Intel Server Management (ISM) Installation and User's Guide
Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC) Details
NOTE Paging alerts may continue after paging has been removed as an alert action.
If both shutdown and paging are selected in response to an event, the page may not be sent.
(Shutdown may occur first.)
To configure the paging string and event filters, use PIC or CSSU on the console, or use SSU on the
managed server. The paging string includes all the information to connect to the pager as well as the
message to send. Paging is one of the alert actions you can configure in the PIC.
Paging alerts can be configured for the same events as supported by LanAlert (page 24).
E-mail Alerts
You can use the PIC to configure an e-mail address to receive alerts for any of the same events as supported
by LAN-Alert and Platform Event Paging. Unlike the other two alert methods, you cannot configure e-mail
alerting with the CSSU or SSU. (For more information see page 51.)
Launching ISM Tools
ISM tools can be launched from the ISM standalone console. It will provide automatic discovery of managed
servers, server security, and LAN-based and/or phone-page alerts.
ISM Console
Use the ISM Console to manage ISM-enabled servers without installing a third-party system management
application. To launch the ISM Console:
1. Click Start, and select Programs.
2. Select Intel Server Management, and then click on ISM Console.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager
The HP OpenView Network Node Manager Console automatically detects servers running ISM server
instrumentation software, including interfaces for PIC, DPC, DMI Explorer and CSSU. ISM-enabled servers
display as nodes on the network map. To launch ISM, select an ISM-enabled server on the HP Console
network map, click the right mouse button, and select “Intel Server Management” from the popup menu.
To launch a particular ISM tool, for example, PIC, after selecting an ISM-enabled server, you can select the
"Platform Instrumentation Control Applet" option from the Tools Menu. Alternatively, you can launch PIC
by selecting an ISM-enabled server on network map, clicking the right mouse button, selecting “Launch
ISM” and then selecting the "Intel, Platform Instrumentation Control" option from the popup menu.
Supported third-party management software includes the HP OpenView Network Node Manager.
After launching ISM tools HP OpenView, the management console application can terminate, and ISM will
continue to operate normally.
Using the ISM Console
The ISM Console provides basic server management functions. From it you can run PIC, DPC, DMI
Explorer, and CSSU. The ISM Console lets you:
• Discover ISM servers
• Discover which ISM management tools are available on discovered servers
