• Please note that Hewlett-Packard 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.
NOTE: If the problem still exists, run Configure ⇒ Configure or Repair Agents
against the managed node. Make sure SSH is working by selecting Configure Secure
Shell Access - Host Based authentication and then Relationship - Set to Trust by
Certificate.
This causes System Management Homepage to prompt you to accept the certificate the
first time you run it from HP SIM. After that, you should be able to launch System
Management Homepage without logging in again.
• You may see numerous unnecessary processes attributed to the System Management
Homepage startup daemon. The processes are instances of the smhstartd daemon and
smhredirect that may never finish and may even remain running when System
Management Homepage is shut down. To correct this problem, install the PHSS_34507
(HP-UX 11i v1) or PHSS_34508 (HP-UX 11i v2) patch, depending on your system. Please
note that in the HP System Management Homepage 2.2.3 release, this problem is corrected.
HP SMH 2.2 release for HP-UX
• HP SMH already uses the user and group name hpsmh. You should not use it for any other
purpose.
• The native HP-UX user authentication mechanism, which is used by the HP SMH login,
limits the length of user passwords to eight characters. When passwords longer than eight
characters are used, the exceeding characters are ignored.
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:
