The IBM NetView For AIX Family
In addition to the NetView for AIX management platform, a family
of products that helps users do everything from managing hubs and
routers to tracking problems and managing an inventory of
networked devices is available. NetView for AIX has also been
ported to the Sun platform; it supports OSF/Motif and complies
with OSF/DME and the X/Open XMP API. These products are
complemented by more than 200 third-party applications,
management information bases (MIBs), and services that will snap
into the NetView for AIX platform.
Highlights of IBM's NetView for AIX family include tools to:
- Manage a TCP/IP Environment. In a Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) environment, NetView for AIX
helps users to discover networked nodes, graphically map them,
and then dynamically display status information.
- Manage Distributed LANs and UNIX Systems. Systems Monitor for
AIX extends the power of NetView for AIX providing local polling,
thresholding, and filtering to reduce the load on network and
management workstations.
- Manage Problems and Inventory. Trouble Ticket for AIX
simplifies problem management, allowing a network administrator
to assign action plans and track the status of incidents through
the resolution process.
- Manage IPX and NetBIOS Clients and Servers. LAN Management
Utilities (LMU for AIX ) for AIX lets customers retrieve valuable
information from IBM LAN and Novell servers, as well as OS/2,
DOS, DOS/Windows, and Apple Macintosh clients on LANs with the
LMU installed, then maps the LANs and controls the devices. LAN
Network Manager for AIX lets users manage LAN media by working
with IBM LAN Network Manager installed on an OS/2 system on
Intel-based LANs.
- Manage an SNA Network. SNA Manager for AIX has the command,
automation, and security functions of NetView, while adding the
graphics and integrated tools of NetView for AIX to integrate
Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and TCP/IP resources.
