software. ServerWORKS Manager is a workgroup and server management
product for Digital’s family of servers. ServerWORKS Manager utilizes the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) environment to assist the
Network or Server administrator by constantly monitoring the network for
problems.
ServerWORKS Manager is based on an open architecture that enables
seamless integration and interoperability with popular enterprise management
software packages such as Digital’s POLYCENTER Manager/NetView, Hewlett-
Packard’s OpenView UX for Windows, and IBM’s Netview/6000 AIX. Also
included with ServerWORKS Manager are Network Operating System (NOS)
Agents for Windows NT V3.51 and 4.0, Novell NetWare™ V3.12 and V4.x, and
SCO UNIX V5.0. The OS/2 NOS includes its own agent and can also be
managed from ServerWORKS Manager.
ServerWORKS Manager allows the Network or Server Administrator to perform
the following functions on your server:
•
Manage Digital PC print, file, and application servers supported by
Prioris Intel servers using a Windows-based graphical user interface
(GUI) for point and click simplicity.
•
Display server component information that provides critical information
such as CPU and file system utilization and information about the
network interface.
•
Automatically builds a database of the network by Autodiscovering all
SNMP network resources and displays the nodes discovered during
Autodiscovery on a color-coded topological map.
•
Poll all network devices at intervals defined by the administrator.
2 ServerWORKS manager is standard with the Prioris XL 6000 and is an option with the Prioris XLe
6000 configuration.
