HP X5000 G2 Network Storage System Administrator Guide

HP System Management Homepage
The HP System Management Homepage (SMH) is a web-based interface that consolidates and
simplifies single system management for HP servers. The SMH is the primary tool for identifying
and troubleshooting hardware issues in the storage system. You may choose this option to diagnose
a suspected hardware problem. Go to the SMH main page and open the Overall System Health
Status and the Component Status Summary sections to review the status of the storage system
hardware.
By aggregating the data from HP web-based agents and management utilities, the SMH provides
a common, easy-to-use interface for displaying the following information:
• Hardware fault and status monitoring
• System thresholds
• Diagnostics
• Software and firmware version control for an individual server
• HP Storage 1210m firmware information
The SMH Help menu provides documentation for using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the
application. For more information about the SMH software, go to www.hp.com/support/manuals
and enter System Management Homepage in the Search box. Select HP System Management
Homepage Software. A list of documents and advisories is displayed. To view SMH user guides,
select User Guide.
Starting the System Management Homepage application
To start the application, double-click the HP System Management Homepage desktop shortcut or
enter https://hostname:2381/ in Internet Explorer. The hostname can be localhost or
the IP address of the server you want to monitor. To log into SMH, enter the same username and
password you use to log in to the server. Users who have administrative privileges on the server
have the same privileges in the SMH application.
