Performing System Management Tasks

Chapter 7  Using Threshold Manager 

You use the Threshold Manager utility to monitor the internal operating
system resources that can lead to a system abort when they reach critical
levels of utilization.  Threshold Manager can simply notify you whenever
a monitored resource exceeds user-defined levels (allowing you to choose
a course of action), or, it can prevent new job and session logons when
the system reaches the critical level.

This chapter teaches you how to use Threshold Manager.  It includes the
following topics:

   *   starting (entering) and exiting Threshold Manager

   *   enabling and disabling Threshold Manager

   *   using online help

   *   resetting the configuration

   *   turning global notifications on and off

   *   displaying the configuration as a list and graphically

   *   printing current configuration information

   *   turning resource monitoring on and off

   *   adding, deleting and modifying a threshold

   *   modifying the interval time of an operation cycle

   *   monitoring Threshold Manager with OpenView Manager and
       personalizing the OVC icon

Threshold Manager runs on any Hewlett-Packard Precision Architecture HP
3000 system that has been updated to MPE/iX version C.50.00 (release 5.0
or later).  No additional hardware is needed.
