Supported Devices

SPECTRUM management module SM-SUN1000 currently lets you model Sun workstations running the Sun Management Center Agent. There are three individual packages of the Sun Management Center:

• Basic Package

- Provides basic hardware management and

monitoring.

• Advanced Systems Monitoring

- Provides full kernel reader functionality,

Solaris health monitoring, file system monitoring, directory size monitoring, process monitoring, and log viewing. • Premier Management Applications

- Provides a web interface to the Sun

Management Center Agent, group operations, modules configuration propagation, a command line interface, import/export data functionality, and data view.

This management module supports all three packages. The views and information you will be able to see depend on which package they have installed on their system. With the Basic package

installed, you will be able to see the views labeled

“BASIC” in the Host System Health (Page 22)

section. If either the Advanced Systems Monitoring or the Premier Management

Applications packages are installed, you will be able to see the views labeled “ASM” in addition to those available in the Basic package.

Note:

The current version of SM-SUN1000 does not allow you to launch the Sun Management Center Console. It also currently supports only those devices that have the Sun Management Center Agent running. It is anticipated that later versions of SPECTRUM will support other Sun devices and agents as well as the ability to launch the console.

I n t r o d u c t i o n T h e S P E C T R U M M o d e l

The SPECTRUM Model

The model type for the Sun Management Center Agent devices is Host_Sun.

Modeling results in the creation of Device icons that represent the devices and Application icons that represent their supported applications. The Device icons contain double-click zones and provide access to Icon Subviews menus that let you perform device management activities such

as those listed in Tasks on Page 9.

As Figure 1 shows, the appearance of the Device icons varies slightly depending on the kind of view it appears in.

• health-monitor-mib.mib • kernel-reader-mib.mib • nfsmon-mib.mib

• nfsstat-mib.mib • print-spool-mib.mib • process-details-mib.mib • process-monitor.mib • trap-mib.mib

These MIBs can be used in conjunction with SPECTRUM’s optional customization products (referred to as the Level I Tool Kits) to create application models and views that display the condition of selected MIB objects.

(18)

Device-Specific Applications

SPECTRUM management module SM-SUN1000 currently does not support any device-specific applications.

Note:

Aprisma Management Technologies can provide training, technical assistance, and custom engineering support services for creating

application models and their associated views.

(19)

Performance Views

This section introduces the Performance view. For details concerning this view, refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates, % error, etc. A typical view

is shown in Figure 6. The instantaneous

condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You

determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from

Interface icons.
