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.
Remote System Manager
Use Remote System Manager to access and manage any Netfinity Manager service
on any Netfinity Manager system in the network. The Netfinity Manager system
on the network is organized into easy-to-manage logical groups that can be
updated automatically using the auto-discovery feature.
