77MAXDATA PLATINUM 90004R Server System
If a session can be set up and the SMU application and core components are the same version, the
core components send task information and the SMU home view that the remote SMU application
displays in the task pane and primary information pane, respectively. The SMU home view directs
you to select a task from the task pane. The SMU home view is shown in Figure 36.

Startup of the Local SMU Application
The local SMU application can be run either from the system resource CD or, if the SMU software
has been installed locally, from the directory where it was installed on the system partition. Note that
if the SMU software has been installed locally, it can still be run from the CD.
Running from CD
The target server must have a CD drive (EFI currently only supports CDs that contain information in
the “El Torito” format). No network connection is required.
The following sequence of steps must be followed to start the SMU locally (assuming the system
resource CD is being used):
1. Insert the system resource CD into the CD drive on the target server and boot the server to
the EFI shell. The Resource CD menu program starts running automatically and displays a
splash screen followed by its main menu.
2. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the “Utilities” menu item. Press the <Enter> key.
3. Use the down arrow key to highlight the System Maintenance Utility menu item. Press the
<Enter> key. This causes the local SMU application (smu.e) to be started.
