desktop computers will become easier, and desktop computers will become
easier to manage in a network.
5.3.5.5 ECC Memory Setup
The ECC Memory Setup allows for monitoring of ECC memory single-bit errors,
and can automatically
scrub, or correct, the ECC memory when errors are
detected. Also, you can keep a running count of single-bit errors, and can set a
single-bit error threshold that will cause a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) if the
ECC single-bit error threshold is exceeded.
This service is available for both stand-alone and network use by any system that
has ECC memory.
5.3.5.6 Event Scheduler
You can use Event Scheduler to automate many Netfinity Manager services. With
Event Scheduler, you can automatically gather and export System Information
Tool, System Profile, and Software Inventory data, distribute or delete files,
restart systems, execute commands, and access and manage system partitions
on all of the Netfinity Manager systems on your network. Scheduled events can
be performed one time only, or can be performed according to a user-defined
schedule.
A new feature in Netfinity Manager 5.01 or higher is the ability to perform a
scheduled RAID Data Scrubbing (also know as synchronization). The Event
Scheduler is treated as a remote service in Netfinity Manager so requires a valid
incoming user ID and password.
5.3.5.7 File Transfer
You can use the File Transfer service to easily send to, receive from, or delete
files or directories on remote Netfinity Manager systems in your network.
5.3.5.8 Power-On Error Detect
The Power-On Error Detect service is only available on Micro Channel machines.
It will install a shriek system on the system partition, which will broadcast any
POST alert. This alert will be received by all Netfinity Managers.
5.3.5.9 Predictive Failure Analysis
The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) service enables you to continually monitor
and manage PFA-enabled hard disk drives. A PFA-enabled hard disk drive
features hardware designed to help detect drive problems and predict drive
failures before they occur, thus enabling you to avoid data loss and system
downtime.
In addition to the PFA hard disk drives, Netfinity Manager for OS/2 and Windows
NT both support hard disk drives that conform to the self-monitoring analysis and
reporting technology (SMART) standard. SMART stands for self-monitoring
analysis and reporting technology and is the successor to the PFA technology
that was pioneered by IBM. The PFA technology subsequently became the
