Network Management
Network Management
Network management involves several tasks, including
•
Monitoring, modifying, and controlling the network
•
Resolving network problems
•
Analyzing and tuning network performance
The Expand subsystem supports a variety of network-management utilities and tools to
help you perform these tasks:
•
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
•
Event Management Service (EMS)
•
Availability Statistics and Performance (ASAP)
•
Measure
•
Compaq TSM Package
•
OSM Interface
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
SCF is a Distributed Systems Management (DSM) interface that can be used
interactively to control, configure, and monitor the Expand subsystem. The SCF
interfaces to the Expand and wide area network (WAN) subsystems are used to
configure and manage the Expand subsystem. The SCF interface to the Expand
subsystem is described in Section 15, Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Commands.
The SCF interface to the WAN subsystem is described in the WAN Subsystem
Configuration and Management Manual.
Event Management Service (EMS)
EMS is a DSM interface that provides event collection, logging, and distribution
facilities. Both the Expand and ServerNet adapter subsystems report events to EMS.
Event messages are described in the Operator Messages Manual.
Availability Statistics and Performance (ASAP)
The Availability Statistics and Performance (ASAP) monitoring tool provides graphical
and tabular displays of system and network object performance, object state, and
entity threshold information. The Availability Statistics and Performance Extension
(ASAPX) product integrates and extends ASAP monitoring capabilities to single and
multi-node application environments. For more information about ASAP, refer to the
following manuals: ASAP Client Manual, ASAP Server Manual, ASAP Extension
Manual, and ASAP Migration Guide for NSX and OMF Users.
Note. Refer to Part III of this manual, Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), for information on
managing Expand using SCF.
