SAP R/3’s System Management 131
for any of the monitored components. When exceeded, these thresholds will
generate user-configured alerts.
Data is continually collected from the time the system starts. A sophisticated
data-handling technique is used to weigh the individual values, average
concurrent samples, and post single values that accurately reflect long-term
system activity. This technique allows you to maintain system activity records
without creating enormous data files. This service is available for both
stand-alone and network use.
In Netfinity Manager, extra monitors are included to monitor operating system or
hardware specific features.
For example the following extra monitors are available:
• NDIS packets transmitted
• NDIS bytes transmitted
• NDIS packets received
• NDIS packets transmitted
• Ring utilization
• Every server with ASMA card temperatures and voltages
• IBM Netfinity 7000 temperatures and voltages with standard ASMA card
• IBM Netfinity 7000 temperatures and voltages over on-board INCA
management chip
• PC Server 720 temperatures and voltages over particular on-board
management chip and sensors
The open architecture of Netfinity Manager, also allows other manufacturers to
include their own specific monitors. Examples of these are UPS systems from
APC, where voltage monitors are available. Another examples are Lotus Domino
monitors.
5.3.5.24 System Partition Access
The System Partition Access is only available on Micro Channel systems which
have a system partition. It allows you to back up and restore system partitions,
and to manage files located on the system partition (diagnostic files and adapter
definition files).
5.3.5.25 System Profile
The System Profile service enables you to record system specific information that
is not directly related to the hardware or software. It provides a convenient
notebook of pertinent data about a particular user or system. It features many
predefined fields for extensive user-specific data, including name, address, office
number and location, and phone number. System Profile also includes many
predefined fields for system-specific data that might not be available to System
Information Tool, including model and serial numbers and date of purchase.
Finally, there are many user-definable "miscellaneous" fields that can be used to
hold any data the user or administrator requires.
5.3.5.26 Web Manager Configuration
Netfinity Manager can be accessed through the Internet or an Intranet via a
Netfinity Manager with the Web Manager enabled. Once enabled, you can use
