Managing ProLiant servers with Linux HOWTO

1-5 HP System Management Homepage (hpsmh)
The HP System Management Homepage is a web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies
single system management for HP servers running Linux operating systems. The System Management
Homepage aggregates and displays data from Web Agents and other HP Web-enabled System
Management Software that includes HP Insight Diagnostics, the Array Configuration Utility, and the
HP Software Version Control Agents. The System Management Homepage enables IT administrators
to view in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds,
diagnostics, and software version control information using a single intuitive interface.
Additional information about Insight Management Agents is available at
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/index.html.
Customers without automatic monitoring tools can view status information for servers that have the HP
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 for detailed information at

1-6 HP System Management Homepage Templates (hp-smh-templates)
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 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 "Installing on Linux" section of the HP Systems Insight Manager
Installation and User Guide, which is available for download at
