Server Discovery

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."

Remote SMU Application

The path used to connect to a target server is defined by the ISM software, based on information it
has about each server. After a LAN connection is established between the remote SMU application
and SMU core components on the server, the application and the core components set up a socket
connection to communicate through.
The sequence of steps that occur when starting the remote SMU application is listed below. These
steps occur under the control of the ISM software, not the SMU software, and all errors are handled
by the ISM software.
1. In the ISM Console software, click on Reboot to Service Partition under the list of tools for a
server shown.
2. Enter the username and password for an out-of-band connection on the Service Partition
Utilities screen.
3. Click Login.
