NetWare 6
In-depth information of Intel processor architecture is beyond the scope of this document.
Intel has recently introduced a relatively new technology called
Xeon based family of processors. This technology exploits a program's instruction and
thread-level parallelism in order to maximize overall system throughput. The ProLiant
ML570 G2 server supports this technology. For more information on Intel's hyper-threading
technology, visit: www.intel.com/technology/hyperthread/.
HP servers typically ship with one or more chipsets from several vendors such as Intel,
ServerWorks, etc. The goal of this section is to create a performance awareness to guide
the IT professional or the administrator during the decision / selection process when
buying a server.
In NetWare 6, use the Monitor, NetWare Remote Manager (NRM), and the SET
Parameter utility tools to gauge the status of the processor subsystem performance. These
utilities provide clues as to whether there is a processor subsystem bottleneck in your
system.
You can use the NRM tool to monitor the trend statistics of any subsystem element that is of
interest. For example, to use the NRM to monitor the trend statistics of the processor, follow
these steps:
1. Invoke the NRM, and then select View Statistics listed under the Manage Server
category to display the following screen.
Note: For detailed instructions on how to invoke the NRM, refer to the NetWare
Remote Manager section of this document.
