LAN NETVIEW MANAGE AND ENABLER:
The LAN NetView platform, which includes LAN NetView Manage and LAN
NetView Enabler, serves as the base for systems management applications
and offers a consistent user interface, improved automation functions,
and enhanced integration among products.
The LAN NetView Manage, when combined with Novell's NSM 1.5, provides
administrators with a comprehensive set of tools and services to
efficiently manage NetWare and LAN Server, as well as OS/2 and its
subsystems, including Communications Manager/2 and Database Manager/2.
The LAN NetView family of products also includes several applications,
including LAN NetView Monitor and LAN NetView Tie. Monitor and Tie,
now available for Beta, are IBM applications written to the X-OPEN
Management (XMP) interface of LAN NetView Manage.
LAN NETVIEW MONITOR:
LAN NetView Monitor enables performance management of OS/2 2.X systems
through the use of policies that define resources to be collected,
collection schedules, thresholds and data transfer times. Managed
resources include critical OS/2 2.X and IBM LAN Server and Requester 3.0
resources, all of which may be selected on a per-metric basis.
Threshold monitoring allows 'management by exception' through alarm
notification and associated actions. Multiple policies can be active
at a managed system simultaneously, meaning that multiple managing
systems can be monitoring the same remote system. Collected data is
summarized into an OS/2 SQL database on the managing system, from which
resource, alarm and policy reports can be generated. Realtime graphing
is supported, as well as graphing from the database, and resources from
multiple nodes can be displayed on the same graph. A command line
interface to managing system function is provided for remote unattended
operation, and threshold alarms can be converted to NetView alerts
through registration with the LAN NetView Tie product.
LAN NETVIEW TIE:
LAN NetView Tie improves centralized control of LAN environments by
providing a means for sending CMIP notifications to NetView in a manner
that NetView can understand. A NetView operator can issue commands
(through both the NetView and OS/2 command line interfaces), to register
to receive specific alarm and non-alarm notifications from resources
managed by the LAN NetView environment. When the alarms that have been
registered occur, Tie reports them to NetView by converting the OSI
Alarms to SNA Alerts and sending them to NetView via IBM OS/2
Communications Manager.
