Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (also known as AppliedMicro, AMCC or APM) was a fabless semiconductor company designing network and embeddedPower ISA (including a Power ISA license), and server processor ARM (including an ARMv8-A license), optical transport and storage products.
History[edit]
In 2004, AMCC bought assets, IP and engineers concerning the PowerPC 400microprocessors from IBM for $227 million and they now market the processors under their own name. The deal also included access to IBM's SoC design methodology and advanced CMOSprocess technology.
In 2009, AppliedMicro changed their branding from AMCC to AppliedMicro, but still retain the name 'Applied Micro Circuits Corporation' officially.
In 2011, AppliedMicro became the first company to implement the ARMv8-A architecture with its X-Gene Platform. In November 2012 at ARM TechCon, AppliedMicro demonstrated advanced web search capabilities and the ability to handle big data workloads in an Apache Hadoop software environment with the X-Gene Platform using FPGA emulation. A silicon implementation of X-Gene was first exhibited publicly in June 2013.[3]
In April 2016, information about the forthcoming X-Gene 3 server chips was made available. The release schedule was for the second half of 2017. The company projected an improved performance, over the X-Gene 2, that with allow it to better compete with servers using the x86-64 architecture.[4]
In November 2016, MACOM Technology Solutions announced that they would purchase AppliedMicro.[5] The acquisition was completed on January 26, 2017.[6] MACOM then sold the processor division to the private equity firm The Carlyle Group during October 2017.
Memberships[edit]
AppliedMicro has a sponsor level membership of Power.org and is one of the original members.AppliedMicro is also executive member (Chairman position) of the Ethernet Alliance.AppliedMicro is also a member of the Open Compute Project.
Business groups[edit]
Processor products[edit]
The Processor Products group designed and marketed embedded microcontrollers as well as server processor, packet and storage processors. It included the network processors of former MMC Networks (acquired October 2000) with IBM PowerPC 4xx series microcontrollers (acquired April 2004).
Since purchasing the IBM PowerPC 400 family (under the 405 and 440 series product names), AppliedMicro developed the 460 series with 440 CPU, and a multicore Power architecture devices.
In January 2008, the AppliedMicro PowerPC 405EX was awarded Product of the Year 2007, by Electronic Product magazine.
In October 2011, AppliedMicro announced its X-Gene Platform, an ARM 64-bit solution aimed at cloud and enterprise servers.
Connectivity products group[edit]
The Connectivity Products group of AppliedMicro designs, manufacturers and markets physical layer devices, framers/mappers and switch fabric devices.
Acquisitions[edit]
Throughout the years, AppliedMicro has acquired smaller companies to enter new markets.

Class-action lawsuit[edit]
In 2005, the company paid $60 million to settle a class-action lawsuit on behalf of investors against the company and certain of its current and former officers and directors.[8] The suit had charged the company with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the company's operations and prospects for Q4 2001 and beyond.[9] Under the terms of the settlement, the company and defendants denied any wrongdoing. About half of the amount of the settlement was covered by insurance.[8]

Managing 3ware Raid Cards
To enter the 3ware command line interface, type tw_cli. Enter ? or help to view help. For more information about the 3ware CLI, see the man page.
First we need some info on our setup:
Getting info on setup |
Here we see that we have one controller 0 with two drives. Let's get more info on controller 0.
Getting info on controller 0 |
On a degraded array you'll see something like this: If the array is rebuilding it will show the rebuild status. |

Now we can see the RAID at unit 0 is degraded. Let's find out which disk is giving us a problem.
Finding out which disk is degraded |
Ok, port 1 is the disk that needs our attention.
Rebuild The RAID
First we need to remove the drive. This is like unmounting a filesystem so that we can work on it.
Removing the drive |
Now let's have the software rescan the drives.

Rescaning the drives |
At this point, we need to see if the rescan picked the drive back up. If the port is N/A this is likey a bad drive and isn't responding. You'll need to replace the drive.
Checking if the rescan picked the drive back up |
If the drives show up then rebuild the array.
Rebuilding the drive |
To check the status, just give it the info option
Checking the status |
Since it's rebuilding as it's running, this could take a really long time. Should this fail, the drive will need to be replaced.
Managing Adaptec Raid Cards
To identify the problem drive:
- get current tasks (rebuild, etc)
/usr/StorMan/arcconf getstatus 1
- get current logical device
/usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1 ld
- look at physical devices
/usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1 pd
- look at dead drives
/usr/StorMan/arcconf getlogs 1 dead tabular
- look at devices with problems
/usr/StorMan/arcconf getlogs 1 device tabular
3ware Scsi Card
When the drive has been replaced you should be able to see it by looking at the logical device again.

To identify the problem drive:
- Gather information:
MegaCli64 -LDInfo -Lall -aALL
MegaCli64 -PDList -a0
MegaCli64 -CfgDsply -aALL
MegaCli64 -AdpGetProp AlarmDsply -aAll
MegaCli64 -LDCC -ShowProg -L0 -a0 -Nolog
MegaCli64 -FwTermLog -Dsply -a0
Locate a physical drive. The enclosure ID is provided by the -PDList command.
- To Clear Terminal Log
MegaCli64 -FwTermLog -Clear -aN
- Check battery status
MegaCli64 -AdpBbuCmd -aAll
- To find enclosure IDs:
MegaCli64 -EncInfo -aN
- To view a particular physical drive:
MegaCli64 -pdinfo -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
- To replace a drive:
MegaCli64 -PDOffline -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
MegaCli64 -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
MegaCli64 -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
- ** swap the drive **
MegaCli64 -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
MegaCli64 -CfgDsply -aALL
and the number N of the row parameter is the Physical Disk in that span which you are replacing, not the slot number. S is the slot number of the NEW disk.For example: to replace physical disk 0 in span 1 using disk ID 25 you would use the following command.

To rebuild a drive that has a 'foreign' configuration:
- Mark the drive as good
- Clear the foreign setting
- Set global hot spare - drive should start rebuilding after this
- Stop consistency check:
MegaCli64 -LDCC -Abort -L0 -a0 -Nolog
- Silence Alarm Beeps
MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp -AlarmSilence -aN
- Show Rebuild Status
watch -n 10 /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDRbld -ShowProg PhysDrv [32:0] -a0

If the 'megarc' executable isn't installed on the server, you can install it with:
3ware Scsi Error
Display logical drive info |
get a listing of the drives and the status on them
lets get a listing of what drives are on the controller.
Get the serial numbers for the drives.
you can get a report of whats happened with the failed drive with this command (if there is anything to report)
You can try to turn the drive on in a failed state by issuing this command.x=the channel normally 0y=the id of the physical drive
you can also turn the drive off
show the status of a rebuilding drive that has been replaced
change the rebuild rate of the drive if you would like (its not recommended going over 40% going anything over 90% will render the disk unuseable for anything other then rebuiding rendering a not accessible system, I did this!)
Let's rebuild the array. This says do rebuild on adapter 0 (-a0) doing a rebuildarray on channel 0 disk 2 [0:2] (You can leave off -ShowProg if you don't want to monitor the rebuild progress)
Silence (not disable!) the raid alarm:
