Server Management Console overview
The Server Management Console (SMC) is an automatically installed, stand-alone application for
managing the Management application server. You can perform the following tasks using the SMC:
• From the Services tab, you can start, stop, refresh, and restart services on the server.
• From the Ports tab, you can change the Management application server or web server port
number.
• From the AAA Settings tab (Enterprise Licensed version only), you can configure an
authentication server (LDAP or Radius server), and establish authentication policies.
• From the Restore tab, you can restore server application data.
• From the Technical Support Information tab, you can collect information for technical support.
• From the HCM Upgrade tab, you can upgrade the Management application to use a new
version of Host Connectivity Manager (HCM).
• From the Performance Data Aging tab, you can define the performance data collection interval.
• From the SMI Agent Configuration Tool tool, you can configure the SMI Agent settings, such as
security, CIMOM, and certificate management as well as launch Management application
dialog boxes.
Launching the SMC on Windows
Open the Server Management Console from the Start menu on the Management application
server.
You can also drag the SMC icon onto your desktop as a short cut.
