System Information Tool
The System Information Tool enables quick and convenient access to detailed
information on the hardware and software configurations of the system. System
Information Tool gathers information about almost any computer; however, the most
detail is provided when this service is used with IBM computers. This service is
available for both stand-alone and network use.
System Monitor
The System Monitor provides a convenient method of charting and monitoring the
activity of a number of components in a system, including processor usage, disk space
used, and ECC memory errors. These convenient monitors are detachable and
scalable, enabling only the monitors needed to remain available at all times. Use the
System Monitor Threshold Manager to set threshold levels for any of the monitored
components. When exceeded, these thresholds will generate user-configured alerts.
Data is continually collected from the time the system starts. A sophisticated data-
handling technique is used to weigh the individual values, average concurrent
samples, and post single values that accurately reflect long-term system activity. This
technique allows system activity records to be maintained without creating enormous
data files. This service is available for both stand-alone and network use.
System Partition Access
The System Partition Access allows for greatly simplified system partition file
handling, both locally and remotely. Individual files and entire directories can be
renamed or deleted from the system partition. Individual files can be renamed,
deleted, or copied into the system partition. Also, the entire partition can be backed-
up, restored, or deleted. This service is available for stand-alone use and network use
by any system that has a System Partition.
System Profile
The System Profile provides a convenient notebook of pertinent data about a
particular user or system. It features many predefined fields for extensive user-
specific data, including name, address, office number and location, and phone
number. System Profile also includes many predefined fields for system-specific data
that might not be available to the System Information Tool, including model and serial
numbers and date of purchase. Finally, there are many user-definable miscellaneous
fields that can be used to hold any data the user or administrator requires.
Update Connector Manager
Use Update Connector Manager to quickly and easily gather information about
various updates that are available for your client systems. Once available updates are
discovered, use Update Connector Manager to apply updates to your systems
remotely. Updates can be applied to individual systems, or you can apply multiple
updates to multiple systems, all from Netfinity Manager. You can also use Update
Connector Manager to remove previously applied updates. Update Connector
Manager also includes a scheduler that you can use to discover, apply, or remove
updates automatically and periodically.
Web Manager Configuration
Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access to the Netfinity Manager
for Web to user-specified TCP/IP host or ranges of TCP/IP host addresses. Enable or
disable the Netfinity Manager for Web and specify the TCP/IP port number to which
