interface service. The driver enables communication routing of SNMP traffic from the ProLiant
Management Agents through the dedicated iLO management NIC.
For documentation on Integrated Lights-out which is supported by the iLO management interface
driver, visit http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/remotemgmt.html. See
the QuickSpecs for each product to determine the servers and the operating systems supported.
HP System Management Homepage (hpsmh)
The HP System Management Homepage is a web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies
single system management for HP servers running Linux operating systems. The System Management
Homepage aggregates and displays data from Web Agents and other HP Web-enabled System
Management Software that includes HP Insight Diagnostics, the Array Configuration Utility, and
the HP Software Version Control Agents. The System Management Homepage enables IT
administrators to view in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics,
system thresholds, diagnostics, and software version control information using a single intuitive
interface. Additional information about Insight Management Agents is available at http://
h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/index.html.
Customers without automatic monitoring tools can view status information for servers that have the
HP System Management Homepage, previously called ProLiant Management Agents, installed
using a standard Web browser. The HP System Management Homepage responds to port 2381
(if the installed browser supports SSL encryption). For example, point the browser to https://
192.1.1.20:2381 or https://localhost:2381 (the "https://" portion of the address is required).
The HP System Management Homepage allows you to view subsystem and status information from
a Web browser, either locally or remotely.
TIP: To install System Management Homepage (hpsmh) you must be logged in as “root”. See
the hpsmh Installation Guide located at http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/
SupportManual/c01658588/c01658588.pdf for detailed information.
HP System Management Homepage templates (hp-smh-templates)
The information that hp-snmp-agents makes available through SNMP can be viewed in the HP
System Management Homepage. The HP System Management Homepage Templates
(hp-smh-templates) package provides the necessary files to link the SNMP data to the HP System
Management Homepage. hp-snmp-agents and hpsmh are prerequisites for installing the
hp-smh-templates.
Systems Insight Manager
HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) combines the strengths of Insight Manager 7, HP Toptools,
and HP Servicecontrol Manager to deliver a single tool for managing HP ProLiant, Integrity, and
HP 9000 systems running Linux and other operating systems. The core HP SIM software uses WBEM
to deliver the essential capabilities required to manage all HP server platforms.
HP SIM can be extended to provide system management with plug-ins for HP clients, storage,
power, and printer products. Plug-in applications for workload management, capacity management,
virtual machine management, and partition management through the Integrity Essentials enable
you to pick the value-added software required to deliver complete lifecycle management for your
hardware assets.
For installation information, see the SIM Linux Installation and Configuration Guide available under
Install and configure section at HP Systems Insight Manager Information library http://
