Configuring Your Managed System with the System
Maintenance Utility (SMU)
NOTE:
The SMU can be run from both the Resource CD and from the system’s utility partition (UT). See
the System Software Guide on the Resource CD for instructions on running the SMU from the UT.
The managed system must have a CD drive. A network connection is not required.
The following sequence of steps is followed to start the SMU locally (using the system Resource
CD):
1
Insert the system Resource CD into the CD drive on the managed system and boot the
system to the EFI shell. The Resource CD menu program begins running automatically and
displays a splash screen followed by the main menu.
2
Use the arrow keys to move to the Utilities menu item. Press the <Enter> key.
3
Use the down arrow key to highlight the System Maintenance Utility menu item. Press the
<Enter> key to start the local SMU application.
The server management configuration task appears in the task pane of the SMU. This task allows
you to configure server management settings maintained by the BMC. The server management
configuration task supports configuring of the following, which are displayed as sub-tasks:
• Users
• LAN Channel
• Serial/Modem
• Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
• Power Settings
Upon selecting one of the above sub-tasks, a screen is displayed that contains some or all of the
configuration items that pertain to the selected sub-task. The data that is initially displayed is read
from the server management controller of the system. You can update the settings and save them
back to the system.
Sub-tasks can be made up of one or more screens, depending on the server management
configuration settings you enabled. Buttons that are common to the server management
configuration tasks are:
Save — Causes the current values of the settings in the current subtask to be stored in non-volatile
memory on the system.
Edit — Causes a screen to be displayed that allows you to change settings related to a single entry
in a table.
