Server Control (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 Setup Utility (SSU) and set the appropriate options under System Management Options.

Server Manager (LDSM)
If you have an earlier version of LDSM on your network, be aware of the following:
• 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.
