Auto Diagnosis and Recovery Enhancements for Sun Fire Midrange Servers Updated for Firmware Release 5.19.0 
by Tricia Wittsack
August, 2005
Beginning with firmware release 5.15.0 for the System Controller (SC), several enhancements were made to improve the availability serviceability, diagnosability, and repair characteristics of Sun Fire midrange servers. These enhancements provided in the system controller firmware, combined with enhancements to the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS), implement auto diagnosis and recovery capabilities that can increase system uptime, decrease system outages, improve system resiliency when a hardware fault occurs and minimize service interruptions. These enhancements automate many processes and procedures which required human intervention prior to firmware version 5.15.0. Firmware version 5.19.0 and the appropriate Solaris OS with all relevant kernel updates and patches are required to fully benefit from these enhancements.
This document is useful for support personnel and assumes a basic technical knowledge of the Sun Fire midrange servers.
