export is available on Windows NT systems only). Finally, Netfinity Manager
enables some services to be started at scheduled times and dates for simplified,
automated systems management.
Netfinity Manager also provides two powerful features that enable you to access
the Netfinity Manager system and all Netfinity Manager systems in the managing
system network from a system that is not attached to the managing system
network:
v
Serial Connection Control
Use the Serial Connection Control service to use a Netfinity Manager system
modem to establish a connection with any Netfinity Manager system that has a
modem. Once this connection is established, the Netfinity Manager has full
access to Netfinity Manager services, just as though the remote system were part
of the managing system network.
v
Netfinity Manager for Web
Netfinity Manager for Web enables access and remote control of the Netfinity
Manager system over the Internet, using any system that has an Internet
connection and a World Wide Web (WWW) browser. With the Netfinity Manager
for Web, the Netfinity Manager systems can be accessed and managed from
anywhere in the world.
Managing your IBM Netfinity server with Netfinity Manager
The copy of Netfinity Manager that is included with ServerGuide entitles you to
one Netfinity Manager installation. You are also entitled to additional installations
of Client Services for Netfinity Manager. To use Netfinity Manager to monitor and
manage this Netfinity server, install Netfinity Manager on a system in your
network that you will use as a system-management console, and then install Client
Services for Netfinity Manager on your Netfinity server. You can also install
additional copies of Client Services for Netfinity Manager on other systems in your
network. Furthermore, additional Netfinity Manager and Client Services for
Netfinity Manager licenses are available for purchase from your IBM
representative.
