Table 9 SCF Object States (continued)
ExplanationSubstateState
The object is inaccessible to user
processes.
INACCESSIBLE
The backup input/output (I/O) process
was asked to take over for the primary
PREMATURE-TAKEOVER
I/O process before it had the proper
information.
The input/output (I/O) process could
not obtain a necessary resource.
RESOURCE-UNAVAILABLE
The input/output (I/O) process is down
for an unknown reason.
UNKNOWN-REASON
The object is in transition to the
STOPPED state. No new links are
STOPPING
allowed to or from the object. Existing
links are in the process of being
deleted.
The flow of information to and from the
object is restricted. (It is typically
SUSPENDED
prevented.) A subsystem must clearly
distinguish between the type of
information that is allowed to flow in
the SUSPENDED state and that which
normally flows in the STARTED or
STOPPED state. In the SUSPENDED
state, the object must complete any
outstanding work defined by the
subsystem.
The object is in transition to the
SUSPENDED state. The subsystem must
SUSPENDING
clearly define the nature of the
restrictions that this state imposes on its
objects.
The object’s state cannot be determined
because the object is inaccessible.

Using Onboard Administrator
The Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware
base used to support the c7000 enclosure and the NonStop server blade enclosures in it. To launch
the OA from the OSM Service Connection, right-click an enclosure object, select Actions, and
perform the Launch OA URL action. The OA provides additional information on the enclosure, such
as details on fans and power supplies in the enclosure.
Redundant OA modules in the c7000 enclosure manage the power and cooling of that enclosure,
any other c7000 enclosures in the NonStop BladeSystem, and the NonStop server blades in the
c7000 enclosures. The OA software is integrated with OSM and iLO (Intergrated Lights Out) via
Single Sign-On (SSO). Only one instance of the OA operates at a time, but switchover is automatic
if one fails. For more information about using the OA, see to the Onboard Administrator User
Guide.
Automating Routine System Monitoring Procedures
You can automate many of the system monitoring procedures. Automation saves you time and
helps you to perform many routine tasks more efficiently.
