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 Notes, available on the HP Technical documentation Web site at http://docs.hp.com.
