3. Click the problem node and check the MTBF: Current value in the details pane. If
it is less than the MTBF: Threshold value, that node has failed and the system
removes it from service. For example:
MTBF: Time of Last Fault May 30, 2001 15:07:24
MTBF: Threshold 300 seconds
MTBF: Number of Faults 2
MTBF: Current 220 second
Locating Components
ftSMC displays device IDs and device paths for system components that it monitors.
Components that have a dual-initiated bus have dual device paths. Component
location diagrams show the device IDs of major elements, enclosures, and internal
disks.
Two commands assist you in locating select system components:
• Start Slot Identification. Causes the LEDs on the component to flash so that you
can physically locate it.
• Stop Slot Identification. Stops the LEDs on the component from flashing after you
have physically located it.
Disk slots on CPU-I⁄ O enclosure slots, PCI adapter slots, and modems support these
slot identification commands.
Device IDs and Device Paths
Hardware components in the system inventory are organized hierarchically. Level 1
components (for example, CPU elements and I/O elements, represented by the
CPU Enclosure nodes and I/O Enclosure nodes, respectively) have Level 2 child
components, such as DIMMs and processors, which may have Level 3 and Level 4
components. For example, I/O enclosures (elements), which are Level 1, have storage
enclosures (Level 2), which have slots (Level 3), which have disks (Level 4).
Hardware devices in the system inventory have device ID numbers. For example, the
device ID of the I/O element in Figure 5-2 is 11. Figure 5-2 illustrates the following
hierarchically presented components and their device IDs:
