Introduction Features
Server Management
Server Management is implemented using theServerView software supplied
combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from
Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or
overload at an early stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network
via a central console. The following key functions and others are supported by
ServerView:
● Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status
● High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by
HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)
● Remote storage via USB
● Remote power on (Wake On LAN)
● Automatic switch-off when the housing is opened (Housing monitoring)
● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
● Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
● Power monitoring
● End-of-life monitoring of fans with prompt notification before failure
● Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information about ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation (see “Literature” on page 77).
