•
System Profile
Allows the systems administrator to define additional information for each
system, such as location
•
System Monitor
Provides system performance monitoring utilities, such as CPU, DASD, and
Memory
•
Critical File Monitor
Can generate alerts when critical files are changed or deleted
•
System Partition Access
Allows an administrator to access the system partition on remote PS/2s
•
Predictive Failure Analysis
Monitors PFA-enabled drives for errors
•
ServerGuard Service
Can monitor server environmentals such as temperature and voltage and
can remotely boot the system (requires the ServerGuard Adapter)
•
RAID Manager
Allows the administrator to view the array configuration
•
ECC Configuration
Allows the administrator to set thresholds for ECC scrubbing, counting, and
NMIs
•
Security Manager
Controls which NetFinity Services each manager can access for a given
system
•
Alert Manager
Fully customizable alert generation, logging, and forwarding, and also has
the ability to filter and forward SNMP alerts
•
Serial Control Service
Supports an ASYNC connection between two NetFinity systems, either
managers or clients
Note
The NetFinity Services installation is an intelligent process. It only installs
the services for the configuration of your machine. Hence, you will only see
icons for the services which are available to you. For example, on non-array
machines, the RAID utility icon will not be present. It also allows you to
update and add new services at a later date without reinstalling the base
product.
NetFinity Services supports both IBM and non-IBM systems. It supports PCI,
Micro-Channel, and EISA bus-based systems. It supports most client operating
systems including DOS/Windows, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 2.X, OS/2 Warp,
OS/2 Warp Connect, and OS/2 SMP.
