NOTE: Installation of HP SMH does not require a browser. The HP Web-enabled System Management Software is hardware-dependent. For the installation to complete successfully, your system must support at least 256 colors. Verifying system requirements Before installation begins, the installation utility verifies whether: • For HP-UX, Linux, and Windows, the operating system meets the minimum requirements.
3 Preparing to install HP SMH You can install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. You can install HP SMH locally using the Windows ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack or the Linux RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the HP Smart Update Manager (HPSUM) on Windows or the Linux Deployment Utility on Linux.
4 Installing HP SMH on HP-UX operating systems System Administration Management Tool changes: SAM and HP SMH The HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP SMH is the system administration tool for managing HP-UX 11i. HP SMH provides web-based systems management functionality, at-a-glance monitoring of system component health, and consolidated log viewing. HP SMH also provides a Terminal User Interface (TUI). SAM continues to provide access to TUI and X-based interfaces.
Product Bundle Path Status /usr/conf or Recommended /usr/conf/lib/librng.a, /usr/share, /usr/include, /sbin/init.d, /sbin/rc1.d Release HP-UX Strong Random Number Generator KRNG11i HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine hpuxwsTomcat /opt/hpws/tomcat Recommended. Certain HP SMH plug-ins, such as Partition Manager require it. HP-UX 11i v1, v2, v3 HP WBEM Services WBEMSvcs /opt/wbem Recommended. Certain HP SMH plug-ins, such as Property Pages found on the Home page require it.
install and update HP-UX, including recommended and default-installed HP application bundles. See “Installing HP SMH using the Applications media” (page 17). • You can use swinstall to install or update the bundles (for example, hpuxwsApache and hpuxwsTomcat) using the HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), and HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) media. See “Installing HP SMH using the Applications media” (page 17). • You can go to the Software Depot Home at http://www.hp.
6. 7. Save the bundle to a local directory such as /var/temp. Install the product to your system: swinstall -s /var/temp/ depot_filename.depot bundlename For example: swinstall -s \ /var/temp/SysMgmtHomepage_A2214_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA+PA.depot SysMgmtWeb 8. Start using HP SMH. Configuring HP SMH The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables and tags that are set by the following files: • /opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars • /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml • /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.
Configuring the startup mode HP SMH supports three startup modes: • Autostart URL This mode is the default setting. You can start HP SMH by using a web browser and navigating to http://hostname:2301/. If autostart is the default, a daemon listens on http://hostname:2301 only (nothing listens on port 2381, so that port fails). When it contacts port 2301 (http), then the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server starts on port 2381 (https), and the page redirects.
HP might issue software updates to HP SMH. Check the following resources for any notices regarding software updates: 20 • HP-UX OE media • HP-UX Applications media • HP SMH web page on the Software Depot home at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot • HP SMH website at http://hp.
5 Installing HP SMH on a Windows operating system Installing HP SMH directly on Windows Note: You can click Cancel at any time during configuration of HP SMH settings. 1. Initiate the setup.exe file to begin the installation wizard. After the wizard begins, the Welcome dialog box appears. 2. Click Next. The OS Groups dialog box appears.
3. Add HP SMH group names: a. In the Group Name field, enter a name for the operating system group. b. Select an operating level to include Administrator, Operator, or User. Note: You must assign an account to an operating system user group with administrator privileges to access the Version Control Repository Manager from the Version Control Agent.
Select one of the following access types: • Select Anonymous Access to enable anonymous access to unsecured pages. • Select Local Access to automatically grant access to any user at the local console at the selected access level. Caution: Selecting Local Access with administrator privileges provides all users with access to the local console full access without prompting them for a user name or password. 4. Click Next. The Trust Mode dialog box appears.
5. Select the level of security you want to provide from one of the following trust modes: • 24 Trust By Certificate 1. Click Next. The Trusted Certificates dialog box appears. The Trusted Certificates dialog box allows you to add trusted certificate files to the Trusted Certificate List.

The Trusted Certificate List appears.
1. 2. Select Trust By Name. Click Next. The Trusted Server dialog box appears. Note: Although the Trust By Name mode is a slightly better security method than the Trust All mode, your system is still vulnerable to security attacks. The Trust By Name mode sets up HP SMH to accept only certain requests from servers with the HP SIM certificate names designated in the Trust By Name field. The Trust By Name option is easy to configure and can prevent unauthorized access.
1. 2. Select Trust All. Click Next. The IP Binding dialog box appears. Note: The Trust All option leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks and sets up HP SMH to accept certain requests from any server. For example, you might want to use Trust All if you have a secure network, and all users in the network are trusted. 6. Select IP Binding to enable the Subnet IP Address and NetMask.
