Compaq Insight Manager 7
Compaq Insight Manager 7 is the strategic direction for Compaq to provide systems
management and administration from the Web. Incorporated within Compaq Insight
Manager 7 is Cluster Monitor, a real-time cluster monitoring system for ProLiant
clusters using the Microsoft operating system with Microsoft Cluster software. The
combination of Compaq Insight Manager 7 and Cluster Monitor provides complete
systems and cluster monitoring and management.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 extends management beyond a single system to
management of multiple systems using a standard Web browser as the user interface.
By enabling browser access to both the managed device and the management
application, Compaq Insight Manager 7 provides management of devices and groups
of devices anywhere, anytime. Additionally, Compaq Insight Manager 7 provides
real-time management access to Web-enhanced devices and proxy management of
traditional SNMP and DMI V2 systems.
Compaq management agents provide health status to Compaq Insight Manager 7.
The agents interpret data supplied by the device drivers into useful information that
assists the user in correctly diagnosing the problem. Compaq Insight Manager 7 then
provides extensive help information on how to address the problem, shortening the
resolution time.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 offers a simple, industry-standard approach to
management for all managed devices. This provides a common data repository, a
consistent user interface, and the ability to correlate events providing intelligent
information about the infrastructure at the department or domain level.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 provides device status summary of all managed devices.
For Compaq systems this is a summary of the health status of all the subsystems. The
Compaq management agents provide real-time access to the details found in the
subsystem health status information.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 offers secure access to the management application and
Web-enhanced management agents. This enhances the security provided by
traditional SNMP agents. The management application and management agents
authorize the user to look at information, change information, and execute operations.
