Clusterized Compaq Management Agents
Compaq Management Agents running on a SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop
Clusters system support the same client-server interface as a single-server
SCO UnixWare 7 system. The client-server interface for Compaq Insight
Manager is SNMP-based, which allows ProLiant servers and clusters to be
managed by other network management client software.
The clusterized Compaq Management agents are installed during the Quick
Install. Each node has its own set of clusterized agents. The agents on a
specific node are associated with the primary physical IP address of that node
and allow access to information regarding that node.
On the Compaq Management CD that comes with ProLiant servers, the
clusterized agents are part of Compaq Management Agents and Tools for
Servers for SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Cluster.
NOTE:
The clusterized agents are accessible only through the primary physical IP address
for each node, not the CVIP for the cluster.
Compaq Insight Manager XE Support
Compaq Management Agent software runs on ProLiant cluster servers and
interacts with the Compaq Insight Manager XE management server using
SNMP and hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) messaging. Compaq Insight
Manager XE gives system administrators control through a visual interface,
comprehensive fault and configuration management, and remote management.
Administrators can access detailed information about the cluster nodes through
a Microsoft Windows NT server. A browser is used to monitor and manage the
ProLiant Cluster for SCO UnixWare 7.
Compaq Insight Manager XE Overview
Compaq Insight Manager XE simplifies systems management by reducing risk
and increasing availability with a robust set of tools for event management,
device management, version control, and cluster management. Compaq Insight
Manager XE provides server management capabilities that consolidate and
integrate management data from Compaq and third-party devices using
SNMP, Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and HTTP protocols. Compaq
Insight Manager XE provides a single monitoring point for a cluster.
The same Compaq Management Agents used by Compaq Insight Manager are
used with Compaq Insight Manager XE. Compaq Insight Manager XE allows
you to manage new Compaq and third-party devices without upgrading the
management application.
