HP System Management Homepage 7.0 Installation Guide

NOTE: For autostart URL and automatic startup on boot, you can use http://hostname:2301.
This is possible on an HP-UX operating system only.
• Manual startup
You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX CLI.
Configure the startup mode of the HP SMH server and the Tomcat instance using /opt/
hpsmh/bin/smhstartconfig script.
◦
Syntax: smhstartconfig [ -a {on|off} -b {on|off} ] [ -t {on|off}
]
Options:
-a {on|off} Enable or disable the autostart URL mode.
-b {on|off} Enable or disable the automatic startup on boot mode.
-t {on|off} Set the Tomcat startup mode where:
on Starts Tomcat when HP SMH starts.
off Starts Tomcat on demand (default).
◦ You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX CLI.
To configure the Apache version to be used by the HP SMH (HP-UX 11i v3), execute the
following script.
smhstartconfig -v {2.0|2.2}
where, selecting:
– 2.2 starts HP SMH with Apache 2.2
– 2.0 starts HP SMH with Apache 2.0
If you do not specify an option, then smhstartconfig displays the current startup mode.
The smhstartconfig command does not accept -a on and -b on options simultaneously.
For more information, see the smhstartconfig(1M) manpage:
man smhstartconfig or man sam
After changing the autostart mode to "on boot" (with the smhstartconfig -b on -a
off command), you can start the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server processes with the
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh start command without rebooting.
Disabling port 2301
You can disable port 2301. In the smhpd.xml file the <port2301> tag by default is set to True.
To disable port 2301, you must set the value to False. You can use the smhconfig command to
modify the configuration.
For more information about using the smhconfig command, see the smhconfig(1M) manpage.
