System Management Station (SMS)
The SysMan Station provides a graphical representation of the system and enables administrators to manage the system
from a personal computer. The SysMan Station is a Java tool that is fully integrated with HP TruCluster Server Version 5.0A
or later. SMS allows administrators to remotely manage systems from anywhere — PCs clients, UNIX workstations, or any
Alpha system.
Administrators can access the Tru64 UNIX System Management Home Page, System Management Menu, SysMan Station,
and the UniCensus Configuration reports easily from any browser using the dedicated 2301 HTTP port.
The Event Manager
Event Manager provides a centralized means of gathering, distributing, storing, and reviewing event information, regardless
of how the events are posted. Event Manager makes event information more accessible and provides a flexible and
adaptable event infrastructure. Event Manager's Application Programming Interface enables any third-party or customer-
developed applications to be customized to take advantage of this system data.
Monitoring and Tuning
Tru64 UNIX provides the following monitoring and tuning capabilities:
Kernel Tuner displays and changes parameters of the kernel subsystem.
Class Scheduler allows the administrator to prioritize jobs and tasks.
Process Tuner displays, monitors, and manages system processes. A number of sort and filter options are provided to
format the information display.
Environmental Monitoring monitors the thermal, fan, and redundant power supply of Alpha systems that have
prerequisite hardware sensor support. The functionality sets user-defined scripts, temperature levels, collection rate,
and shutdown grace period, and can start or stop the environmental monitoring state.
Collect is a lightweight, highly flexible performance collector. Collect can run continuously 7x24 and manage its own
logs. For more information, see the Collect reference page.
Insight Manager Agents
Tru64 UNIX provides Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) capabilities through integrating the Insight Manager™
Agents, insight_manager(5). Insight Manager enables Web-based device monitoring and fault management of local and
remote system hardware and software resources. Administrators can access features from any browser using the HP
dedicated 2301 HTTP port.
Insight Manager for Tru64 UNIX includes SNMP-based subagents and WBEM capabilities for presenting SNMP data
through any Web browser. The SNMP subagents supply a rich set of HP Enterprise MIBs which provide hardware
information, status, and statistics of CPU and memory boards, I/O devices, SCSI-based storage devices, Network Interface
Cards, and Environmental devices, such as temperature sensors, fans, and power supplies.
