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.
