Fault-Tolerant
Express Builder
While you can use standard Linux tools to perform many system administration tasks
on your ftServer systems, some tasks on fault-tolerant systems require specialized
supporting utilities. The
Express Builder
includes libraries and utilities to support
fault-tolerant
system administration tasks.
Chapter 7
discusses management tasks
and utilities to
manage fault-tolerant features and supporting applications of your
system. They
include the Express Service Network package that provides support
for Express

Corporation of America Customer Support Center or your authorized NEC
service
representative to provide remote support for your system. Your system comes
with
Express Service Network installed.
Network Management and Reporting
Express Builder
includes optional utilities to allow remote support of your ftServer system.
These
include an extensible network administration framework and a server-monitoring
utility
that provides notification services.
Chapter 8
discusses the configuration and use of
the optional ftlSNMP package implementing Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) for managing network objects. The ftlSNMP package is typically installed with
Express Builder
.
