Administrator Guide

20 Managing Your NAS System
Server Administrator Home Page
The Server Administrator home page provides a web browser-based system
management from the managed node or from a remote host through a LAN,
dial-up service, or wireless network. When the NAS system is installed and
configured on the managed node, you can perform remote management
functions from any system that has a supported web browser and connection.
Additionally, the Server Administrator home page provides extensive,
context-sensitive online help.
Instrumentation Service
The Instrumentation Service provides rapid access to detailed fault and
performance information gathered by industry-standard systems
management agents. It also allows remote administration of monitored
systems, including shutdown, startup, and security.
Remote Access Service
The Remote Access Service provides a complete remote system management
solution for systems equipped with remote access controllers. For more
information on the Remote Access Service, see the documentation for Dell
Remote Access Controllers at support.dell.com/manuals.
Storage Management Service
The Storage Management Service provides storage management information
in an integrated graphical view. The Storage Management Service enables you
to view the status of local storage attached to a monitored system using
PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC). Virtual Disks (generally
called LUNs) can also be created using this service.
Logs
Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system,
monitored hardware events, POST events, and system alerts. You can view
logs on the home page, print, or save them as reports, and send them by e-
mail to a designated service contact.
