HP SMH 2.1.6 release for Windows and Linux
• The HP SMH interface times out too quickly or not as quickly as required.
HP SMH 2.1.5 and later provides a way for users to configure the GUI timeout.
To modify this setting:
1. As a precautionary measure, copy the existing smhpd.xml file into a different directory.
2. Manually add the tag:
a. Open the smhpd.xml in the \hp\hpsmh\conf directory on the boot drive with a text editor.
b. Add the following line between the <system-management-homepage> and
</system-management-homepage> tags:
<ui-timeout>any value between 10 and 3600 </ui-timeout>
c. Save the file.
3. Restart the HP SMH service.
HP SMH 2.1.4 release for Windows and Linux
