Greg Pardon the intrusion, if it is viewed as such. We have offered conserver users access to CLIM at no charge in exchange for comments on how to make CLIM better. CLIM allows you from multiple hosts to access multiple systems by the other hosts using the primary as a provider. We have autofailover built into the product as well. So two CLIM servers or actually upto three can handle failover in unison, i.e., primary fails, secondary takes over, secondary fails, tertiary takes over, primary comes back and tertiary gives control back to primary. Further by making all systems providers to otehr, one system maintains control of the consoles while the others can access the consoles. we monitor the terminal server and port on server as well We have a highly distributed product that lets users gain access via command line or gui and soon browser. We have soft consoles that support ssh2 and clim supports and maintains links to ssh2 terminal servers most notably cyclades. We support logging on tty device attached lines as well. we support all types of UNIX systems, windows NT and win2k as well OpenVMS. 1. Need System ID for License: (see instructions below) 2. Need Hostname: 3. Need Interface Name: Instructions to get System ID: ? NT use: ipconfig -all OR ipconfig /all , send ouptut ? Tru64/ Digital UNIX use: netstat -i send MAC address (will need to remove DECnet or untar our files and run kinet/bin/setia) ? AIX use: uname -m output ? Solaris use: hostid output ? HPUX use: /etc/lanscan send Output ? OVMS use: mcr lancp sho config output ? NT use: ipconfig /all output ? IRIX use: sysinfo -s output ? Linux use: ifconfig output - CLIM is a commercial product that provides extensive management facilities including console management easy to install and deploy dynamically add consoles w/o having to cycle Service daemons mulitple read/write access exclusive access that makes all read/write access readonly, connect to all consoles with a single window ( gang connect ) mulitple access methods that are all logged to unique log files including telnet and ssh sessions ( 2nd QTR 2002 ) and operator console ( need to load KOP Service on remote system ) auto-archiving of unique console logs support for ssh v2 and access to terminal servers that have ssh v2 deployed, i.e., cyclades, lantronix and cisco ( v1 - version 1 support by 2nd QTR 2002) vnc access to windows from UNIX using vnctight and UNIX Window manager and connection via Browser using port 5801 and above. CPU Efficient console log scanning auto configures terminal server ports and locks them down. Supports three power managers that have serial lines including APC and Server Technology Console inputs and outputs can be scan for up to five patterns as they occur as well as boot prompts are reported imeediately when found Terminal/Access Server Management Monitors, Maintains and Manages Terminal/Access Servers' configuration of their serial ports. Monitors, Maintains and Manages Terminal/Access Servers' configuration of console ports controlled by CLIM. This capability means that if the terminal server port goes unavailable then you willknow prior to accessing the port. Log File Monitoring a highly CPU efficient, beats Perle Scripts scanning, and scan of console logs. Pattern recognition is specified by regular expressions. If you distribute CLIM's NodeMonitor Services to each system under Console Management any log file on that system can be monitored including UNIX messages file or any NT event file or OpenVMS Operator Log file. Any log files patterns found are forwarded to our Event manager or as an snmp trap or to BMC Software Tivoli or OpenView event managers. As many lines before and after a found pattern can be specified by the user to be forwarded with the found pattern. The log file contents can be filtered as it is viewed by patterns or time intervals. The filtered log file can be printed or emailed or displayed via web. Event Manager Pattern finds, System Resource and Application Availability Monitoring or realtime high priority console scans are received by the Event Manager. The events found can be reported as they are found or an event can be generated after a number of events come in within a specified period of time. Actions assoicated with an event can be generated depending on the time of day. UP to 5 times of days can be specified Actions can be limited to occur a specified number of times with a given duration of time, e.g. one action per 1 hour or 30 minutes. System Resource, Application Availability Monitoring and Operations Console Those systems connected to CLIM via an access server can easily and quickly deploy system resource and application monitoring. NODEMONITOR Services include Log File Manager, Event Manager, KIOperations ( KOP ) Services and our directory server KiDS. CPU, Memory, Disk and Page/Swap file are monitored. Resource utilization that exceeds the thresholds set automatically or specified by the user has an event generated. If a monitored application executable ( multiple instances are found of same process name ) exits user can stipulate restart script. An event is generated and a popup is sent to any CLIM Ki Works. OpenVMS applications PID is reported in HEX. A script is run to set up a CLIM UNIX server as a Distribuiton Server. The Distribution Server is populated from our ftp site with the required binaries. The systems connected to and under control of CLIM will be updated with the NODEMONITOR Services via another script. From CLIM the user will be able to gain access to a UNIX X server via X display or WebBrowser port 5801. The browser must support Java. NODEMONITOR Services will need to be installed on the UNIX system. Access to NT and Win2k WinVNC servers will also be allowed via X and broswer and will be more efficent under tightvnc binaries. AutoFailover to upto Three Redundant Systems A CLIM BFD Service named for the buford ( Backup failover daemon ) allows for upto two other CLIM Servers to be specified as backup systems. In the USA South buford is a good ole boy who is someone you can count on. If the primary system exits the first backup system takes over, if the first backup system fails the second backup system takes over.The BFD Services coordinate the failover sequeunce between three CLIM servers. If at any time the first backup or primary system come back online the first or second backup system will relinquish control to the primary. Detected failures include Service Daemon failure, network failure, power failure or system crash. Failover can also be initiated via the command line using bfdcp command fail init and terminated via the fail term commands. Setup is as simple as bfdcp add backup node <name of climserver> All redundancy is automatically setup. The event, log file and console databases are propagated. If a chenge occurs in any of the primary system's Services the backup systems are automatically updated as well.
