System Administration Management Tool changes: SAM and HP SMH
HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP SMH is the
system administration tool for managing HP-UX 11i. HP SMH provides web-based systems
management functionality, at-a-glance monitoring of system component health and consolidated
log viewing. HP SMH also provides a Terminal User Interface (TUI). SAM continues to provide
access to TUI (Terminal User Interface) and X-based interfaces. More details on HP SMH are
available in the Next generation single-system management on HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) white paper
located at http://docs.hp.com/en/4AA0-4052ENW/4AA0-4052ENW.pdf.
Some of the key changes are described below:
• The SAM Functional Area Launcher (FAL) is replaced by the HP SMH web-based Graphical
User Interface (GUI).
• The enhanced TUI offers improved look and feel, online viewing of man pages, command
previews, and other improvements.
• For HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.131) only, a new command, smh(1m) is introduced (/usr/sbin/smh).
This is an enhanced version of the sam(1m) command (/usr/sbin/sam).
• The sam command in /usr/sbin/sam is deprecated. Any invocation of /usr/sbin/sam
will display the deprecation message and launch /usr/sbin/smh automatically.
