5.3.2 The Client Services for Netfinity
Client Services for Netfinity Manager is the managed portion of the system. This
is a foundation that provides the underlying services for several levels of
administration, including remote system and user management facilities.
This component will be the one installed on managed end-user workstations
and/or on managed servers which itself are not able to manage other servers or
workstations.
Client Services for Netfinity Manager can be configured in three client modes of
operation:
• Stand-alone client
Stand-alone mode allows individual uses, who are not connected to a network,
to effectively manage or monitor their own systems, including hardware,
resources and performance. Only those base services and matching user
interfaces that work with the installed hardware and do not require a network
connected machine are installed.
• Passive client
The passive client cannot manage itself. Instead, Netfinity Manager on
another machine in the network must be used to manage this workstation or
server. This mode is most effective for network administrators who do not want
individual users or server consoles to have management capability. Only the
Alert Manager, serial control and Security Manager functions are available on
this machine.
• Active client
The active client can manage itself or it can be managed by other systems
with Netfinity Manager installed. Like the other clients, only the services and
network protocols required for this particular machine are installed. In
comparison to the passive client mode, the active client mode allows local
users to perform their own subset of local systems management tasks.
