76 Configuration Software and Utilities
77MAXDATA PLATINUM 90004R Server System
The remote SMU application then uses Service Partition Utilities services to execute the server-side
SMU core components. The remote SMU application attempts to establish a socket connection to
the server on an agreed upon socket. The application waits for a predened amount of time (up to
several seconds) before indicating to you that it failed to establish a connection. If a connection is
established, the application sends information to the SMU core components to request a session. If
the connection fails, a dialog box similar to Figure 34 is displayed:
Figure 34. Socket Connection Error Message
When the user clicks “OK”, the remote SMU application will close. The user can attempt to restart
the SMU from the ISM console if desired.
If the session with the SMU core components is established, a version check is made to determine if
the remote SMU application is able to communicate with the SMU core components on the server (i.e.
that the application and core components can understand the messages sent to each other without
problems occurring). If the versions do not match, the message shown in Figure 35 is displayed:
Figure 35. SMU Version Compatibility Error
When “OK” is clicked, the Java SMU application is closed and control is returned to the Service
Partition Utilities application. The SMU cosre components exit on the server and control returns to
an EFI prompt.
