Compaq Insight Manager XE
Compaq Insight Manager XE is a Web-based management system and is
located on the Compaq Management CD shipped with each ProLiant server. It
can be used in conjunction with Compaq Insight Manager agents as well as its
own Web-enabled agents. This browser-based utility provides increased
flexibility and efficiency for the administrator. It extends the functionality of
Compaq Insight Manager and works in conjunction with the Cluster Monitor
subsystem, providing a common data repository and control point for
enterprise servers and clusters, desktops, and other devices using either
SNMP- or DMI-based messaging.
Cluster Monitor
Cluster Monitor is a Web-based monitoring subsystem of Compaq Insight
Manager XE. With Cluster Monitor, you can view all clusters from a single
browser and configure monitor points and specific operational performance
thresholds that will alert you when these thresholds have been met or exceeded
on your application systems. Cluster Monitor relies heavily on the Compaq
Insight Manager agents for basic information about system health. It also has
custom agents that are designed specifically for monitoring cluster health.
Cluster Monitor provides access to the Compaq Insight Manager alarm,
device, and configuration information.
Cluster Monitor allows the administrator to view some or all of the clusters,
depending on administrative controls that are specified when clusters are
discovered by Compaq Insight Manager XE.
Compaq Intelligent Cluster Administrator
Compaq Intelligent Cluster Administrator extends Compaq Insight Manager
and Cluster Monitor by enabling Administrator to configure and manage
ProLiant clusters from a Web browser. With Compaq Intelligent Cluster
Administrator, you can copy, modify, and dynamically install a cluster
configuration on the same physical cluster or on any physical cluster anywhere
in the system, through the Web.
Compaq Intelligent Cluster Administrator checks for any cluster destabilizing
conditions, such as disk thresholds or application slowdowns, and reallocates
cluster resources to meet processing demands. This software also performs
dynamic allocation of cluster resources that may be failing without causing the
cluster to fail over.
