ECC Memory Setup
The ECC Memory Setup allows for monitoring of ECC memory single-bit errors, and
can automatically "scrub," or correct, the ECC memory when errors are detected. Also,
a running count of single-bit errors can be kept, and can set a single-bit error
threshold that will cause a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) if the ECC single-bit error
threshold is exceeded. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use
by any system that has ECC memory.
Event Scheduler
Use Event Scheduler to automate many Netfinity Manager services. With Event
Scheduler, you can automatically gather and export System Information Tool, System
Profile, and Software Inventory data, distribute or delete files, restart systems, execute
commands, and access and manage System Partitions on all of the Netfinity Manager
systems on the network. Scheduled events can be performed one time only, or can be
performed according to a user-defined schedule.
File Transfer
Use the File Transfer service to easily send, receive, or delete files or entire directories
to and from remote Netfinity Manager systems on the network.
Power-On Error Detect
The Power-On Error Detect service can warn you immediately when a remote
Netfinity Manager system has start-up problems, enabling you to react quickly to
problems and minimize downtime.
Predictive Failure Analysis
The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) service enables continual monitoring and
managing of PFA-enabled hard disk drives. A PFA-enabled hard disk drive features
hardware designed to help detect drive problems and predict drive failures before
they occur, thus enabling you to avoid data loss and system downtime.
Process Manager
Use Process Manager to view detailed information about all processes that are
currently active on any system. It is also possible to stop or start processes and
generate Netfinity Manager alerts if a process starts, stops, or fails to start within a
specified amount of time after system startup.
RAID Manager
The RAID Manager service can monitor, manage, and configure an assortment of
Redundant Arrays of Independent Disk (RAID) adapters and arrays without
requiring the RAID system to be taken offline to perform maintenance. Use the RAID
Manager to gather data about the system RAID array and RAID adapter, rebuild
failing drives, add (or remove) logical drives, perform data integrity tests, and many
other RAID system tasks. This service is available for stand-alone use and network
use by any system that has a supported RAID adapter.
Remote Session
Use Remote Session to establish a fully active command session with any remote
Netfinity Manager system.
