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.
