Introduction
For use with Intel Pentium II Xeon processor-based servers only
Disk Drive Fault Tolerance
Disk drive fault tolerance for Compaq servers is covered in more detail in the
Compaq
Server Online Reference Guide
on the Systems Reference Library
(SRL) CD. The following Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) types
are supported:
RAID 0 - no fault tolerance
RAID 1 - mirroring
RAID 4 - data guarding
RAID 5 - distributed data guarding
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manger is a comprehensive management tool to monitor and
control the operation of Compaq servers and clients. Compaq Insight Manager
consists of two components: a Windows-based console application, and server-
or-client-based management data collection agents. Starting with Compaq
Insight Manager 4.0, the agents for Windows NT and Netware are also web-
enabled; that is, these agents enable web browser access and monitoring of
management information.
The management agents monitor over 1,000 management paramenters. Key
subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance
data available to the agent software, The agents act upon that data, by initiating
information, such as netword interface or storage subsystem performance
statistics.
Key Features
Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI allows “in-band” network
connection for server management.
ProLiant Integrated Remote Console ensures customers are in touch
with their systems, even when they are off-line or without power.
Version Control and Integration Server Maintenance allows the
administrator to monitor and update versions of the server and
workstation firmware, drivers and utilities.
