What are the PMAC application processes?

The PMAC application processes are as follows:

• smacMon

  Monitors each provisioned enclosure in the system and executes and monitors the background tasks (for example, Install OS) that are initiated by users via the PMAC GUI.

• smacTalk

  Responds to all requests from the PMAC GUI. Its primary responsibilities are to validate incoming provisioning requests, update provisioning databases, collect data for user queries, and initiate background tasks.

• hpiPortAudit

  For each enclosure provisioned in PMAC, an openhpi daemon is created to monitor and communicate with the Onboard Administrators on that enclosure. The hpiPortAudit process monitors the health of each of the openhpi daemons and ensures that one is running for each enclosure provisioned in the PMAC database.

• snmpEventHandler

  Processes the SNMP traps received from server blades after a successful Install OS operation.

• eclipseHelp

  Launches the PMAC online help and restarts the help automatically when the PMAC server restarts.
