HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview
Though HP SMH does not have an X Window native interface
8
, a few applications
launched by HP SMH continue to open in ObAM based X Window or ObAM based
TUI.
A majority of the applications in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of HP SMH support
multi-byte locales. However, the Text User Interface (TUI) of HP SMH does not support
locales other than English. Therefore, HP recommends that you run smh(1m) TUI in
C locale.
NOTE: ObAM is the technology used by SAM, the former single server administration
tool.
When you run either the /usr/sbin/sam or /usr/sbin/smh command and 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 using its terminal interface.
When first launched, the terminal version of HP SMH presents you with the main
menu, which is the gateway to its functional areas:

Launch the functional area you want to work in by typing the letter next to its entry
in the main menu. For example, type e to launch the Resource Manager or p to
launch the Printers and Plotters functional area.
Launching the HP SMH Web Interface
To access the HP SMH web interface from a browser (either locally or on a remote
system, perhaps a PC), use the address:
http://name_of_system_to_administer:2301/
8. Although the GUI for the System Management Homepage isn’t a native X Window application, HP
SMH will attempt to use X Window to open a browser on a remote X display when you use the w
menu item from the main menu.
