web-based software to monitor and manage the performance and operating
conditions of HP NetServer E Series.
Any or all of the following Support Anywhere features can be used to manage
your NetServer(s) in a networking environment. Support Anywhere management
tools include the following:
•
Auto Alert provides prompt notification of server operations
•
Support Anywhere Web takes you directly to a NetServer's web page for
detailed information about NetServer operations
•
Remote Console Options allow a system administrator, support
technician, or dealer to monitor, and, when necessary, take remote control
of the server in order to maintain, configure, or otherwise manage a server's
operations
NOTE
For detailed information about how you and/or your dealer can
enable and use HP Support Anywhere, including its remote
access features, consult the HP Support Anywhere Installation

Using Auto Alert

Auto Alert is a service that monitors the operating environment of HP NetServers
and generates notifications and alarms based on factory-defined error thresholds.
The changes are identified by SNMP alarm agents which, during installation, are
installed on all participating HP NetServers.
