System Management Homepage (Web-Based)

The System Management Homepage (HP SMH) helps you with detailed system administration. When you log in via the web (see “Starting an HP SMH Web Client”), you see a Home page that gives you access to a wide range of system information and some principal areas of system configuration.

The Tools page, selectable from the menu bar, displays the full range of configuration tools available through HP SMH. The following list summarizes the available tools, based on the Mission Critical Operating Environment. Depending on OE, installation choices, and added optional software, your Tools page may be different.

Starting an HP SMH Web Client

You should have an X Window System client running on the local system. See HP-UX System Administrator’s Guide: Configuration Management for details.

In a browser window, enter one of the following URLs, where targetsystem is the host domain name or IP address of the system being managed:

http://targetsystem:2301/

You will see a Web page with the message:

Please Wait... You will be redirected to the System Management Homepage

If the hpsmh daemon has not been started on the target system, it is automatically started.

After a brief wait, you will see the login Web page for HP SMH. Enter a valid HP SMH login name (for example, root) and the password.

https://targetsystem:2381/

If the hpsmh daemon is running on the target system, you will see the login Web page for HP SMH. Enter a valid HP SMH login name (for example, root) and the password.
If the hpsmh daemon has not been started on the target system, you will see a browser-dependent message, such as:
The page cannot be displayed (Internet Explorer)
Unable to connect (Firefox)
The document contains no data (Mozilla)
Try using the URL for port 2301 (above).

Starting the HP SMH Daemon on the Target System

To start the HP SMH daemon on the target system, enter the command:

# /opt/hpsmh/bin/hpsmh autostart

The HP SMH daemon is also started if a browser attempts to access port 2301 on the target system, as with the URL: http://targetsystem:2301/
