Chapter 2 HP NetServer AA Overview Overview The server is a fully redundant, fault tolerant server that provides continuous computing and redundant I/O devices for your Windows NT server and its applications. You can monitor and manage your server using Endurance Manager, a GUI-based management application. Using Endurance Manager, you can: • View the status of a server and its components. This includes the CEs, IOPs, MICs, interconnects, and all redirected devices. • Issue commands to manage the server and its components, including enabling and disabling components. • Access statistics about the server, including Ethernet counters. • Determine the status of the 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 NT administration tools. • View certain messages that display as they occur in a window on the GUI. Messages displayed on the GUI pertain only to the monitoring of the server; messages related to changes in the state of the server do not display on the GUI. • Administer your 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 online manuals on a remote workstation. For detailed information about the Endurance Manager, refer to Chapter 4. A fully operational server uses four licensed copies of the Windows NT operating system. Refer to HP NetServer AA 6200 Solution Release Notes (Release 3.0 Service Pack 1) for details about the versions of Windows NT that are supported by this release of the software. The requirements for copies of the Windows NT operating system follow. • Each CE requires a separate licensed copy of the Windows NT 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 NT administrative tasks. • Each IOP requires a separate licensed copy of the Windows NT operating system that should be accessed only to perform maintenance procedures. 12
