1 smit and smitty refer to the same program, though smitty invokes the text-based

version, while smit will invoke an X Window System based interface if possible; however,

if smit determines that X Window System capabilities are not present, it will present the text-based version instead of failing.

Determination of X Window System capabilities is typically performed by

checking for the existence of the DISPLAY variable.

Distributed operating system - System management components

1 System management components are software processes that define the node's policies. These components are the part of

the OS outside the kernel. These components provide higher-level

communication, process and resource management, reliability, performance and

security. The components match the functions of a single-entity system, adding the transparency required in a distributed

environment.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

System Management Bus

1 The 'System Management Bus' (abbreviated to 'SMBus' or 'SMB') is a Single-ended signalling|single-ended simple two-wire Bus (computing)|bus

for the purpose of lightweight communication. Most commonly it is found in computer motherboards for

communication with the power source for ON/OFF instructions.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 18: System Management

System Management Bus

1 It is derived from I²C for communication with low-bandwidth

devices on a motherboard, especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable battery subsystem (see Smart Battery

System). Other devices might include temperature, fan or voltage sensors,

lid switches and clock chips. PCI add-in cards may connect to a SMBus

segment.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 19: System Management

System Management Bus

1 A device can provide manufacturer information, indicate its model/part number,

save its state for a suspend event, report different types of errors, accept control

parameters and return status. The SMBus is generally not user configurable or

accessible. Although SMBus devices usually can't identify their functionality, a new Power

Management Bus|PMBus coalition has extended SMBus to include conventions

allowing that.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 20: System Management

System Management Bus

1 The SMBus was defined by Intel in 1995. It carries clock, data, and

instructions and is based on Philips' I²C serial bus protocol. Its clock

frequency range is 10kHz to 100kHz. (PMBus extends this to 400kHz.) Its voltage levels and timings are more strictly defined than those of I²C, but

devices belonging to the two systems are often successfully mixed

on the same bus.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 21: System Management

1 SMBus is used as an interconnect in several platform management

standards including: Alert Standard Format|ASF, Desktop and mobile

System Management Bus - SMBus/I²C Interoperability

1 While SMBus is derived from I²C, there are several major differences

between the specifications of the two busses in the areas of electricals, timing, protocols and operating

modes. smbus.org nxp.com 090429 maxim-ic.com

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 23: System Management

System Management Bus - Input Voltage (VIL and VIH)

1 When mixing devices, the I²C specification defines the VDD to be

5.0V ±10% and the fixed input levels to be 1.5 and 3.0V. Instead of

relating the bus input levels to VDD, SMBus defines them to be fixed at

0.8 and 2.1V. This SMBus specification allows for bus

implementations with VDD ranging from 3 to 5V.

System Management Bus - Sink Current (IOL)

1 SMBus has a ‘High Power’ version 2.0 that includes a 4 mA sink current that cannot be driven by I²C chips

unless the pull-up resistor is sized to I²C-bus levels.

Page 28: System Management

System Management Bus - Frequency (FMAX and FMIN)

1 The SMBus clock is defined from 10–100kHz while I²C can be 0–100kHz, 0–400kHz, 0–1MHz and 0–3.4MHz,

depending on the mode. This means that an I²C bus running at less than 10kHz will not be SMBus compliant since the SMBus devices may time

out. Many SMBus devices will however support lower frequencies.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Page 29: System Management

System Management Bus - Timing

1 *SMBus defines a clock low time-out, TIMEOUT of 35ms. I²C does not specify any

timeout limit.

System Management Bus - SMBus protocols

1 Each message transaction on SMBus follows the format of one of the defined SMBus

protocols. The SMBus protocols are a subset of the data transfer formats defined in the I²C specifications. I²C devices that can be

accessed through one of the SMBus protocols are compatible with the SMBus

specifications. I²C devices that do not adhere to these protocols cannot be accessed by

standard methods as defined in the SMBus and ACPI specifications.

Page 38: System Management

System Management Bus - Address Resolution Protocol

1 The SMBus uses I²C hardware and I²C hardware addressing, but adds

second-level software for building special systems. In particular its specifications include an Address Resolution Protocol that can make

dynamic address allocations.

