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 view 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 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.
