CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview
1
This chapter gives an overview of the Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI).
1.1
RCI Features
The RCI is a device control interface used for connections of I/O units to an RCI host.
In this manual, a base cabinet and an I/O unit that support the RCI are referred to as an
RCI host and an RCI I/O unit (Note), respectively. Furthermore, RCI hosts and RCI
I/O units are generally referred to as RCI units.
Note:
RCI I/O unit might be described as RCI-IO unit.
While multiple RCI units consisting of an RCI host, another RCI host, and RCI I/O
units are connected through the RCI, the RCI controls power supply to all these RCI
units together and performs other controls on the RCI I/O units.
By using RCI cables to connect RCI units and RCI setting commands, the following
RCI functions can be used:
z Connecting and controlling RCI I/O units
z Asynchronous RCI monitoring (Note) of RCI hosts in a cluster environment
Note:
Asynchronous RCI monitoring is a function that immediately detects the
panic state in any of the nodes that compose a cluster. The asynchronous
monitoring enables the cluster to quickly recover from a failure in a
monitored node.
Note:
When the RCI network is used, adequate consideration of security is
necessary for LAN connections of domains.
C120-E360-06EN
1-1
CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview
• RCI redundancy (only for the high-end system)
The eXtended System Control Facility (XSCF) unit (Note) of the high-end system has
a redundant configuration (duplicated configuration), realizing a high-reliability
system. The redundant configuration of the XSCF unit can duplicate a network (RCI
network) created by connecting RCI units with RCI cables.
Note:
1.2
The XSCF has a system control facility that runs on a service processor
provided as standard in the base cabinet. A board with a preinstalled XSCF
control program (XSCF firmware) is an XSCF unit.
RCI Functions
This section describes the functions provided by the RCI.
• RCI network status monitoring
For stable operation of an RCI network, an RCI host constantly monitors the status of
the RCI network. Upon detection of a failure in the RCI network, the RCI host
collects a hardware log and reports the failure to the relevant domain.
• Control of power supply to RCI I/O units
When an RCI host is powered on or off, the RCI host powers on or off, respectively,
RCI I/O units synchronously. When at least one RCI host in an RCI network is
powered on, all RCI I/O units are powered on synchronously. When all RCI hosts are
powered off, all RCI I/O units are powered off synchronously.
• Interlocking mechanism for power supply to domains
When remote power control mode is set for a domain, the domain is powered on and
off in synchronization with other domains in the RCI network.
To set remote power control mode in a domain, execute the setpwrmode command in
the domain.
For details, see the Enhanced Support Facility User's Guide for Machine
Administration.
1-2
C120-E360-06EN
1.2 RCI Functions
• Facility control
Different kinds of facility control are available when the external power controller is
connected to the RCI. The external power controller can link with the customer's
existing facilities, power on each unit, recognize alarms of each unit, use the operator
call function through a contact interface, and perform other such operations. Use the
setrcic command at the setting of the facility control. For details on the facility
control, contact authorized service personnel.
• Power-on wait
The power-on wait function automatically powers on RCI I/O units before powering
on RCI hosts.
To use this function in a domain, execute the setpowerupdelay command in the
domain.
For details, see the XSCF Reference Manual.
• Asynchronous RCI monitoring
The following functions are available when the asynchronous RCI monitoring
function is enabled for a cluster:
z Mutual monitoring for detection of abnormalities in RCI hosts (asynchronous
monitoring)
In addition to performing periodic monitoring by INTERCONNECT, this function
detects abnormalities such as the panic state in an RCI host.
z Reliable stopping of an abnormal RCI host
This function stops, without fail, an abnormal RCI host without terminating a
hang-up, slowdown, or generated panic.
z Switch control
This function controls line selector switching or other switching in the event that
an RCI host fails.

RCI Connection Scheme

RCI cables are connected in sequence to respective units using T-branch connectors.
RCI terminating resistors must be connected to the T-branch connectors at both ends
of a set of RCI connections.
Up to 32 RCIs including the RCI main unit can be connected.
Note that the maximum RCI cable length is 150 meters.
Use the repeater function of the external power controller to extend the cable length
used and to increase the number of connected RCI units.
Note:
1-4
The external power controller is included in the number of RCI units.

The cluster connection requirements, such as the maximum cable length and the
number of connectable RCI I/O units, are the same as the basic configuration
requirements.
Note:
The repeater function of the external power controller cannot be used to
increase the number of RCI base cabinets.
• Duplicated configuration

RCI hosts can be constructed in a duplicated configuration only if their XSCF units
are in a redundant configuration (duplicated configuration).
Note:
C120-E360-06EN
Do not connect an expansion XSCF unit to an RCI network connected to a
base XSCF unit.

CHAPTER 1 RCI Overview
Figure 1.4 shows a connection pattern that connects both duplicated and unduplicated
configurations.

The pattern can contain RCI I/O units and RCI hosts that do not support a duplicated
configuration.
Connect them to the duplicate system. Connect RCI hosts that do not support a
duplicated configuration to the #0 system.
If an RCI host that does not support a duplicated configuration were already
connected, RCI I/O units would be connected to the #0 system.
Note:
When an RCI host of the duplicated configuration is connected with RCI
hosts or RCI I/O units that do not support a duplicated configuration, it may
fail to control the RCI host or the RCI I/O unit on the #0 system in the
following case:
z When an XSCFU#0 failure generated an XSCF failover and the Active
XSCF Unit switched to XSCFU#1.
In this case, maintenance work of XSCFU#0 becomes necessary.

initconfig
C120-E360-06EN
Displays the status of the RCI network.
Initializes the RCI setting. Initialization is only performed for the host
that executes the command. If there are other hosts connecting to the
RCI, initialization must be performed for each host.
Sets an RCI address. Use this specification when the RCI setting has been
initialized. After the setting, "-c initconfig" or "-c addconfig" must be
executed.
Makes the RCI setting on the first host. An RCI I/O unit connected via
RCI is searched for and found, and then an RCI address is assigned.

CHAPTER 3 Command Reference
addconfig
replaceconfig
ledoff
idpin
Adds an RCI I/O unit or host.
When an RCI I/O unit is added, the RCI I/O unit newly connected to RCI
is searched for and found, and then an RCI address is assigned.
When a host is added, it is also added to the RCI network. "-c set" must
be executed beforehand on the added host to set the RCI address for the
host.
Replaces an RCI I/O unit or host.
When an RCI I/O unit is replaced, the specified RCI address is assigned
to the substitute RCI I/O unit.
When a host is replaced, a substitute host is added to the RCI network
after the information of the host to be replaced is deleted from the RCI
network. "-c set" must be executed beforehand on the substitute host to
set the RCI address for the host. An RCI address cannot be specified
when replacing a host.
Stops the blinking CHECK LED of an RCI I/O unit. This specification is
used such as when the work for identifying an RCI I/O unit is completed.
Displays the RCI address of the RCI I/O unit whose ID-PIN has been
pressed. This specification is used when checking the RCI address
of an RCI I/O unit.
