Prepare for FIST SMS installation
|
|
IMPORTANT: · To allow FIST to manage a server through FIST SMS, disable the firewall on the server or add port 12580 and port 6900 to the allowlist of the firewall after FIST SMS is installed. · FIST SMS can be installed only on physical servers. |
Table 1 shows the requirements for installing FIST SMS on a server.

Install and start FIST SMS
Obtain the FIST SMS installation package
Download the FIST SMS installation package from Support > Software Download > Servers > Software package page of a server model on the H3C website.
Install and start FIST SMS
|
|
IMPORTANT: As a best practice, do not run FIST SMS and FIST server simultaneously in the operating system. |
If a server is managed by FIST as an HDM server node, you can install FIST SMS on the server remotely through FIST. For information about the procedure, see H3C Servers FIST User Guide.
The following information describes the procedure for installing and starting FIST SMS on a server locally.
Install and start FIST SMS in Windows
Install FIST SMS in Windows
1. Save the installation package of FIST SMS to the installation directory on the server, as shown in Figure 2. This example uses version 1.03.08.

FIST-related functions
Performance monitoring
After a server that has FIST SMS installed is added to FIST, you can view the server's physical resource usage information in FIST. FIST collects the CPU usage, disk space usage, memory usage, and network throughput statistics of managed FIST SMS server nodes at 30-second monitor intervals. You can view the past 30 days' resource usage data for a server in FIST.
Figure 19 shows the performance monitoring page of a FIST SMS server node in FIST. See Table 3 for descriptions of the charts on the page.
