HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, December 2005

3 Initial Setup
You can install the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and
Windows.
Additionally, you can install HP SMH in-place using the Windows ProLiant Support Pack or the Linux RPM
(Red Hat Package Manager), or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the ProLiant Remote Deployment
Utility or the Linux Deployment Utility.
• For HP-UX Systems
HP SMH is installed or updated using the HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) media or Applications
media. You do not have to configure any settings to run the product.
For HP-UX, the configuration settings are preserved in the /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
file.
• For Linux Systems
HP SMH is installed by an RPM package without asking you to configure any settings. After the
installation is complete, run the perl script utility to set the security options used by all of the HP Insight
Management Agents on the system. Otherwise default values are used for these settings.
For Linux systems, the configuration settings are carried over from the
/opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml file, and the wizard initiates the configuration.
• For Windows Systems
The configuration settings are carried over from the\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml file, and the wizard
initiates the configuration.
NOTE If a Management HTTP Server is currently installed on the machine, the configuration settings are
carried over to that system.
If HP Systems Insight Manager is installed after HP SMH is installed, the HP SMH 2048-bit key pair will be
replaced with the HP Systems Insight Manager 1024-bit key pair.
