HP Insight Management Agents 8.40 Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux HOW TO Whitepaper

Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux – HOWTO v8.40

System Management Homepage, previously called ProLiant Management Agents, installed using a

standard Web browser. The HP System Management Homepage responds to port 2381 (if the installed

browser supports SSL encryption). For example, point the browser to

https://192.1.1.20:2381 or

https://localhost:2381 (the "https://" portion of the address is required).

The HP System Management Homepage allows you to view subsystem and status information from a Web

browser, either locally or remotely.

Tip:

To install System Management Homepage (hpsmh) you must be logged in as “root”. See the hpsmh Installation Guide

The information that hp-snmp-agents makes available through SNMP can be viewed in the HP System

Management Homepage. The HP System Management Homepage Templates (hp-smh-templates) package

provides the necessary files to link the SNMP data to the HP System Management Homepage. hp-snmp-

agents and hpsmh are prerequisites for installing the hp-smh-templates.

1-7 Systems Insight Manager

HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) combines the strengths of Insight Manager 7, HP Toptools, and HP

Servicecontrol Manager to deliver a single tool for managing HP ProLiant, Integrity, and HP 9000 systems

running Linux and other operating systems. The core HP SIM software uses WBEM to deliver the essential

capabilities required to manage all HP server platforms.

HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins for HP clients, storage, power, and

printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management, capacity management, virtual machine

management, and partition management through the Integrity Essentials enable you to pick the value-

added software required to deliver complete lifecycle management for your hardware assets.

For installation information, see the SIM Linux Installation and Configuration Guide available under

Install and configure section at HP Systems Insight Manager Information library
