Netfinity Server Management



Netfinity Server Management

This second edition redbook describes how to use the management hardware and software that is shipped with IBM Netfinity servers. In particular, it covers Netfinity Manager Version 5.2, the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter, the Advanced Systems Management Adapter and the management hardware that is integrated into Netfinity servers.

The book explains each of the functions of Netfinity Manager as they apply to server management and goes into great detail on sending and receiving alerts from local and remote systems. We explain how to integrate a UPS into your management environment and how to use the event scheduler. We examine the security ramifications of implementing remote access to your systems through Netfinity Manager.

The redbook also examines the Advanced System Management devices that are available for Netfinity systems. We describe the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter , the integrated Advanced System Management Processor and the Advanced Systems Management ISA Adapter. We show how to configure them to send alerts and to let you dial into the servers to perform remote diagnostics and recovery. We also describe the new RS-485 interconnect function which lets you connect through this serial link, to send and receive alerts and to allow the sharing of modems and LAN connections among servers.

For each of our currently available server systems, we describe the system status indicators and management functions. We also explain how to install the Advanced Systems Management Adapter.

Sample scenarios are provided to give the reader a deeper understanding of the process involved in configuring the software and hardware and show what the products can do in combination. We describe how to perform specific tasks explaining each step of the process in detail.

This redbook will help you to tailor and configure Netfinity Manager and the Advanced System Management devices in IBM''s servers and will show you how to best use them to maximize your investment in IBM technology.
