Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware
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 intuitive 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).
Some remote management technologies include Lights out and Integrated Lights out (ilo) from HP Proliant, Remote System Access (RSA) from IBM, and Advanced Lights-Out Management (ALOM) from Sun Microsystems.
