Chapter 5. Using Netfinity Manager
Netfinity Manager provides powerful hardware systems-management capabilities,
including access to all systems on the network that are running Netfinity Manager or
Client Services for Netfinity Manager. In addition to all standard Client Services for
Netfinity Manager functions, Netfinity Manager also features directory transfers and
file, remote screen captures, and remote command-line sessions. Netfinity Manager
also enables you to export data collected by System Information Tool, System Profile,
Software Inventory, and System Monitor to a DB2, Lotus Notes, or SQL or DB2 via an
open database connectivity (ODBC) database (ODBC export is available on Windows
NT systems only). Finally, Netfinity Manager enables you to start services at
scheduled times and dates for simplified, automated systems management.
Netfinity Manager also provides two powerful features that enable you to access the
Netfinity Manager system and all Netfinity Manager systems from a system that is
not attached to the managing system network:
•
Serial Connection Control
Use the Serial Connection Control service to use a Netfinity Manager system
modem to establish a connection with any Netfinity Manager system that has a
modem. Once this connection is established, the Netfinity Manager has full
access to Netfinity Manager services, just as though the remote system were part
of the managing system network.
•
Netfinity Manager for Web
Netfinity Manager for Web enables access and remote control of the Netfinity
Manager system over the Internet, using any system that has an Internet
connection and a World Wide Web (WWW) browser. With the Netfinity
Manager for Web, you can access your Netfinity Manager systems from
anywhere in the world.
Managing your IBM Netfinity server with Netfinity Manager
A Netfinity Manager systems management environment consists of two parts:
•
A systems management console running Netfinity Manager. The systems
management console is the system from which administrative tasks are
performed.
•
Client systems running Client Services for Netfinity Manager. Client Services for
Netfinity Manager runs on all client systems in your network and enables
Netfinity Manager to remotely monitor, inventory, manage, and troubleshoot
the systems on which it is installed.
Once you have installed Netfinity Manager and Client Services for Netfinity Manager
on the appropriate systems you are ready to use Netfinity Manager to remotely
inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot the client systems in your network.
The copy of Netfinity Manager that is included with ServerGuide entitles you to one
Netfinity Manager installation. You are also entitled to additional installations of
Client Services for Netfinity Manager, which can be installed on other systems in your
network. Furthermore, additional Netfinity Manager and Client Services for Netfinity
Manager licenses are available for purchase from your IBM representative.
If you plan to use your IBM Netfinity 6000R server as a systems management console,
install Netfinity Manager on your server and then install Client Services for Netfinity
