Alert

own generated certificates into each managed system, you can install a certificate authority
Root Certificate into each browser to be used for management. If this is implemented, the
Security Alert

dialog box does not appear. If the alert is displayed when you do not expect

it, you might have browsed to the wrong system. You can refer to the online help in your

Starting from the HP-UX Command Line

When you run either the sam or smh command and the DISPLAY environment variable is set,
HP SMH opens in the default web browser. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, HP
SMH opens in the TUI. Most of the applications for performing administration tasks are now
available through the web-based GUI interface and an enhanced TUI. However, few applications
continue to open in ObAM based X-windows or ObAM based TUI.

You are recommended to use the smh(1M) command. However, the sam(1M) command will
continue to be available and behave just as the smh(1M) command. Some of the functional areas
previously available for system administration are obsolete. These areas are listed in the HP-UX
11i Release Notes available on the HP Technical documentation web site at

HP SMH Management Server

By default, the HP SMH management server under HP-UX only starts on demand. It does not
run continually. A daemon listens on port 2301 to start an instance of the management server.
On Linux, HP SMH is started on boot.
