EMS Hardware Monitors: Benefits

Hardware monitoring provides the following benefits:

• Reduces system downtime by detecting and reporting hardware failures when they occur, allowing you to quickly identify and correct problems.
• Integrates into MC/ServiceGuard and other applications responsible for maintaining system availability. These applications can now add many hardware resources to the components they monitor.
• Minimizes the time required to isolate and repair failures through detailed messages describing what the problem is and how to fix it.
• Includes a default monitoring configuration that offers immediate protection for your system hardware without any intervention on your part after monitors are installed.
• Provides a common tool for monitoring a wide variety of system hardware resources.
• Offers a variety of notification methods to alert you when a problem occurs. No longer do you need to check the system console to determine if something has gone wrong.
• Requires minimal maintenance once installed and configured. New hardware resources added to the system are automatically included in the monitoring structure.
• Provides automatic recovery from memory and CPU errors on some systems (memory page deallocation and dynamic processor resilience).
