COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

Disk drive fault tolerance for Compaq servers is covered in more detail in the
Compaq Server Online Reference Guide on the Systems Reference Library
(SRL) CD. The following Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) types
are supported:

■ 

RAID 0 - no fault tolerance

■ 

RAID 1 - mirroring

■ 

RAID 4 - data guarding

■ 

RAID 5 - distributed data guarding

Compaq Insight Manager is an easy-to-use utility for collecting server
information. This information is used by Insight Manager to perform the
following functions:

■ 

Sends fault condition alerts to a predetermined destination

■ 

Monitors fault conditions and server performance

■ 

Controls server security and configuration

■ 

Remotely controls servers

■ 

Initiates rapid recovery services

■ 

Web browser access for monitoring of management information

In Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system
memory, and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities.
Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they happen,
keeps the system up and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and delivers
rapid server recovery to normal operation after a fault. See Chapter 5, “Server
Configuration and Utilities,” for more information.
