Management Applications

Monitoring Server and Network Hardware

Compaq Insight Manager is used to manage the hardware components of your

cluster. Compaq Insight Manager, loaded from the Compaq Management CD,

is an easy-to-use software utility for collecting server, storage, and network

information. Compaq Insight Manager performs the following functions:

■ Monitors fault conditions and system status

■ Monitors shared storage and interconnect adapters

■ Forwards server alert fault conditions

■ Remotely controls servers

In Compaq servers, each hardware subsystem, such as network adapters,

system processors, and system memory, has a robust set of management

capabilities. Compaq Full Spectrum Fault Management notifies of impending

fault conditions.

Several steps are required to configure the system for Insight Manager. For

example, you must:

■ Load Insight agents on each cluster node.

■ Install the Compaq Insight Manager Console.

■ Make sure that proper user rights are granted.

For additional information concerning Compaq Insight Manager, see the

Compaq Server Setup and Management pack.

Compaq Insight Manager XE is a web-based management system that can also

be used to monitor cluster hardware components. Compaq Insight

Manager XE is an optional CD available upon request from the Compaq

System Management website at
