About HP System Management Homepage
HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is a web-based interface that consolidates and
simplifies single system management for HP servers on HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating
systems. HP SMH - HP-UX comprises a number of plug-ins that enable users configure, manage,
and troubleshoot HP-UX systems.
NOTE: System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP System
Management Homepage (HP SMH), an enhanced version of SAM, is introduced for managing
HP-UX. HP SMH provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Text User Interface (TUI), and
Command-Line Interface (CLI) for managing HP-UX.
The key features of HP SMH include system administration capabilities and the ability to display
detailed information about hardware attributes. HP SMH enables IT administrators to view
in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds,
diagnostics, and software version control information using a single intuitive interface.
HP SMH integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the strategic platform for
multi-systems management from HP. HP Systems Insight Manager communicates with HP
System Management Homepage to track server health and performance and to maintain
up-to-date server inventory data. The integration also supports group configuration and setup
via HP SIM. When used in conjunction with HP SIM, alerts may be transmitted to appropriate
individuals via e-mail or pager notification. For more information about HP SIM, visit the HP
Systems Insight Manager web site at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