1 ‘hot-plugged’ and used immediately, without restarting the system. The

devices are recognized automatically and assigned unique addresses. This advantage results in a plug-and-play

user interface. In both those protocols there is a very useful

distinction made between a System Host and all the other devices in the system that can have the names and

functions of masters or slaves.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

means that there is a problem on the bus and that all devices must reset in

order to clear this mode. Slave devices are not then allowed to hold

IBM System Management Facilities

1 'IBM System Management Facility (SMF)' is a component of IBM's z/OS for

Mainframe_computer|mainframe computers, providing a standardised method for writing out records of activity to a file (or data set to

use a z/OS term). SMF provides full instrumentation of all baseline activities

1 SMF forms the basis for many monitoring and automation utilities. Each SMF record

has a numbered type (e.g. SMF 120 or SMF 89), and installations have great control over how much or how little SMF data to collect. Records written by software other than IBM products generally have a record type of 128 or higher. Some record types

have subtypes - for example Type 70 Subtype 1 records are written by RMF to

1 * The relatively new way: Using log streams. SMF utilizes System Logger

to record collected data, which improves the writing rate and avoids

buffer shortages. It has more flexibility, allowing the z/OS system

to straightforwardly record to multiple log streams, and (using keywords on the dump program)

allowing z/OS to read a set of SMF data once and write it many times.

1 This data is then periodically dumped to sequential files (for example, tape drives) using the IFASMFDP SMF Dump Utility (or

IFASMFDL when using log streams). IFASMFDP can also be used to split existing SMF sequential files and copy them to other files. The two dump programs produce the

same output, so it does not involve changes in the SMF records elaboration chain, other than changing the JCL with the call of the

1 For example, anecdotal information on grizzly bear abundance dates to

the mid-19th century, and administrators have made informal population estimates for more than

70 years. From these sources, ecologists know the species was

common in Greater Yellowstone when Europeans arrived and that the

population was not isolated before the 1930s, but is now. Researchers do not know if bears were more or

less common than now.

1 A 1959-1970 bear study suggested a grizzly bear population size of about

176, later revised to about 229.http://biology.usgs.gov/s+t/noframe/r114.htm#23489 Later estimates

have ranged as low as 136 and as high as 540; the most recent is a

minimum estimate of 236.http://biology.usgs.gov/s+t/noframe/r114.htm#23525 Although the Greater Yellowstone population is

relatively close to recovery goals, the plan's definition of recovery is

controversial

1 Early accounts of pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in Greater

Yellowstone described herds of hundreds seen ranging through most

major valley|river valleys. These populations were decimated by

1900, and declines continued among remaining herds. On the park's

northern range, pronghorn declined from 500-700 in the 1930s to about 122 in 1968. By 1992 the herd had

increased to 536.

1 Among plants, whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is a species of special

interest, in large part because of its seasonal importance to grizzly bears,

but also because its distribution could be dramatically reduced by relatively minor global warming

thermophilic bacteria. These bacteria have been useful in studies of the evolution of

photosynthesis and as sources of thermostable enzymes for molecular

biology. Although the smell of sulfur is common and there are some sulfur fixing

cyanobacteria, it has been found that hydrogen is being used as an energy source

by extremophile microbes.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-system-management-toolkit.html

Ecosystem management

1 Several approaches to effective ecosystem management engage

conservation efforts at both a local or landscape level and involves:

adaptive management, natural resource management, strategic management, and command and

control management.

Ecosystem management - Formulations

1 The definitions of ecosystem management are typically vague.Lackey (1998) Several core principles define and bound the concept and provide operational meaning: (1) ecosystem management reflects a stage in the

continuing evolution of social values and priorities; it is neither a beginning nor an end; (2) ecosystem management is place-based and the boundaries

of the place must be clearly and formally defined; (3) ecosystem management should maintain ecosystems in the appropriate condition to achieve desired social benefits; (4) ecosystem management should take

advantage of the ability of ecosystems to respond to a variety of stressors, natural and man-made, but all ecosystems have limited ability to

accommodate stressors and maintain a desired state; (5) ecosystem management may or may not result in emphasis on biological diversity; (6) the term sustainability, if used at all in ecosystem management, should be clearly defined—specifically, the time frame of concern, the benefits and costs of concern, and the relative priority of the Economics|benefits and costs; and (7) scientific information is important for effective ecosystem

management, but is only one element in a decision-making process that is fundamentally one of public and .Lackey (1998)

Traditional ecological knowledge - Ecosystem management theory

1 Ecosystem management is a multifaceted and holistic approach to natural resource

management. It incorporates both science and traditional ecological knowledge to

collect data from long term measures that science cannot. This is achieved by scientists

and researchers collaborating with Indigenous peoples through a consensus

decision-making process while meeting the socioeconomic, political and cultural needs of

current and future generations.
