■RAID 0 - no fault tolerance

■RAID 1 - mirroring

■RAID 4 - data guarding

Compaq Insight Manager

Compaq Insight Manager is an easy-to-use intuitive software 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

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.
