First Failure Support Technology/2
IBM OS/2 First Failure Support Technology/2 (FFST/2) provides Reliability, Accountability and Serviceability (RAS) functions. In the event of an error, FFST/2 can capture and recording of error data and reporting of the error. Generic alerts are generated, formatted in Network Management Vector Transport (NMVT) format and then sent to a management system.
It allows network administrators to monitor and respond over the network to errors that occur on OS/2 systems.
