Oracle Server X5-2 includes reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that
increase overall server uptime. Real-time monitoring of the health of the CPU, memory,
and I/O subsystems, coupled with off-lining capability of failed components, increases
the system availability. Building on the firmware-level problem detection, Oracle Linux
and Oracle Solaris have been enhanced to provide fault detection capabilities when
running on Oracle Server X5-2. In addition, exhaustive system diagnostics and
hardware-assisted error reporting and logging enable identification of failed components
for ease of service.
