The following information describes how to install and upgrade FIST SMS.
Screenshots in this section are for illustration only. They might vary as the software version changes.
FIST SMS is a service program running in the OS of a server to collect server failure information and send the information to HDM and UniSystem for fault isolation. FIST SMS can cooperate with UniSystem and REPO to complete firmware and driver update.
You can upgrade FIST SMS in both Linux and Windows.
Installing and upgrading FIST SMS in Linux
Online upgrade of FIST SMS is not supported in Linux. Before you upgrade FIST SMS in Linux, first stop FIST SMS.
Installing FIST SMS in Linux
1.Download the installation package of FIST SMS and copy the package to the root directory of the server. This example uses FIST SMS of version 1.03.08.
2.Execute the tar -xf FIST_SMS-1.03.08.tar.gz command and press Enter to decompress the installation package, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 2 Decompressing the FIST SMS installation package
Upgrading FIST SMS in Linux
1.Execute the cd /FIST SMS/LinuxService/bin command to enter the directory where FIST SMS starts.
2.Execute the chmod 755 UNInstallApp-NT.sh command and press Enter to make the FIST SMS service script file executable. Then, execute the /UNInstallApp-NT.sh command to stop and uninstall FIST SMS.
3.Copy the new installation package of FIST SMS to the root directory of the server.
4.Execute the cd /FIST_SMS/LinuxService/bin command to enter the directory where FIST SMS starts.
5.Execute the chmod 755 InstallApp-NT.sh command and press Enter to make the FIST SMS service script file executable.
6.Execute the ./InstallApp-NT.sh command to install and start FIST SMS.
If the environment meets the requirements, FIST SMS starts correctly. If the environment does not meet the requirement, the system prompts an error and quits.
Installing and upgrading FIST SMS in Windows
Installing FIST SMS in Windows
1.Copy the downloaded installation package of FIST SMS to the directory of the server to install FIST SMS, as shown in Figure 2. This example uses version 1.03.08.

You can start FIST SMS by using one of the following methods:
Method 1—Start FIST SMS directly by double clicking the run.bat file as shown in Figure 3. FIST SMS will stop running after a system reboot.
Method 2—Use the registry to start FIST SMS. FIST SMS will keep running after a system reboot. As a best practice, use this method.
To use method 2, perform the following steps:
a.Enter the \WindowsServices\bin directory of FIST SMS, as shown in Figure 4, and then double-click the InstallApp-NT.bat script file.
Figure 5 Entering the \WindowsServices\bin directory
b.In the window that opens, register and start FIST SMS.

Upgrading FIST SMS in Windows
The method to upgrade FIST SMS in Windows varies by start method.
If FIST SMS is started by using the run.bat script file, perform the following steps to upgrade FIST SMS:
1.Stop the run.bat script file from running.
2.Copy the installation package of the new software version to a new directory of the server and decompress the package.
3.Double-click the run.bat script file in the new directory of FIST SMS.
If FIST SMS is started by using the registry, perform the following steps to upgrade FIST SMS:
1.Enter the \WindowsServices\bin directory of FIST SMS, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 9 Entering the \WindowsServices\bin directory
2.Double-click the UninstallApp-NT.bat script file to uninstall FIST SMS, as shown in Figure 9.
