to:
■ Diagnose and address potential problems such as capacity problems or
bottlenecks
■ Display physical and logical views of your exact server configuration
■ Monitor your server remotely from any location in the network
■ Isolate potential problems or failed components
Sun Management Center software is supported on the Sun Fire 280R server. To
