5.7 Managing Server using SMASH
The Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) is a suite of specifications
that deliver industry-standard protocols to increase productivity of the management of a data center.
The SMASH Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) specification provides an interface to heterogeneous
servers, independent of machine state or OS state, system topology or access method. It is a standard
method for local and remote management of server hardware using out-of-band communication.
SMASH is being developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Server Management
Working Group (SMWG). For more details about SMASH, see: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smash

S5000, Intel
®
S5500 Series, and Intel
®
S1200BT Series server boards support an interface to
System Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) and the associated Command Line
Protocol (CLP) when advanced features are enabled (that is. with Intel
®
RMM2, Intel
®
RMM3 or Intel
®
RMM4 module installed).
5.7.1 Logging into the SMASH* Session
1. ssh to BMC from the client machine.
2.
the # prompt.
3. This executable will initialize all the needed variables, discover the targets and will show the
SMASH console screen.
5.7.2 SMASH* Targets
SMASH* Targets is the first layer of the SMASH* which contains two targets. They are settings1 and
system1. The settings1 contains all the current session supported values and the system1 is the
server/blade and about this target is explained in the next section.
5.7.3 Supported Properties
The supported property of the SMASH* target is identity.
