CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview

• RCI redundancy (only for the high-end system)

The eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) unit (Note) of the high-end system has

a redundant configuration (duplicated configuration), realizing a high-reliability

system. The redundant configuration of the XSCF unit can duplicate a network (RCI

network) created by connecting RCI units with RCI cables.

Note: The XSCF has a system control facility that runs on a service processor

provided as standard in the base cabinet. A board with a preinstalled XSCF

control program (XSCF firmware) is an XSCF unit.

1.2 RCI Functions

This section describes the functions provided by the RCI.

• RCI network status monitoring

For stable operation of an RCI network, an RCI host constantly monitors the status of

the RCI network. Upon detection of a failure in the RCI network, the RCI host

collects a hardware log and reports the failure to the relevant domain.

• Control of power supply to RCI I/O units

When an RCI host is powered on or off, the RCI host powers on or off, respectively,

RCI I/O units synchronously. When at least one RCI host in an RCI network is

powered on, all RCI I/O units are powered on synchronously. When all RCI hosts are

powered off, all RCI I/O units are powered off synchronously.

• Interlocking mechanism for power supply to domains

When remote power control mode is set for a domain, the domain is powered on and

off in synchronization with other domains in the RCI network.

To set remote power control mode in a domain, execute the setpwrmode command in

the domain.

For details, see the Enhanced Support Facility User's Guide for Machine

Administration.
