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 RPM
Package Manager (RPM) 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 that configuration data
to one or more target systems. In addition, some HP SMH parameters are replicable through HP SIM. For
more information regarding Replicate Agent Settings, see “Creating a Replicate Agent Settings task”.
