Release Notes
Tivoli Manager for Domino, Version 3.1.0, provides the
following new features and benefits.
- Support for most operating systems for Lotus(R) Domino(TM), including
Windows NT(TM), Windows 2000, OS/400(R), AIX(R), and Solaris.
Tivoli Manager for Domino does not support HP-UX or OS/2(R) as a Domino
server platform.
- A single Tivoli interface for backing up and recovering Lotus Notes
databases through Tivoli Data Protection and for viewing the severity and
relationship of events through the Tivoli Enterprise Console. You can
also define local event correlation rules for automated responses, such as
running a corrective task.
- Diagnostic tools to monitor, detect, correct, and prevent problems in a
Lotus Domino system. The tools address monitoring server properties,
statistics, or health; running Domino tasks; searching log
files; checking database corruption; mail waiting and mail
verification; checking replication; checking inactive users;
and administering the access control list (ACL).
- A new interface, called the management console, that uses Java(R)
technology so administrators can perform the following operations:
- Manage servers through a client user interface inside Lotus Notes(R)
or through Netscape or Internet Explorer.
- View a table of status and operations data for all Domino servers.
You can group the servers in the table by domain, hierarchy, Domino release,
operating system, server status (up or down), cluster, network, or monitor
status.
- Use the tabbed interface to organize the following management
activities:
- Check status of servers and perform operations such as checking health or
checking for database corruption.
- Generate and distribute graphs and tables of monitoring data for a server
or for groups of servers.
- Back up, restore, and activate databases and log files.
- Filter significant event information to send to the Tivoli Enterprise
Console.
- Probe server performance from the perspective of a Lotus Notes
client.
- Configure servers to work with Tivoli Manager for Domino.
- Add servers to policy regions and group those servers in profile
managers.
- Configure and run monitors and collect data from those monitors.
- Probe technology to measure and record application and server performance
so you can improve your capacity planning, change management, and document
conformance with service-level objectives. You can schedule probes to
run at intervals to generate representative user transactions and to record
and report results. Tivoli Manager for Domino provides several graph
and table formats for viewing probe data.
- A number of new or enhanced monitors for tracking routine events, such as
logical disk full, Domino service disruptions, database corruption or
fragmentation, and hardware failures. Other sets of monitors provide
transaction logging, agent monitors, replication monitors, and advanced
cluster member monitoring. Sets of tasks exist that provide some of the
same features. You also can use Tivoli Manager for Domino to monitor a
specific user's mail file and perform detailed trend analysis,
service-level agreement (SLA) reporting, and root cause analysis.
- Management console graphs and tables that capture comprehensive data for
Domino servers. You can save, print, and e-mail any graph or
table. For historical data and trending data, the optional Tivoli
Decision Support for Lotus Domino product works with the data from Tivoli
Manager for Domino to provide sophisticated gathering, analyzing, and
presenting of data to support decision making within an organization.
- A command line interface that provides functional flexibility and
additional power to Tivoli Manager for Domino for reliability, accessibility,
and scalability. Using a command line interface, the administrator can
query logs and obtain log information from the Tivoli desktop or from the
management console.
