Chapter 2. SMASH: An overview The information in the SMASH overview section details the general features and components of SMASH and an introduction to addressing in a SMASH environment. It includes discussion of the following topics: v "SMASH CLP architecture overview" v "SMASH CLP architectural model" v "Addressing managed elements" on page 4 SMASH CLP architecture overview The goal of the architecture is to describe server management in abstract terms regardless of server type, topology, and framework. It demonstrates that SMASH is useful in a variety of server implementations, spans the spectrum from small stand-alone servers to large partitionable servers, and encompasses topologies such as blade servers and racks as well as unique segments such as industry-standard servers, telecommunications, and mission-critical high-end servers.

SMASH:
An
overview
The
information
in
the
SMASH
overview
section
details
the
general
features
and
components
of
SMASH
and
an
introduction
to
addressing
in
a
SMASH
environment.
It
includes
discussion
of
the
following

SMASH
CLP
architecture
overview
The
goal
of
the
architecture
is
to
describe
server
management
in
abstract
terms
regardless
of
server
type,
topology,
and
framework.
It
demonstrates
that
SMASH
is
useful
in
a
variety
of
server
implementations,
spans
the
spectrum
from
small
stand-alone
servers
to
large
partitionable
servers,
and
encompasses
topologies
such
as
blade
servers
and
racks
as
well
as
unique
segments
such
as
industry-standard
servers,
telecommunications,
and
mission-critical
high-end
servers.
SMASH
CLP
architectural
model
The
SMASH
CLP
architecture
has
three
components:
v
Client
v
Management
server
v
Managed
element
or
elements
Figure

displays
a
model
of
these
components.
