Monitoring the ft Server
Introduction
ESMPRO provides several unique maintenance functions for the Express5800/ft
Server. These include switching system modules Off and On and updating
firmware in the Express5800/ft Server. Many maintenance functions may be
executed in the online state in which the system continues normal operation.
They may be executed at the managed ft server or from the ESMPRO
management console. The table below lists the Express5800/ft Server major
