About This Guide

The NEC ESMPRO monitors the configuration, failures, and performance of systems across a

network. This user's guide is intended for the system administrator and describes NEC ESMPRO

capabilities, installation, features, and use.

This manual is comprised of the following chapters.

Chapter 1, Introducing NEC ESMPRO, describes NEC ESMPRO features, configuration

and system requirements.

Chapter 2, Installation of the NEC ESMPRO Agent, details the procedures for verifying

network settings and installing the NEC ESMPRO Agent software on remote servers

running Windows systems.

Chapter 3, Using the NEC ESMPRO Agent, describes how to access the NEC ESMPRO

Agent, specify monitoring thresholds for the system, and interpret NEC ESMPRO Agent

services on Windows systems.

Appendix B, Note on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

Chapter 1

Introducing the NEC ESMPRO

The NEC ESMPRO lets a system administrator manage remote servers across a network. NEC

ESMPRO monitors server hardware and software configurations, failures, and performance. With

log data collected by NEC 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

The NEC 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 NEC 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

–NEC 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.

2 Introducing the NEC ESMPRO

CONFIGURATION

The NEC ESMPRO consists of a NEC ESMPRO Manager program that runs on a management

computer and an NEC ESMPRO Agent program that runs on servers to be managed.

The NEC ESMPRO Manager collects hardware, software, and firmware information from

NEC ESMPRO Agents connected to the network. The NEC ESMPRO Manager displays

NEC ESMPRO Agent information, failures, and error logs on the screen.

The NEC ESMPRO Agent monitors server hardware, software, and firmware and

transmits the information over the network to the NEC ESMPRO Manager using SNMP.

The NEC ESMPRO Agent lets you view system settings and reset some NEC ESMPRO

thresholds locally.

Each managed server must have the NEC ESMPRO Agent installed and running. Using SNMP, the

NEC ESMPRO Agent sends data across the network to the NEC ESMPRO Manager, which collects

the server information.

In addition, when you install both IIS and the Web Component on the NEC ESMPRO Manager

computer, you can manage servers through the web browser.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

NEC ESMPRO requires the following hardware and software:

NEC ESMPROAgent Hardware

–NEC Express5800 series

–Memory : 30.0MB of free memory

–Hard Disk space : 50.0MB

NEC ESMPRO Agent Software (Windows)

–Operating System :

Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Editions

–Communications Protocol : TCP/IP (comes standard with respective OS)

–SNMP installed with a community defined

4 Introducing the NEC ESMPRO

INSTALLATION

Install the NEC ESMPRO Agent software first. Doing so allows you to run the Autodiscover

function to collect NEC ESMPRO data as soon as the NEC ESMPRO Manager software is up and

running. If you add an NEC ESMPRO Agent after installing the NEC ESMPRO Manager software,

you can rerunAutodiscover or add the NEC ESMPRO Agent manually for proper monitoring.

For installation procedures, go to Chapter 2, Installation of the NEC ESMPRO Agent.

Chapter 2

Installation of the NEC ESMPRO Agent

Installing the NEC ESMPRO Agent software in Windows systems involves the following

procedures:

–Ensuring that the TCP/IP protocol and SNMP services are running.

–Configuring the SNMP Agent for NEC ESMPRO, including defining a community in

SNMP and specifying the Manager IP address.

–Installing System update.

–Installing the NEC ESMPRO Agent software on each server you want to monitor.

NOTE: Install the NEC ESMPRO Agent software on the servers

before installing the NEC ESMPRO Manager software. This makes

setup easier since it allows the NEC ESMPRO Manager to detect NEC

ESMPRO Agents that are installed and running.

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these steps to install the NEC ESMPRO Agent software on each remote server you want to

monitor.

Verify that TCP/IP are running on the system as follows:

1. Press the "Start" button, highlight "Settings", and select "Control Panel".

2. Double click on the "Network Connections" icon.

3. Double click on the "Local Area Connection".

4. Click on the "Properties".

5. Look at the components checked in "This connection uses the following items:" Verify

that TCP/IP is installed.

Verify that SNMP are running on the system as follows:

1. Press the "Start" button, highlight "Settings", and select "Control Panel".

2. Double click on the "Administrative Tools" icon.

3. Double click on the "Services" icon.

4. Look at the service list.

Verify that SNMP Services is installed.

6 Installation of the NEC ESMPRO Agent

If TCP/IP and SNMP Service are installed, go to the next section, "Installation of the NEC

ESMPRO Agent Software".

If they are not installed, continue as follows.

Installation of TCP/IP Protocol

a) Press the "Start" button, highlight "Settings", and select "Control Panel".

b) Double click on the "Network Connections" icon.

c) Double click on the "Local Area Connection".

d) Click on the "Properties".

e) Click on the "Install".

f) From the "Select Network Component Type" dialog box chose "Protocol" and press

"Add…".

g) From the "Select Network Protocol" dialog box chose "Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]"

and press "OK".

h) Highlight "Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]" in the "This connection uses the following

items:" and click on "Properties". Set the following TCP/IP configuration parameters

in "General" tab:

–IP address

–Subnet mask

–Default gateway, if needed

NOTE: Do not check "Obtain an IP address automatically" on the IP

Address page since the NEC ESMPRO Manager already contains the

Agent's IP address.

Be careful that IP addresses and host names in the same network do not

overlap.

Installation of SNMP Service

a) Press the "Start" button, highlight "Settings", and select "Control Panel".

b) Double click on the "Add or Remove Programs" icon.

c) Click on the "Add/Remove Windows Components" button.

d) From the "Windows Components Wizard", chose the "Management and Monitoring
