TIP: After the installation is complete, you can start using HP SMH immediately. Configuring HP SMH The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables that are set by the /opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars and /opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf scripts. To change the default configuration, you can modify the scripts to properly set the value of the following variables. Variable Description Script JAVA_HOME Points to the directory where JDK is installed.
-b -t Enable/disable the automatic startup on boot mode. Set the Tomcat startup mode where: on off Start Tomcat when HP SMH starts. Start Tomcat on demand (default). If no options are specified, then smhstartconfig displays the current startup mode. The smhstartconfig command does not accept -a on and -b on options simultaneously.
