• Issue: Using the FireFox 3 browser, when you attempt to open HP SMH in the current HP SIM
window, the Single Sign-On (SSO) content is not displayed in the HP SMH login page.
Description: This is expected behavior as FireFox uses same-origin policy (SOP) for Javascripts.
One possible workaround is you could open HP SMH in a new browser window or tab.

• Issue: It is not possible to modify the smhpd.conf file.
Description: This is expected behavior. HP SMH does not allow you to modify the smhpd.conf
file. This file is generated every time HP SMH starts. Even if you modify this file, HP SMH
overwrites it when you start HP SMH the next time.
• Issue: Multiple users can simultaneously login to HP SMH as root users and perform
administration tasks.
Description: This is expected behavior. The underlying commands will handle conflicts, if any.
• Issue: Internal disks are displayed at Home > Storage > Disks.
Description: A system can have internal disks that do not show under Home > Storage > Disks.
However, when you navigate to Home > System Configuration > Disks and File Systems, the
external LUN disks as well as the internal disks are displayed. But, at Home > Storage > Disks,
only internal disks are displayed. This is the expected behavior.
See QXCR1001049632 for further details.
• For HP SMH 3.1.2 for HP-UX 11i v2 only
Issue: HP SMH does not work if Apache 2.0 is removed. This issue occurs because HP SMH
requires Apache 2.0 to be installed. While you can migrate to Apache 2.2, HP SMH 3.1.2
works only with Apache 2.0.
Description: The current version of HP SMH runs using only Apache 2.0 which executes from
the path /opt/hpws. Even if Apache version 2.2 is installed, SMH works well without any
conflicts. This is because Apache runs using port number 80 whereas HP SMH runs using port
number 2301 and 2381. Even when multiple instances of Apache are operating, SMH works
by using its own instance of only Apache version 2.0.
Workaround: You can have both Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2 on the same system. The two
versions can coexist since they execute from different paths. Apache 2.0 runs from the path
/opt/hpws whereas Apache 2.2 runs from the path /opt/hpws22.
HP SMH WebApps for HP-UX 11.31
Disks and File Systems (FSWeb)
• Issue: If a Serviceguard cluster is down, the Disks and File Systems application does not allow
creating a perfect cluster volume group.
Description: The Disks and File Systems application creates and distributes a volume group,
but it fails to mark the volume group as cluster aware. As a result, it appears that the creating
cluster volume group operation has failed, and instead a new volume group is created. This
is a known behavior of the Disks and File Systems application in HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23).
Workaround: To resolve this issue, change the volume group cluster-aware either by bringing
the Serviceguard cluster up and running vgchange command or explicitly configure the
