IRISconsole
Managing a multiserver cluster using dumb terminals is cumbersome and provides only limited information. The IRISconsole(TM) multiserver management system replaces these terminals with a powerful, easy-to-use central control point which manages and monitors servers and logs their activity. IRISconsole performs intelligent actions based upon this information and also allows remote console access.
IRISconsole is comprised of the following components:
- Indy(TM)workstation (not included in the IRISconsole package)
- Serial Port Multiplexor
- Serial and SCSI cables
- Software to manage serial port connectivity
- Text-based interface to manage servers remotely
IRISconsole uses only one workstation to manage the activity of several servers. This saves floor space and provides an intelligent method for monitoring multiple systems. IRISconsole can monitor up to 16 servers, such as CHALLENGE® or POWER CHALLENGE(TM), and provides the user with the following information:
- Voltage level of the power supply
- Operating temperature
- Speed of the internal blowers
- Availability report of the servers
- System log
- Console activity by other users
- Hardware inventory of any machine
IRISconsole sets off audio and/or visual alarms if any data points are outside of established threshold values. It can also notify remote operators by e-mail or pager if an anomaly occurs and store a graph of the anomaly for later trouble-shooting. If Electronic Call Logging is installed as part of the service contract, IRISconsole will automatically start a program that facilitates notification of a service provider if an anomaly is detected.
