Delaying Netfinity Manager Startup On Os/2 Systems - IBM xSeries 230 6RY Hardware Maintenance Manual

Table of Contents

most detail is provided when this service is used with IBM computers. This service

is available for both stand-alone and network use.

System Monitor

The System Monitor provides a convenient method of charting and monitoring the

activity of a number of components in a system, including processor usage, disk

space used, and ECC memory errors. These convenient monitors are detachable

and scalable, enabling only the monitors needed to remain available at all times.

Use the System Monitor Threshold Manager to set threshold levels for any of the

monitored components. When exceeded, these thresholds will generate

user-configured alerts.

Data is continually collected from the time the system starts. A sophisticated

data-handling technique is used to weigh the individual values, average concurrent

samples, and post single values that accurately reflect long-term system activity.

This technique allows system activity records to be maintained without creating

enormous data files. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use.

System Partition Access

The System Partition Access allows for greatly simplified system partition file

handling, both locally and remotely. Individual files and entire directories can be

renamed or deleted from the system partition. Individual files can be renamed,

deleted, or copied into the system partition. Also, the entire partition can be

backed-up, restored, or deleted. This service is available for stand-alone use and

network use by any system that has a System Partition.

System Profile

The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of pertinent data about a

particular user or system. It features many predefined fields for extensive

user-specific data, including name, address, office number and location, and phone

number. System Profile also includes many predefined fields for system-specific

data that might not be available to the System Information Tool, including model

and serial numbers and date of purchase. Finally, there are many user-definable

miscellaneous fields that can be used to hold any data the user or administrator

requires.

Update Connector Manager

Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather information about

various updates that are available for your client systems. Once available updates

are discovered, use Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your systems

remotely. Updates can be applied to individual systems, or you can apply multiple

updates to multiple systems, all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update

Connector Manager to remove previously applied updates. Update Connector

Manager also includes a scheduler that you can use to discover, apply, or remove

updates automatically and periodically.

Web Manager Configuration

Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access to the Netfinity

Manager for Web to user-specified TCP/IP host or ranges of TCP/IP host

addresses. Enable or disable the Netfinity Manager for Web and specify the

TCP/IP port number to which the Netfinity Manager Web server functions.
