Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is the Compaq console-based application for easily
managing network devices. This application delivers intelligent monitoring
and alerting as well as visual control of networked systems.
Compaq Insight Manager, as a console-based monitor and management tool,
provides sophisticated hardware element management and monitoring for
Compaq ProLiant Clusters. It also contains a launch vehicle for Cluster
Administration. Compaq Insight Manager and Cluster Administrator provide a
console-based service that can be addressed either directly on the ProLiant
Cluster or through a LAN-attached console service. From the Compaq Insight
Manager and Cluster Administrator console, the administrator can monitor the
ProLiant Cluster and perform cluster administration functions such as starting
and stopping a cluster service, starting or stopping a cluster node, and starting
or stopping the cluster.
Compaq Insight Manager consists of two components: a Windows-based
console application and server- or client-based management data collection
agents. Management agents monitor more than 1,000 management parameters.
Key subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and
performance data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data
by initiating alarms in the event of faults and by providing updated
management information, such as network interface or storage subsystem
performance statistics. With Compaq Insight Manager, you have real control
over your systems, with monitoring and alerting capabilities for the critical
systems in your distributed enterprise.
Compaq Insight Manager is designed to be a key component in the systems
management environment. The strength of Compaq Insight Manager lies in its
ability to give systems administrators real control through its visual interface,
comprehensive fault and configuration management, and industry-leading
remote management.
Compaq Insight Manager provides access to Compaq Insight Manager alarm,
device, and configuration information through the use of industry-standard
Web browsers.
NOTE:
Compaq Insight Manager XE extends the functionality of Compaq Insight Manager
and enables cluster monitoring through the Web. It is available in the HA/F200 cluster kit
and is an option for the HA/F100. A detailed description of Compaq Insight Manager XE
follows the description of Compaq Insight Manager.
