Managing the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 5-15 Compaq Insight Manager Compaq Insight Manager is the Compaq console-based application for easily managing network devices. This application delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of networked systems. Compaq Insight Manager, as a console-based monitor and management tool, provides sophisticated hardware element management and monitoring for Compaq ProLiant Clusters. It also contains a launch vehicle for MSCS Cluster Administration "Cluadmin." Compaq Insight Manager and Cluadmin provide a console-based service that can be addressed either directly on the ProLiant Cluster or through a LAN-attached console service. From the Compaq Insight Manager and Cluadmin console, the administrator can monitor the ProLiant Cluster and perform cluster administration functions such as starting and stopping an MSCS service, starting or stopping an MSCS node, and starting or stopping the MSCS cluster. Compaq Insight Manager consists of two components: a Windows-based console application and server- or client-based management data collection agents. Management agents monitor more than 1,000 management parameters. Key subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data by initiating alarms in the event of faults and by providing updated management information, such as network interface or storage subsystem performance statistics. With Compaq Insight Manager, you have real control over your systems, with monitoring and alerting capabilities for the critical systems in your distributed enterprise. Compaq Insight Manager is designed to be a key component in the systems management environment. The strength of Compaq Insight Manager lies in its ability to give systems administrators real control through its visual interface, comprehensive fault and configuration management, and industry-leading remote management. Compaq Insight Manager provides access to Compaq Insight Manager alarm, device, and configuration information through the use of industry-standard web browsers. NOTE: Compaq Insight Manager XE extends the functionality of Compaq Insight Manager and enables cluster monitoring through the Web. It is available in the HA/F200 cluster kit and is an option for the HA/F100. A detailed description of Compaq Insight Manager XE follows the description of Compaq Insight Manager.
