Netfinity systems management solutions
Your IBM Netfinity server includes the Advanced System Management Processor.
This systems management subsystem monitors your Netfinity server and notifies you
when problems occur. It performs automated actions if specified thresholds are
reached and enables you to resolve system problems remotely (using a serial or
Advanced System Management Interconnect connection), even if the server is
powered down or the operating system has locked up.
Your server comes with the IBM Netfinity Manager™ program and Client Services for
Netfinity Manager version 5.2
Some versions of the ServerGuide package contain the IBM Netfinity Manager
software. For information about how to install applications that are included in the
ServerGuide package, see the ServerGuide information.
