Installing PeerMaster LAN Software
Now, you can monitor the functions of your PeerMaster adapter
from your NetFinity console.
Monitoring your PeerMaster Adapter
The PeerMaster adapter programs expand the capability of the
NetFinity Services installed on your server. This section describes
these services. For information about the basic operation of
NetFinity, refer to the documentation that came with it.
The Remote System Manager on your NetFinity Manager system
allows you to monitor the configuration and operation of remote
systems that have been discovered by NetFinity. If your PeerMaster
server has not been discovered by NetFinity, perform the following
steps:
1. From the Remote System Manager screen, select Add Group.
2. Select Discover System.
After communication with your PeerMaster server is established,
an icon (graphic symbol) will appear for your new server.
3. Double-click on the icon for your server.
After adding the System Manager, you can use all the services on
your PeerMaster adapter.
To display hardware configuration information about the
PeerMaster adapter installed in your server:
1. Select System Information.
2. Select Adapter Information.
The first time you use this feature, you will be prompted to insert
the PeerMaster Option Diskette into the diskette drive of the
NetFinity management system. NetFinity will copy the adapter
configuration (ADF) file for the PeerMaster adapter onto the local
hard disk for future reference.
