Integration in Tivoli NetView

Configuration and Operation

NetView determines the status of a device in the map by sending ICMP echo 
requests to the respective device. The status determined by this method only 
indicates the accessibility state of the device. To present the ServerView status 
described below, the Map application creates a ServerView component symbol 
in the submap of the server.

NetView determines the status of a correctly configured Fujitsu Siemens server 
from the status of all its component symbols (attribute 

 of the 

symbol equals 

), e.g., from the ServerView status and the status of 

all interfaces.

I

The ServerView status can be determined only if the server is accessible 
via SNMP. If it is not, the status of the ServerView component symbol is 
no longer updated. The server is then monitored by NetView's monitoring 
of the other components.

V

If the monitoring for the other components of a server by NetView is 
disabled, it is possible that a failure of that server may not be reflected by 
a status change of the corresponding symbol in the NetView map. This 
could occur, for example, if the submap of the server contains only the 
ServerView symbol and a symbol for the interface, and the user deletes 
the interface symbol or sets this interface component object to 

.

For Fujitsu Siemens servers with installed ServerView subagents, you can 
obtain more detailed information on the status of the device than just its avail-
ability status. For this reason, the 

 object from the INVENTORY-

MIB depicts the overall status of all ServerView agents on the relevant device. 
The status returned is always the most critical state among all the ServerView 
agents.

By monitoring these MIB variables, you can therefore determine the status of a 
device from the viewpoint of ServerView.
