SMU Application Startup and Shutdown
This section describes the following items:
• Installation of SMU software.
• Discovery of servers that support the SMU.
• The steps that occur when the local and remote SMU applications are started, along with
describing any user input necessary in each case.
• Determination of a connection path for a remote SMU session.
• How to shut down the local and remote SMU applications.
• Error conditions and handling during startup and shutdown.
Installation of SMU Software
The installation of the remote SMU application software is part of the ISM installation process. This
results in the SMU les being copied to a directory specied during that installation process.
The installation of the SMU core components occurs as part of the installation process for the service
partition software. The service partition software is installed using the system resource CD supplied
with the server. Note that a system partition is created and installed as part of the procedure to
install the service partition software. It is possible to run the SMU local application from a CD without
installing a service partition.
Discovery of Servers That Support the SMU
Running the remote SMU application requires that the Intel
®
Server Management software be installed
on the client system. When the ISM software is run, it performs a discovery of all servers that support
tools available within ISM. The discovered servers are displayed in the ISM Console. By clicking on a
server name in the table, a list of tools supported on that server is displayed. The SMU is contained
in the set of tools listed under the heading Reboot to Service Partition.
Figure 31 below shows the ISM Console with the supported tools shown for a server.
