13.1 Access Problems
13.13.1.1
Why can’t I access the SMH pages, when Microsoft Service Console (MSC) shows
the SMH service as running?
When the SMH is not responding and the SMH processes stop unexpectedly, the
Event Viewer might display the following messages: The HP System Management
Homepage Win32 service has stopped successfully. HP System
Management Homepage Service has stopped unexpectedly.
The workaround is to restart the SMH service.
13.13.1.2
SMH Documentation Unclear on Treatment of securetty.
The HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) does not use /etc/securetty.
See login(1) for details on /etc/securetty.

After entering a hostname on Linux, HP SMH does not start.
Hostnames that are 64 characters or longer in length are not supported on Linux.
