SMASH

Server Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) is an initiative by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) that encompasses specifications (Server Management CLP, SM ME Addressing, SM Profiles) that address the interoperable manageability requirements of small to large scale heterogeneous computer environments.

SM CLP

The SM CLP specification defines a user friendly command-line protocol that provides command line interface (CLI) standards for interoperability.
