HP System Management Homepage Release Notes, June 2007

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. Please also refer to the HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide and HP System
Management Homepage Online Help for known issues.
HP SMH 2.2.6 release for HP-UX
• dtterm is not present on an HP-UX 11i system.
The Xlaunch text informs the user that some web-based applications require X11 to run.
• Access to HP SMH is denied during login, or, if login is allowed execution of HP SMH tools
fail with a "no authorization" error.
This problem can occur when the /var filesystem is full. In order to fix it, it is necessary to
increase the available space in the /var filesystem by removing unneeded files or extending
the filesystem.
HP SMH 2.1.8 release for Windows and Linux
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5) has introduced a new set of targets on targeted policy
in SELinux, resulting in a more restrictive system. During the HP SMH installation on this
environment under graphical interface (X11) a "balloon" shows up with the information
AVC denial.
The workaround to avoid this message is creating a local policy to the SELinux. The Linux
box root should create a file called hpsmh.te with the following content:
module hpsmh 1.0;
require {
class file { read write };
type useradd_t;
type var_log_t;
role system_r;
};
allow useradd_t var_log_t:file { read write };
This should be executed as follows:
checkmodule -M -m -o hpsmh.mod hpsmh.te
semodule_package -o hpsmh.pp -m hpsmh.mod
semodule -i hpsmh.pp
The last command loads the module to the Linux kernel. At this point the administrator
(root) is able to install hpsmh under SELinux:
rpm -i hpsmh-2.1.8.175.....rpm
HP SMH 2.2.5 release for HP-UX
• When HP SMH is accessed through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) and HP SIM is
running on the same system as HP SMH, the web browser may present multiple certificate
warnings.
In order to avoid the multiple certificate warnings, you can import both the HP SIM and
HP SMH certificates into the web browser. For Internet Explorer, this can be done by selecting
HP SMH 2.2.6 release for HP-UX 23
