3 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.
Some of the key changes are:
• The SAM Functional Area Launcher (FAL) is replaced by the HP SMH web-based graphical user interface
(GUI).
• The enhanced TUI offers improved look and feel, online viewing of manpages, command previews,
and other improvements.
• For HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) only, a new command, smh (1m) is introduced (/usr/sbin/smh). This
command is an enhanced version of the sam (1m) command (/usr/sbin/sam).
• The sam command in /usr/sbin/sam is deprecated. Any invocation of /usr/sbin/sam will display
the deprecation message and launch /usr/sbin/smh.
