Chapter1 Overview
1.2.2 High Reliability Tools
High reliability tools are a comprehensively useful set of software for stable system operations of the
server. The following tools have respective roles to manage normal operations or recovery from errors.
• Server Monitoring Tools
• System Diagnosis Support Tool
• LAN Driver Advanced Setup Tool
Server Monitoring Tools
The server monitoring tools monitor the hardware status on behalf of the administrator and notify him/
her in the event of an error.
zDetecting a Server Failure Early [ServerView]
ServerView is software that monitors whether the server hardware is in a normal state to protect
important server resources. When using ServerView, the server hardware is monitored all the time. If an
error that could cause trouble is detected, the administrator is notified in real-time. This allows the server
administrator to remove a system error early and avoid trouble.
zDetecting a Disk Failure Early [RAID Management Tool]
RAID Management Tool is software that performs array configurations, disk initialization and storage
system monitoring. When an event occurs, it leaves an event log in the event viewer's application logs.
At the same time, a pop-up window indicates a hard disk failure, rebuild status, etc.
System Diagnosis Support Tool
The system diagnosis support tool is for supporting system diagnosis during normal operation or in the
event of trouble.
zSolving Problems Early [DSNAP]
DSNAP is a command line utility that collects all the failure investigation information. System file
configuration information, major registry settings, and event logs can be collected easily from the
command line.
DSNAP is used to allow maintenance personnel to understand your system software configuration and
settings correctly and ensure smooth investigations when a problem occurs in your Windows Server
2003/Windows 2000 Server system. Pass the information along with memory dumps to your
maintenance personnel.
LAN Driver Advanced Setup Tool
LAN Driver Advanced Setup Tool sets details on the LAN, including the use of the Teaming function
and VLAN configuration.
zIntel®PROSet
Intel®PROSet is a tool for setting details on the LAN card when it is used with another LAN card or the
onboard LAN for using the Teaming function or when it is used for configuring a VLAN.
