6 Installing HP SMH directly on Linux operating systems
Installation for Linux on x86 and x86_64 operating systems
The HP SMH installation for Linux enables you to silently install HP SMH on x86 and x86_64
operating systems. After the installation is complete, you can configure the HP SMH settings.
NOTE: To install HP SMH, you must log in as root user.
NOTE: HP SMH already uses the user and group name hpsmh. Do not use the hpsmh user and
group name for any other purpose.
Installing HP SMH on Linux x86 operating systems
To install HP SMH on x86 operating systems, your system must meet the minimum requirements.
In addition, you must have the hpsmh-6.x.x-y.i386.rpm.
Note: The general 32-bit RPM List is not installed by default.
To install HP SMH, enter the following command line:
rpm - ivh hpsmh-6.x.x-y.i386.rpm
A message appears indicating that HP SMH installed successfully with default configuration values.
For more information regarding minimum requirements, see “Installation requirements” (page 5).
Installing HP SMH on x86_64 operating systems
To install HP SMH on x86_64 operating systems, your system must meet the minimum requirements.
In addition, you must have the hpsmh-6.x.x-y.x86_64.rpm
NOTE: While installing or uninstalling HP SMH manually, insserv: warning: script
'SCRIPT NAME' missing LSB tags and overrides may be generated (in newer version
of the servers, for example: Novell/SUSE Linux), however, these warnings do not impact HP SMH
functionality or its installation or uninstallation.
If you wish to avoid such warnings, edit the INIT INFO block of the particular init script <SCRIPT
NAME> per the corresponding operating system requirement.
rpm - ivh hpsmh-6.x.x-y.x86_64.rpm
hpsmh-User/Group policies
On Linux operating systems, the web server runs as a particular user (hpsmh) and does not have
administrative access. The webapp can set the uid bits appropriately during installation and setuid
at runtime to gain administrative access, if necessary. When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh
and the group hpsmh are automatically added to the /etc/passwd file.
