The 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 (x86, AMD64, and Intel Itanium),
and Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
By aggregating the data from HP Web-based agents and management utilities, HP SMH
provides a common, easy-to-use interface for displaying the following
information: Hardware fault
and status monitoring Software
version control for an individual server
On an HP-UX system, HP SMH has a
bundle tag of SysMgmtWeb and is installed by
default on all HP-UX versions, including HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), HP-UX
11i v2 (B.11.23), and HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) Operating Environments. HP SIMHP SMH
is tightly integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). You can easily navigate to HP SMH from the System Lists and System Pages in HP SIM. There are also several HP SIM
tools (under the Configure HP-UX Configuration category) that
access HP SMH-based plugins directly.
Integrated Management ToolsHP SMH provides the management server for Web-based system
administration. For HP-UX, key functional areas of
the HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) have been
enhanced to provide Web-based management capabilities and are now
integrated into HP SMH. These include such areas as Partition Management,
Peripheral Devices, Disks & File Systems, Users and Groups, and
Kernel Configuration.
HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) DeprecationThe HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) was
an HP-UX System Administration tool that provided tools for performing
system administration tasks. In the HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) release
of HP-UX, SAM is deprecated. HP SMH, an enhanced version of SAM,
is the recommended tool for managing HP-UX. HP SMH
provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Terminal User Interface (TUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing
HP-UX. You can access these interfaces using the smh command (/usr/sbin/smh). You can also use the sam(1M) command, which behaves the same as the smh(1M) command, but the deprecation message is displayed
in the beginning. Most applications for performing
administration tasks are now available through the web-based GUI
interface and the enhanced TUI. However, a few applications continue
to open in ObAM based X-windows or ObAM based TUI. Some functional areas previously available for system administration
are obsolete. These areas are listed in the HP-UX 11i Release
