Software Distributor overview
Software Distributor (SD) is the HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver and maintain HP-UX operating
systems and layered software applications. SD is delivered as part of HP-UX. You do not need to download
it separately.
SD works with you. System administrators use SD to manage software on HP PA-RISC and Itanium-based
systems. Software packagers use SD to organize, standardize, and distribute software to customers. HP-UX
partners use SD as the primary tool for building and testing complete solutions for the enterprise and technical
desktop.
NOTE: This product is available for HP-UX systems only.
To access SD through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), select Deploy→Software Distributor.
To view SD logs, select Tasks & Logs→View Software Distributor Agent Log and Tasks & Logs→View
Software Distributor Daemon Log.
See http://www.docs.hp.com/en/SD/ for more information and access to documentation.
Webmin overview
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for UNIX and Linux. Using HP Systems Insight
Manager (HP SIM), you can set up user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing, and so on. Webmin consists
of a miniserver and many Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, which directly update system files
such as /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl
5 and use no external modules, which means that you only need a Perl binary to run Webmin.
Because Webmin supports the concept of modules (for example, PhotoShop plug-ins), you can develop and
distribute your own Webmin modules for any purpose and distribute them under any license (such as General
Public License (GPL), commercial, or shareware).
To access Webmin in HP SIM, select Tools→Integrated Consoles→Webmin. The Webmin page appears.
Select a target system, and click Run Now.
