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: To change the configurations for the HP-UX, Linux, and Windows operating systems, see the HP
System Management Homepage Installation Guide on the HP Technical Documentation Web site at http:/

To set up user access and security properly:
