1 Features

The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) for HP-UX, Linux, and Windows provides the following features. They apply to all releases, except where noted.

Product features

Provides security for HP Insight Management Agents using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Linux and Windows. Provides web-based applications and security using SSL. Enables you to configure the trust mode level. Manages the user system access through the user group account. Displays all HP Web-enabled System Management Software that provides information to HP SMH. Common HTTP and HTTPS service for HP Insight Management Agents and utilities, for reduced complexity and system resource requirements. Simplified architecture for implementing HTTP security and HP management updates. Access control through Network Interface Card (NIC) binding and advanced configuration features for individual and groups of users. Broad operating system and browser support. Automated log collection via smhassist. This feature is available only on HP-UX 1 v2 and HP-UX 1 v3 systems. 1i 1i Command Line Interface (CLI) - smhconfig - that provides users with administrator rights access to set values through the command line. Facility to disable port 2301. Logging into syslog the activities related to login and logout performed on HP SMH. This feature is available only on HP-UX 1 v2 and HP-UX 1 v3 systems. 1i 1i

Partition Manager

To start Partition Manager, a user with Administrator (root) privileges can run the parmgr command with the -b option to bypass the authentication step under HP SMH. To use this feature on HP-UX 1 v1, you 1i must install KRNG11i, the Strong Random Number Generator software for HPUX 1 v1, available from the 1i Software Depot web site at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.

Available IP addresses

In HP-UX only, when autostart mode is enabled, any access made through port 2301 detects a change in the list of available IP addresses. In previous releases, SMH would only be accessible using the IP addresses defined at system startup. If new IP addresses were defined then SMH would have to be restarted to use them. With this new SMH feature, any configuration change in the list of available IP addresses, in clustered and non-clustered environments, would automatically reconfigure SMH, restarting it when needed. Environment changes such as enabling a new network card, adding ifconfig aliases, or a cluster package failover would trigger this feature. Alternatively, you can disable this feature by adding the following line to the /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml file: <monitor-ip-changes>0</monitor-ip-changes> For more information, go to the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities V1.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 1 v2 March 2006 at http://docs.hp.com/en/T2786-9001 1i 1/ch01s01.html.
Integrated applications to HP SMH
HP SMH is a framework for a number of integrated applications. HP SMH provides the following system management functionality (described in HP SMH integrated applications (page 8)) through a single user a single user interface, the HP SMH Graphical User Interface (GUI). IMPORTANT: In HP SMH on HP-UX, there are some applications such as Authenticated Commands (PAM), Resource Management, and Network Services Configuration that are not web-based. To access such applications from SMH, an X-windows application must be running on the computer whose IP address you enter in the DISPLAY text box in the application's launch page.

This configuration leaves the default SP2 security enhancements intact, but will allow traffic over the ports indicated above. The secure and insecure ports must be added to enable proper communication from your browser and other clients that access the Version Control Repository Manager. Issue: Using an ampersand character in the group name during HP SMH installation on a Windows XP system prevents you from logging into HP SMH after installation. Workaround: HP recommends that you avoid using the ampersand character in group names. Issue: HP Systems Insight Manager features do not support the use of Extended ASCII characters when specifying the HP Systems Insight Manager system. Description: The use of Extended ASCII characters does not allow the trust relationship to establish. Workaround: HP recommends that you avoid using Extended ASCII characters when specifying the HP Systems Insight Manager system. Issue: Forceful downgrading to SMH 6.0 from 6.1 or later fails on x86_64 Windows platform. Description: When SMH is downgraded forcefully from 6.1 or later to 6.0 using the command cp010944.exe /f the following error message appears:
This error is applicable for Windows x86_64 platform for SMH 6.0 only.
Workaround: HP recommends that you use the following procedure to manually downgrade SMH to 6.0: 1. 2. 3. Extract the SMH 6.0 component cp010944.exe to a folder say C:\abc. Navigate to the folder C:\abc in the command prompt. Execute the following command: setup.exe /s /removeonly /f1 C:\abc. This removes the currently installed version of HP SMH. Proceed normally to install the SMH 6.0 using the following exe file: cp010944.exe.
Issue: The search in SMH Help page does not work for Japanese characters on Internet Explorer if the language is set to Japanese. Description: When Japanese characters are entered in the Search form in SMH Help page and the a Search button is clicked, no results are displayed. This is applicable only on Internet Explorer browser when the language is set to Japanese [ja-JP]. Workaround: Enter the same Japanese characters in the search box on the results page and click on Search again. The documents matching your query is displayed.

For Windows systems only: Issue: When a system is running near the limit of the number of threads or processes its resources can support, HP SMH may not be able to start. Description: HP SMH 6.0 provides a way for users to reduce the number of threads required to avoid this issue. Modifying this setting might affect HP SMH response time and throughput. Workaround: To modify this setting, use smhconfig command to set the maximum threads value: 1. 2. Execute the following command to set the maximum thread value on the HP SMH. smhconfig --max-threads=value where, max-threads value range is 64-512.
