2 Getting Started

To get started with

HP System Management Homepage

(HP SMH), use the following information when

configuring HP SMH and setting up users and security properly.

To configure HP SMH:

On HP-UX operating environments, HP SMH is installed with default settings. You can change the
configuration by modifying the environment variables and tag values set in the following files:

/opt/hpsmh/lbin/envvars

/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml

/opt/hpsmh/conf/timeout.conf

On Linux operating systems, HP SMH is installed with default settings. The settings are configurable by
using the perl script (hpSMHSetup.pl) located in /usr/local/hp (for Linux x86 and x64 systems) or,
in /opt/hp/hpsmh/smhconfig/hpSMHSetup.sh for Itanium systems.

On Windows operating systems, the installation enables you to configure HP SMH settings during
installation.

NOTE:
