Server Management Features
1.11.1
Remote Diagnostic Management
The Remote Diagnostic Management
(RDM) is a network
management tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control
a host of servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the
server condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots
the server in the event of failure and quickly return it to normal
operation. This capability to execute the RDM program from a
remote site bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and
reduces wasted time due to system failure.
Refer to the RDM user’s manual for more information.
1.11.2
ASM Pro
The ASM Pro is a server management tool based on the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It detects server problems
related to the CPU thermal condition, 5V/3.3V detection, or PCI bus
utilization calculation.
This feature is designed primarily for server supervisors and
management information system (MIS) personnel to help them detect
errors or potential trouble spots in their network servers through a
single management station.
The ASM Pro consists of two major parts:
•
ASM-Station - a Windows-based monitoring station that
communicates with the ASM-Agents.
•
ASM-Agent(s) - the individual servers managed by the
ASM-Station.
Refer to the ASM Pro user’s manual for more information.
