• This document does not cover System Controllers (SCs) for Sun Fire[TM] 12K, 15K, E20K, E25K servers, which are SPARC technology based and run the Solaris Operating System. See Document 1538483.1 for information on Explorers and those platforms.

Available for this topic, a Video Tutorial; Brief how-to video tutorials that provide step-by-step instructions answering some of the most frequently asked questions. View the video answer and/or follow the detailed instructions below.

Running scextended or 1280extended Explorer on a Sun Fire system controller will collect information from the System Controller(s). The SC has access to the hardware level error and configuration information. The SC has a small amount of memory to store logs, the logs are lost if the SC is rebooted or power cycled.

A loghost needs to be setup as otherwise some failures are undiagnosable due to critical fault information being unavailable, see Document 1008676.1 'Best Practices' and configuring loghost on Sun Fire[TM] 3800,4800,4900,6800, and E6900 servers.
