HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, December 2006
-t <on|off> Set the Tomcat startup mode where:
on Start Tomcat when HP SMH starts.
off Start Tomcat on demand (default).
If no options are specified, then smhstartconfig displays the current startup mode. The
smhstartconfig command does not accept -a on and -b on options simultaneously.
For more information, see the smhstartconfig(1M) manpage: man smhstartconfig or man sam
After changing the autostart mode to "on boot" (with the smhstartconfig -b on -a off
command), without rebooting you can start the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server processes with
the /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh start command.

System management tool changes
The HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) has been enhanced to provide Web interfaces using
the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH). HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is HP's solution
for multi-system management and HP SMH is for single-system management. Customers can seamlessly
move from multi-system views in HP SIM to more detailed single-system information in HP SMH.
HP SMH is the launch point for all single system Web-based management applications. HP SMH also
provides at-a-glance monitoring of system component health and consolidated log viewing. SAM continues
to provide access to TUI (Terminal User Interface) and X-based interfaces. More details on HP SMH for
HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) is available in a white paper located at
http://docs.hp.com/en/4AA0-4052ENW/4AA0-4052ENW.pdf.
