Zusammenfassung: | A processor resetting apparatus comprises a fibre channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) interface arranged to receive a frame over the FC-AL containing an indicator of a reset command for a server comprising one of a redundant pair of servers and including a processor associated with the resetting apparatus. The apparatus further comprises a reset component, responsive to the reset command, to issue a reset command for resetting the processor. The apparatus therefore provides the ability for a server to reset another server if it detects that the server is faulty. |
