XSCF Unit Diagnosis

When the input power is turned on or the XSCF is rebooted, XSCF performs initial
diagnostics for the XSCF itself, checks for abnormalities, displays any detected
abnormality, and reports it to the user. While the system is operating, the error
detection facility of the XSCF Unit continues to monitor itself, and if any errors are
detected, it will report them.

Initial System Configuration Function

XSCF configures the initial hardware settings of the XSCF Unit and initializes
hardware as required to start the OS. XSCF also controls the initial system
configuration information.

XSCF User Account Control

XSCF controls the user accounts for XSCF operations.

The basic types of user account privileges controlled by XSCF are listed below. The
server provides the XSCF Shell and XSCF Web, but their privileges depend on the
user privilege (type).

System administrator

Domain administrator

Operator

Field engineer

For details on the user privileges, see the Administration Guide.

Security

XSCF provides an encryption function using Secure Shell (SSH) or Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL). Any operation error or unauthorized attempt to access XSCF
functionality is recorded in a log. The system administrator can use this information
for troubleshooting system errors and unauthorized login attempts.

Power Control for the Server System and Domains

XSCF has power-on and power-off control of the server and temperature control by
the FAN operation. The user can press the power switch button on the operator
panel to turn on or off the whole system, or the user can use XSCF to turn on and off
the supply of power to the whole system or individual domains.
