Monitoring of NovaScale/ft Server series
NovaScale/ft Server series is a fault tolerant system. It can continue the operation even if a major component fails.
NovaScale/ft Server series improves the system availability with the hardware, ESMPRO, and system software
functions.
If a major component fails, the ESMPRO fault report function can notify the system Administrator of the occurrence of
the fault. In addition, the data viewer of ESMPRO Manager can monitor the system status and also identify the failed
component.
ESMPRO provides several maintenance functions such as the update of firmware and BIOS in the NovaScale/ft Server
series in the online state (in which the system continues the operation but the components used to update firmware or
BIOS is suspended) and the suspension of a specific component.
The table below lists the NovaScale/ft Server series management tasks using ESMPRO and system functions.

* When the administration manager is also the managed NovaScale/ft Server series (or ESMPRO Manager is installed
on the managed NovaScale/ft Server series), all functions of the administration manager can be used on the
managed NovaScale/ft Server series.
The report of a fault occurrence in the NovaScale/ft Server series (alert) is immediately sent to the ESMPRO Manager.
When the ESMPRO Manager receives the alert, a popup message appears.
The alert contains the detailed information of the fault and the proper countermeasures. You can take the appropriate
action for the alert.
