Platform Compatibility  
Feature availability can depend on which version of the Intel® Server Control (ISC) is running on  
which platform. Specifically, compatibility is an issue when an ISC 3.1 console is managing a  
network of systems that are running older versions of ISC. For feature availability, refer to the  
Platform Compatibility Matrix beginning on page 23 near the end of this guide.

Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control  
 
Service Partition and Population  
The service partition is a special hard disk partition. It is established when initially setting up the  
server system and contains utilities, diagnostics, and other software required for remote  
management. The service partition is not marked as an active partition and the server will only  
boot from it by a special request. It is not normally visible to the server user because it has a  
special non-standard partition type that does not appear as an accessible file system to the end user  
operating system. However, low level disk utilities can see the partition entry as an unknown type,  
and recognize its space.  
The utilities and diagnostics on the service partition can be run locally or remotely. In order to run  
the utilities and diagnostics the server must boot from the service partition. Remote execution is  
available from the Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console Manager and System Setup Utility  
(SSU) Client.  
Service Partition Installation  
It is recommended that you install the service partition:  
On a clean formatted hard drive with no partitions defined.  
Before installing any operating system.  
It can also be installed on a hard drive that contains partitions, providing there is unpartitioned  
space and one free entry in the partition table. However, these are not recommended because some  
operating systems may no longer boot if partitions are added or removed after that OS has been  
installed.  
Requirements  
The SP can be on any of the first 8 BIOS-supported physical hard drives.  
SP hard drives must support BIOS INT13.  
Current ECO BIOS must be installed.  
Remove old service parititions and create service partition with current Software Kit CD.  
At least 50 MB of unused (not partitioned) hard drive space. On large hard drives this unused  
space must be within the first 8 GB.  
A service partition does not already exist on the hard drive.  
NOTE  
✏  
There are commercial utilities that can resize existing partitions to free space  
if more is needed. Alternately, you can add a low capacity hard drive for the  
service partition.

Installing ISC  
Managed Server Preparation  
ISC uses the event-logging feature of the BIOS for system management status and information. To  
enable this feature for each server to be managed with ISC, you must boot the server(s) using the  
System Configuration Utility (SCU) or System Setup Utility (SSU) and set the appropriate options  
under System Management Options.  
NOTE  
✏  
It is possible to configure temperature and voltage thresholds on the server  
system using the SCU or SSU. However, the thresholds set with the SCU or  
SSU are in effect only for a short time during the system boot process. PIC  
overwrites these thresholds when the OS loads. It is recommended that all  
threshold changes be made using Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC).  
Compatibility and Upgrade Issues  
The following paragraphs describe compatibility and upgrade issues for:  
LSC and LDSM  
NetWare  
Windows NT  
Windows 98 Second Edition  
UnixWare  
Red Hat Linux  
Windows 2000  
LSC and LDSM  
If you have earlier versions of LSC or LDSM on your network, be aware of the following:  
Versions of LSC integrated with LDSM (e.g., LDSM with LSC55) are not supported  
under ISC.  
The ISC-managed server installation will not upgrade the DMI service provider or any DMI  
database that is already installed on the managed server. However, if a service provider is not  
found, ISC installs a DMI 2.0 service provider.  
The ISC server installation process installs the remote procedure call (RPC) transports (DCE  
and ONC) if they are not available on the managed server.  
ISC ships with the DMI 2.0s Service Provider for Windows NT. The 2.0s version is an  
extension of the Service Provider that supports security. ISC does not use those features, but  
they are available under Windows NT for possible use by other DMI 2.0s-compliant software.

Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control  
 
NetWare  
For installation on systems using NetWare, be aware of the following:  
Connect as a user with supervisor rights when installing ISC to a NetWare server.  
All NetWare servers require two manual reboots following the ISC installation.  
The TiRPC runtime library for ONC RPC or a substitute file set for NetWare5x must be  
running.  
Windows NT  
For installation on systems using Windows NT, be aware of the following:  
Connect as a user with supervisor rights when installing ISC to a Windows NT server.  
The ISC installation program automatically reboots both remote and local servers as necessary.  
Remote Access Service (RAS) must be previously be installed on the console for if  
connectivity will use a modem.  
Windows 98 Second Edition  
For installation on systems using Windows 98 Second Edition, be aware of the following:  
A manual reboot is required following the ISC installation.  
Remote Registry must be previously installed on the console.  
UnixWare  
For installation on systems using UnixWare, be aware of the following:  
Connect as root user when installing ISC to a UnixWare server.  
A plain text password must be enabled in the registry. If the password is not enabled, an extra  
reboot following ISC installation will be required on each UnixWare server.  
Vision FS must be installed, configured, and running.  
Mcopy must be installed on each ISC managed UnixWare server. Please refer to the man page  
for doscp for download and install instruction for mcopy. Mcopy can also be installed by  
installing the mtools package from Skunkware 7 CD-ROM.  
A manual reboot is required for each server following the ISC installation.  
The server automatically reboots following ISC installation.  
By default, SCO UnixWare v7.1.1 systems have DMI access set to read-only. This setting prevents  
ISC from changing sensor thresholds, enabling the watchdog timer, and executing other functions.  
To allow ISC to operate correctly, DMI access write permission must be enabled. Do the following  
to enable DMI access to write:  
1. Log in as 'root'.  
2. Stop the DMI Service Provider (dmi stop).  
3. Open the file /etc/rc2.d/S89dmi for editing.  
4. Change the line $DMI_PATH $@ to $DMI_PATH $@ -w.  
5. Save the file and restart the DMI Service Provider (dmi start).  
This change is valid for all future sessions.

locally. Select all the server(s) to be installed and follow the instruction on the screen to continue.  
After the installation is completed, reboot the server to complete the installation:  
Each Windows 2000/NT server automatically reboots.  
Each NetWare, UnixWare, or Linux server requires manual reboot.  
1. Login with system administrator access.  
2. Verify the HP OpenView is not running.  
3. Do steps 4 and 5 then skip step 6 if you are installing from the Software Kit CD. Skip to step 6  
if you are installing from a download from the web.  
4. At the console, insert the Software Kit CD into the CD ROM reader.  
5. Run the program x:\binaries\setup.exe, where x in the drive letter of your CD ROM reader.  
6. Run the program ISCsetup.exe from the ISC download directory.  
7. Note this installation may require multiple server reboots.  
When installation is complete, view the file logfile in the install directory of each server and  
console to verify that ISC installed correctly.  
Red Hat Linux Installation  
There are three steps to the Red Hat Linux installation process:  
Installing Linux DMI server provider  
Installing ISC  
Configuring the SNMP_DMI mapper  
16  
Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control  
 
Installing Linux DMI Service Provider  
1. Insert the Software Kit CD into the Linux server CD ROM reader.  
2. Mount the CD using either of the following methods:  
Enter the mount command as follows:  
mount /mnt/cdrom  
Use the Disk Management utility. To invoke this utility click the Start button, select  
System, and then select the Disk Management menu option.  
3. Uninstall ucd-snmp if it has been installed previously with rpm –e.  
NOTE  
✏  
If you uninstall ucd-snmp, you must also remove all related snmp and  
DMI packages. When you remove these packages, remove them in an  
order that eliminates dependency error messages. For example, if a  
dependency error message appears, remove the package mentioned in  
the error message. Continue removing the dependent packages in this  
manner until the error messages stop.  
4. Install the DMI service provider package located in the \Software\Linux\dmisnmp directory on  
the Software Kit CD by using the rpm command. For example, the following command installs  
a version of the DMI service provider package:  
rpm –i dmisp-1.0-6.i386.rpm  
5. Locate and install the ucd-snmp RPM, ucd-snmp-utils RPM, and dmi2snmp RPM packages.  
These packages are also located in the \Software\Linux\dmisnmp directory on the Software Kit  
CD. Use the rpm command to install each package. For example, the following three  
commands install versions of these three packages:  
rpm –i ucd-snmp-4.1.1-15smux.i386.rpm  
rpm –i ucd-snmp-utils-4.1.1-15smux.i386.rpm  
rpm –i dmi2snmp-1.0-15.i386.rpm  
6. Reboot the Linux server after you have installed all the packages.  
Installing ISC Server Instrumentation  
1. Insert the Software Kit CD into the Linux server CD ROM reader.  
2. Mount the CD using either of the following methods:  
Enter the mount command as follows:  
mount /mnt/cdrom  
Use the Disk Management utility. To invoke this utility click the Start button, select  
System, and then select the Disk Management menu option.  
3. List the contents of the Software Kit CD and make sure the ISC install packages and scripts are  
on the CD. You can locate these packages in the /Software/Linux directory. Use the following  
commands to move to that directory and list the files:  
cd /mnt/cdrom/Software/Linux  
ls  
Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control  
17  
 
