"RMP is inoperable." Message
During Boot
Server 195/295 systems with RMP boards at rev 28 or
lower. Replace RMP board ver 28 or lower with FRU
P/N 92F0200 (revision 29 or higher).
Note: RMP
firmware must match the level being replaced to assure
system compatibility.
Temporary work-around:
Reset RMP by pressing (only once
*) the white button on top of RMP next to red LED and
reboot system. If error message goes away, the cause was a
drained battery on RMP. Determine the cause of the
drain.
Typically the drain is a terminal or modem attached to the
RMP without system power. Once battery is recharged,
the error message will no longer occur.
Warning! DO NOT HOLD
DOWN FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. (More than 2 seconds may result in severe system
damage).
RMP Components
N80C186XL, 5(x) 84256A (total of 1,256K memory),
WD16C552 (serial and parallel), and 5(x) MAX232CPEs serial
line drivers. Sensing components are an ADC0808N, LM34CZ
temp sensors, TL7705CP Supply Voltage Supervisor, and a
DS1286 Watchdog.
Errata: The WD16C552 chip supports up to 512K baud!
No keyboard controller, the only KB controller I have seen
is on the CPU IP board.
There are two pairs of NPN transistors, a pair of 2N5089
and a pair of 2N3904. I don't have an ideal, maybe an
amplifier? There is a load of PALs, GALs, and simple logic
chips all over this board. Difficult to figure out what
does what...
MASS/2 Features
(Maximum Availability and Support System/2)
Integrated software allowing monitoring, controlling,
tuning, and recovery of 295. Allows 295 to be
geographically distributed while permitting
comprehensive, centralized control with mainframe-like
remote administration. Features:
Failure recovery without human intervention (most cases).
Operation even when 295 powered down (RMP with battery).
Concurrent access by multiple users.
Access via console, across LAN (local), via modem
(remote).
Continual monitoring of CPU, memory, disk,
network, and swapping level utilization via real-time
bar graph, and 1 hour history in RMP RAM, and historic
logs on disk.
Continual monitoring of temp, PSU voltage,
single bit memory errors, network errors.
Configuration details: processors, memory, SCSI,
arrays, spares, RMP, UPS status, adapters
Alarm and threshold selection with automatic
dial out capability for events like disk failure, disk
full, reboots, shut downs, memory errors, over
temperature, power low/high, and network errors.
Scheduled power down and power up; remote rebooting.
SAA-compliant graphical user interface (hierarchical).
Access to network operating system logs and server logs.
Multilevel password based security; G File transfer capability.
Preinstalled on Server 295.
