Installation for Linux on IA-32 and x86_64
The HP SMH installation for Linux enables you to silently install HP SMH on IA-32 and x86_64 systems. After
the installation is complete, you can configure the HP SMH settings.
NOTE To install HP SMH, you must be logged in as root user.
Installing HP SMH on Linux IA_32 Systems
To install HP SMH on IA_32 systems, your system must meet the minimum requirements. For more information
regarding minimum requirements, refer to Chapter 2. Installation Requirements . In addition, you must
have the hpsmh-2.0.0.linux.i386.rpm.
Note: The general 32-bit RPM List is not installed by default.
To install HP SMH, enter the following command line:
