Verifying System Requirements Before installation begins, the installation utility verifies whether: • HP-UX/Linux/Windows: The operating system meets the minimum requirements. If HP SMH does not support the operating system on a system, an error message appears, indicating that an invalid operating system is found. • HP-UX/Linux/Windows: The user is logged in with administrator/root rights.
3 Initial Setup You can install the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows. Additionally, you can install HP SMH in-place using the Windows ProLiant Support Pack or the Linux RPM (Red Hat Package Manager), or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility or the Linux Deployment Utility. • For HP-UX Systems HP SMH is installed or updated using the HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) media or Applications media.
4 Installing on HP-UX This chapter provides steps to install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on the HP-UX Operating Environments (OEs): • “Installation Requirements” (page 17) • “Installing HP SMH and Dependent Applications” (page 18) • “Using the Applications Media” (page 19) • “Using Software Depot” (page 19) • “Configuring HP SMH” (page 20) • “Patching or Updating the Software” (page 21) To install HP SMH on HP-UX, you have several options: • Installing from the HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.
Installing HP SMH and Dependent Applications There are several applications that HP SMH requires and some that are optional. You may already have these applications installed on your system.
Using the Applications Media To install HP SMH and other HP Applications, you must have root privileges. These instructions assume you are installing from a DVD. 1. Mount the Applications DVD. To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD as a file system that HP-UX 11i can access: a. Determine the DVD device name. Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD devices. b. Create a mount point for the Applications DVD, if one does not yet exist.
Configuring HP SMH The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables that are set by /opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars and /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf scripts. To change the default configuration, you can modify the scripts to properly set the value of the following variables. Variable Description Script JAVA_HOME Points to the directory where JDK is installed. /opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars TIMEOUT_SMH Defines the SMH timeout in minutes. If it is /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.
If no options are specified, then smhstartconfig displays the current startup mode. The smhstartconfig command does not accept -a on and -b on options simultaneously. For more information, go to the smhstartconfig(1M) manpage: man smhstartconfig or man sam After changing the autostart mode to "on boot" (with the smhstartconfig -b on -a off command), without rebooting you can start the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server processes with the /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh start command.

You can find procedures on how to change the configuration variables in the previous chapters of this guide. 2. The first time you browse to this link, the Security Alert dialog box appears, asking you to indicate whether to trust the server. If you do not import the certificate, the Security Alert appears every time you browse to HP SMH.
4. 5. Enter the password that is recognized by the operating system. On HP-UX, click Sign In. On Linux and Windows, click Login. HP SMH appears.
Logging In from the HP-UX Command Line You can check whether the autostart daemon is running with the command: $ ps -ef | grep smh root 1789 1 0 Mar 31 ? 0:00 /opt/hpsmh/lbin/smhstartd If the daemon is not running, you can start it from the HP-UX command line using /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh autostart, then use a Web browser to navigate to http://hostname:2301. You can also use the samweb command to automatically start the default browser in the main HP SMH page.
11 Uninstalling HP SMH This chapter provides instructions on how to uninstall HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) from HP-UX, Linux, and Windows systems. It also provides instruction on how to uninstall it manually.
Uninstalling Manually for Windows Systems Uninstalling manually duplicates the actions of the HP SMH uninstaller, which can be accessed through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Use this procedure if you wish to completely uninstall HP SMH, and the uninstaller has been inadvertently removed or corrupted. Note: Items marked if present are present if there is an existing HP SMH 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 installation.
