HP System Management Homepage Release Notes, June 2006

3 Known Issues
This chapter contains known issues with the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) releases. HP
SMH undergoes rigorous testing before releasing any given version of the product. From HP test activities
to date, the following items have been uncovered that you should keep in mind.
HP SMH 2.2.3 release for HP-UX
• This release corrects the 2.2.2 release problem of numerous unnecessary processes attributed to the
System Management Homepage startup daemon.
• If you used or will use Bastille to configure an IPFilter-based firewall, either with the Bastille GUI or by
selecting the Sec20MngDMZ or Sec30DMZ Install-Time Security levels, you will only be able to access
System Management Homepage from the local system.
To access System Management Homepage remotely, perform these steps:
1. Add the following rules to the /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/ipf.customrules file:
• pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 2301 Flags S keep state keep frags
• pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 2381 Flags S keep state keep frags
2. Run bastille -b.
You must run the command with the Bastille configuration file in place at
/etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/config. This directs Bastille to configure the firewall. See
the bastille(1m) manpage for details.
HP SMH 2.2.2 release for HP-UX
• The following warning occurs when you use HP-UX Bastille to disable the Apache server on a system
that has an System Management Homepage instance of Apache running. The warning confirms that
the Bastille configuration you selected does not affect the System Management Homepage Apache
server. To continue to run the System Management Homepage Apache server, ignore this message;
otherwise, you can disable the System Management Homepage Apache server manually.
WARNING: The following processes were still running even though
the corresponding service appears to be turned off.
Bastille question and action will be skipped.

• Please note that we did not reissue the HP-UX documentation (online help, install guide, and release
notes) for this release. The December 2005 release documentation can be used for this March 2006
release.
• If you are logging in to System Management Homepage from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM),
but the System Management Homepage page never appears, then you need to modify a setting in HP
SIM so that is always uses a fully qualified name in the URI. For example, in the browser you would
only see the hostname:2381 at the end of the URI instead of the
fully_qualified_hostname:2381.
To configure HP SIM to always use a fully qualified hostname when logging in to System Management
Homepage:
1. Select Options ⇒ Security ⇒ System Link Configuration.
2. Click Use the system's full DNS name. Click OK.
System Management Homepage should launch correctly.
