Utilities provided in this SSD :
1) Rev 1.01: RI Agent.
This runs as a daemon and interacts with the RIB Driver,
Health and IDA Agents to send SNMP Traps to the Remote
Insight Board. Additional executable of RI Agent is
included which is compatible with Wellness driver v1.0
2) Rev 1.02: Health Agent.
This runs as a daemon and monitors the Correctable Memory
Errors, counts and informs the RI Agent to send an SNMP
Trap whenever a Correctable Memory Error occurs. This agent
interacts with Wellness driver and supports monitoring of
various server components and sends Mail Alert notification
whenever a status change is detected on any of the server
components. This feature will be available only if the Compaq
Wellness driver version 2.00 or above is installed in your
system.
Additional executable for Health Agent is included which is
compatible with Wellness driver version 1.0
3) Rev 1.01: IDA Agent.
This runs as a daemon and monitors the status of the Drive
Array configured on the server. It informs the RI Agent to
send an SNMP Trap in case there is any change in the status
of the logical, physical and spare drives. This agent interacts
with IDA driver and SMART-2 driver and supports monitoring of
drives connected to IDA or Compaq SMART-2 Array controller and
sends Mail Alert notification if a drive status change is
detected.
4) Rev 1.0: RIVIEW.
This is a curses based utility which allows the user to
monitor the Drive Array and Correctable Memory status on