You should see file names similar to the following:  
ipmidrvr-2.2.14.6.1.1smp-1.i386.rpm  
ipmidrvr-2.2.16.22smp-1.i386.rpm  
isc-3.1-1.i386.rpm  
installme  
4. Run the ISC install script from the directory you listed in the previous step by entering the  
following command at the command-line prompt:  
./installme  
5. Follow the instructions on your screen. The script prompts you to read and accept a license  
agreement. Next, the ISC install program determines the version of the Red Hat Linux kernel  
running on your server and installs the right version of the IPMI driver on your server. The  
script then proceeds to install the ISC package (e.g. isc-3.1-1.i386.rpm) on your server. In case  
the installation of the driver fails, the script displays appropriate error messages and then  
terminates without installing the ISC package.  
6. Reboot the Linux server when the command completes.  
Configuring the SNMP–DMI Mapper  
You must complete these steps if any SNMP management console (HP OpenView, CA UniCenter)  
will manage the Linux server.  
1. Verify that the dmi2snmp and ucd-snmp packages are installed. For example, the files  
dmi2snmp-10-15.i386.rpm and ucd-snmp-4.1.1-15smux.i386.rpm could represent  
the dmi2snmp and ucd-snmp packages, respectively.  
2. Open the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. You can use any available editor such as vi, emacs,  
or a linux editor.  
3. Add a trapsink line at the end of the file for each management console that receives traps from  
the managed server. Use the following syntax when adding the line:  
trapsink <myhost_name.domain.com>  
Be sure to substitute appropriate strings for the host name and domain.

Customizing NetWare Servers After Setup  
While installing PIC, the configuration and Setup program installs Adaptec and LSI (Symbios)  
SCSI, and Intel® LAN Adapter instrumentation on the NetWare server but does not enable the  
instrumentation support.  
To enable support for any or all instrumentation, you must edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the  
SYS:SYSTEM directory as follows:  
Add the line:  
rpsstart.ncf  
before the line:  
isc_on.ncf  
To enable the Adaptec SCSI instrumentation, remove the word REM from these lines:  
REM load simcinw.nlm  
REM load simcinw.nlm  
To enable the Intel LAN Adapter instrumentation, remove the word REM from this line:  
REM load e100bdmi.nlm /auto  
To enable the LSI (Symbios) SCSI instrumentation, remove the word REM from this line:  
REM load simcinw.nlm

