Overview The Endurance server is a fully redundant, fault tolerant server that provides continuous computing and redundant I/O devices for your Windows server and its applications. You can monitor and manage your Endurance server using Endurance Manager, a GUI-based Endurance management application. Using Endurance Manager, you can: • View the status of an Endurance server and its components. This includes the CEs, IOPs, MICs, interconnects, and all redirected devices. • Issue commands to manage the Endurance server and its components, including enabling and disabling components. • Access statistics about the Endurance server, including Ethernet counters. • Determine the status of the Endurance server's mirrored disks, including the direction of any pending mirror copies, and if a mirror copy is in progress, the percentage of completion. • Access the Endurance Configuration Utility and Windows administration tools. Refer to Chapter 6 for information about the Endurance Configuration Utility. • Access the Endurance Events Utility. Refer to Chapter 7 for information about using the MTCCLOG tool to view Endurance events. • View certain Endurance messages that display as they occur in a window on the GUI. Messages displayed on the GUI pertain only to the monitoring of the Endurance server; messages related to changes in the state of the server do not display on the GUI. • Administer your Endurance server from a remote workstation using either a local area network connection or Microsoft's Remote Access Server (RAS). Note: You can also install the Endurance online manuals on a remote workstation. For detailed information about the Endurance Manager, refer to Chapter 4. Refer to Endurance Release Notes Release 4.0 for details about the versions of Windows that are supported by this release of the Endurance software. The requirements for copies of the Windows operating system follow. • Each CE requires a licensed copy of the Windows operating system. The CE operating system offers access to redirected I/O devices, including mirrored (redundant) disks. As a result, you need to use the CE operating system to run all server applications and to perform all Windows administrative tasks. 2-2 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide
