HP NetServer disk subsystems are completely integrated with Hewlett-Packard server
management software, allowing you to monitor and manage disks on local and remote
servers. For example, if you have installed HP TopTools for Servers, then software agents
automatically monitor the server system and provide the following server mass storage
alerts to the system operator:
Disk capacity threshold alert and usage tracking
SCSI controller and device failure notification (co-developed with Adaptec

)
Predictive failure analysis that warns of probable disk problem(s)
HP SureStore tape backup devices support the “TapeAlert” feature that makes backups
more manageable. TapeAlert functions as a continuous monitor that informs backup
applications of possible erroneous conditions that could be developing in any backup
device. Further, it specifies the appropriate course of action to the backup administrator.
Thereby, TapeAlert helps to assure that all backups are completed successfully.
