Brief descriptions of each of the Netfinity Manager services follow. Complete
instructions on how to use each of these services can be found in the
service-specific chapters of the Netfinity Manager User's Guide.
Advanced System Management
The Advanced System Management service provides extensive functionality
available for your IBM PC Server Advanced System Management Adapter,
Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter, or Netfinity Advanced
System Management Processor. With the Advanced System Management service,
you can configure system management events (such as POST, loader, and operating
system timeouts or critical temperature, voltage, and tamper alerts). If any of these
events occurs, the Advanced System Management service can be configured to use
a modem or your Netfinity Manager system to automatically forward a Netfinity
alert to other Netfinity Manager systems or to a numeric or alphanumeric pager.
Alert Manager
The Alert Manager is an extendable facility that allows receiving and processing of
application-generated alerts. A variety of actions can be taken in response to alerts,
including logging alerts, notifying the user, forwarding the alert to another system,
executing a program, playing a WAV file (available only on multimedia systems),
generating an SNMP alert message, dialing out to a digital pager service (available
only on systems that have a modem), or taking an application-defined action.
Actions are user-definable, using a flexible action management interface.
Also, an extensive, detailed log is kept of all alerts received by the Alert Manager.
Logged information includes date and time the alert was received, type and
severity of the alert, the ID of the application that generated the alert, as well as
any text that was generated and any action taken by the Alert Manager. Individual
or multiple alerts can be selected from the log and printed for later reference, or
deleted once problems are corrected. This service is available for both stand-alone
and network use.
Alert on LAN configuration
Use the Alert on LAN configuration service to configure monitoring options of
Alert on LAN-capable systems locally and remotely. Systems with Alert on LAN
capability provide critical status information about system states. The data is
reported by hardware or software (depending upon whether the systems in
currently powered on or not) using TCP/IP.
Capacity Management
Capacity Management is an easy-to-use resource management and planning tool
for network managers and administrators, allowing remote performance
monitoring of every server on the network.
Cluster Manager
Cluster Manager is an application designed to enhance the cluster management
capabilities of the Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) administration console,
included with Microsoft Windows NT Version 4.0 Enterprise Edition. Cluster
Manager builds on the power of MSCS, providing an integrated graphical interface
