HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, June 2006

3 Initial setup
You can install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows.
Additionally, you can install HP SMH locally using the Windows ProLiant Support Pack or the Linux RPM
(Red Hat Package Manager), or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the ProLiant Remote Deployment
Utility or the Linux Deployment Utility.
Installation information
• For HP-UX systems
HP SMH is installed or updated using the HP-UX Operating Environment (OE) media or Applications
media. You do not have to configure any settings to run the product.
For HP-UX, the configuration settings are preserved in the /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
file.
• For Linux systems
HP SMH is installed by an RPM package without asking you to configure any settings. After the
installation is complete, run the perl script utility (/usr/local/hp) to set the security options used
by all of the HP Insight Management Agents on the system. Otherwise default values are used for these
settings.
For Linux systems, the configuration settings are carried over from the
/opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml file.
• For Windows systems
The configuration settings are carried over from the\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml file, and the wizard
initiates the configuration.
NOTE If a Management HTTP Server is currently installed on the machine, the configuration settings are
carried over to that system.
If HP Systems Insight Manager is installed after HP SMH is installed, the HP SMH 2048-bit key pair will be
replaced with the HP Systems Insight Manager 1024-bit key pair.
NOTE You can also install HP SMH on Integrity servers from the HP SmartSetup CD.
