Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is a system management tool delivering fault,
performance, and configuration management for Compaq servers and clients.
Insight Manager has Insight Manager software, which runs on the
management console, and Insight Manager agents (operating system-specific),
which run on the server or managed desktop client.
Compaq Insight Manager features an easy-to-use graphical interface and
includes online documentation and context-sensitive help. Key features
include forwarding server alert fault conditions, monitoring fault conditions
and server performance, controlling server security and configuration,
remotely controlling servers, and initiating rapid recovery services.
For information about Compaq Insight Manager, see the Server Setup and
Management pack shipped with your server.
Compaq Integrated Remote Console
When the Compaq ProLiant 6400R server is equipped with an optional
supported modem, you can perform a wide range of configuration tasks using
the Compaq Integrated Remote Console (IRC), a hardware-based remote
console solution for enhanced out-of-band remote server manageability. The
IRC operates the system-independent remote server reboot, reset and failure
sequence replay, and out-of-band communication.
The Compaq ProLiant 6400R server includes one ISA modem slot that can be
used for the IRC. The IRC requires a modem for out-of-band communications.
For information about the Integrated Remote Console, see the Compaq
Integrated Remote Console User Guide.
NOTE: An internal modem is required for the function if the primary serial port is used for
another purpose (Remote Server Recovery option).
Compaq Survey Utility
The Compaq Survey Utility is a serviceability tool available for Windows NT
and Novell NetWare that delivers online configuration capture and comparison
to maximize server availability. It is available on the Compaq Management
CD in the SmartStart package or on the Compaq website at www.compaq.com.
See the Compaq Management CD for information on installing and running
the Survey Utility.
