2 Preparing to install HP SMH
You can install HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) on systems running HP-UX, Linux, and Windows
operating systems.
You can install HP SMH locally using the Windows ProLiant or Integrity Support Pack or the Linux RPM (Red
Hat Package Manager) or remotely with optional preconfiguration using the HP Smart Update Manager
(HPSUM) on Windows or on Linux.
Installation information
•For HP-UX operating 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 operating systems, the configuration settings are preserved in the
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml file.
•For Linux operating systems
HP SMH is installed by an RPM package without asking you to configure any settings. After the
installation is complete, run the script /opt/hp/hpsmh/sbin/smhconfig on a ProLiant system or
/opt/hp/hpsmh/smhconfig/hpSMHSetup.pl on Itanium-based operating systems to set the
security options used by all HP Web-based Agents on the system. Otherwise, these settings use default
values.
To change the default configuration values, type the following command at the root prompt:
/opt/hp/hpsmh/sbin/smhconfig
•For Windows operating systems
The configuration settings are carried over from the <System Drive>:\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml
file, and the wizard initiates the configuration.
NOTE: libiconv source module is placed in the SMH installation directory <System
Drive>:\hp\hpsmh\extras for Windows x64 systems only.
NOTE: If HP SIM is installed after HP SMH is installed, the HP SMH 2048-bit key pair is replaced with the
HP SIM 1024-bit key pair.
You can also install HP SMH on Integrity servers from the HP SmartSetup CD.

3 Installing HP SMH on HP-UX operating systems
System Administration Management Tool changes: SAM and HP SMH
The HP-UX System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP SMH is the system
administration tool for managing HP-UX 11i. HP SMH provides web-based systems management functionality,
at-a-glance monitoring of system component health, and consolidated log viewing. HP SMH also provides
a Terminal User Interface (TUI). SAM continues to provide access to TUI and X-based interfaces.
Some of the key changes are:
•The SAM Functional Area Launcher (FAL) is replaced by the HP SMH web-based graphical user interface
(GUI).
•The enhanced TUI offers improved look and feel, online viewing of manpages, command previews,
and other improvements.
•For HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) only, a new command, smh (1m) is introduced (/usr/sbin/smh). This
command is an enhanced version of the sam (1m) command (/usr/sbin/sam).
•The sam command in /usr/sbin/sam is deprecated. Any invocation of /usr/sbin/sam will display
the deprecation message and launch /usr/sbin/smh.
Installing HP SMH on HP-UX
To install HP SMH on HP-UX, you have several options:
•Installing from the HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) OE media (February 2007 and later) and from the HP-UX
11i v3 (B.11.31) Applications media (February 2007 and later)
•Installing from the HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) OE media (May 2005 and later) and from the HP-UX 11i
v2 (B.11.23) Applications media (September 2005 and later)
•Installing from the HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) OE media (September 2005 and later) and from the HP-UX
11i v1 (B.11.11) Applications media (May 2005 and later)
•Installing from the HP SMH website, which you can find on the Software Depot home at http://
www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot .
NOTE: After you install HP SMH, it is configured automatically for you. To change the default configuration
settings, go to “Configuring HP SMH” (page 16).

