes beneath it. 4. Right-click the ActiveService Network icon and click Remove ftGateway Group. Managing MTBF Statistics This section describes how the MTBF is calculated and how to display, clear, and set the MTBF threshold.
Managing MTBF Statistics device to test itself. If the device fails the test, the error is a hard error and the device is taken out of service. If the device passes the test, the error is a soft error. The system takes the device out of service and places it in the Broken state under these circumstances: • The error is a hard error. • The error is a soft error, and the MTBF is less than the MTBF threshold for the device.
Managing MTBF Statistics MTBF Calculation The calculation of the new the MTBF is as follows: CurrentMtbf * (FailureCount - 1) + TimeSinceLastFailure MTBF = FailureCount For the MTBF to be below the threshold, the FailureCount must be equal to or greater than 3, and the calculated the MTBF must be below the threshold. For example, Table 2-2 shows the progression of failures causing recalculation of the MTBF.
Managing MTBF Statistics Changing the MTBF Threshold The MTBF threshold is expressed in seconds. If a device’s MTBF falls beneath this threshold, the system takes the device out of service and changes the device state to Broken. ! CAUTION Express5800/320Ma presets the MTBF thresholds. You should not modify them unless instructed to do so by NEC Technical Support or your service representative. If you change the MTBF threshold for a device, the device is not affected until another failure occurs.
ftServer Manager Event Handling ftServer Manager Event Handling As shown in Figure 2-1, when a hardware device fault or event occurs, the device’s driver sends those events to the Express5800/320Ma Policy service, which determines whether the events are significant or not. Significant events are forwarded to the Alarm service for processing. The dotted lines around the Maintenance and Diagnostic Service box in Figure 2-1 indicate that the service does not manage all devices.
ASN Connection Retry Cycle can adjust the parameters described in Table 2-3 to increase the time between phone calls, and thereby reduce the number of attempted calls. If an attempt to establish an ASN connection fails, ftServer Manager can attempt to send the alarm over the Internet if the Send Alarms By property is configured for Internet backup. ftServer Manager also continues to attempt to establish an ASN connection.
ASN Connection Retry Cycle If an additional alarm condition occurs during one of the Medium Idle Time Between Re-sends or Long Idle Time Between Re-sends periods, ftServer Manager interrupts the current cycle. ftServer Manager then attempts to establish an ASN connection according to the settings of the Short Idle Re-send Count and Short Idle Time Between Re-sends parameters.

SNMP Traps SNMP Traps Most alarms can also generate SNMP traps. Device state alarms generate an SNMP trap whenever a device state transitions to an online, broken, or offline state and whenever a device state transitions from one of these states. Sensor threshold alarms generate an SNMP trap whenever a sensor status improves or worsens to normal, warning, and critical states. All of the device state and threshold alarms in Table 4-1 through Table 4-6 can generate SNMP traps.

Chapter 5 BIOS Setup 5- The ftServer Setup utility is the BIOS setup utility for your Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, or Dual-Core system. Although the ftServer Setup enables you to set up or restore default system values by navigating the setup screens and menus, exercise caution before changing BIOS settings. The utility provides help for using the setup screens.
Starting the ftServer Setup Utility Starting the ftServer Setup Utility This section describes how to start the ftServer Setup utility. To start the ftServer Setup utility 1. Turn on or restart your system. When the logo screen appears, or when messages first begin to appear on your monitor, press F2 to enter ftServer Setup. 2. The system continues the POST (power-on self test) process for a minute or two, and then displays the ftServer Setup Main menu.
