9.2.2. Viewing Information using remote console interface
Remote console interface enables you to view information about only one partition at a
time. Management firmware does not provide an overall view of system operating status.
However, if you are interested in details about one partition, the partition summary page
of the remote console interface displays the following information:
• Health and state of the partition
• Power status, health, and state of each cell in the partition
Figure 3-2 shows an example of a partition summary page. You must log on to the
remote console interface for each partition individually to view this information.
Refer to 3.5.1 Partition Summary Page for a description of the page and the icons it
displays.
9.3. Setting Performance Thresholds using ESMPRO
Manager
Threshold values enable ESMPRO Manager to detect and report load status errors for
monitored servers on which agents are installed. You can configure thresholds for
individual servers for rate of CPU load and file system free capacity. When an operation
or device reaches a threshold, the agent sends an alert message to ESMPRO Manager
for display in AlertViewer.

9.3.1. Defining Threshold Values
Threshold values provide operating limits for an indicator, such as a temperature or
voltage monitor or a performance indicator. Depending on the indicator, you can
configure upper limits and lower limits by setting warning (minor) and critical (major; also
called fatal) threshold values for each. Threshold values determine when a monitored
indicator moves from a normal operating state to an abnormal, or warning, state and
then to a critical state. Some indicators have only upper limits, and some have both
upper and lower limits. For example, the operating temperature can exceed the normal
