Predictive Failure Analysis The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) service enables continual monitoring and managing of PFA-enabled hard disk drives. A PFA-enabled hard disk drive features hardware designed to help detect drive problems and predict drive failures before they occur, thus enabling you to avoid data loss and system downtime. Process Manager Use Process Manager to view detailed information about all processes that are currently active on any system. It is also possible to stop or start processes and generate Netfinity Manager alerts if a process starts, stops, or fails to start within a specified amount of time after system startup. RAID Manager The RAID Manager service can monitor, manage, and configure an assortment of Redundant Arrays of Independent Disk (RAID) adapters and arrays without requiring the RAID system to be taken offline to perform maintenance. Use the RAID Manager to gather data about the system RAID array and RAID adapter, rebuild failing drives, add (or remove) logical drives, perform data integrity tests, and many other RAID system tasks. This service is available for both stand alone and network use by any system that has a supported RAID adapter. Remote Session Use Remote Session to establish a fully active command session with any remote Netfinity Manager system. Remote System Manager Use Remote System Manager to access and manage any Netfinity Manager service on any Netfinity Manager system in the network. The Netfinity Manager system on the network is organized into easy-to-manage logical groups that can be updated automatically using the auto-discovery feature. Remote Workstation Control Remote Workstation Control can monitor or control the screen display of a remote system that is running Netfinity Manager (or Client Services for Netfinity Manager). Once you initiate a Remote Workstation Control session with another Netfinity Manager system, you can passively monitor events that are occurring on the display of the remote system or actively control the remote system desktop. When you initiate an active Remote Workstation Control session, all mouse clicks and keystrokes entered on your system are automatically passed to the remote system. With Remote Workstation Control, you can remotely start programs, open and close windows, enter commands, and much more. Screen View The Screen View service takes a "snapshot" of the system graphic display or any remote system running Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager and displays it on the screen. These snapshots can be saved as bitmaps and viewed later. Chapter 10. Starting Netfinity Manager 61

Predictive Failure Analysis
The Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) service enables continual monitoring and
managing of PFA-enabled hard disk drives.
A PFA-enabled hard disk drive
features hardware designed to help detect drive problems and predict drive failures
before they occur, thus enabling you to avoid data loss and system downtime.
Process Manager
Use Process Manager to view detailed information about all processes that are
currently active on any system.
It is also possible to stop or start processes and
generate Netfinity Manager alerts if a process starts, stops, or fails to start within a
specified amount of time after system startup.
RAID Manager
The RAID Manager service can monitor, manage, and configure an assortment of
Redundant Arrays of Independent Disk (RAID) adapters and arrays without
requiring the RAID system to be taken offline to perform maintenance.
Use the
RAID Manager to gather data about the system RAID array and RAID adapter,
rebuild failing drives, add (or remove) logical drives, perform data integrity tests,
and many other RAID system tasks.
This service is available for both stand alone
and network use by any system that has a supported RAID adapter.
Remote Session
Use Remote Session to establish a fully active command session with any remote
Netfinity Manager system.
Remote System Manager
Use Remote System Manager to access and manage any Netfinity Manager
service on any Netfinity Manager system in the network.
The Netfinity Manager
system on the network is organized into easy-to-manage logical groups that can be
updated automatically using the auto-discovery feature.
Remote Workstation Control
Remote Workstation Control can monitor or control the screen display of a remote
system that is running Netfinity Manager (or Client Services for Netfinity Manager).
Once you initiate a Remote Workstation Control session with another Netfinity
Manager system, you can passively monitor events that are occurring on the
display of the remote system or actively control the remote system desktop.
When
you initiate an active Remote Workstation Control session, all mouse clicks and
keystrokes entered on your system are automatically passed to the remote system.
With Remote Workstation Control, you can remotely start programs, open and close
windows, enter commands, and much more.
Screen View
The Screen View service takes a “snapshot” of the system graphic display or any
remote system running Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager
and displays it on the screen.
These snapshots can be saved as bitmaps and
viewed later.
