The HP Web-enabled System Management Software is hardware-dependent. For the installation to complete successfully, your system must support at least 256 colors.
HP websites These HP websites are accessible from any system with a web browser and access to the Internet: • To download the latest software versions, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com. • For HP-UX operating systems, you can also find the software on the Software Depot home at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot. • For Linux and Windows operating systems, HP SMH is available in the ProLiant Support Pack and Integrity Support Pack.
2 Preparing to install HP SMH You can install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. You can install HP SMH locally using the Windows ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack or the Linux RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) on Windows or on Linux.
3 Installing HP SMH on an HP-UX operating system System Administration Management tool changes: SAM and HP SMH The HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP SMH is the system administration tool for managing HP-UX 11i. HP SMH provides web-based systems management functionality, at-a-glance monitoring of system component health, and consolidated log viewing. HP SMH also provides a Terminal User Interface (TUI). SAM continues to provide access to TUI and X-based interfaces.
Table 1 Bundle information (continued) Product Bundle HP-UX Apache-based Web Server hpuxws22Apache OpenSSL HP-UX Common System Management Enablers Path /opt/hpws22/ apache Required OpenSSL /opt/openssl Required SysMgmtBase usr/sam and /opt/ Required hpsmh/lib Release HP-UX 11i v3 NOTE: HP-UX 11i v3 version of the HP SMH can work either on Apache 2.0 or 2.2 server. HP-UX 11i v2, v3 /usr/conf or / usr/conf/lib/ librng.a, /usr/ share, /usr/ include, /sbin/ init.d,/sbin/ rc1.
Table 1 Bundle information (continued) Product Bundle Path Status Release on the Home page require it. WBEM Provider for FC HBAs FCProvider /opt/fcprovider/ Optional. HP SMH plug-ins such as Property Pages found on the Home page require it. HP-UX 11i v2, v3 WBEM Provider for SCSI HBA SCSIProvider /opt/ scsiprovider/ Optional. HP SMH plug-ins such as Property Pages found on the Home page require it. HP-UX 11i v2, v3 Java Java2 1.4 SDK for HP-UX (T1456AA) /opt/java1.4 Optional.
1. Mount the Applications DVD. To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD as a file system that HP-UX 11i can access: a. Determine the DVD device name. Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD devices. b. If one does not exist, create a mount point for the Applications DVD. The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point for the DVD. Often a /cdrom directory is used.
NOTE: When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh and group hpsmh is automatically added to the /etc/passwd file. If you are using LDAP or any other network service to manage user and group accounts, there might be a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) is already in use by the LDAP users, which can be confusing. The problem occurs in HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity systems.
Table 2 Variables and tags (continued) Variable Description Script timeout. When the "automatic startup on boot" startup mode is in use, the timeout mechanism does not start. TIMEOUT_TOMCAT This variable defines the Tomcat /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf timeout in minutes in the /opt/ hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf file. If it is defined, Tomcat istops after this time period has elapsed without any request to a Java web application.
NOTE: For autostart URL and automatic startup on boot, you can use http://hostname:2301. This is possible on an HP-UX operating system only. • Manual startup ◦ You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX CLI. Configure the startup mode of the HP SMH server and the Tomcat instance using /opt/ hpsmh/bin/smhstartconfig script. Syntax: smhstartconfig [ -a {on|off} -b {on|off} ] [ -t {on|off} ] Options: ◦ -a {on|off} Enable or disable the autostart URL mode.
For a detailed guide on how to patch your HP-UX operating system, see the Patch Management User Guide for HP-UX 11.x Systems on the HP Technical Documentation website at http:// www.hp.com/go/hpux-core-docs.

6 Installing HP SMH directly on Linux operating systems Installation for Linux on x86 and x86_64 operating systems The HP SMH installation for Linux enables you to silently install HP SMH on x86 and x86_64 operating systems. After the installation is complete, you can configure the HP SMH settings. NOTE: To install HP SMH, you must log in as root user. NOTE: HP SMH already uses the user and group name hpsmh. Do not use the hpsmh user and group name for any other purpose.
NOTE: If the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) are already being used by the LDAP users, there may be a conflict when you use LDAP or any other network service to manage user and group accounts. To avoid this conflict, add a local hpsmh user and group using a unique UID and GID (IDs not in use by LDAP or the other network services) manually before installing the HP SMH. 1. 2. Determine the available reserved IDs for the group (for example: 130) and for the user (for example: 125).
7 Initializing the software for the first time After you have installed and configured HP SMH for the first time, a process to create a private key and corresponding self-signed Base64-encoded certificate is initiated. This certificate is a Base64-encoded PEM file. Key and certificate information • In HP-UX operating systems, both public and private keys for HP SMH are stored in the /var/ opt/hpsmh/sslshare directory. The files are called file.pem (private key) and cert.pem (server certificate).
8 Signing in and signing out of HP SMH Signing in with Microsoft Windows XP If HP SMH is installed on a Microsoft Windows XP® system, you must enable the following security option to sign in to HP SMH: 1. Select Control Panel ⇒ Administrative Tools ⇒ Local Security Policy. The Local Security Settings dialog box appears. 2. Select Local Policies. 3. Select Security Options. 4. Right-click Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts and select Properties.
Signing in with Microsoft Internet Explorer 1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/. To avoid an active scripting error, HP recommends that you add the HP SMH web address to Internet Explorer Trusted Sites. To add HP SMH to Internet Explorer trusted sites: a. From Internet Explorer, click Tools ⇒ Internet Options. b. Click the Security tab. The Security tab appears. c. Select the Trusted sites icon. d. Click Sites.... The Trusted sites dialog box appears. e.
Signing in with Mozilla and Firefox 1. Navigate to https://hostname:2381/. If you use Mozilla or Firefox to browse to an HP-UX system, then you can use port 2381 if you changed the default configuration to have autostart disabled and start on boot enabled. If you keep the default-installed configuration, you can use the following URL: http://hostname:2301/ By default, HP-UX is installed with the autostart feature enabled.
Apache-based web server will again start on port 2381 (https). If autostart is configured, the HP-UX Apache-based web server times out automatically after 30 minutes (default setting). For more information, go to the hpsmh(1m) manpage: man hpsmh.
9 Uninstalling HP SMH Uninstalling from an HP-UX operating system To uninstall HP SMH on an HP-UX operating system, use the following swremove command: swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false SysMgmtHomepage This method is recommended for uninstalling HP SMH. Uninstalling from a Itanium-based Linux, x86 or x86_64 operating system To uninstall HP SMH: Run the following command: rpm -e hpsmh NOTE: When the HP SMH is uninstalled, where HP SMH directory is /opt/hp/hpsmh, the HP SMH directory is not deleted.
1. 2. Stop the HP SMH service. Execute the uninstall.bat from the command prompt to uninstall the HP SMH application. The uninstall.bat file is available at the loction c:\hp\hpsmh\uninstall.bat. NOTE: The uninstaller uninstall.bat batch file is shipped along with the HP SMH package. Uninstalling manually for Windows and Linux operating systems Uninstalling manually duplicates the actions of the HP SMH uninstaller, which can be accessed through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