Software
If you do not have these applications on your system, you can use the following resources to install them
before or after you install HP SMH:
•If you installed or updated HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) from the media, then the applications were
recommended to install. If you installed or updated HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) or HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23)
from the media, then the applications were installed by default. See the HP-UX Installation and Update
Guide on the HP Technical Documentation website at http://docs.hp.com for instructions on how to
install and update HP-UX, including recommended and default-installed HP application bundles. See
“Installing HP SMH using the Applications media” (page 15).
•You can use swinstall to install or update the bundles (for example, hpuxwsApache and
hpuxwsTomcat) using the HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11), HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), and HP-UX 11i v3
(B.11.31) media. See “Installing HP SMH using the Applications media” (page 15).
•You can go to the Software Depot Home at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot to search for and
download the application bundles. You can then use swinstall to install the applications. See
“Installing using HP SMH Software Depot” (page 16).
•You can also download the bundles to a depot on your network and use Ignite-UX and Software
Distributor to install them. This process is helpful if you need to create one image to install on multiple
operating systems. See the Ignite-UX Administration Guide and the Software Distributor Administration
Guide on the HP Technical Documentation website at http://docs.hp.com.
Installing HP SMH using the Applications media
To install HP SMH and other HP Applications, you must have root privileges. These instructions assume you
are installing from a DVD.
1. Mount the Applications DVD. To install software from the Applications DVD, you must mount the DVD
as a file system that HP-UX 11i can access:
a. Determine the DVD device name.
Use the ioscan -funC disk command to list disk devices, including the DVD devices.
b. If one does not exist, create a mount point for the Applications DVD.
The mount point is a directory that HP-UX uses as an access point for the DVD. Often a /cdrom
directory is used. If this directory does not exist, create it using the mkdir command.
c. Using the mount command, specify the DVD device name and mount point. For example, the
following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 device as the /cdrom directory:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /cdrom
See the mount (1M) manpage for details.
2. Determine which products and versions are on your system, useing the swlist command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l product
Installing HP SMH using the Applications media 15

3. Install software from the Applications DVD useing the swinstall.
The following example uses swinstall to install software from the source mounted at /cdrom:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /cdrom bundlename
See the swinstall (1M) manpage for details.
4. Select and install software from the Applications DVD.
The swinstall program has an interface for selecting and installing software from the DVD.
5. Unmount and eject the Applications DVD.
You must unmount the DVD before you can eject it from the DVD-ROM drive. The DVD automatically
unmounts whenever the server reboots.
Use the umount command to unmount the DVD. For example, umount /cdrom unmounts the /cdrom
file system. See the umount (1M) manpage for details.
6. Start using HP SMH.
Installing using HP SMH Software Depot
1. Go to the Software Depot Home at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
2. Find the product that you want to download. Each product has a web page with information and
download links.
3. Click the Receive link.
4. Complete the registration form.
5. Review any installation instructions.
6. Save the bundle to a local directory such as /var/temp.
7. Install the product to your system:
swinstall -s /var/temp/ depot_filename.depot bundlename
For example: swinstall -s \
/var/temp/SysMgmtHomepage_A2214_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA+PA.depot SysMgmtWeb
8. Start using HP SMH.
NOTE: When HP SMH is installed, the user hpsmh and group hpsmh is automatically added to the
/etc/passwd file. If you are using LDAP or any other network service to manage user and group accounts,
there might be a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) is already in use by the LDAP users,
which can be confusing. The problem occurs in HP-UX 11i v3 on Integrity systems.
To overcome this, add a local hpsmh user and group using a unique UID and GID (IDs not in use by LDAP
or the other network services) manually before installing the HP SMH.
1. Determine the available reserved IDs for the group (for example, 130) and the user (for example, 125).
2. Add the group using the command /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 hpsmh.
3. Add the user using the command /usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g hpsmh -d/var/opt/hpsmh
\ -c "System Management Homepage" hpsmh.
4. Add the group using the command /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 130 hpsmh.
5. Add the user using the command /usr/sbin/useradd -u 125 -g hpsmh -d /var/opt/hpsmh
\ -c "System Management Homepage" hpsmh.
Configuring HP SMH
The HP SMH configuration is based on environment variables and tags that are set by the following files:
•/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars
•/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
•/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf
•CLI smhconfig tool located at /opt/hpsmh/bin
16 Installing HP SMH on HP-UX operating systems

