High reliability tools are a comprehensively useful set of software for stable system operations of the
server. The following tools have respective roles to manage normal operations or recovery from errors:

Server Monitoring Tools
The server monitoring tools monitor the hardware status on behalf of the administrator and notify him/
her in the event of an error.
●
Early Detection of a Server Failure [ServerView]
ServerView is software that protects important server resources by monitoring whether the server
hardware is in a normal state. When using ServerView, the server hardware is monitored all the time.
If an error that could cause trouble is detected, the administrator is notified in real-time. This allows the
server administrator to remove a system error early and avoid trouble.
●
Early Detection of a Disk Problem [RAID Management Tool]
RAID Management Tool is software that performs array configurations, disk initialization, and storage
system monitoring. When an event occurs, it leaves an event log in the event viewer's application logs.
At the same time, a pop-up window indicates a hard disk failure, rebuild status, etc.
