System administration and control
The server has three server-management tools included to enable
administration and control of Windows NT environments. These tools are
Intel
®
Server Control (ISC), ManageX Event Manager, and the Direct Platform
Control (DPC) Console.
Intel Server Control (ISC)
Using a graphical user interface, ISC can locally or remotely provide real-time
monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors. ISC monitors and records
system status indicators such as temperature, voltage, cooling, chassis
intrusion, processor status, cooling fan status, and power supply status. You
can establish a threshold or range of accepted values for each of these
indicators and you can configure ISC to respond to variances in a number of
ways, from an entry in the event log, to a displayed message or audio alarm,
or even a complete server shutdown.
ISC also provides a system hardware inventory, SCSI controller status, LAN
adapter status, and BIOS and system slot information.
You can find additional information about Intel Server Control under
Documentation on the 7210 Companion CD which came with the system.
ManageX Event Manager
ManageX lets the system administrator manage multiple systems on a
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Novell Netware network from a single
window, and implement commands and policies across the network with a
single action. With this tool you can automate system management tasks,
which can be triggered by specific events or at specified thresholds.
You can find additional information about the ManageX Event Manager
under
Documentation on the 7210 Companion CD which came with the system.
