HP System Management Homepage Release Notes, June 2007

1 Features
The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for HP-UX, Linux, and Windows provides
the following features. They apply to all releases, except where noted.
Product features

SSL.

Partition Manager
To start Partition Manager, a user with Administrator (root) privileges can run the parmgr
command with the -b option to bypass the authentication step under HP SMH. To use this
feature on HP-UX 11i v1, you must install KRNG11i, the Strong Random Number Generator
software for HPUX 11i v1, available from the Software Depot web site at http://www.hp.com/
go/softwaredepot.
Available IP addresses
In HP-UX only, when autostart mode is enabled, any access made through port 2301 detects a
change in the list of available IP addresses. In previous releases, SMH would only be accessible
using the IP addresses defined at system startup. If new IP addresses were defined then SMH
would have to be restarted to use them.
With this new SMH feature, any configuration change in the list of available IP addresses, in
clustered and non-clustered environments, would automatically reconfigure SMH, restarting it
when needed. Environment changes such as enabling a new network card, adding ifconfig aliases,
or a cluster package failover would trigger this feature.
Alternatively, you can disable this feature by adding the following line to the
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml file:
<monitor-ip-changes>0</monitor-ip-changes>

Interface (GUI).
