ESMPRO, hereafter referred to as ESMPRO, lets a system administrator
manage remote servers across a network. ESMPRO monitors server hardware
and software configurations, failures, and performance. With log data collected
by ESMPRO, a system administrator can track long-term and short-term
performance, monitor server usage, create graphs to record trends, and check
server failure rates. The administrator can use the information collected to create
more efficient data routing procedures and optimize server usage.
Functions And Features
ESMPRO offers many functions and features for managing remote servers
across a network. These features help the system administrator perform daily
system operation, system extension, and transfer tasks. Some features of
ESMPRO Manager include:
! Hardware and software server configuration
Hardware resources mounted in servers, such as the CPU, memory,
disks, disk arrays, and LAN boards.
Software resources, such as operating system information and drivers
running on each server.
! Server failures
On-screen real-time displays provide the system administrator with
the failure type, location, cause, and suggested corrective action.
Failure data includes hardware failure information such as system
board temperature, memory failure, crashes, and software failure
information.
! Performance
ESMPRO monitors server performance and displays server usage on
the screen and displays information, such as the rate of CPU load,
memory usage, disk usage, and LAN traffic. Usage threshold values
can help the system administrator monitor and prevent server
overloads.
! Maintenance functions (Express5800/ft Server)
ESMPRO provides several unique maintenance functions for the
Express5800/ft Server. These include switching system modules Off
and On and updating firmware in the Express5800/ft Server. Many
maintenance functions may be executed in the online state in which
the system continues normal operation. Express5800/ft Server is
described in Chapter 12 of this guide.
1-2 Introducing ESMPRO
Configuration
ESMPRO consists of a Manager program that runs on a Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 95 or Windows 98 and an Agent
program that runs on servers you want to manage.
! The Manager collects hardware, software, and firmware information from
Agents connected to the network. The Manager displays Agent
information, failures, and error logs on the screen.
! The Agent monitors server hardware, software, and firmware and
transmits the information over the network to the Manager using SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) or DMI (Desktop Management
Interface). The Agent lets you view system settings and reset some
ESMPRO thresholds locally.
Each managed server must have the Agent installed and running. Using SNMP,
the Agent sends data across the network to the Manager, which collects the
server information. The following figure shows a sample Manager/Agent
Configuration.
Using SNMP, ESMPRO Manager manages the running ESMPRO Agent on the
managed server on the network. Using DMI, it manages ESMPRO Agents
supporting DMI in addition to the other DMI Agents (such as Intel LANDesk
Client Manager).

Components
ESMPRO Management Suite is composed of the following applications, tools
and services:
Operation Window
This is the main application that starts when you run the Manager. From here,
you create network maps that reflect the abstract, logical structure or actual
physical location of the networks, sub-networks and servers they represent.
The Manager periodically polls servers in the network and displays them as
icons in the Operation Window. These servers can be servers running Agent
software, as well as servers, hubs, personal computers, and routers in the
network. The color of each icon reflects the status of the server.
Data Viewer
The Data Viewer extends your view down to the component level by displaying
detailed information on a server's hardware and software components.
Graph Viewer
From the Data Viewer, you can open a Graph Viewer that plots statistical and
performance data from the servers.
Alert Viewer
The Alert Viewer displays alert messages that originate in the servers.
MIB Browser
Use the MIB Browser to display, plot, or tabulate the values of data items
defined in the servers SNMP MIB.
Alert Manager
This application lets you determine how ESMPRO responds to alert messages
and Agent events, including whether additional alert messages should be
generated.
Manager Services
Though you do not deal directly with these services, they start automatically
when you start ESMPRO Manager and run in the background to implement
Manager functions.
Introducing ESMPRO 1-7
Services
ESMPRO Agent Services:
On a Windows NT system, Agent services can be stopped and started by the
Services icon in the Control Panel.

Detecting the Agents with AutoDiscovery
ESMPRO Manager detects servers in the network as well as other devices such
as routers and personal computers. When servers are found, the Manager
registers them as icons in the Operation Window.
This process of finding servers and registering them in the Operation Window is
called AutoDiscovery. After you install ESMPRO and start the Operation
Window for the first time, you will be asked to start AutoDiscovery.
The following topics will show you how to start AutoDiscovery for the first
time, how to start AutoDiscovery manually at any time, and how to set
AutoDiscovery to run in the background periodically.
Starting AutoDiscovery for the First Time
Initiate AutoDiscovery as follows:
1. Ensure that the SNMP service is running on the Agents.
2. Open the map where you want Agents registered automatically.
3. From the Tools Menu, select AutoDiscovery/Foreground. The
AutoDiscovery screen displays.
4. Select (a network) TCP/IP Hosts. The Address screen displays
Operations Window 2-11
5. Enter the network address and network mask for the network you want to
find. Also enter the value set for the Windows NT server to be detected in
the SNMP Community field. The default is public.
! If you are entering more than one SNMP community name, separate the
names with commas, as in public, xxx.
! If Class A (255.0.0.0) or Class B (255.255.0.0) is specified, the number
of addresses becomes enormous and the AutoDiscovery detection takes
a very long time. If the network in use is Class B, we recommend that
you modify the network address and network mask appropriately and
carry out a partial detection.
! If you want to access the details of AutoDiscovery, press the Details
button and check the following items.
Update properties. To update a server’s properties already set, check
this item.
Discover DMI Agent. To detect DMI agents, check this item.
Restrict the objects. To AutoDiscovery ESMPRO Agents only,
check this item.
Refer to on-line help for more details.
6. Press the Start button. AutoDiscovery is initiated.
7. When AutoDiscovery is finished, press Close. Any Agents detected will
appear on the map as icons.
Note: It is also possible to detect Agents periodically in
the background by specifying the SNMP community name
and the discovery interval in Aut oDis c o very/Background on
Tools Menu.
Starting AutoDiscovery Manually
To start AutoDiscovery manually:
1. Ensure that the SNMP service and SNMP trap service are running on the
Agents. SNMP trap service should not be running on the Manager.
2. Select an icon in the Tree View that represents a network. (In other words,
don’t select a server icon. Select the parent agent.) Agents detected in this
procedure will be placed below this parent icon and also in the Information
View.
3. In the Options Menu, make sure Enable Edit is checked.
4. From the Tools Menu, select AutoDiscovery/Foreground.
