Configuring SMH Session Timeout
The HP SMH session timeout setting enables you to configure the HP SMH GUI timeout in
minutes. An HP SMH GUI session is stopped after the session timeout time period has elapsed
without any user activity.
If the session timeout is not defined, then it is set to 15 minutes.
To modify the session timeout setting, execute the following steps:
1. As a precautionary measure, copy the existing smhpd.xml file into a different directory.
The file is located in the following paths for each operating system listed.
• HP-UX:
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
• Windows:
<systemdrive>\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml
• Linux:
/opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml
2. Edit the smhpd.xml file:
a.
Open smhpd.xml with a text editor in the following manner.
•
HP-UX:
/opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml
• Windows:
<systemdrive>\hp\hpsmh\conf\smhpd.xml
• Linux:
/opt/hp/hpsmh/conf/smhpd.xml
b. Add the following line between the <system-management-homepage> and
</system-management-homepage>
tags:
<session-timeout>value</session-timeout>
where value can be any value between 1 and 120.
c. Save and close the file.
3. Restart the HP SMH service.
