Introduction to the Server Management Console
Server Management Console (SMC) is a stand-alone application for managing and monitoring
Fabric Manager Services. It provides an interface for viewing and changing the authentication
options used by the Fabric Manager Server. Figure 217 on page 326 shows the Server
Management Console.
The Server Management Console is available only to users who have root access on UNIX systems
and users who have write privilege to the Fabric Manager installation directory on Windows
systems. It is available only on hosts where the Fabric Manager Server is installed.
SMC is automatically installed with the Fabric Manager Server.
You can perform the following tasks using the Server Management Console:
• Start, stop, and restart FM Services
• View and edit authentication information.
• Backup and restore Fabric Manager database
• Collect supportShow information for the FM Server
• Create, change, or delete the login banner
• Change the security configuration setting from HTTP to HTTPS or vice versa.
• Change the Web Server port number
