           Compaq Management Agents for Servers - NetWare

-------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW COMPAQ MANAGEMENT AGENTS ARCHITECTURE

Compaq Management Agents for Servers are identifiable and
installable as four separate components - namely the
Compaq Foundation Agents, the Compaq Server Agents, Compaq Storage Agents
and the Compaq NIC Agents.

Under this architecture users have the choice to update individual
pieces for new functionality, and need not update the entire agent.
For example, if the user decided to add a new Storage subsystem
to a server, only the Compaq Storage Agents need to be updated on
the server. This architecture also positions Compaq to better address
customer needs by delivering new agent functionality independent of hardware
releases and expedite hardware releases by adding management support
independent of each other.

Compaq Foundation Agents - The Compaq Foundation Agents collect information
for the host server, including software version and external MIB
status. They also provides threshold support and SNMP alerts.

Compaq Server Agents - The Compaq Server Agents collect and displays
configuration information on the system and the Remote Insight Board.
They also provides SNMP alerts.

Compaq Storage Agents - The Compaq Storage Agents display information on the
Mass Storage Subsystems configured on the system being viewed. The agents
collect information from fibre channel, drive array, SCSI, and IDE
subsystems. They also provides SNMP alerts.

Compaq NIC Agents - The Compaq NIC Agents display information on logical
Compaq Network Interface Controllers (NICs) that are configured on the system
being viewed.
