EMC SMARTS Service

Hi Mike,

Global console used to be the super-console although nowadays you can do pretty much everything with the webconsole. One of the issues with the webconsole was triggering client tools but that is solved since version 6.5.3 (i believe).
Licenses are also another difference, global is licensed per one console and web access is licensed per bundles.
Server load may be impacted too, it does indeed depends on the number of current consoles you are intended to deploy

Hi, Thanks F,

This is quite helpful information. How do I get to tell the version of SMARTS that iss running? and apart from contacting the vendor.. how do I tell the number of weblogins licenced or global consoles authorised?

U r welcome,

in order to get the version

sm_server --version

if you want to get the number of licensed consoles check yur license file (smarts.lic) under SMARTS dir local/conf

global console
check for a line with the following text
INCREMENT AD_CONSOLE sm_lmgrd92 7.0 permanent 1 xxxxxxx \
DUP_GROUP=SITE SN=xxxxxxxx 2 TS_OK
the number after permanent states the number of licensed consoles, if there is more than one line means more than one licensed console too. just sum them afterwards

for the web console check for

INCREMENT FT_WEBCONSOLE sm_lmgrd92 7.0 permanent 1 xxxxxxx \
DUP_GROUP=SITE SN=xxxxxxxx TS_OK
same procedure

this is as far as i know becasue the logic it's strange, because counting my webconsoles i got up to 2527

cheers

F.
