Universal Management Agent
Your computer supports IBM Universal Management Agent (UMA),
which consists of three main components:
Universal Management Agent—a common client management
agent based on LANDesk Client Manager and NetFinity Manager
services technologies. Tivoli-ready, UMA natively integrates into
other management applications (such as Microsoft's SMS and
Intel's LANDesk Management Suite) that will run on IBM
desktops, mobile systems and servers, as well as other
manufacturers' PCs. The UMA is a network-management
program controlled from the network administrator's console or a
peer workstation on the network. UMA provides the necessary
software to take advantage of the network-management features
built into the ThinkPad computer.
The UMA converts PFA alerts by SMART drives into useful
responses, such as E-mail messages, alphanumeric and numeric
pages, screen messages, automated backup routines, audio
messages, or the execution of some other program.
Netfinity Service—Using the Netfinity Service, the system
administrator does not need to stop his task to watch and control
the system, because it can be done remotely. When the
Netfinity Service runs in the background, the tasks running on
your system do not need to be halted. The network
administrator, at the same time, can monitor the network, so any
problems can be avoided before they become severe. The
remote workstation control function of Netfinity Service allows
help desk personnel to remotely connect to a user's system and
take control of the PC to diagnose and repair system problems.
Universal Management plug-ins—applications or solutions that
provide additional management capabilities throughout the life
cycle of networked system hardware with the goal of reducing
TCO.
