Configuring HP SMH
The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables and tags that are set by
SystemDrive\hp\hpsmh\smhpd.xml file. To change the default configuration, you can modify
the XML file to properly set the value of the tags. There are three ways to modify the XML file:
• Editing the XML file with a text editor application
• Using the CLI smhconfig.exe tool located at SystemDrive\hp\hsmh\bin
• Using HP SMH interface through a browser
NOTE: Not all configurations can be accomplished using a browser.
