Smart Server Manager v1.2 – Best Practices

12

Suggested configuration for setting hardware, software and VM performance alerts

Smart Server Manager’s email alert system is a powerful tool for IT administrators to ensure they have up-
to-the-minute status updates about there hardware and software across their network. This free
management tool can also be easily set for an entire network within about an hour across existing Acer
hardware, and roughly an afternoon for a new setup.

Once Smart Server Manager is installed on a host machine, and the networks for both the operating
systems (connected via NIC 1 or others) and the server hardware (dedicated BMC management port), IT
administration may begin monitoring the devices.

To enter SSM v1.2, simply enter the IP address of the core server into the browser followed by “/XMS.html”
as shown below. /XMS.html is not necessary as the system should add it automatically.


The default user name and password are “admin” and “password”, respectively.

Once logged in, the user will see the “Open Discovery Range” button. Click it to set a series of IP ranges
for which SSM v1.2 can detect either available OS, server hardware and/or virtual machines.
