into each managed system, you can install a certificate authority Root Certificate into each browser to
be used for management. If a Root Certificate is implemented, the Security Alert dialog box does not
appear. If the alert appears, you might have browsed to the wrong system. For more information about
installing the certificate authority Root Certificate, see the online help in your browser.

Starting from the HP-UX Command Line

When you run 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
applications for performing administration tasks are available through the Web-based GUI interface and
an enhanced TUI. However, some applications continue to open in ObAM based X-windows or ObAM
based TUI.

HP recommends using the

smh(1M) command. However, the sam(1M) command continues to be available

and behave just as the

smh(1M) command. Some 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

http://docs.hp.com

HP SMH Management Server

By default, the HP SMH management server for HP-UX starts only 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.
