Universal Manageability Services

Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) is a Windows application that
functions as both a stand-alone management tool for the system it is installed on
and a client to IBM Director.

As a Director Client, it receives and sends information to the Director Server as
controlled from the IBM Director Console.

As a stand-alone tool, it provides a Web-browser based interface and a Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) interface, where you can view the system status,
perform certain management tasks and configure alerts.

The UM Services GUI enhances the local or remote administration, monitoring, and
maintenance of IBM systems. UM Services is a lightweight client that resides on
each managed computer system. With UM Services, you can use a Web browser
and UM Services Web console support to inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot IBM
systems on which UM Services is installed.

This “point-to-point” systems-management approach, in which you use a Web
browser to connect directly to a remote-client system, enables you to effectively
maintain IBM systems without requiring the installation of additional
systems-management software on your administrator console.

In addition to point-to-point systems-management support, UM Services also
includes support for UM Services Upward Integration Modules. These modules
enable systems-management professionals who use any supported
systems-management platform (including Tivoli Enterprise, CA Unicenter TNG
Framework, and Microsoft Systems Management Server [SMS]) to integrate
portions of UM Services into their systems-management console. Because it was
designed to use industry-standard information-gathering technologies and
messaging protocols, including Common Information Model (CIM), Desktop
Management Interface (DMI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
UM Services adds value to any of these supported workgroup or enterprise
systems-management platforms.

You can use UM Services to perform the following tasks:

v

View detailed information about your computers, including operating system,
memory, network cards, and hardware.

v

Track your computers with features such as power management, event log, and
system monitor capabilities.

v

Upwardly integrate with Tivoli Enterprise, Tivoli Netview, Computer Associates
Unicenter, Microsoft SMS, and Intel LANDesk Management Suite.

Complete documentation on how to use UM Services is included on the
Documentation CD-ROM that came with the appliance.

System requirements

The UM Services client is preinstalled on the NAS Gateway 300 appliance.
However, you must have a Web browser installed on your systems-management
console. It is recommended that you set Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x (or later) as
the default browser.