To change the default configuration, you can modify the files to set the value of the variables and tags
described in Table 3-2 “Variables and tags” table.
Table 3-2 Variables and tags
ScriptDescriptionVariable
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvarsThis variable points to the
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars directory
where JDK is installed.
JAVA_HOME
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xmlThe <session-timeout> tag defines the HP
SMH session timeout in minutes. If it is
defined, then the HP SMH session stops
after the time period has elapsed without
any user activity. If it is not defined, then
the default for the HP SMH session timeout
is 15 minutes. You can define the
<session-timeout> tag using any value
between 6 and 120 minutes.
<session-timeout>15</session-timeout>
/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.confThe TIMEOUT_SMH environment variable
defines the HP SMH server timeout in
minutes. If it is defined and lower than the
HP SMH session timeout, the HP SMH
server stops 3 minutes after the HP SMH
session timeout. If it is defined and greater
than the HP SMH session timeout, then the
HP SMH server stops after the time period
has elapsed without any user activity. If it
is not defined or equal to zero, then HP
SMH starts without timeout. When the
"automatic startup on boot" startup mode
is in use, the timeout mechanism does not
start.
TIMEOUT_SMH
/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.confThis variable defines the Tomcat timeout in
minutes in the
/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf file.
If it is defined, Tomcat istops after this time
period has elapsed without any request to
a Java web application. By default, the
timeout for the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet
Engine is 20 minutes and the timeout for
the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is
30 minutes. If it is not defined or equal to
zero, then Tomcat starts without timeout. In
this case, Tomcat stops only when HP SMH
is stopped.
TIMEOUT_TOMCAT
/opt/hpsmh/tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf
/opt/hpsmh/tomcat/conf/server.xml
NOTE: The value of the Connector port in
the
/opt/hpsmh/tomcat/conf/server.xml
file should match the port number mentioned
in the
/opt/hpsmh/tomcat/conf/tomcat.conf
file for successful communication between
the HP SMH Apache and Tomcat process.
Restart the HP SMH process whenever there
is a change in this port value.
With HP SMH running on Apache 2.2, this
parameter defines the port used for
communication between the Apache server
and the Tomcat server. The default value
is 1188.
TOMCAT_PORT=1188
TOMCAT_PORT (HP-UX 11i v3)
Configuring the startup mode
HP SMH supports three startup modes:
•Autostart URL
This mode is the default setting. You can start HP SMH by using a web browser and navigating to
http://hostname:2301/. If autostart is the default, a daemon listens on http://hostname:2301

only (nothing listens on port 2381, so that port fails). When it contacts port 2301 (http), then the HP-UX
Apache-based Web Server starts on port 2381 (https), and the page redirects.
•Automatic startup on boot
This mode starts HP SMH automatically during system initialization. If the automatic startup on boot
start mode is enabled and the system was rebooted using this configuration, you can access HP SMH
using a web browser and navigating to https://hostname:2381/. Daemons listen on both
http://hostname:2301/ and https://hostname:2381/. If you use port 2301 (http), then the HP-UX
Apache-based Web Server starts on port 2381 (https), and the page automatically redirects.
NOTE: For autostart URL and automatic startup on boot, you can use http://hostname:2301. This
is possible on an HP-UX operating system only.
•Manual startup
You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX CLI.
Configure the startup mode of the HP SMH server and the Tomcat instance using
/opt/hpsmh/bin/smhstartconfig script.
•
Syntax: smhstartconfig [ -a {on|off} -b {on|off} ] [ -t {on|off} ]
Options:
-a {on|off} Enable or disable the autostart URL mode.
-b {on|off} Enable or disable the automatic startup on boot mode.
-t {on|off} Set the Tomcat startup mode where:
on Starts Tomcat when HP SMH starts.
off Starts Tomcat on demand (default).
•You can start HP SMH from the HP-UX CLI.
To configure the Apache version to be used by the HP SMH (HP-UX 11i v3), execute the following
script.
smhstartconfig -v {2.0|2.2}
where, selecting:
•2.2 starts HP SMH with Apache 2.2
•2.0 starts HP SMH with Apache 2.0
If you do not specify an option, then smhstartconfig displays the current startup mode. The
smhstartconfig command does not accept -a on and -b on options simultaneously.
For more information, see the smhstartconfig (1M) manpage:
man smhstartconfig or man sam
After changing the autostart mode to "on boot" (with the smhstartconfig -b on -a off command),
you can start the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server processes with the /opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh
start command without rebooting.
Disabling port 2301
You can disable port 2301. In the smhpd.xml file the <port2301> tag by default is set to True. To disable
port 2301, you must set the value to False. You can use the smhconfig command to modify the configuration.
For more information about using the smhconfig command, see the smhconfig (1M) manpage.
