ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring Intel Nodes for Monitoring by SPO
2. Select a configuration for operations. For this release, SPO Basic Edition
configurations are named as follows:
x_yUNIX_zNT_level
where:
x is the number of 2200 nodes.
y is the number of UnixWare nodes.
z is the number of Windows 2000 and Windows NT nodes.
level is the SPO Basic Edition release level.
For example, a configuration named 2_2UNIX_2NT_6.3CP is a configuration for managing
a ClearPath IX server with two OS 2200 nodes, two UnixWare nodes, and two Windows
2000 or Windows NT nodes.
After you select a configuration, the following windows open:
• The SPO Basic Edition main menu (Figure 12–3) includes an Alarms icon that turns red
whenever an alarm is raised against any node of the ClearPath IX server.
• The TopCluster window (Figure 12–4) contains icons representing the SPO server, the
Windows 2000, Windows NT, and UnixWare nodes, and each OS 2200 partition and
console. Each icon turns red whenever an alarm is raised against the corresponding
node. You can click an icon to open a console session.
• The Alarms window describes each alarm currently raised against the ClearPath IX
server. Click the text of any alarm for more information about the alarm.
After those windows open, you can click the appropriate Windows 2000, Windows NT, or
UnixWare node in the TopCluster window to open a session to that node to
• Install the SPO Windows agent (12.8) that was previously copied to each Windows
2000 and Windows NT node.
• Redirect console output from the UnixWare node to the SPO server (12.9).
You can also start Single Point Status and activate the Single Point Autoaction Message
