Running the Server Management Configuration Utility

Follow these steps to run the SM Config Utility:

1. Boot to the EFI Shell with the HP Server rx4610 Resource CD-ROM in the

DVD-ROM drive.

2. Find the DVD-ROM drive and change to it.

3. Change the directory to SMCONFIG.

4. Load the IPMI driver by typing the following command:

load ipmi.efi

5. Run the utility by typing the following command:

smconfig

The utility automatically loads configuration data from the smconfig.ini file. This
data is used to build the contents of the Config Data pull-down menu in the utility.
The smconfig.ini file is the default file, but you could load a different file of
configuration data on the command line. For example, if you built an
initialization file called mydata.ini you would load it with the command:

smconfig mydata.ini

Alternatively, you could load the data from mydata.ini with the File Open
command described below.

Main Window

The SM Config pull-down menu lets your select the main features of the utility.
To access menu items, use the arrow keys. Press the key to select a
menu item. A brief description of each menu item is displayed in the tip-view
window at the bottom of the screen.

File Open

Use the File menu to open a different ini file of configuration data. You can
specify a file name with path and extension, select a file name from a file list, or
browse directories and drives from a list. Use the key to move between
these options. Use the left and right arrow keys to move between the file and
directory lists, and the key to cancel altogether. The and left/right
arrow keys are supported in the edit box for entering a file name.

When an ini file is opened, SM Config validates the contents of the file and
updates the Config menu with the configuration items in the file. See the
following "Updating/Viewing Config Data" section for details about configuration
items in the default smconfig.ini file.
