Using NetFinity with Your PeerMaster Adapter
IBM NetFinity Services is a complete network system-management
environment that combines monitoring and management features
with intuitive graphical user interfaces. The monitoring services
built into NetFinity enable LAN administrators to gather critical
server, LAN, and PeerMaster adapter information from the
NetFinity Manager system.
NetFinity provides the following services:
System Monitor
Charts and monitors the activity for a variety of server
resources, including microprocessor, disks, and memory. Alerts
can be sent to the Alert Manager when user-defined thresholds
are exceeded. The following operational parameters of
PeerMaster adapters and attached LAN segments are
continually monitored and can be viewed over time as line
graphs, as instantaneous real-time monitors, or as text monitors.
– LAN utilization
Displays the utilization of attached LAN segments in
kilobytes-per-second (KBps) or packets-per-second (pps).
– LAN switch statistics
Displays the number of packets that the switching function
forwarded to a specified port for transmission onto its
segment. They also show the number of packets that were
received by a port from its segment.
– Peer switch statistics
Displays the number of packets that the switching function
sent to, or received from, other PeerMaster adapters across
the system bus.
