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, 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 hardware fault and status monitoring, performance data, system thresholds, diagnostics, and software version control for an individual server.

HP SMH can be installed on HP-UX, Linux (x86, AMD64, and Intel Itanium), and Windows operating systems. On an HP-UX system, HP SMH has a bundle tag of SysMgmtWeb and is default installed with the HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) and HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) Operating Environments.

HP SIM

HP 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.

You can also configure HP SMH to trust HP SIM such that an additional login is not required when traversing from HP SIM to HP SMH. This is done by accepting the HP SIM certificate from the HP SMH Login page when first accessing HP SMH from HP SIM.

Accepting the HP SIM certificate is the default behavior.

There are also several HP SIM tools (under the Configure > HP-UX Configuration category) that access HP SIM-based plugins directly.

Integrated Management Tools

HP 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 based on HP SMH. These include such areas as Partition Management, Peripheral Devices, Disks & File Systems, Users and Groups, and Kernel Configuration.
