2.3.1.3 Tools and Commands
SYSMAN uses many of the same software tools that you traditionally use
to manage a system. It can process most DCL commands, such as MOUNT
and INITIALIZE. It can also execute many system management utilities and
command procedures, such as AUTHORIZE and AUTOGEN.
SYSMAN also includes its own commands that let you perform the following
tasks:

2.3.2 Enabling a Remote System to Execute SYSMAN Commands
The SMISERVER process must be running on a remote node for SYSMAN
commands to execute on that node. SMISERVER is the detached process
responsible for executing SYSMAN commands on remote nodes.
Any node that is part of an OpenVMS Cluster system normally
starts the SMISERVER process in the system startup procedure
SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM. (The system parameter VAXCLUSTER on
the node must have a value of 1 or more.)
To start the SMISERVER process on a workstation that is not part of an
OpenVMS Cluster system, include the following command line in the site-specific
startup command procedure SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP SMISERVER
For more information about SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM, see Section 5.2.7.
You can also enter this command interactively to restart the SMISERVER process
without rebooting the system.
