[Software Introduction]
Advanced RAS Module3 Ver3.1.1.0e (hereinafter called "this software") supports
the following features with RHEL7.3.
Machine Check Monitoring Service provides a service to identify fault component
of hardware by sending logs of correctable error occurred on CPU and memory
of Linux server to the firmware in the server.
If the number of times correctable error occurrence exceeds threshold value,
Machine Check Monitoring Service performs Core Offline (offlining of CPU) or Page Offline (offlining memory page) to prevent system down due to uncorrectable error.
Using the Capacity Optimization (COPT) feature, the server is shipped with only the CPU cores required for system enabled.
This can reduce the cost for license fee for the software that requires license fee in proportional to number of CPU cores.
Furthermore, enabled CPU core can be increased by purchasing 1-Core Enable Key separately if the CPU core resources become insufficient.
This software supports Static COPT only with RHEL7.3.
Static COPT requires OS to be rebooted to activate a new CPU core in the system.
You can specify the number of enabled cores to each of CPU sockets by --assign option of corecapctl command.
PCIe Live Error Recovery is a feature to improve the I/O availability. In the event of a critical/uncorrectable failure occurs to an adapter, the feature will bring down the PCIe link associated with the failed root port within one cycle and automatically reinitialize the adapter in the case of the intermittent failure to maintain. Without this feature, if a critical I/O failure occurs to the adapter, the system will be down. This feature improves more the I/O availability by a combination of redundant I/O features such as NIC Teaming.
necmemras tool allows specifying memory RAS mode on Linux OS. With using this tool, you can easily enable Memory Mirroring of each NUMA node and enable Address Based Memory Mirroring.
[Precautions for applying this software]
