Server Administrator provides a comprehensive, one-to-one systems
management solution in two ways: from an integrated, web browser-based
graphical user interface (GUI) and from a command line interface (CLI)
through the operating system. Server Administrator enables system
administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network.
It enables system administrators to focus on managing their entire
network by providing comprehensive one-to-one systems management.
In the context of Server Administrator, a system refers to a stand-alone
system, a system with attached network storage units in a separate
chassis, or a modular system consisting of one or more server modules
in a modular enclosure. Server Administrator provides information
about:
- Systems that are operating properly and systems that have problems
- Systems that require remote recovery operations
Server Administrator provides easy-to-use management and administration
of local and remote systems through a comprehensive set of integrated
management services. Server Administrator is the sole installation
on the system being managed and is accessible both locally and remotely
from the
Server Administrator home page. Remotely monitored
systems may be accessed through dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections.
Server Administrator ensures the security of its management connections
through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and secure
socket layer (SSL) encryption.
