Chapter 4.
Installing on HP-UX Installing System Management Homepage and Dependent Applications There are several applications that System Management Homepage requires and some that are optional. You may already have these applications installed on your system.
Installing on HP-UX Product Bundle Tag Path Status Release OpenSSL OpenSSL /opt/openssl Required HP-UX 11i V1 and V2 If you do not have these applications on your system, you can use the following resources to install them before or after you instal System Management Homepage: ● If you installed or updated HP-UX 11i V1 (B.11.11) from the AR media or HP-UX 11i V2 (B.11.23) from the AR or OE media, then the applications were default installed.
Installing on HP-UX 2. To determine which products and versions are on your system, use the swlist command: /usr/sbin/swlist -l product 3. Use swinstall to install software from the Application DVD. The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /cdrom: /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom bundlename Refer to the swinstall(1M) manpage for details. 4. Select and install software from the Application DVD.
Installing on HP-UX Tip: After the installation is complete, you can start using the System Management Homepage immediately. Configuring System Management Homepage The HP-UX System Management Homepage 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.
Installing on HP-UX You can start System Management Homepage by using a Web browser and navigating to http://hostname:2301/. If autostart is configured as the default, there is a daemon listening on http://hostname:2301 only (nothing is listening on port 2381 so that port will fail). When it contacts port 2301 (http), then the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is started on port 2381 (https) and the page is automatically redirected.
Installing on HP-UX After changing the autostart mode to "on boot" (with the smhstartcommand -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. Patching or Updating the Software HP may issue patches to the System Management Homepage. If this is the case, you can adopt a proactive patch management strategy and regularly check the standard patch resources: ● IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://itrc.hp.
Chapter 5. Installing on Windows This chapter provides steps to install System Management Homepage on the Windows operating system.
Installing on Windows ● Select Local Access Anonymous or Local Access Administrator to set up the System Management Homepage to automatically grant local IP addresses at the selected access level. Caution: Selecting Local Access with Administrator privileges provides any users with access to the local console full access without prompting them for a user name or password. 6. Click Next. The Trust Mode dialog box appears. 7.
Installing on Windows Note: To delete a certificate, select the certificate and click Delete. The selected certificate is removed. ● Trust By Name a. Select Trust By Name. b. Click Next. The Trusted Server dialog box appears. Note: Although the Trust By Name mode is a slightly stronger method of security than the Trust All mode, it still leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks.
Installing on Windows a. Enter the Subnet IP Address in the designated field. b. Enter the NetMask in the designated field. c. Click Add, and the Subnet IP Address/NetMask is displayed in the dialog box. To delete a Subnet IP Address/Netmask from the dialog box, select a Subnet IP Address/NetMask, and click Delete. The Subnet IP Address/Netmask is removed from the dialog box. Note: You can add up to five Subnet IP Address/NetMask pairs. 9. Click Next. The IP Restricted Logins dialog box appears.
Installing on Windows Note: If Next is selected without adding any IP addresses to either theInclude or Exclude lists, a warning message appears stating, IP Restricted Login checkbox will be marked as disabled. Do you want to proceed without adding any IP Address restrictions? If you select OK, the IP Restricted Login option on the IP Restricted Login dialog box is deselected, and the Install Preview dialog box appears. 12. Click Next. The Install Preview Panel appears.
Installing on Windows Reinstalling silently using the CLI To reinstall silently using the CLI: setup.exe /s /reinst /f1 Note: The /s /reinst command reinstalls the same version of System Management Homepage. The /s /preserve command preserves the existing hpsmh.xml settings. If you are performing an initial installation of System Management Homepage 2.x, the /preserve command preserves the pre-2.x settings if present in the compaq\wbem directory.
Chapter 6. Using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility This chapter provides steps to install System Management Homepage on the Windows operating system using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility. ● “Installing Remotely on Windows Using ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility” (page 29) The previous chapter provides steps to install System Management Homepage in-place on the Windows operating system.
Using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility 3. To add System Management Homepage groups: 1. In the Group Name field, enter a name for the group.

Note: It is necessary to assign an account to an operating system user group with administrator privileges to access the Version Control Repository Manager from the Version Control Agent.
Using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility Click OK to select another file, or click Cancel to close the dialog box. The Trusted Certificate List appears. Note: If you click Next without adding any certificates to the list, and no certificates exist from a previous installation, a message appears indicating that if you do not specify any trusted certificates, HP Systems Insight Manager cannot access the HP Insight Management Agents on this system.
Using the ProLiant Remote Deployment Utility ● Trust All a. Select Trust All. b. Click Next. The IP Binding dialog box appears. Note: The Trust All option leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks and sets up the System Management Homepage to accept certain requests from any server. For example, you might want to use Trust All if you have a secure network, and everyone in the network is trusted. 8. Select IP Binding to enable the Subnet IP Address and NetMask.
