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 the Expand Configuration and Management Manual. 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 replaces NSX and

provides graphical and tabular displays of system performance 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 multinode 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.

Measure

Measure is a tool for monitoring the performance of HP servers. In an Expand network,

Measure can help determine node-to-node activity and processor and line use by

Expand line-handler processes. Measure is described in the Measure User’s Guide.
