Sun Microsystems 240 - Manuals

The Netra 240 server includes integrated high-bandwidth networking, supported by the Solaris Operating System. A wide range of middleware applications is also available to reduce implementation and deployment time. Standard advanced manageability features allow for efficient, remote system administr...

• Serial Management: An RJ-45 serial port provides a console port as well as an out-of-band serial management interface. • USB: Two USB ports support ZIP drives and other peripherals. • SCSI: An external Ultra160 SCSI port enables connection of disk arrays and other high-speed storage devices. • PCI...

Chapter 2 Netra 240 Server Architecture Sun designed the Netra 240 servers to deliver multiprocessor performance, scalability, and flexibility in conven- ient 2 RU enclosures. To this end, high-volume components and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) have enabled a greatly reduced part...

• Two USB ports • One full-length PCI slots and two half-length PCI slots • Daughter-board connector for the optional Sun Crypto Accelerator 500 board • System management controller service processor for remote management (ALOM) Figure 2-3 is a block-level diagram of the motherboard in the Netra 240...

with main memory, improving sequential PCI DMA performance. This approach minimizes J-Bus transactions for I/O and enhances performance for I/O access to main memory. In addition, the JIO Hostbridge ASICs support PCI DMA write and read bursts of 1 KB (32-bit PCI) and 2 KB (64-bit PCI) with no discon...

Serial Ports Serial ports provide a convenient way to connect Netra 240 servers to terminal and other serial devices using two asynchronous serial ports. The serial A port (RJ-45 connector) is used as a console and serial interface to the System Management Controller ASIC and ALOM. The serial B port...

Based on the Broadcom BCM5822 co-processor, the SCA 500 board accelerates a variety of computation-inten- sive cryptographic algorithms for security protocols in e- commerce applications. The SCA 500 daughter board off- loads SSL functionality normally performed by system CPUs. Using 3DES, it accele...

System Configuration Card System administrators often need to replace or upgrade a server with minimal downtime. To facilitate faster upgrades and repairs, the System Configuration Card (SCC) stores the Netra 240 server’s system configuration, including the host ID, MAC address, and NVRAM settings. ...

The following table summarizes the Netra 240 server’s enclosure and power specifications. Table 2-2: Enclosure and power specifications of the Netra 240 server. Configuration Netra 240 Server Dimensions Height: 87.4 mm (3.44 in.) – 2 RU Width: 425 mm (16.73 in.) without bezel 442 mm (17.4 in.) inclu...

Chapter 3 Software for Deploying Highly-Available Services The need for continuous operation in mission- and business- critical environments demands not only well- designed hardware but sophisticated software capabilities as well. The Netra 240 server comes pre-installed with the Solaris Operating S...

many of the key elements that enable efficient, centralized administration and automation. For example, admin- istrators can boot Sun systems remotely over the network and can install operating systems from remote system administration servers. Solaris JumpStart software, a standard component of the...

ALOM supports the following remote system management capabilities: • Host status monitoring and automatic server restart: ALOM monitors environmental conditions, as well as the status of the power supply and fans in the Netra 240 server. It provides a service indicator and event or failure notice to...

• Reduce traffic congestion and increase network efficiency • Control user and application access to network resources • Gather detailed network use statistics and accounting data for usage-based billing and trend analysis Storage Management Tools To manage the growing volumes of mass storage in tod...

Chapter 4 Service Solutions Qualified system administrative talent is increasingly expensive and hard to find in the Telecom industry. As an organization continues to grow, it must extend the expertise of its valuable system administrative staff—asking it to manage larger and larger numbers of syste...

Chapter 5 Conclusion Today’s organizations are facing many challenges. Telecommunications operators must be on-line 24 hours a day and systems must be managed to handle peak loads without disruption or service degradation. Computing infra- structures must scale both horizontally and vertically—witho...
