SMASH & DASH Overview

Jon Hass, Dell

Jeff Hilland, Hewlett Packard

This session will provide an overview of SMASH & DASH, including their differences and their similarities.  The presentation will include architectural models and implementation requirements, including the protocol requirements for the SM CLP and WS-Management and a brief discussion of the profiles.

SMASH & DASH Profiles, part I - existing modeling

Jon Hass, Dell
Hemal Shah, Broadcom

This presentation will provide an overview of existing modeling referenced by the SMASH & DASH Implementation Requirements Specifications.  This will include Computer System Profiles (such as Base Desktop & Mobile, Base Server and Service Processor as well as Modular System), Device Profiles (such as CPU, Memory and Fan), Services (such as CLP Service and Boot), Networking (IP, DNS, DHCP) as well as Physical Asset, Logs and Software/Firmware related profiles.

SMASH & DASH Profiles, part II - new modeling

Joel Clark, Intel

Steve Hand, Symantec

This presentation will provide an overview of some of the new modeling referenced by the SMASH & DASH Implementation Requirements Specifications.  This will include the Enabled Logical Element Profile and it's affect on future profiles and Standard Messaging and Eventing.  It will also cover the new Service Profiles, such as the Redirection Service Profiles (KVM, USB and Text Console) as well as the new Device Profiles (including PCI, TPM, LED and Battery)

SMASH & DASH Profiles, part III - BIOS & Opaque Data

David Hines, Intel

Joe Kozlowski, Dell

This presentation will provide an overview of some of the new modeling referenced by the SMASH & DASH Implementation Requirements Specifications.  This session will largely focus on the BIOS model and profile as well as the Opaque Data model and profile.

SMASH & DASH Profiles, part IV - Power Management Profiles

Khachatur Papanyan, Dell

This presentation will provide an overview of some of the new modeling referenced by the SMASH & DASH Implementation Requirements Specifications.  This session will largely focus on the modeling of power management such as power redundancy, consumption and allocation models.

SMASH & DASH Panel Discussion

Moderator: Jeff Hilland, Hewlett Packard

Talk with the presenters and authors of SMASH & DASH Implementation Requirements and Profiles Specifications as well as the leaders of the Systems Management Forum.  Bring in your questions on the standards, compliance & interoperability, messaging or any other subject related to SMASH & DASH in the DMTF.

Introducing the Systems Management Forum (SMF)

Will Pagán, IBM
Bob Blair, AMD

The Systems Management Forum was founded in 2007 to replace and surpass the mission of the SMASH Forum.  This newly formed DMTF Forum is chartered to develop test methodologies and tools to ensure that vendors create systems management implementations that are conformant to the SMASH and DASH initiatives.  This session will present the work and progress of the Systems Management Forum, along with a look into the processes and tools being developed to evaluate implementations for conformance.
