About HP System Management Homepage
HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) is a single system management solution for
managing HP-UX 11i. It also supports Linux and Microsoft Windows systems.
NOTE: System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated in HP-UX 11i v3. HP System
Management Homepage (HP SMH), an enhanced version of SAM, is introduced for managing
HP-UX. HP SMH provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Text User Interface (TUI), and
Command-Line Interface (CLI) for managing HP-UX.
The key features of HP SMH include system administration capabilities and the ability to display
detailed information about hardware attributes. HP SMH provides an easy-to-use interface for
displaying hardware fault and status monitoring, system thresholds, diagnostics, and software
version control for an individual server by aggregating the data from HP web-based agents and
management utilities.
HP SMH integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the strategic platform for
multi-systems management from HP. HP Systems Insight Manager communicates with HP
System Management Homepage to track server health and performance, and to maintain
up-to-date server inventory data. The integration also supports group configuration and setup
via HP SIM. When used in conjunction with HP SIM, alerts may be transmitted to appropriate
individuals via e-mail or pager notification. For more information about HP SIM, visit the HP
Systems Insight Manager web site at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
For more information on the features and benefits of HP SMH, see the Simplifying single-system
management on HP-UX 11i – HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) white paper available

What's New in This Edition
This is the first edition of the document. This edition covers the functionalities in SAM that are
now available in HP SMH on HP-UX systems.
Starting HP SMH
This chapter describes how to start SMH on an HP-UX system. You can access the SMH GUI
and TUI interfaces using the smh command (/usr/sbin/smh). In HP-UX 11i v3, you can also
use the sam command, which functions the same way as the smh command, except that the
deprecation message is displayed in the beginning.
