Detection of Server Fault
NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent detect errors causing faults to occur at an early stage and notify Administrators of fault information
Early detection of error
If a fault occurs, NEC ESMPRO Agent detects the fault and reports the occurrence of the fault to NEC ESMPRO Manager (alert report). NEC ESMPRO Manager displays the received alert in the alert viewer and also changes the status colors of the server and server component in which the fault occurs. This allows you to identify the fault at a glance. Further, checking the content of the fault and the countermeasures, you can take appropriate action for the fault as soon as possible.
Types of reported faults
The table below lists the typical faults reported by NEC ESMPRO Agent.
Component | Reported information | |
CPU | • | CPU load is over the threshold |
| • | CPU degrading, etc. |
Memory | ECC | |
Power supply | • | Voltage lowering |
| • | Power failure, etc. |
Temperature | Temperature increase in chassis, etc. | |
Fan | Fan failure (decrease in the number of revolutions), etc. | |
|
| |
Storage | File system usage rate, etc. | |
LAN | • | Line fault threshold over |
| • | Send retry or send abort threshold over, etc. |
Prevention of Server Fault
NEC ESMPRO Agent includes the preventive maintenance function forecasting the occurrence of a fault as countermeasures for preventing faults from occurring.
NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent can set the threshold for each source in the server. If the value of a source exceeds the threshold, NEC ESMPRO Agent reports the alert to NEC ESMPRO Manager.
The preventive maintenance function can be set for a variety of monitoring items including chassis temperature, and CPU usage rate.
