4.6 NetFinity Services for NetWare
NetFinity Services for NetWare allows you to monitor and manage NetWare servers remotely. With the NetFinity programs running on the server, the administrator can anticipate and correct many problems before they become serious enough to affect the server. NetFinity Services for NetWare will also enhance other hardware systems management tasks, including hardware inventory and resource allocation.
NetFinity Services for NetWare does not include a user interface for use at the server console. Because NetWare is designed to be most effective when used in a client/server environment, monitoring and maintenance of the NetWare server must be performed remotely from a NetFinity Manager system.
