redundant power supplies.

Performance Monitor

. .
. .
. .
The Performance Monitor (PerfMon) utility allows you to monitor the behavior of a specific
. .
hardware or software component of a Windows NT workstation or server using performance
. .
. .
counters. When you investigate the performance of a component, you are likely to use many of the
. .
counters in the performance object associated with the component. A thorough investigation
. .
. .
typically requires that you monitor counters from several different performance objects.
. .
. .
PerfMon allows you to track variations in the use of system components over time, monitor
. .
. .
systems remotely, and measure operating system and application performance. Inherent to
. .
Windows NT, it provides a means of adding counters for software and hardware monitoring
. .
. .
without the trouble of writing all the code needed to monitor performance and usage of application
. .
and system components. The focus of this paper is to monitor the power supply performance
. .
. .
counters provided by Compaq to determine power consumption and redundancy in a Compaq
. .
ProLiant 6000 server.
. .
. .
For PerfMon usage instructions, please refer to the Windows NT Resource Guide and/or the
. .
. .
Windows NT Performance Monitor Help file

Compaq Insight Manager

. .
. .
Compaq Insight Manager is a comprehensive management tool used to monitor and control the
. .
. .
operation of Compaq servers and clients. Insight Agents make health, configuration, and
. .
performance data available for key subsystems. Working in conjunction with hardware and
. .
. .
firmware, Insight Manager provides the ability to observe information concerning the power
. .
supply status. Insight Agents determine whether all power supplies are functional, report power
. .
. .
supply failures, and discern if power supplies are redundant.
