Please read the following information before using SMS:
• In order to use this software normally, cookies should be supported and, in the security settings
of IE, the active script should be enabled.
• Don't try to start or stop service by the application named "service" with path of "/sbin/" in
Linux System. Otherwise, the environment variables associated with service program will be
reset and some applications may run abnormally.
• SNMP service is required for browsing SNMP information.
• WMI service is required for browsing WMI information. The WMI function in windows can
be used normally with the SMS WMI packages installed. You can use WMI tool to get (/set)
IPMI information. The connection namespace is "root\IESC_SMS".
• Only with the SNMP packages of Red Hat 9.0 installed, can the SNMP function of AS 3.0 QU3
run normally. You need to uninstall the SNMP packages of AS 3.0 QU3 manually and install
them from the Red Hat 9.0 setup disk.
These SNMP packages include:
net-snmp-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm, net-snmp-devel-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm, and
net-snmp-utils-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm. You can also use "#rpm -Uvh --force" to make mandatory
installation of "net-snmp-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm", and then install
"net-snmp-devel-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm" and "net-snmp-utils-5.0.6-17.i386.rpm".
• When IPMI driver or firmware is changed, please reboot SMS Local Agent service to ensure
the system run normally.
• In Linux OS, the default host name is "localhost". If this name is changed, the SMS reports can not
be sent out via mails. This problem can be solved with the following method:
In the file "/etc/hosts", add a line of "*.*.*.* local host name".
For example: if the local host's IP address is "192.168.0.1", and its host name is "abc", you
should put a line of "192.168.0.1 abc" in the file.
You can get the host name by entering the command of "hostname".
When the above operation is done, please restart the SMS Webservice.
• When SMS web page can't be accessed, please restart SMS web service.
• Please choose 1024*768 screen resolution for best display.
• In SMS, do not enter the non-English characters which can not be recognized by the software.
