Chapter 1 Introduction to Server Software and Configuration 3
Software Services
TABLE 1-1 contains an overview of XSCF firmware services and networks that are
part of your server, and where they are documented.
TABLE 1-1 Software Services
Service Description
Access control Access control includes logging in to the system, user accounts, passwords,
privileges, and XSCF firmware control.
Refer to Chapter 2.
Initial system
configuration
Initial configuration of the services for the Service Processor and the domains,
including DSCP network, XSCF network, DNS name service, LDAP service, NTP
service, HTTPS service, Telnet service, SSH service, SNMP service, and SMTP
service.
Refer to Chapter 3.
Domain configuration Each domain runs its own copy of the Solaris OS. Domains are managed by the
Service Processor XSCF firmware, and communicate with the Service Processor over
the DSCP network. You can access a domain console from the Service Processor or,
if your system is networked, log in to a domain directly.
Refer to Chapter 4.
Auditing The auditing function logs all security-related events.
Refer to Chapter 5.
Log archiving The log archiving function allows you to set up a remote host to automatically
receive and store log data from your server.
Refer to Chapter 6.
Capacity on demand
(COD)
Capacity on Demand is an option that allows you to purchase spare processing
capacity for your server. The spare capacity is provided in the form of one or more
CPUs on COD boards that are installed on your server. To use the CPU processing
capacity, you must purchase a license. The XSCF firmware allows you to set up and
manage COD.
Refer to Chapter 7.
Security Security is provided through access control (user names, passwords, privileges),
audit logs of security-related events, and various security protocols. Your server is
secure by default. That is, other than setting up user accounts and privileges, no
initial configuration has to be done related to security. For example, no insecure
protocols, such as Telnet, are initially enabled.
Refer to Chapter 2, Chapter 5.
