Overview

Management Workstation Application (MWA) is an application used for remote
server management in a network environment. The managed server may be
remotely accessed from a management PC (the computer in which ESMPRO™
operates). MWA is a pre-boot management application in that the managed
server is accessed prior to loading the server operating system.
The following server operations are available from a management PC running
MWA software:
S
Remote console control - This function enables you to see the
screen of a server from the console of the management PC and to
key in data to the server from the keyboard of the management
PC
S
Remote drive access - This function enables a server to access
a floppy disk drive on the management PC. A server can also be
booted from the floppy disk on the management PC.
S
SOS recovery - If an SOS message is received from a server,
MWA receives the fault information and sends the necessary
instructions to the server for recovery.
S
Alert to ESMPRO™ - If MWA receives an alert message from a
server, it sends this message to ESMPRO™ AlertManager.
S
Power cycling - This function enables powering the server OFF
and ON.

retrieved by the management PC.
