HP System Management Homepage
HP SIM enables you to access the HP SMH of a system. The HP SMH is a web-based application
that provides a consolidated interface for single-system management. By aggregating data from
HP web-based agents and management utilities, the HP SMH provides a common, easy-to-use
interface for displaying hardware fault and status monitoring, performance data, system thresholds,
diagnostics, and software version control for an individual server.
You can install HP SMH on Windows and Linux operating systems. On x86, the Setup Wizard
performs the installation of the HP SMH and enables you to set the security options used by all
Web Agents on the system. On Linux Itanium Processor Family (IPF), HP SMH can be installed with
default settings through an HP Insight Control server deployment package and configured by the
smhconfig tool.
The HP SMH Replicate Agent Settings feature enables HP SIM to retrieve a set of configuration
data from HP Web-enabled System Management Software on a reference system and distribute
