HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, March 2008

3 Initial setup
You can install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX,
Linux, and Windows.
Additionally, you can install HP SMH locally 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.
Installation information
• For HP-UX systems
HP SMH is installed or updated using the HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) media or
Applications media. You do not have to configure any settings to run the product.
For HP-UX, the configuration settings are preserved in the
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml file.
• For Linux systems
HP SMH is installed by an RPM package without asking you to configure any settings. After
the installation is complete, run the perl script utility (/opt/hp//hpsmh/hpSMHSetup.pl
on ProLiant or /opt/hp/hpsmh/smhconfig/hpSMHSetup.sh on Itanium) to set the
security options used by all of the HP Web-based Agents on the system. Otherwise default
values are used for these settings.
For Linux systems, the configuration settings are carried over from the
/opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml file.
• For Windows systems
The configuration settings are carried over from the\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml file,
and the wizard initiates the configuration.
NOTE: If a Management HTTP Server is currently installed on the machine, the configuration
settings are carried over to that system.
If HP Systems Insight Manager is installed after HP SMH is installed, the HP SMH 2048-bit key
pair will be replaced with the HP Systems Insight Manager 1024-bit key pair.
You can also install HP SMH on Integrity servers from the HP SmartSetup CD.
