Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, operating system 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).
A conformance test and certification program for SMASH is being developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Systems Management Forum (SMF).
