Deprecated System Administration Manager (SAM)
Chapter 114
Deprecated System Administration Manager (SAM)
The System Administration Manager (SAM) was an HP-UX System Administration tool that
provided various tools for performing system administration tasks. In the 11i v3 release of
HP-UX, System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated.
HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH), an enhanced version of SAM, is introduced
for managing HP-UX.
HP System Management Homepage (an enhanced version of SAM) provides Graphical User
Interface (GUI) and Text User Interface (TUI) for managing HP-UX. You can access these
interfaces using the smh command (/usr/sbin/smh). However, you can also use the sam
command. The sam command behaves the same as smh command except that the deprecation
message is displayed in the beginning.
When you run either the sam or smh command and if the DISPLAY environment variable is set,
HP SMH opens in the default web browser. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, HP
SMH opens in the TUI. Most of the applications for performing administration tasks are now
available through a web-based GUI interface and an enhanced TUI. However, few
applications continue to open in ObAM based X-windows or ObAM based TUI.
