Server Management Configuration (SMConfig) Utility

The SMConfig utility configures all EMP settings for serial connections and all BMC LAN settings for LAN
connections for Itanium-based managed servers. Depending on the type of connection (serial or LAN), you
need to perform different steps to configure the connections. However, it is convenient to configure the
settings for both types of connections during the same SMConfig session.
To run SMConfig from the Resource CD, copy the folder containing the SMConfig files to a 3.5-inch
diskette.
Configuring LAN Connections
Follow these steps to configure the LAN connection.
1. Boot the managed server to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) shell.
2. Insert the diskette that contains the SMConfig software into the server's LS120 drive.
3. Enter smconfig to invoke the SMConfig Utility.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Config menu and press <Enter> to reveal the menu's items.
5. Use the down arrow to highlight the DPC/LAN item and press <Enter>.
6. Use the arrow keys to do the following:
o Set LAN Access Mode to Enable
o Set the Host IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address to appropriate values
o Set the Alert IP Address to the IP Address of the workstation running Intel® Server Control
software to which the server will send alert notifications
o Set the SNMP Community String to Public
7. Set a password for the managed server. Whenever a user tries to connect to the server using a LAN
connection, they must supply this password to gain access to the server. To set the password, click Set
Password and follow the screen directions.
8. Click Save to save your changes.
9. Click OK to get back to the SMConfig Utility main screen.
Configuring Serial Connections
Serial connections consist of connections through a modem or a direct connection through a null-modem
cable. Follow these steps to configure serial connections.
1. Boot the managed server to the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) shell.
2. Insert the diskette that contains the SMConfig software into the server's LS120 drive.
3. Enter smconfig to invoke the SMConfig Utility.