Launching ISC  
ISC can be launched from and can manage your server from one of these enterprise management  
environments:  
LANDesk Server Manager (LDSM)  
HP Network Node Manager  
CA-Unicenter TNG  
Once the ISC application is launched from an enterprise management console, the management  
console application can terminate, and ISC will continue to operate normally.  
ISC can be launched from and can manage your server from a stand-alone ISC Console. The ISC  
Console can run as an executable program, as an ActiveX control within an Internet browser, or  
within Microsoft Management Console.  
®
LANDesk Server Manager  
The LANDesk Server Manager (LDSM) console dynamically builds its feature set when  
communication is established with a managed server. If the managed server is running the ISC, the  
LDSM console adds an option for “Intel Server Control” in the Tools branch of the LDSM  
navigation tree. Select this option to launch ISC.  
HP Network Node Manager  
The HP Network Node Manager Console autodetects servers running the ISC Server  
Instrumentation software. The Console updates the server bitmap with an ISC server icon for those  
servers.  
To launch the ISC applet, select an ISC-enabled server on the HP Console network map, and then  
select the “Intel Server Control Applet” option from the Tools Menu. Alternatively, you can launch  
ISC by selecting an ISC-enabled server on the HP console network map, clicking the right mouse  
button, and then selecting the “Intel Server Control” option from the popup menu.  
CA-Unicenter TNG  
The CA-Unicenter TNG Console autodetects servers running the ISC Server Instrumentation  
software if you have enabled the ISC to CA discovery service. To enable discovery, you must start  
the “Intel Tng-ISC AutoDiscovery” service. You can start this service from either the TNG  
Unicenter “Auto Discovery” dialog or from the Windows NT “Services” applet.  
The “Intel Tng-ISC AutoDiscovery” service creates a new “Intel Server Control” TNG object for  
each server having the ISC Server Instrumentation software. That TNG object displays on the map  
as a child of the “ISC World View” and as a child of the ISC-enabled server. You can view all  
ISC-enabled servers under the “ISC World View.”  
To launch ISC, right-click on an “Intel Server Control” icon, and select the “Launch ISC” option  
from the popup menu.

Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control  
 
Stand-alone ISC Console  
Use the stand-alone ISC Console to manage ISC-enabled servers without installing an enterprise  
management console application. The environment is implemented as an executable program; as  
an application within Microsoft Management Console; or as an ActiveX control that runs within a  
“container” application, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 5.0 or later, or Netscape  
Navigator, version 4.0 or later.  
To launch the stand-alone ISC Console in its own container, do the following:  
1. Click Start, and then point to Programs.  
2. Point to Intel server Control Tool, and then point to Intel Server Control.  
3. From the Start Menu in Windows, select Start->Programs->Intel Server Control->ISC-Console.  
Launching the ISC Console with Internet Browsers  
To launch the stand-alone ISC Console within a Web browser, do the following:  
1. Run the Internet Browser to be used as a “container” for the ISC Console.  
2. Within the browser, choose File->Open.  
3. Enter the ISC Console filename, specifying the full path to the file:  
%ISCPATH%\MI\EMC\IC\ISC.HTM  
The stand-alone ISC Console will be started as the active application within the default Web  
browser.  
Once the ISC Console is loaded, the location can be saved as a “Bookmark” (Netscape) or a  
“Favorite” (Internet Explorer) for easy access in later sessions.  
You may also:  
1. Locate the file using Windows Explorer, specifying the path:  
%ISCPATH%\MI\EMC\IC\ISC.HTM  
2. Double-click on the filename to launch the control within the default Web browser.  
NOTE  
✏  
Netscape Navigator requires a plug-in for viewing ActiveX applications.  
One that is known to work is ScriptActive, which is available from  
Ncompass Labs, Inc. (see http://www.ncompasslabs.com).

Launching the ISC Console with Microsoft Management Console  
To launch the stand-alone ISC Console within Microsoft Management Console (MMC), do the  
following:  
1. From a Start Menu in Windows or from the Start->Run selection, run MMC.  
2. Within MMC, choose File->Open.  
3. Enter the ISC Console filename, specifying the full path to the file:  
%ISCPATH%\MI\EMC\IC\ISC.MSC  
The ISC stand-alone application will be started as the active application within MMC. You may  
also:  
1. Locate the file using Windows Explorer, specifying the path:  
%ISCPATH%\MI\EMC\IC\ISC.MSC  
2. Double-click on the filename to launch the control within MMC.  
NOTE  
If you have not installed MMC on your console system, you can obtain it
